Oh, stop being such a Grinch. This is actually kind of cool.
I've got an 82 Corvette that I'd love to convert. the cars from about 1975 To 1990 suffered greatly from loss of power due to emission controls. getting up to Tesla speed plus having some new tech to play with would be fun.
It seems there is a lot of software that automatically changes the time for you. It won't be Y2K but it will be interesting to hear what happens if everything doesn't get updated in time. It is hard enough doing meeting with people in Arizona at this time of the year but at least software like Outlook keep the times right.
Quantum physics allows us to entangle bits (really qubits) and separate them by great distances. We can create a totally secure "quantum net" that allows instantaneous communication between one set of entangled bits and another set of entangled bits.
Yeah, you physicists are going to say something about "information passing", "speed of light limits", yada, yada yada. That is fine in theory, but in practice 99% of all social media post have no real information.
"I never thought they would find me", said Waldo, after stealing 100 already activated GPS's. "People have been looking for this guy for years", said the FBI.
I'm pretty sure everyone reads the article and then comments. Thank goodness quantum mechanics doesn't happen on the macro scale. Imagine how crazy this board would be.
I think it would not have broken the Internet to use the full name of the company. Did anyone else think they bought Califonia, at least for a millisecond?
It's like being mad at something that does't exist at all.
I was just in Las Vegas where a couple Kuka Robots made all the drinks. You walk up to your table, pick you drink on an iPad, and the robot makes it. You get a message when it is ready.
Sure, it is more the novelty right now but I wouldn't be surprised if its making some people in Las Vegas nervous.
Back in the day, the increase in the number of telephone operators was so much that soon everyone would have to be a telephone operator. Technology fixed that.

For all we know, this one could theoretically be the last.
OK people, we're done here! We found the last prime! Time to shut it down! You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!
OK, that was a joke but we can still be clear. He was talking about the last perfect number. There is an infinite number of primes. That proof is pretty simple.
1. Assume there is a limited number of primes. Given the list of all the prime numbers 2. Multiply them all together and add 1.
The new number you get is can not divisible by any of the prime numbers in your list (e.g. if you divide the number by 2, you have a reminder of 1, if you divide the number by 3, you have a remainder of 1, if you divide the number by 5, you have a remainder of 1...)
So there must be at least one number not on your list which invalidates the given statement.
1. From one casino on the strip to other nearby nearly identical casinos.
It is not even this good. The monorail is all the way in the back of the casinos so it is still easier to walk. I'm in Las Vegas several times a year and the only times I found it useful was to go to the convention center for CES or SEMA. For CES 2017 that didn't even make sense with Uber/Lyft having such optimized systems and pick up places.
It's more important that companies treat their employees properly, and play on a level playing field..
Totally agree. The problem is the playing field is tilted on both sides of the argument. Pick a country or city and look up its taxi regulations. They are often tilted in favor of special interests (like large taxi cab companies).
You are right that I should be more altruistic. I'll work on that.

This is what my cat thought his name was. He refused to answer to any other name.
Wow, no up votes for this quippy thread on bacon. I guess we will all be looking at Slashdot ads this week.
I'm a bit surprised this study didn't blow up social media when it came out. I mean, bacon, cats, and the Kardashians are 90% of the interwebs.

I welcome these simultaneous-cat-petting analogies.
You are going to love the future. Quantum computing is based on having a herd of schrodinger cats... more or less.
Nah, it was clearly Canada
They are trying to get Drake!

Could someone convert that to american football fields for me? I can't do metric.

Here's a video of what I saw : https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
A popular conspiracy theory states that governments across the world have been putting fluoride in our water supply to tranquilize the masses,
I thought that was solved by television.
Or chemtrails https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The only way it works is if they can fake it long enough to get some information, and don't let anyone know about it.
Essentially, the only value to Google is if they trick people into using it.
I don't know. It might work both ways. I just need to convince the robot callers I'm human.
"Hello. This is Lenny."
I prefer tabs but the Slashdot IDE doesn't allow it. If they would finally support Unicode imagine all the great whitespaces we would have then!
446 kg/ton. Is that a metric ton, an Imperial ton, or US ton? If it is a metric ton, why not just stick to kg for 0.446 kg of carbon per kg of cement?
I guess I should be glad they didn't give the units as balloons of CO2 per playground or pencil leads per building.
See! All these advances in technology just create new jobs in new places! How many "Washer of High Tech Car" jobs were there 20 years ago? None!
Wifi Antenna Cleaner?
Robot repair?
Laser lens deduster?
3D Printer Nozzle Declogger?
I could go on. Relax you all.

Hey google, read all slashdot comments to me with a sarcastic tone.
...in you are into that.
