  1. They should surprise people on Domino's Will Deliver Pizza By Drone and By Robot (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Robot knocks on the door. People open it up with surprise. Then the robot says in Dr Sbiatso voice,"Give me your money human." Sleep(3000 milliseconds) "I have your pizza."

  2. I heard they want to think different than different and instead of rounded corners, they're sharpening them to a razor sharp point for self defense.

  3. I'm all right nobody worry about me. on The Rise and Fall of the Gopher Protocol (minnpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Gopher was okay, but I guess someone had the idea to add images and html was there within months it seemed. I like the internet we have now apart from the massive spying and viruses. Games are more advanced, and if you like older games, you can still play them. Wanna listen to some Bob Marley? Youtube is there.

  4. Re: Paper ballots on Voting Machines Can Be Easily Compromised, Symantec Demonstrates (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    In 2004, 2008, 2012, i voted protest e-vote because without a paper trail, anyone can hack them. Not that anyone sees that.

  5. Re: Never understood the appeal of the original on 'GoldenEye: Source' Updated: A Classic, Free Multiplayer Game (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Same, Goldeneye felt dumb compared to Quake 1. In Quake you don't see people on the screen and held more than 4 people on a server. I think the conclusion is that the people who loved Goldeneye were actually deprived kids not on a college campus at the time.

  6. I praise Bill Gates a lot and I'm Christian. Jesus wants us all looking out for each other and helping the poor. Gates and Buffet donate a lot and try and get other billionaires on board too. The world needs help that money can save lives

  7. Re: While It Sucks... on FCC Loses Court Battle To Let Cities Build their Own Broadband (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh that's simple, all we need to do is not get corrupt officials in. What do you propose the solution be? Right now bribery of politicians is legal with campaign contributions, but making that illegal won't be a complete fix.

  8. If your bread is buttered, you're stoked. on Nicholas Carr Says Tech 'Utopia Is Creepy' (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    If your only tool is a hammer, and you're getting paid to hit things with it, you're stoked. People should be happy to have jobs, a lot of America doesn't have good jobs. There's nothing wrong with getting well paid and reducing labor through automation.
    And I love social media. The scoundrels at classical media who have no journalistic integrity can't spin stuff as hard with regular folk calling them on their outlandish ideas. If you think classical media is unbiased, why will they never say a bad thing about a political candidate and nothing good about their opponent? And that is just for starters, they have less news today than trying to get you on board with what they like and dislike. You can call out news on their bs all day, and gain lots of followers. But you know what I say about Twitter followers. I don't care if you follow me. Follow Jesus Christ. He loves you.

  9. Re: That's just the beginning.... on 'Faceless Recognition System' Can Identify You Even When You Hide Your Face (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Or their gps location of their phone.

  10. Had Logo in elementary school on Seymour Papert, Creator of the Logo Language, Dies At 88 (mit.edu) · · Score: 1

    Some people did pretty stuff like flowers. I would have liked someone to have taught me variables and if then statements in basic though. We had no teachers who could do that. All I did was make print rockets in basic.

  11. Re: I don't like charges to use the Internet on Xbox One S is the Best Xbox You Might Not Want To Buy (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    And its not like they don't advertise on xbox live either. They could advertise games, doritos, and even put up their own steamlike store if they wanted. But they also add a giant wall,"Pay us to play any game multiplayer online at all... Yes, we know you get it for free on PC, but you gotta understand, we're greedy. Pity our greedy hearts and pay up." Um no, I just won't buy console. There's not many games I like post 2000 anyway.

  12. I don't like charges to use the Internet on Xbox One S is the Best Xbox You Might Not Want To Buy (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    On pc, you don't have to pay a fee to play games on the Internet. So I'll stick with PC. For a while, I thought PlayStation was better because they were free, but they started charging too. So I'll sit out this generation of console too.

  13. Amazon became a common name with low prices and everyone talks about Prime strategies. Once their prices went up, no one seemed to notice because they're used to shopping there. I bet Amazon had a banner year this year. They even tried interviewing me for a 100-150k/yr job, but I probably wasn't taking it since I'd rather stay with my family. Its funny, I'd rather have a 25k a year telecommute job than a 150k/yr job that requires me to relocate.

  14. All part of the master plan. on Slashdot Asks: Free Upgrade To Windows 10 Ends Today: What's Your Thought On This? · · Score: 2

    Fools! You didn't upgrade despite our trying the best to be jerks about it! We'll get your family pictures one way or another... By the way, we'll still use dirty tricks to force you to upgrade to 10, and we'll send out to debt collection to get you to pay now.

  15. I thought we had laws against this on 7-Eleven Just Used a Drone To Deliver Slurpees and a Chicken Sandwich (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 2

    A drone delivering 7-11 food must be considered a biowarfare war crime under the Geneva Convention.

  16. I've done more socialization in two weeks than in two years. I get out of the house and meet people who like video games also. This is so cool.

  17. How hard is it to make an extra gmail account? on PSA: Pokemon Go Has Full Access To Your Google Account Data (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably not as hard as whining about it.

  18. Wasn't this the Slashdot consensus on Nintendo Stock Price Up 9% After Pokemon Go Launch (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Nintendo would make soooo much money if they shifted focus to making games for mobile, and even porting old Ip through emulators

  19. I love when we find stuff that defies what we know about the known universe. It could open up all sorts of new discoveries if found to be legit. I wonder if Elon will plop one of these things in space with an on switch hit.

  20. Small black holes, right? on Second Gravitational Wave Detected From Ancient Black Hole Collision (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or black holes just slightly bigger than the sun sound small?

  21. Main stream media has been known to be politically spin either left or right and not be unbiased in their reporting. At least in social media, you can get individuals ideas on an event over scripted political stuff.

  22. Net neutrality is good for the people. on Tom Wheeler Defeats the Broadband Industry: Net Neutrality Wins In Court (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Net Neutrality means ISPs can't legally extort money from websites. It is obvious that Net Neutrality is right, but ISPs are so greedy that they want to extort people!

  23. Re: Not your father's Apple on Apple Is Fighting A Secret War To Keep You From Repairing Your Phone (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm probably not the only one who sees the irony in the 1984 commercial where Apple was to break up big brother, but now they're helping the government spy on everyone.

  24. We've been through this. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Create A Highly-Secure Password? (securitymagazine.com) · · Score: 0

    The most secure password on the planet is 12 characters long.
    It is: atlv!&@-9207pass
    Everyone should be using this password since it is the most secure one top people worked on.

  25. Super Early, like 4 or 5 on Slashdot Asks: How Did You Learn How To Code? · · Score: 1

    My parents saw my love of Pac Man and video games from when I was 3. They got me a computer ti-99 when I was like 4-5. I would type code from magazines on it even though I didn't know what I was doing. When I was 12, I realized I could make all sorts of games with if then, but I couldn't figure out how to do graphics on the c64. When I was 15, I spent like 8 years trying to make the first mmorpg. The first time I quit was because I didn't have socket code for qbasic though the rest of the game was solid. I recoded it in c++, but Ultima Online came out so I quit since I figured there's only a market for one major mmorpg. Been indie devving since. Also have a degree from Carnegie Mellon. But wouldn't you know it that despite coding for my entire life, and having a degree, I can't seem to get employment. I think it is odd that people say software engineers are in demand. Anyway, thank God for indie devving. I don't need some corporation to believe in my skills. I'll just make high quality software on my own.
