  1. Re:How do you take a turn? on China Builds 'Elevated Bus' That Drives Over Cars (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 0

    In the mock-up video they released, the traffic lights on the leading edge showed it preventing anyone from entering before it went over an intersection, but also any traffic that was already inside released before it moved off. Quite a nifty way of handling it I think.

  2. Re:Windows Store App Netflix doing 1080p just fine on Microsoft: Only Microsoft Edge Will Play Netflix Content At 1080p On Your PC (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    As it's written by Netflix themselves, probably not. It appears to be the same as the pre-Edge Netflix app.

  3. Are they sure... on New Dwarf Planet Discovered In Outer Solar System (seeker.com) · · Score: 1

    that they're not just looking at Pluto?

  4. Re:Repeat of a January post! on Hackers Can Use Smart Watch Movements To Reveal A Wearer's ATM PIN (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    THANK YOU! I thought I was going insane then...

  5. Prior Art? on Pod Planes Could Change Travel Forever (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    This looks like a stealth bomber with bomb shaped passenger pods.

  6. Re:No need on Pod Planes Could Change Travel Forever (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    Forget Hyperloop! In several years, Elon will have perfected RAAS (Rocket as a service, if you will), and we'll be able to call them from our Hololens', and have them arrive like Ubers'!

  7. Re:Goodbye Subscription Windows..... on 'UpgradeSubscription.exe' File In Preview Build Hints At Windows 10 Subscriptions (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    You've also got to be very particular about the components you buy.

  8. Modified maybe, but certainly not new...

    Civ V has been around for years, with Civ:BE coming after, and now Civ VI is around the corner. New makes it sound like they're giving away Civ VI at a cut price...

  9. I had something for this...

    Errrr..... ending the world?

  10. Hell, even Dell took bitcoin for a while there...

  11. Re:NEW IS BAD on Bigger Isn't Better As Mega-Ships Get Too Big and Too Risky · · Score: 1

    Also, at what point do boats become ships? Because if all bots are ships, but not all ships are boats, surely their figures on who actually wants what are skewed?

  12. Re:Lemee get this straight... on Amazon Faces $350K Fine For Shipping 'Amazing Liquid Fire' (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Strictly speaking, the net result of drinking any liquid is the same.

  13. Well, yes.

  14. Re:unverisal labels on Four Newly Discovered Elements Receive Names (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    No, we give things names in "universal" languages. What language would you have people use? English? Japanese? Chinese? Russian? Other?

    Unicode?

  15. A large proportion of British (I'm speaking as one, so cool yo' jets) people have the "I'm not doing anything wrong, so I don't care if they look at my stuff" mindset, which is the worst possible mindset to have, as they screw everybody over. It's incredibly frustrating, and makes me want to leave this country as soon as I'm able.

  16. Pokemon on Steam? on Nintendo May Start Selling 'Computer Software' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Fuck. Yeah.

  17. Whilst understandable, (I don't want people trying to sell things outside my house), destroying stuff is a bit of a dick move.

    Full disclosure, I haven't read the article yet.

  18. Re:Not in the US, though. on All Belgians To Be Given Iodine Pills In Case Of Nuclear Accident (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Prime One Hour? Prime Same Day? Prime Next Day? Non-Prime Next Day?

    After all, if you're worried about radiation, expense is moot, no?

  19. It'd be quite nice if NX turned out to be a project to port games to other platforms. Am I going to buy a Wii U? Hell no. Would I buy Splatoon/Super Mario on Steam? Hell yes.

  20. British Airways Drone Strikes on Jet Strikes Drone Near Heathrow Airport (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    No charge for extra luggage. And don't forget, you can always upgrade to first class to have your payload delivered with a smile.
