  1. Re:350 Hectares? on Massive Ukraine Munitions Blasts May Have Been Caused By a Drone (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    A country at war with a despotic tiny man, having a 350 hectares ammo dump, probably deserves to have it's ammo dump asploded. Who would store that much in one concentrated place. I bet they even painted a red target on the ground to make sure they wouldn't miss it.

  5. Any Linux FS on Ask Slashdot: Best File System For the Ages? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd go for any Linux file system because Linux is the platform that evolves the least. It's still in the 90s so in 2037 it will still be current.

    (Watch out of the hater storm! Here they come!)

    But it's kinda true if you omit the snideness of the first statement. Because it's maintained by the user base, it's less likely to "devolve" into something incompatible due to market pressure. I, myself, would go for an Apple file system but Apple isn't so keep in keeping the Mac current and it doesn't bode well for the future. There might be a great change in the horizon.

    The purchase details are still pending an investigation following the accounts leak. Most likely, the figure will go down. But by how much is TBD.

    I haven't seen any figures but regardless, she did manage to sell a worthless company for 4+ billions. That's worth a bonus.

  13. Re:Seems Impressive to me on Tesla Delivered Over 76,000 Vehicles In 2016, Falling Slightly Short of Goal (theverge.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Every negative comments in this thread about the viability of EVs and Tesla's general goal.

    Koch Brothers work hard to push out negative info and bullcrap that the dimwitted will repeat. Things like DO THE MATH while they can't calculate how much gas they actually waste every year. Plus disk brakes. Plus oil changes & filters.

    Heck. I spent only 48L of fuel in a Gen2 Volt for the entire year, saving well above 1000$ for the Canadian fillups, with about 100$ in hydroelectricity bill, just for driving 10,000kms.

    Anyone that drives 20,000kms/year or more can justify a Tesla purchase. Taxi companies are converting to EVs around here. Lookup Teo Taxi. They have a Uber style app and have an entirely EV fleet.

    Surely someone knows how to do math. Just not the fncking ACs here and the other twats.

    Safari runs a web page as it's own process for security reasons.

  15. Re:Customers, you had one job! /s on Ubuntu Survey Discovers 'Consumers Are Terrible' About Updating Their IoT Devices (ubuntu.com) · · Score: 2

    If you have to spend your time upgrading all your IoT devices, it becomes a chore that is a turn-off for people. Not just their lighting system.

    Since before IoT was a thing, my house was rigged with 3 AirPort Express and TV. The TV updates itself (it's essentially just a dumbed-down iPhone) most of the times but the AirPort Express stations (service sound system and network extenders for legacy hardware without WiFi) are always a pain to deal with. One of them, currently flashing yellow, probably has a pending update (it's still on my net so there's no issue there). But I can't bring myself to deal with it. F-it. It's only serving a photo screensaver on a Luxo Mac anyway.

    Yeah seriously. Musk Oil, anyone?

    Look, Tesla might look like it has a serious contender to automagically drive you onto the crossing semi truck but that's just LARPing to the real thing.

    So much as I hate Google, they have the only system which I'd trust: lidar vision. THAT makes it viable. Not dinky cameras all around the car that fail once it loosed the lines on the ground.

  18. No need to hack elections when 46% of the electorate does't participate.

  23. Montreal's PopNet on Re-Discovering The 'Lost Civilization' of Dial-Up BBS's (ieee.org) · · Score: 2

    PopNet is where I took my alias from, in the late 80s. I actually had a CompuServe account but dang, that was useless for the most part. PopNet is where I spent much of my time. PopNet used your first name initials and last name to coin up a user name. I used Mouse UseR because I wanted to buy a Mac in those times (I was still under Apple //e) and because Muser was already taken, system added an initial and ended up with MouseR. Capitalisation on the trailing R, I dont remember if it was just for visual design or an accident. At the time my english wasn't good enough to know that "mouser" was a mouse-chasing cat.

    Anyhow, my zircon.net dialo-up provider user name ended up being mouser@* and my PopNet account was MouseR.

    PopNet was hooked up on FidoNet and usually synced in the night There was a great community and great games too. Fond memories.
