  1. Woz not knowing about what is going on in an institution under his own name reminds me of the Simpsons episode when Krusty turns up at Kamp Krusty after the kids revolt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. Re: Most people need something better on Tesla Says Its Model 3 Car Will Go On Sale On Friday (apnews.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Nope, it is 215 miles. https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/mo... It is the kilometres that is wrong, should be 346km.

  3. Surprised on Apple Begins Rejecting Apps With 'Hot Code Push' Feature (apple.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Surprised they ever allowed developers to do this? Surely in defiance of the objective of it being checked in the first place if you can just change it once approved.

  4. Re:Since they determined autopilot wasn't to blame on Tesla Avoids Recall After Autopilot Crash Death (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The closest word to a 'big rig' in the UK is an articulated lorry. Check Google Images for comparison. A delivery truck I agree in the UK we would call a lorry or delivery van although that is usually a smaller Ford Transit style.

  5. Re:Cheaper than wind? on World Energy Hits a Turning Point: Solar That's Cheaper Than Wind (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Now that's great. That's like saying you're now finally running faster than the kid in the wheelchair.

    Wake me when it gets cheaper than fossil fuel.

    Errrr reading the statement above says.... "But now unsubsidized solar is beginning to outcompete coal and natural gas on a larger scale"

  6. They should send out an email to everyone advising them not to reply.... Oh and don't reply to this one either or we might be forced to send another in a similar vain.

  7. What?! on The Most Popular Product Of All Time · · Score: 1

    Milk, bread, cheese, rice, Big Mac?

  8. Re: A car from the guy who brought us the Apple Wa on Apple's Electric Car Project To Be Led By Bob Mansfield (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Still bitter that The Apple Watch sold more units in one day than Android watches did all 2014?

    Huh?! What has that got to do with anything?!? Apple (and many others) have tried to sell a device that fails on the simple premises of being a 'watch' before any other bells and whistles. Fits nicely on the the wrist, minimal weight, battery lasts for years... Now put the simple premises of a car, addressed as badly as smart watches have been and see how badly that thing gets you from A to B.

    No thanks.

  10. Have they tried... on Study Finds Password Misuse In Hospitals Is 'Endemic' (securityledger.com) · · Score: 1

  11. This is news?! on Sue Googe Uses Google's Font To Run For US Congress (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Really?!!

  12. My point is why convert to dollars anyway? Yes include it along with the original currency of the nation where the story originates (as does the Guardian article it is linked from) but don't replace it like the US is only nation that reads Slashdot.

  13. Surely the cost should be in Euros? Or is Slashdot's target audience just in North America?

  14. Re:So how do we detect if we have it? on Cisco Finds Backdoor Installed On 12 Million PCs (securityweek.com) · · Score: 1

    The original Cisco article (http://blog.talosintel.com/2016/04/the-wizzards-of-adware.html) states that ClamAV has the signatures to recognise this threat.

  15. Office 365 support too? on Gmail For Android Gets Microsoft Exchange Support · · Score: 1

    Does it work with Office 365 accounts too?

  16. Search makes more than the Play Store then... on Europe Is Going After Google For Anti-Competitive Behavior With Android · · Score: 1

    EU has no problem with the Google Play Store being the primary method of App sales/installs then? Google must make way more from search than the Play Store sales - pretty obvious I know but still, isn't this an area the EU should also look at? Same goes for Apple IMO.

  17. "The dog ate it..." on FBI Couldn't Tell Apple What Hack It Used, Even If It Wanted To (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    ...Is next in the line of FBI excuses.

    "Yes but as I'm not a moron I never thought of the user story from your perspective..."

    I hope this was intended as a joke in poor taste.

    Wind your neck in, yes it was a joke... I only thought it, I never said it to the user in question.
