  9. Re:Or they'll fix it, without a new $100 billion t on Giant Trap Deployed To Catch Plastic Littering the Pacific Ocean Isn't Working (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Exactly, the real question to ask is why we expect people to succeed on the first try and don't tolerate mistakes.
    Perseverance, especially when things fail, is really the key to innovation.

    As Edison said:
    "I have not failed 10 000 times, I have successfully found 10 000 ways it will not work."

    Next time you turn on the lights, perhaps consider the number of iterations it took to make it work, and then ask the question, can we not give this guy two tries at least before we start complaining?

  10. Re:Did Musk really call it "big falcon"? on Elon Musk Renames Big Falcon Rocket To 'Starship' (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Musk has called it Big Falcon rocket on multiple occasions, but you are right, he did reference BFG in doom when initially naming it BFR.

    I kind of liked BFR, which they had stuck with it, but oh well, the name need to be commercially viable for massmarket I guess

    Very interesting, firstly because you think the malware situation is that bad on Android whilst you most likely use a computer, and secondly because you think that using antivirus would make a difference.

    Anybody stupid enough to move because of a legal vote- well, that's somebody who isn't likely going to be doing any original research anyway, just derived politically correct bullshit like climate science, string theory, and Women's Studies.

    Yea, if you live in a country where a legal vote has been held, you stay there! I mean, it's not like anyone has ever been moved to a ghetto, thrown out of the country, died, or has had any other horrible thing happen to them as a result of a legal vote... Legal votes are safe!

  16. Re: So what? on Tech Firms Let Russia Probe Software Widely Used by US Government (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Claiming the Russians got Trump elected is a cover for the clear corruption of the Clintons and the DNC.

    Putin preferred Trump over Clinton. Putin put his machine to work to help get Trump elected. So far, that's fairly agreed upon. The question is if Trump knew or not.

  17. Re:I'm not surprised on The US Drops Out of the Top 10 In Innovation Ranking (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Companies don't innovate. There's not enough money on the table to make it worth while.

    Companies do innovate, the problem is that people in general don't. I don't think there is a single company, at least in tech, that believes they will survive for 5 years with zero innovation.

  18. Hardly a problem, the model s/x is a family car, and I'm fairly certain that my wife would kill me if I told her I'm taking the kids for a spin around the race track.

    How dare the Trump Administration go through the Justice Department and obtain a warrant for information related to its political opponents? I am sorry, but that is flat out unacceptable. What they should have done is follow the morally pure example set by the Obama administration. They should have had the NSA spy on their opponents (directly or indirectly) and then used a questionable procedure of obtaining their identities via unmasking requests by people like US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley. Because, you know, their political opponents could be colluding with a foreign power. Oh, wait...

    Exactly!
    ... and if "they" did it, "we" can do it, cause two wrongs makes a right!

    Oh, wait...
