  1. Should have and could have. No reason was provided why the feature had to be disabled during the upgrade process. So for the lack of transparency and suspicious conditions I'm calling BS on this argument until Yahoo explains otherwise.

  2. Re: This is complete crap, and should not be possi on EU Finance Ministers Line Up Behind $21B Tax Ruling Against Apple (herald-dispatch.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple is just losing the car. Nothing more nothing less.

  3. Re: Analogue vs Digital, and DRM on Phones Without Headphone Jacks Are Here... and They're Extremely Annoying (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Ah yes but by the time people are accustomed to different headphone formats, it will be a small step to lock them down.

  4. Re: Headphone Jack is Pretty Crappy on Phones Without Headphone Jacks Are Here... and They're Extremely Annoying (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    A wired headphone doesn't require charging. It always just works. Hey wasn't there a marketing company with that slogan?

    That cheap? Surely it isn't a real monster product at that price.

  6. Re: What a dumb comparison on PC Gaming Is Still Way Too Hard (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    That what my thought exactly. This is just an Apple fanboy who makes false comparisons.

  7. Re: cost reduction on Taking the Headphone Jack Off Phones Is User-Hostile and Stupid (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    iPhone 9: you need to equip your house with proprietary 180V 200Hz iPower outlets to be able to feed the iPhone 9.

  8. I'm too lazy for MS's shenanigans. I just enable macros by default in outlook to run an auto-bcc vba script without being bothered all the time.

  9. Re: Pointless and Useless Speculation on Researchers Say The Aliens Are Silent Because They Are Extinct (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    What could alien scientists learn from us? They may have studied enough worms and other inferior species to be beyond learning much more from either a worm or our planet.

  10. Re: Somebody's getting a beating tonight on Tesla: Model X Accident Caused By Driver Error, Not Autopilot (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing that's exactly what Tesla checked. Besides I'm much more inclined to believe Tesla. Integrity and honesty are simply virtues of the past for many civilians of a sue and blame culture. Tesla has more to lose by lying.

  12. Re: I doubt it was innocent mistake on Too Fat For Facebook: Photo Banned For Depicting Body In 'Undesirable Manner' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. I'm a bit overweight too. My weight has gone up and down in my life. Nothing was as demotivating for me as when loved ones asked if i wasn't overdoing my obsession with it (at bmi 24!) or when a girlfriend said she likes a tummy (at bmi 27!). But hey if you say it's a feminist thing, they suddenly need to agree with whatever you say.

  13. Isn't that the scene where a women wants to find something within herself and the search engine bends over her and tells her not to do anything because she's not qualified?

    In some countries, robbery at gun point is such a rare thing that it actually is considered a major crime.

    A Shrinking market of computer hardware vendors, yes. But there's new hardware categories. What about the software needed for my solar panels? Or for my home automaton? Or for my electric car?

  16. Re: I smell a loophole on Documents Reveal Details of EU-US Privacy Shield Data Sharing Deal (betanews.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I heard an analysis from a Dutch lawyer on the radio. Basically it's a swiss cheese of holes. For example: as soon as someone yells "terrorist" all rules and limitations go overboard. Besides, the whole FBI vs Apple thing makes it blatantly obvious where they stand on privacy. They want everything to be inherently insecure and accessible to them.

  17. Re: Ohm at home on New Energy Efficiency Standards Take Effect This Week In the US (nrdc.org) · · Score: 1

    You're right. I believe in Ohm too ;-) Still something like 20V or say 50V dc would make wall warts much more efficient than 230V ac.

  18. Same here except i replaced an S5 with a dual sim G4. That S5 had a replaceable battery AND was waterproof. A great feat imho. I still don't understand why the S5 had mediocre sales and the S6 was considered in all the press to be a major improvement.

  19. Adobe on Ask Slashdot: Linux and the Home Recording Studio? · · Score: 1

    I use Audacity and Adobe CS6 for simple home audio editing. The Adobe software works more intuitively in my experience but i did find a tutorial to make a protoss voice in audacity so it's got that going for it ;-)

  20. Re: Who still uses pagers? on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Have a Pager? Do You Find It Useful? · · Score: 1

    Actually the coverage is pretty good most everywhere in my country except in hospitals. One big faraday cage it seems.

  21. Cities always grow / shrink based on the desires o on Why Some Cities Get All the Good Jobs (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    One era it's proximity to fresh water and food. Then it's proximity to the sea and roads. Now it's a highly educated demographic that drives the growing and shrinking of cities. Maybe in 30 years few jobs are location dependant and it's fresh air and proximity to beautiful nature that drives a city's growth.

  22. 5V can easily become the standard for most devices. But even a 12V or 19V standard would be converted up or down much more efficiently than 110 or 230V ac.

  23. Re: Who still uses pagers? on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Have a Pager? Do You Find It Useful? · · Score: 1

    Do your pagers also force you to run to a nearby phone when someone tries to call you on your pager? That's even worse and some Dutch hospitals still work that way.

  24. Re: Extra battery? on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Have a Pager? Do You Find It Useful? · · Score: 1

    Much easier still: get a phone with a replaceable battery. When you're on the go, it's pretty annoying to have your phone connected to a charger for several hours. Just pop in a new battery, boot up (1m nowadays) and you're good to go.

    Indeed. I use foxit portable. It's free, portable and i think it's open source. Frankly i don't care as long as it conforms to the portableapps.com standards
