All the $ savings in the world won't help you when every news organization in the country is frantically sticking a mic in your face asking you what you should have done differently to prevent the death of several astronauts.
I'm just glad that science finally found a way to help one of nature's most annoying pests live 30% longer. Now if only they can prolong Justin Bieber's career, I'll be happy.
I think they were right to go with a larger phone. Let's face it, times have changed. And a lot of people (myself included) really like the idea of a 5.5" phone. My large fingers make a larger screen a godsend, and it's a lot easier on the eyes.
The thing that disappoints me is the way they've done charging. When I heard "inductive charging" I thought they mean like a Qi or electric toothbrush at least. And I really like that idea. Just toss your watch down on a pad at night and pick it up the next morning. But reading more about it, it looks like the charger will actual be attached by a cable with a magnetic connector at the end. So you'll get all the energy inefficiency of inductive charging and all the inconvenience and connector wear-and-tear of standard cable charging--the worst of both worlds.
So if we have *don't* have a drought or heat wave in Texas this year, you'll be cool with this being treated as evidence against global warming in an article?
Or, do you only accept evidence that *supports* your cause, and reject all the rest?
My college still teaches COBOL, requiring two semesters of it. But I'm not sure if this is because they illegitimately believe it's still useful or just because of old habit (and to keep the guy teaching it employed).
If climate != weather, then why is there always some global warming advocate on the news attributing every hurricane, tornado, drought, and heat wave to global warming? It seems to me that a more accurate representation of what I'm seeing on the news would be:
If weather = unusually-warm OR chaotic
Then climate = weather If weather = unusually-cold OR mild
Then climate != weather
Of course, I'm sure you're going to throw some "no true Scotsman" and say that those environmental advocates on the news aren't the REAL scientists. But if that's the case, then why aren't the REAL scientists shouting down all the fake ones?
While fracking water can't be reused as drinking water, there is some evidence that it can be recycled for other purposes, and may not be nearly as contaminated as previously thought.
Having something with a small risk of environmental damage is a helluva lot better than having nothing at all. It's all-to-easy for those of us who are well employed and living outside of these areas to forget that.
The only time I've ever had a problem opening anything in Office from someone else (regardless of version) was when the person sending it uses a non-standard font. Office doesn't embed them by default. So that's the only reason I ever ask for a pdf. But unless LibreOffice or OpenOffice embed non-standard fonts by default, they aren't going to help with that.
I would worry less about global warming and more about the ignorant descendents of those once great Egyptians, who are today practicing a religion that could very well lead them to one day soon decide to demolish these relics because their 6th-century child-molesting prophet said they were idolatrous.

The U.S. embargo against Cuba is Russian propaganda??
Thanks Obama

Or tell the Pentagon that it can be used to kill Muslims.

They don't want anyone texting out to warn people not to come to Long Island.
I thought Apple was administering both.
You need to take off your rose-colored glasses when reading.
In all fairness, this is /. We rag on EVERYONE.

After all, you trusted us with your nude photos.
I think the title "How Climate Change Exacerbated the Drought" would beg to differ.

top getting your news from shitty sources. On NPR news, this doesn't happen.
You mean this NPR?:

How DARE you make a reasonable and intelligent comment?!? This is Slashdot, sir!

I'm pretty sure most common laborers in these areas lost their houses a long time ago.

They should teach these people how to install linux on their home computers too.
Which distro?

In Georgia in the summer?? Yeah, have fun with that.
