  1. Why is the question "Can"? on Can Streaming Companies Replace Hollywood Studios? (vanityfair.com) · · Score: 1

    Jeremy Clarkson famously ended his Top Gear BBC career by punching a staff member. Amazon snapped him up and The Grand Tour Replaced it.And because the they aren't held down by craptastic rules about empowerment, cultimultcheralism, and being politically correct have created an even better show to watch.

    So Yes, Hollyweird has to restructure and re purpose because they are going to lose a lot of eyes because it makes more sense to spend less and get more.

  2. Hmmm on Studios Push for $50 Early Home Movie Rentals (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    50 bucks to watch it or be patient and get the cd/dvd for a buck or two?

    On a side note, just watched the 1.00 blu ray of transformers 4 tonight.

    I'm going to follow that up with 5 dollars of 65 hours of "get Smart".

    Pawn shops are awesome.

  3. Umm. No.

    In the thread you will note that the manufacturers are being held liable for a new technology called "AUTOPILOT". This does not exist on older vehicles.

    Your post is intellectually dishonest - or you are incapable of reading/comprehending.

  4. So after many people are murdered, at some point they should be let off the hook because it occasionally kills people?

  5. And they should absolutely require a training class for vehicles that have "auto-pilot" .

  6. And they aren't being held liable. Nor is there legislation in the works to hold them liable.

    Thank you for being brilliant and illustrating why this law makes sense.

  7. Re:Suing the governments for interfering in my lif on Self-Driving Cars Should Be Liable For Accidents, Not the Passengers: UK Government (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I absolutely want the government interfering with a manufacturer that wants to risk my life so someone can text on their phone. There's even a precedent for it - you do own a drivers license?

  8. What do you mean "initially".

    Car makers are selling Autopilot knowing full well that the people behind the wheel will be texting/surfing on their phones or in car entertainment systems.

    If the system they sell can't drive on black ice, or in a major snow storm and gets into an accident - the company should be held 100 % liable.

    No EULA's and No "Sign this giving up your right" - the ONUS is on them - And if the SYSTEM isn't ready for a car that will be on on the road for 50 years or more (as some cool cars are www.volocars.com ) and working well - then perhaps they might rethink advertising it as "AutoPilot".

  9. Re:Nothing to worry about on Microsoft Research Developing An AI To Put Coders Out of a Job (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 2

    *this*

    I've tries to use their service with a timer code - all iterations - and it just doesn't work

    If their "AI" is drawing on their "code Base" people will be asking for refunds.

  10. Re:This is an OS on EU Privacy Watchdogs Say Windows 10 Settings Still Raise Concerns (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Wish i had mod points but yes. Google keeps "updating" tools that require the latest browser so "older" browsers get phased out. Then they jump in bed with the makers of the browsers to whittle away your ability to stop being tracked or defend against seeing ads.

    +1 insightful for you.

  11. Re:Get to the point... on Scientists Use Stem Cells To Grow Animal-Free Pork In a Lab (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Take a look at what happens with a child's personality/intelligence if you let it grow up in a closed, single room, with very few mental stimuli, rigorous routine and only the bare minimum to stay alive.

    Ahh, so the pork meat will be a democrat!

    Wow, and here I didn't think I was the only one reading before registering!

    You are NONAwesome for correcting me!

  13. Thank you BeauHD for more proof on How Algorithms May Affect You (phys.org) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm hoping everyone on Slashdot posting here understands what an algorithm actually is.

    My guess is they don't, because BeauHD obviously doesn't in his rush to slam trumpet.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    To put in layman terms - everything automated takes parameters and creates a result. It's because people make a sorta flowchart that draws on information and slam bam Kazam - outputs a result.

    Which is now evil because of Trump.

    Whipslash, please, I'm begging.

    Tell him to stop shifting the site to SJW and EnviroNazi!

    And Yet I was here way before you and saw a much different /.

  15. Re:Whipslash? A suggestion? on Michael Flynn Resigns As Trump's National Security Adviser (go.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The topic has nothing to do with technology, and isn't news for nerds, but it does empower you.

    QED.

    Slashdot is supposed to be a tech site. Can you please Stop BeauHD from continuing to transform the site into a tree hugging left wing haven with the incessant SJW and Environazi article fwapping?

  17. Re:We already have mass surveilance on Face Recognition + Mandatory Police Body Cameras = Mass Surveillance? (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 1

    Dunno, I made a lot of money at a casino. I was the boxman on a craps table for five years.

  18. Re:Radiation wrecks robots? on Excessive Radiation Inside Fukushima Fries Clean-Up Robot (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    They need to go old school and replace the tech fancy robot with a remote using hydraulics to make it move, and a mirror /periscope system to see what it sees. Fiber optic perhaps? You can manipulate the valves with cabling to avoid using anything electric.

  19. Re:In my experience on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Know a Developer is Doing a Good Job? · · Score: 1

    That's assuming that you are the only coder. If 15 programmers are relatively bug free, and you are outputting half of what the other 14 are doing, Well, that's another metric you can use.

  20. In my experience on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Know a Developer is Doing a Good Job? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Judge them on bugs. If they are constantly trying to fix their code then you have a metric on when to seek a better one.

  25. Re:Why do they care? on Nvidia Stops Promotional Game Resales By Tying Codes To Hardware (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because they are looking to see how the card performs on your system with a known set of Hardware and software Parameters.

    They want to get user data from your system to see how the card is working, as well as seeing how long you play and how you play that game. It's valuable to them, but if you give that game away, they don't get that data.
