  1. Re:Elon Musk on Feeding Seaweed To Cows Eliminates Methane Emissions (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 0

    You do realize that he started from effectively nothing, right? Like, he's the epitome of the American Dream Come True...?

  2. I also wonder if there are any benchmarks. Did he time the encoding/decoding on one of the systems to which he compares this system? That's sort of standard procedure, since user experience is subjective and susceptible to bias.

  3. Re:1% on Tesla Posts Second Profitable Quarter Ever (bgr.com) · · Score: 2

    And how old are the funds in which you invest? Most are older than Tesla, I'd imagine. Give 'em a few years. There will be a tipping point soon, and they've got a good position to take advantage.

  4. I mean...is there anything else to say about this??

  5. Seems to have already been fixed. on BuzzFeed Hacked By OurMine As Group Accuses Site of Publishing 'Fake News' (thedrum.com) · · Score: 1

    Though I'm ashamed to say I actively chose to visit BuzzFeed just to check.

  6. Re:The pinnacle of slavery on 100 Unofficial Mods Released for 'No Man's Sky' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Nobody is being coerced to play; it's consumerism, not slavery. Just because you don't share the passion for this form of entertainment doesn't mean you have any right to denigrate those who enjoy it. Hop down off that high horse of yours - I think your butt is a little too chapped.

  7. I tried their subscription model... on Hulu Ends Free Streaming Service, Moves Free Stuff To Yahoo View (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    I wanted premium service, access to their entire catalog, and most importantly - NO ADS. They failed to deliver that experience, and I cancelled the same day. I still use Netflix, but if they ever start showing ads, I'll kick them to the curb just as quickly. I hardly watch anything anymore...saving $10 a month would probably be better for me anyway.

  8. It's "News for nerds" NOT "Only news about technology".

  9. Re:Suicide by politician on The FBI Recommends Not To Indict Hillary Clinton For Email Misconduct (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    You've never explored a rabbit hole, have you? I mean, I haven't either, but I still feel like it's an apt comparison. There's more than one burrow here... It's true that he wasn't specifically testifying against Clinton; however, he WAS set to begin a trial in which he testified in his own defense on actions that are connected to organizations with ties to Clinton. It's all a muddy mess, and he's already dead so that information is lost and doesn't matter anymore...but there's much more to the story than surface appearances. Spiral out...you'll eventually find the answers.

  10. Re:WHY IS THIS HERE?! on Top Gear Host Chris Evans Steps Down After Poor Ratings (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably because some people who frequent the site care about the show. It could very well be that this site wasn't designed with only you and your tastes in mind...nerds come in many flavors.

  11. Re:manishs is not doing the needful on Patent That Cost Microsoft Millions Gets Invalidated (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's the misplaced "-" that screwed up that sentence's grammar.

  12. Looks pretty, but... on Samsung Unveils Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge and Gear 360 VR Camera (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    if I can't change out the battery, I'll use my Note 4 until it dies, then switch to the new LG.

  13. To be fair... on To Solve a Rubik's Cube In 1 Second, It Takes a Robot · · Score: 1

    I've seen video of a guy doing it in about 3.5 seconds, without drilling holes in it.

  14. How many times will this be news? on Functioning Hoverboard Unveiled (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    This can't possibly be the first, second, or even tenth time we've heard about a maglev hoverboard...

  15. Re:Classic anti-energy lobby technique on Oklahoma Earthquakes Are a National Security Threat (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    So you would agree that it would be wiser to completely avoid oil farms of this size, then?

  16. Re:Bye bye dice on Newegg Beats Patent Troll Over SSL and RC4 Encryption · · Score: 0

    You do realize that the content is submitted by members and approved by members, right? "Take a drink from the firehose..." In other words, make an account and contribute positively to the community, and you can make sure that the sort of content you want to see is represented here.

  17. Re:No kidding. on Google Studies How Bad Interstitials Are On Mobile · · Score: 1

    What you're looking for is called "Pulse". It used to be independent, but was acquired by LinkedIn at some point (and I'm being too lazy to google when it happened). They have news sites, funny content, and...I don't remember what else, because that's pretty much all I use it for. Still, they have an aggregator-type method of displaying new posts from each site, which allow you to view most (if not all) of each new post in the app. If you want to see more, you can continue to the full site.

  18. We paid ~$30k for a 24TB array...call a vendor. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Store a Half-Petabyte of Data? (And Back It Up?) · · Score: 1

    They'll be happy to talk to you for free, for the prospect of getting their hands on that kind of cash. You're easily looking at $.5M-$1M between storage, processing, and redundancy.

  19. Re:Yay for HTML5 on Using HTML5 To Hide Malware · · Score: 1

    I wish I hadn't commented, just so I could upmod this. We love things that keep us relevant, don't we?

  20. Wait, wait, wait... on Using HTML5 To Hide Malware · · Score: 1

    Are you telling me that with public acceptance of the vulnerability of Flash, malicious coders have turned to the replacement standard to deliver their malware? Why would they do that? That seems unethical. They should learn to stick to the platforms we know are dangerous, so we know how to protect ourselves.

  21. What about "legitimate" use? on Pro Gamers To Be Tested For Doping · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Am I mistaken in believing that a large portion of the gaming population suffers from ADD/ADHD and is medicated? Will gamers who are medicated be disqualified from play?

  22. Re: Stop the press. The TV is on even after ... on Google Photos Uploading Your Pics, Even If You Don't Want It To · · Score: 1

    Except that your understanding of how "the app" works is flawed. The functionality for backups is built into the OS. The Google Photos App is used for VIEWING the photos. Look at your settings when you add a Google account; THAT's when you're asked about syncing, not when you open the app.

  23. Re:Is it 2013 again? on A Text Message Can Crash An iPhone and Force It To Reboot · · Score: 1

    Very cool, but I was referring specifically to the relatively recent vulnerabilities in relatively modern devices.

  24. Is it 2013 again? on A Text Message Can Crash An iPhone and Force It To Reboot · · Score: 0

    This story feels familiar...maybe one of the best reasons to avoid iOS devices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  25. Re: pro government insanity on FCC Tosses Petition Challenging Its New Internet Regulations · · Score: 1

    That's why I went ahead and bought my house now, with a fixed low-rate loan, and am paying more than the minimum so that I can (hopefully) have it paid off before the next bubble bursts. I was dumbfounded when I found out that my loan was sold within the first month...absolutely nothing has been done to prevent this sort of corruption, and I fear that because the general populace has no understanding of macroeconomics, there will never be anything done about it. I guess if you can't beat em...try to make sure they can't beat you either.
