  1. Re:suggestion on Ask Slashdot: Best Tablet In 2015? · · Score: 1

    The Air1 is old tech and new iPads and a new iOS are going to be announced in a few days. Recommending the Air1 is just plain wrong.

    It's like Pinterest, that stupid website requires an account just to view the contents! Fuck'em, I say.

  4. Re:Slashvertising? on Brewing Better Charts and Maps · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's so obvious that I encounter the problem in maps, pie charts, categories in video games, etc.

    I guess it's not that obvious after all. Add the various degrees of color-blindness that a lot of people have and you end up with a serious issue.

    Nobody could actually be that thick.

    You don't know really religious people if you still believe that. They don't call it "blind faith" for nothing.

    If they found an acorn, they better stay away from a safe distance. There's probably a prehistoric squirrel or something nearby and believe me, he's trouble.

  7. Re:3D printed shoes? on MIT Simplifies Design Process For 3D Printing · · Score: 1

    Yes, on the first try. It's called 3D scanning. If you can't be bothered to search on your own, I can't help you. The technology does exist, today.

  8. Re:3D printed shoes? on MIT Simplifies Design Process For 3D Printing · · Score: 1

    Why would custom-printed shoes not fit you? The whole point is manufacturing customized items!

    Enough with the dot matrix printers and pen plotters. No one needs to print computerized junk.

  10. Re:3D printed shoes? on MIT Simplifies Design Process For 3D Printing · · Score: 1

    With flexible and rubbery filament you can probably do something relatively decent right now with a standard extrusion-based 3D printer.

    If you step up to something like the HP Multi Jet Fusion or Objet 3D printers, they can use a lot of different materials/composites in the same print, which could lead to products never before possible. Maybe in a few years or decades, what you call "shoes" will be viewed as prehistoric manufacturing.

    If you think your hairdryer is a turbine screaming out of control, you've never used a Dremel 395 at maximum speed.

    This really has nothing much to do with drones or technology though, and everything to do with mass and stupidity... or is it mass stupidity?

    Just an idiot teacher with a harmless drone this time.

    The newspapers are revising the title of their story: "Teacher with a mostly harmless drone."

    As Oligonicella said, it doesn't matter if the majority of men or women don't want to work in some jobs... equality, damnit!

    And you can be sure you'll keep hearing about how that 5% is not enough until it's around 50%, but nobody's going to say anything about the women majority in management, project management, testing and UI design.

  22. Re:Nukes on Citi Report: Slowing Global Warming Could Save Tens of Trillions of Dollars · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you'd stop calling them "nukes", it would help. That word is usually associated with bombing and deaths. And anyone who's pro-environment and anti-nuclear doesn't make any sense. Just because some nuclear power plants are badly designed and/or badly run doesn't mean the concept itself is flawed.

  24. Shape-shifting? on Shape-Shifting Navigation Device Points You In the Right Direction · · Score: 1

    That thing isn't "shape-shifting", we're not talking about a cube that can become a sphere here. It's a simple cube with two halves where the upper half can rotate and slide forward/backward. In the same line of thinking, a Rubik's Cube is a lot more "shape-shifting" than this thing. But in the end, both can only be "cubes".
