  1. Re:It's closer now than during Cuban Missile Crisi on The Doomsday Clock Just Ticked Closer To Midnight (usatoday.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Pretty sure they also use it for climate change and other crazy shit instead of just nuclear war.

  2. I thought "peer review" was all bullshit nowadays? At least that's what all the articles on science's bias and replication issues are telling me.

  3. Re: Well... was the driver lying? on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Where can I get a cereal box driver's license? Which states accept them?

  4. Re:Yup. It's already a mess. on Buying Headphones in 2018 is Going To Be a Fragmented Mess (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The Switch uses a standard headphone jack.

  5. Nah, it'll be millennials on Senior Citizens Will Lead the Self-Driving Revolution (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Millennials are the ones not purchasing cars or bothering to learn to drive or get licenses. They'll be the ones pushing for the robotic driver revolution.

  6. They're full of shit, because Cortana doesn't work on my Xbox One and can barely understand voice commands on it. They gave up long ago on it.

  7. I'm on the inside program and my xbox has shown large achievement previews for a while. So I'm not sure what this change even is, unless it's a dedicated achievement pane instead of popping up as a screen saver. I do agree that this is a pretty pointless new update, but then again only the headline showed up and I had to click it to read the body.

  8. Re:iPhone X is a CF on Some Smartphone Salesmen Aren't Sold on the iPhone X (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have a decent bezel then need a case.

  9. Re: Free wifi... on Postcard From Pyongyang: The Airport Now Has Wi-Fi, Sort of (apnews.com) · · Score: 2

    Concentration camps are used in N Korea and other countries still have them as well. It's not really racially insensitive when they aren't used exclusively against a race. Even the Nazis put political opponents in concentrations camps.

  10. Re:Skewed article is missing frame of reference on Nintendo Delaying 64GB Game Cards For Switch Until 2019, Says Report (kotaku.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm so mad about the Kinect. I had no problem buying the system with it and it worked really well with lots of voice commands. Now, they stripped most of it away.

  11. Re:My recent airline Twitter story on The People Who Read Your Airline Tweets (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    A lot of it is call volume numbers or handled issues numbers. The quicker they pass you off the better their score is. Doesn't matter if your problem was resolved or not.

  12. Re:I use it preferentially now. on The People Who Read Your Airline Tweets (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    They could just tweet out all the time like a 24 hour news broadcast saying the same thing over and over and bringing in experts. You're basically saying, reading a news paper daily is such an experience. If you read updates from like the Iraq invasion once a day you would have had the same experience.

  13. Re:it's not really about providing service... on The People Who Read Your Airline Tweets (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    I remember when CNN ran a "you make the news" thing and it was about sending them videos and "tweets" and your own spin and such. I say "tweets" because I can't remember if twitter existed yet or if it was brand new.

  14. Re: And you can tweet directly to the President! on The People Who Read Your Airline Tweets (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    The MD State Police blocked me after I criticized their waste of man power sitting on the highway catching speeders instead of solving crimes. The government doesn't want criticism.

  15. Re: Stop it, it's annoying and disrespectful. on The People Who Read Your Airline Tweets (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    The rep asks you to Direct Message them, or provides a link to their website usually to a chat or other client service.

  16. Re:Slow to Catch on in the US? on Wearables Still Slow To Catch On in the United States (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably all knockoffs.

  17. Re:Why wearables don't sell on Wearables Still Slow To Catch On in the United States (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I had a Microsoft Band and it could do text super well when responding or sending a message by tapping on the letters.

  18. Re:How much more negative stories do we need? on 'Loapi' Cryptocurrency Mining Malware Is Causing Phone Batteries To Bulge (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1

    What you need to do is break rich people's stuff. They're hording money, and not spending it on anything.

  19. Re:None since the invention of cell phone cameras on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On UFO Sightings? · · Score: 1

    I've been in groups of people and no one pulls their phone out to record, they are caught up in the moment of whatever is going on.

  20. Halting trading on Bitcoin Futures Surge In First Day Of Trading (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Halting of trading has always seemed to me to be a scam in itself. It prevents the big drops that allow patient people to make some money.

  21. Re:Gestalt Theory? on Why Some People Can Hear Silent GIF (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    https://twitter.com/IamHappyTo... I too got the thud in my head, but didn't hear it. This twitter guy cut out the pylons, says it's all the shake.

  22. Re:Make sure your speakers are turned on on Why Some People Can Hear Silent GIF (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    https://imgur.com/gallery/7uRS... from 2011 it's title Optical illusion for the ears.

  23. Re:Never on a flip phone on Texting Is 25 Years Old (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    T9 was great, get out of here with your lies!

  24. I mean seriously, what a crock of shit. I've been phasing Google out of my life and Apple too. Good riddance.

  25. In theory a browser could easily stop supporting websites or script or whatever. Just like with Adobe and Java right?
