  1. so, unionize, and get a contract on More Than Ever, Employees Want a Say in How Their Companies Are Run (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    then you get a chance at the table.

  2. ahh, Phoenix rising from the ashes on Galaxy Note 7 Is Not Dead, Samsung Says It Will Sell Refurbished Units (samsung.com) · · Score: 1

    in a cloud of flames. I hope they used a slightly smaller battery, so it has room to grow, not to glow.

  3. but they haven't shut off Trump yet on Twitter Suspended Hundreds of Thousands of Accounts Amid 'Violent Extremism' (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    so it's all bogus.

  4. not true. collecting your data for ads is hot on After Years Waiting For Google Fiber, KC Residents Get Cancellation Emails (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    and that is, was, and never will be a beta product for the Google folk.

  5. this is why you need descriptions, idiots at MS on Microsoft Admits Mistake, Pulls Problematic Windows 10 Driver (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    stealth fubars do not help your market competitiveness, you dips. everybody else has figured it out. why not you?

  6. nope on Ask Slashdot: Should You Use Password Managers? · · Score: 1

    single point of failure, not controlled by the user. now a looseleaf binder in the bottom of a drawer, that's fully controllable. unless theire's a fire, which would also destroy a password manager on the hard drive.

  7. they also stole their name on Website Builder Wix Acquires Art Community DeviantArt For $36 Million (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    there is a long-time builder of vehicle and industrial filters called, of course, WIX. I am and remain shocked they have not filed a trademark case.

  8. don't know a business? don't buy it. on Delays, Confusion as Toshiba Reports $6 Billion Nuclear Hit and Slides To Loss (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    appears there was horrid due diligence all the way down the line when Toshiba decided to go for the Westinghouse nuke business as Westinghouse shed its skin to become CBS. and then one bad addition after another. shame.

  9. that's 1/4-inch headphone jack to you, sir on Apple's Ultra Accessory Connector Dashes Any Hopes of a USB-C iPhone (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    that's how it was invented, that's what it is. not a 6.35 mm connector. so there!

    correcting mistakes on The Connected Internet, that's hard work.

  10. meanwhile, LG and Panasonic can't keep up on Next-Gen Samsung EV Battery Gets 300+ Miles of Range From 20-Minute Charge (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    can't keep up with demand, that is. they keep expanding and expanding their plants. and doing so here in the good ol' USA, at least for final assembly.

  11. they better offer monthly upgrades on LG Threatens To Put Wi-Fi in Every Appliance it Introduces in 2017 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    on account of Internet of Hacked. if I had one, I'd block it at the router.

  12. probably like the one I saw by the air base on Chile's Goverment Announces Unexplainable 'UFO' Footage (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    foggy night, late night, driving into the city and past the SAC air base on a federal highway. a bluish smear pacing my car, a little ahead, overhead to the left. occasionally blinking regularly. just like a reflection of my headlights onto some new aluminum high-tension wires between the wooden poles.. in fact, exactly that.

    sun reflecting off a helicopter would look just like described....

  13. the BSOD, GSOD, and RCOD teams will be combined so all devices will call you to eternal bliss with the White Bright Light.

  14. well, for one thing, I have one useful eye... on Ask Slashdot: Why Did 3D TVs and Stereoscopic 3D Television Broadcasting Fail? · · Score: 1

    and not about to spend $3-4 grand per viewing station and dump what equipment I have.

  15. yeah, tax break if they hit Venus instead on White House Releases Strategy To Defend Against Killer Asteroids (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    and a heckuva yuuuge border tax if they hit here. that'll fix it!

  16. it's a phone! a mini-tablet! survival lighter! on Samsung To Reveal This Month What Caused the Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone To Catch Fire - Report (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    only problem is, they didn't put the "light forest on fire as signal" command in the manual. next time....

  17. there have been magnetic earrings on the market for years.

  18. nah, can't happen, don't see it on HGTV on Seattle Region Home To 10 of Nation's 30 Most Competitive Neighborhoods For House Hunters (geekwire.com) · · Score: 2

    begone, fake news

  19. not a rejection, a redirection on Android Ransomware Infects LG Smart TV, Company 'Refuses' To Help (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    but after the factory guys pull the lithium cell, or hook it to a tesla coil, or replace a module, or whatever to hard-reset the set, it's still vulnerable.

    "Smart TV" is bogus. never hook an ethernet cable to one. use a Roku or Chromecast or something else cheap, easily replaceable, and disposeable if you feel the need for direct streaming.

  20. thinning the weak from the gene pool on Humans Marrying Robots? Experts Say It's Really Coming (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    which might be a good thing

  21. the Brian Wilson autobiography on What's the Best Book You Read This Year? · · Score: 1

    train-of-thought, but a good book

  22. very large boilers create steam this hot. on Iceland Seeking 'Supercritical Steam' For Power Source (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    typically used for industrial processes, but one local example may be the area hospital laundry facility, where they typically run in the 2500-2700 degree range at the boiler.

  23. so who originated this venerable function, anyway? on David Pogue Calls Out 18 Sites For Failing His Space-Bar Scrolling Test (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    I remember this action on a CDC Cyber editor, and on a DEC VMS editor back in the early 80s. but where did this useful function really come from ?

  24. hey, foreign spooks... just buy a paper, OK? on Google Sends State-Sponsored Hack Warnings To Journalists and Professors (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    or subscribe online if you can't get out of Mommy's basement any more.

  25. stupid DA, encryption is for everybody on New York's District Attorney: Roll Back Apple's iPhone Encryption (mashable.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    if it isn't flatfoots exceeding their warrant authority, it's thieves and hackers. out in user land, we can't tell the difference. so encryption is getting better, and the world is better off for it.
