  2. Re: With spinning disks, you do not know either on Why I'm Usually Unnerved When Modern SSDs Die on Us (utoronto.ca) · · Score: 1

    Guy grew up playing Minecraft. If he had only played Lego instead...

  3. My bad. Sincere apologies. Any way to repair the damage?

  4. It's possible. But is it only that? Can't it also be boosted by other agents? Couldn't it be like with Black lives matter: the Russians spot a legitimate wedge issue and flare up the internet using it, with real life destabilizing consequences...? Check out this explanation here. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/1...

  5. And while they do that, their platform is being used by Russian trolls to fire up civil war in France..

  6. Did you guys read the actual paper? It mentions no Coulomb law-type interactions whatsoever. "A unifying theory" without electomagnetism - so aggrav(it)ating!

  7. Re: I don't recall this in the EULA on Google Has a Plan To Eliminate Mosquitoes Around the World (bloombergquint.com) · · Score: 1

    Either that, or (most likely) the law of unintended consequences will strike again in yet another huge environmental disaster. I wouldn't put my name on this one if I were Google.

  8. Re: Verily I say unto you on Alphabet Unit Halts Glucose-Detecting Contact Lens Project (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Problem is the public doesn't think of Google as an ordinary agglomeration of human beings anymore...

  9. Re:Most bang for the buck ever poll on Science is Getting Less Bang for Its Buck (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Gravity is pretty simple. Big thing pulls little things closer. To escape and defeat it, there needs to be an equal and oppose about of force or energy applied.

    Actually, Einstein already disproved this.

  10. Notwithstanding whatever you think about the report's credibility, the George Soros Foundation took it seriously, it seems. https://gizmodo.com/george-sor...

  11. Re: Orange Man Bad on Nasty Adobe Bug Deleted $250,000 Worth of Man's Files, Lawsuit Claims (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    I wonder how this person will prove the previous existence of the files.

  12. Re: I heard the GAYpk signal... GAYpk on Amazon Is Getting More Than $2 Billion For NYC, Virginia Expansions (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's just an expansion of Amazon's defense and high speed trading branches, guys, calm down, it's normal.

  13. Re: It just dosen't have the fad of the month on Ask Slashdot: How To Fix an Outdated College Tech Curriculum? · · Score: 2

    Maybe one idea would be to focus on the math (algorithms, combinatorics, etc.) rather than on specific technologies, and perhaps engage the students to improve their quality by either encouraging participation in competitions (like the ACM's) or creating a little in-house business incubator.

  14. The European thing should be nuanced: the union's mandate would end, but individual nations could still decide to continue changing to DST.

  15. Re: If this is a vulnerability; my programs have on Trivial Bug In X.Org Server Gives Root Permissions On Linux, BSD Systems (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Skynet becomes self-aware at 02:14 am Eastern Time after its activation on August 4, 1997 and spends the rest of eternity pitting arguments for and against the X server/client terminology.

  16. I don't get the reference. Can you please explain? Thanks!

  17. This is already feasible with 4G, right? on With 5G, You Won't Just Be Watching Video. It'll Be Watching You, Too (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    How is this so different from the capabilities of current spy apps?

  18. Good solution. Congrats, good Samaritan, for helping Trump's cause for no gain apart from a small ego boost. Next post on /. will probably read, "Wall too expensive to build, requires engineering breakthrough, internal emails show"...

  19. Re: Shouldn't be a problem on White House Wants To Borrow Tech Workers From Google and Amazon, Says Report (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I actually thought the White House wanted to create jobs..

  20. Sounds like they are semi accurate on Intel Says They Aren't Abandoning 10nm Chips, Despite Report Saying They're Canceled (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    For real, semi accurate. I guess they warned us...

  21. Re: Why even adopt it on SQLite Adopts 'Monastic' Code of Conduct (sqlite.org) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think this is a very fine joke and people should be proud of whoever created it.

  22. Sample bias on One of the World's Largest Organisms is Shrinking (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    The two largest organisms in the world turn out to be in the US? Sounds like sample bias to me.

  23. The GSM protocol includes a broadcasting feature that overrides all other transmissions in order to deliver emergency messages to all cellphones simultaneously. Why then the delays?

  24. The model has three parts, with the last one being the stuff unaccounted for by the first two. Let's add hype by labeling it "anthropocentric".
