    Note to self: bring earplugs for the next eclipse.

  2. Re:Hopkinsville, KY on Ask Slashdot: How Did You Experience The Solar Eclipse? · · Score: 1

    I thought Google is supposed to give you the quickest path. Quite often I'll hear the Google Map app tell me "You're on the fastest route".

  3. What's wrong with all these weather companies? on Wading Through AccuWeather's Response (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    Weather.com has the worst web site ever - they even put tabloid companies to shame.

    for some of their own products. I once tried to return an inflatable travel pillow but they let me keep it (presumably since you have to use your mouth to inflate it). I also tried to return a surge protector that was marked hazardous for some reason (it was just a regular surge protector) and had a plug cover on the wrong way - they let me keep it and also sent me a free replacement.

  15. Re:For once use the microsoft shit on Ask Slashdot: Should Average Consumers Install More Than One Antivirus Program On Their System? · · Score: 1

    I'd rather run a realtime in-memory scanner that has a chance to catch something before it infects my system, instead of running an on-demand scanner that is guaranteed to catch something after it's infected my system.

  16. Camera makers' stocks going to drop on Travelers' Electronics At US Airports To Get Enhanced Screening, TSA Says (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I was about to buy a camera, but after hearing this news, forget it. Those bins are dirty as shit. What if the previous bin user had stepped in dog shit and put his shoes in your bin? Then you put your camera in there and now your camera has dog shit on it.

    I actually joined Prime today, and some of the items I ordered gave me the "free same day shipping" option, so I selected that. Later I received an email saying the items would actually be delivered tomorrow. No such guarantee there.

    The ransomware writers allowed them to pay the rest later, so they had to tell the ransomware to postpone the deletion of files.
