  1. C# behind VB? Yeah sure on Is Visual Basic .NET More Popular Than JavaScript? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    stop kidding around

  2. "I propose a modification [of] general relativity" on Bizarre 'Dark Fluid' With Negative Mass Could Dominate the Universe (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    aaand you are out.

  3. Honestly. They should rather take the money, buy Opera's old engine, and bring that up to modern web standards. I would so much use that. Best browser we had.

  4. Re:Facebook is not at fault for malfunctioning hum on How Facebook's WhatsApp Destroyed A Village (buzzfeednews.com) · · Score: 1

    If facebook gives those malfunctioning humans the means to overpower the sane majority then yes, they are very much at fault.

  5. Naming collisions are not rare on Microsoft Sticks With Controversial 'GVFS' Name Despite Backlash (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    But because MS does it they must have some evil plan, right?

    In all seriousness though, if their ratings on google and stack overflow already now surpassed the ratings of GVfs, it can't be a really successful project they are pushing out of the market.

  6. Re:Unfortunately, People Will Get Hysterical on Tesla Says Autopilot Was Engaged During Fatal Model X Crash (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Heck, if you've been on the road for any time you'd know that humans drive _extremely_ unsafe in degraded conditions. Way too little spacing and outside of their visual range.

  7. Not surprising on One Percent of Reddit Users Cause 75 Percent of the Drama (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    considering 99% are lurkers

  8. Doesn't that really apply to pretty much any crypto currency though?

  9. We could just forbid browsers and devices to send stuff like user agent strings.

  10. Re:How full? on Wine Glasses Are Seven Times Larger Than They Used To Be (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    idk about where you live, but here all the standard serving sizes are the same since decades.

  11. Re:How full? on Wine Glasses Are Seven Times Larger Than They Used To Be (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. I have old small-ish wine glasses which are clearly intended to be filled near-full (for a 1/4l of wine) and huge modern wine glasses which are still nearly empty if they are at filled to the intended height (for 1/8l of wine).

  12. Shouldnt we rather be outraged about the tracking? on Australian Man Uses Snack Bags As Faraday Cage To Block Tracking By Employer (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Just saying ... if my employer wanted to track me in a similar way I'd go work for someone else.

  13. So how is this tech news? on An Unconscious Patient With a 'DO NOT RESUSCITATE' Tattoo (nejm.org) · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Seriously, this does not belong on /.

  14. Internet infrastructure should be public domain on To Save Net Neutrality, We Must Build Our Own Internet (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Same as roads for instance.

  15. NetMarketShare "correcting" metrics on No, the Linux Desktop Hasn't Jumped in Popularity (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Not the first time, and won't be the last. Don't trust these suckers on anything.

  16. Re:Didn't pass the test on SpaceX Rocket Engine Explodes During Test (space.com) · · Score: 1

    and thats why you do them

  17. Getting low-fat pigs is trivial on Chinese Scientists Create Genetically Modified Low-Fat Pigs (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    just don't put them through extensive feeding but let them grow up slowly.

  18. Russia points out racial issues in the US... on Russia Reportedly Used Pokemon Go In an Effort To Inflame Racial Tensions (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    ... so must be trying to destroy the American way of Life clearly! /s

  19. Idk either.

  20. Because that would miss the point on Why Is There No Nobel Prize In Technology? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    The Nobel Prices are about categories that _don't_ provide immediate payback to the investor but are for the general good of mankind without immediate financial gain.

  21. How is google supposed to know that a page is browser-UA-sniffing and blocking anything that isn't google bot? Personally I'd love to see if google abandoned their custom UA in favor of faking a regular browser so this kind of BS stops.

  22. Re:Obvious response on Ask Slashdot: How Did You Experience The Solar Eclipse? · · Score: 1

    From _way_ too much coverage that blew the thing absolutely out of proportion.

  23. Always great to externalize costs on Google Unveils a New, Cheaper Networking Option For Cloud Customers: the Public Internet (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    it's always nice to have someone else pay for your stuff.

  24. Not as rare as you'd think. Plus for instance our servers are configured to remove all identifying headers and behaviours like default error pages etc.

  25. Re:bullshit on Supreme Court Asked To Nullify the Google Trademark (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    To quote Scott Hanselmann: "Quickly googling with Bing ..."
