  1. If that asteroid is as big as that and accessible it may be the most valuable mining site in the world.

  2. Not Apple, but likely Amazon on Microsoft Could Be First Tech Company To Reach Trillion-Dollar Market Value: Analyst (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    I've been using Apple products since 2004 and with the neutering of the pro lines I'm not looking forward to another Apple purchase. Fanboyism only will get them so far and they don't have another Steve Jobs

    Amazon could hit this easily with a dominant market position.

  3. The entire premise of most religions and an afterlife would make sense in a simulation where those who pass the test arise in the real world or a new simulation.

    Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

  4. NTSB will now investigate on Replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Phone Catches Fire on Southwest Plane (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Samsung won't be able to confiscate and hide the phone now. It will go straight to the NTSB.

  6. Old account. Got alert login from new device then password changed twice. They changed it back to the original. New password and turned on SMS auth so it won't happen again. Sucks it was an old account before I had started using random passwords per site so had to go through every site I use and verify it was not that password. Thankfully I use a password manager that makes that easy. Can't be lazy about passwords anymore.

    Europeans money is worth more

    We have been fucked and we argue that the government is screwed up. We screwed up when we let corporations destroy our government.

  9. They will get their money no matter what on AT&T Begins Capping Broadband Users (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    If you notice, paying the unlimited fee raises the broadband costs beyond the TV costs in most cases. So you can cut the cord all you want, they'll maintain their profit per customer regardless.

  10. Re: I for one... on Report: Comcast In Talks To Buy DreamWorks For $3 Billion (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Without banning exclusives you get a fragmented library and have to subscribe to multiple services and end up paying more. The rich Wall Street fat cat invests in both as well and makes twice the money but wait there's more! He buys tax breaks from congress for those multiple companies so you have to pay higher taxes to make up for it. Costing you more.

  11. It's called drag. Gravity of the black hole pulls on the nearest matter and that matter pulls on the matter nearest to it. If black holes are moving dark matter as well then that's all the mass you need to move the rest of a galaxy.

  12. Oh so emission standards is obamas fault? i don't recall him passing any. the last fleet economy standard update was likely under Bush. Oh and it's updated by congress not the president.

  13. Don't trust for profits on Slashdot Asks: Do You Support Nuclear Energy? (gallup.com) · · Score: 1

    A for profit has one motive and that's profit at any cost. If they think they can make a profit by cutting safety to the bone regardless of meltdown risk they will. There are meltdown proof designs yet we can't get them built to replace our current time bombs and worse what did get approved recently was an old design.

    I'm also against calling it nuclear power. It's just another form of geothermal power. Wake me when we turn nuclear interactions directly into usable power not steam.

  14. Yes Please on Peter Jackson and JJ Abrams 'Back' Sean Parker's Screening Room (variety.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have a 4K HDR Dolby Atmos dedicated theater in my basement. Sure a 100 foot screen is great and all, but I have better sound and video on my 133" screen than any theater within a 18 hour drive. I would gladly pay that fee, it would be cheaper than me and my wife going because of the cost of a sitter.

  15. So you're saying someone was level with the plane on the runway right? Cause either planes have windows in the floor or they take off upside down now. I just done see how a plane at a 45 degree angle or higher at takeoff gets a laser shot through the pilots window.

  17. Re:"just a century"? on Comets Can't Explain Weird 'Alien Megastructure' Star After All (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    If they are capable of constructing such a structure, they've obviously mastered the process of turning energy into matter. Planets are not enough to build what's required to create a structure of this size. First 8 light minutes away means you're talking orders of magnitude larger surface area than the star itself just for our star. The first 4 planets don't have enough metals to construct a basic shell big enough to create something to dim our star by 20%.

    The most difficult part is to ensure the parts remain in place. The simplest way is thrusters, there you have a system that would be converting the solar output at 100% efficiency to eliminate the pressure, or providing a thruster for counter balance. It would make sense to start as a ring around the star and keep growing it equally towards the poles. Which if the light has steadily been decreasing, that makes perfect sense as the growth of the surface are of the sphere grows so should the dimming of the star happen.

    I'd love to know how they deal with CME's.

    Another alternative is a floating artificial planet that can move between systems that just drains the star of it's hydrogen and they convert that into what they need and/or they use that process as part of building the dyson sphere so when it's complete they have a dwarf type star left inside that's tame enough for them to deal with.

    Latest gen is 2k not 4k while it's clear the competition and the market are releasing 4k units. That it can not store local movies as well is annoying. How many of us have kids who watch the same thing over and over and we watch our caps die a quick death?
    Seems like they feature froze it in 2012.

    That first year your kid is likely to catch all kinds of colds especially as you introduce them to daycare or their older siblings bring back crap from school. I think all of us parents would of loved the ability to be able to either work from home with the sick child or be able to take those days off without loss of income.

    Shotgun shot is harmless when falling out of the sky after distance takes the speed down. I've been rained on by shot duck hunting from guns across a lake.

    Were talking 12+ guage and not buckshot people. The small stuff just gets slowed down too much to do any real damage after a few hundred yards. Might get in your eye though that would suck.

  25. Supports Stateless Autoconfiguration on IT Pros Blast Google Over Android's Refusal To Play Nice With IPv6 · · Score: 1

    I would suspect that stateless Auto configuration works on the phones. As long as it was passed along by the routers it would work just fine.

    However that being said ARIN is at 0.07% left of IPv4 space as of a few days ago and likely less after this week. Estimates in July the ARIN free pool will be empty and you'll be leasing IPv4 ip's for a lot more and not own your IP's for quite awhile so it is in everyone's interests to push adoption of IPv6. Google's decision to make sure the phones are compatible as much as possible shoots this into the foot.

    However Verizon and AT&T and others are not getting more IPv4 ip's so they'll make sure IPv6 works on the phones.
