    Yuck.

    Neither does hitting someone in the head with a mallet.

  3. Because you are that clever and important, Waze is copying YOU.

  4. Incorrect.

  5. The word mile doesn't appear in that post.

  6. Per mile is kind of disengenuous. What happens when you do it per trip or per hour of travel? Also, by your own numbers, plane travel is nearly 10 times safer than automobile travel. So there is plenty of room for improvement.

  7. The evidence and testing is being done, and accident rates are lower for autonomous cars already.

  8. That's only because lots of elderly people die as a result of complications from a fall.

    I think benchmarks would disagree. mhz isn't everything.

    Quit complaining and buy an antenna.

    That's kind of their business model. ESPN costs $7 a month (or whatever), and they give you 15 other channels for free along with it. If they didn't give you those channels, ESPN would still cost $7. Same deal with whatever channel you value.

    I haven't owned or used an apple product since the Apple IIc. I've had a shitload of Samsung products, including 3 phones. I always regret the decision to buy their shit, and only recently swore off of them.

    Right. That's what barely good enough means.

  18. Give me an address in Chicago where I can document these lines.

  19. A lot fewer gulags and bread lines.

  20. It is state sponsored spying all the way down.

  21. Re:They should bring back the replaceable battery. on Samsung Orders the Global Shutdown of Both Sales and Exchanges of Galaxy Note 7 (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    My Note 4 broke pretty much instantly. No more Samsung for me. (Although I do love my Note Pro 12.2.)

    I'm not sure what a user replaceable battery would do. Once the battery catches fire, the phone is going to be burnt up beyond use anyway. And sending owners new batteries is going to be only marginally less painful for Samsung than sending whole new phones.

    Look, I get the idea of user replaceable batteries and SD card slots and all that stuff us geeks love. But in the end, I've never needed to really use either.

    Samsung has sucked basically forever. "Barely good enough" should be their company motto.

  23. I think you just proved that sexism is real.

    Look, I am not a fan of pedantry either. But at some point there has to be a shared understanding of word definitions or language becomes useless.
