  1. "Fixing" an accurate statement by making it inaccurate. Yup, clearly Trump is the right candidate for you.

  2. Usually rear ending somebody at a traffic light is not from a distracted driver. It's just the opposite. The driver realizes the light is about to change and accelerates, but not expecting the lead vehicle to stop.

    You are clearly tailgating or fixated on getting through the light without paying attention to the car in front of you if this happens. There's no excuse for accelerating into a car that's being overly cautious at a yellow light.

  3. What the hell do you do in your car? I can assure you it's not what most people do.

    I've used Car2Go a fair number of times, and the cars have always been clean. Whenever you get in the car you are asked about the cars state, if it's not good the car will be serviced.

  4. The new service would not really be like Uber as it is now. It would be more like a Uber/Car2Go hybrid.

  5. The thing people tend to overlook is that the computer doesn't have to be perfect in these very rare situations where there are no great options. They just need to react as well or better than humans. Most humans don't have the time to think through their options at all and end up just swerving randomly to avoid the most obvious hazard. It's really not that hard to imagine a computer doing better than that. At the very least it will never swerve into another vehicle it wasn't aware of.

  6. I support Sanders, but I won't vote for Clinton. If you think that all of Sanders' supporters are going to switch to Hillary if she gets the Democratic nomination then you're wrong. I would rather see Sanders run as an independent in the general election...

    You need to reconsider. Sanders running as an independant would only result in President Trump. Bernie knows that he's not controlled by his ego so he will not run as an independent, but Democrats can't just sit out the election and hand it over to the Republicans if they don't get the candidate they like.

  7. Trump is at least as unelectable as Bernie. He has about 30% of the Republican party and I don't see him getting much more support than that with the negatives he's getting in the polls. There are a few people who love him and the rest hate him.

  8. Re: Should have cleaned the data... on Bernie Sanders Campaign Blocked From DNC Voter Info After Improper Access (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    If by steal you mean take in tax revenue, it would be the blue states we get the money from. Same as now.

  9. Re:Ha ha on Why Won't T-Mobile Let Us Binge On All Of It? · · Score: 1

    Yup, and also it doesn't account for that fact that we often have lousy network access even in cities which are much smaller than states.

  10. Re:less popular than segway on CA DMV Releases Draft Requirements For Autonomous Vehicles On Public Streets · · Score: 1

    Who likes driving ourselves around? There's pretty much nothing I like less than staring at yellow stripes and break lights for however long while trying to get somewhere.

  11. Re:Seems good for stuff still in testing and 3 yea on CA DMV Releases Draft Requirements For Autonomous Vehicles On Public Streets · · Score: 1

    Google said they'd assume liability as well.

  12. They can just pass a law that says all computers are now quantum computers. Problem solved.

  13. Re:Lost opportunity to set themselves apart. on TAG Heuer Increasing Weekly Production To Meet Demand For Its Smartwatch (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    What about when your desired function is reading messages, and you've got two big, useless hands in the way.

  14. Because watchmaking is the Swiss watchmakers expertise, something that has almost nothing to do with smartwatch making.

    Obviously. Why on earth did you feel the need to clarify that??

    Yeah, I would really like to hear more about this women's experience of feeling pain for the first time. How would she react to that? How long before she said that's great, now shut it off please.

  17. Re: Probably too strong on Graphene Shows Promise For Super Strong Dental Fillings (elsevier.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you're eating ice cream and hot coffee that's a 200F range, although the exposure times aren't very long, so no idea how much the teeth heat and cool by.

    I think he's saying that hanging him would have been the crime.

    The party is intellectually bankrupt. Who do they have that would both be a better president and could survive the primaries?

    The Republican base are filled with idiots. But the Republican party leadership certainly don't like him, they just can't do anything about it.

    Him and Reagan would both be unelectable liberals in the modern republican party.

    I know how cool it must make you feel to act all above politics and say there's no difference between the two major parties, but that's just wrong. Any honest, intelligent look at our government will tell you one party has a much bigger problem with antiintellectualism and antidemocratic policies.

    Unfortunately our Republican's wouldn't do anything that would jeopardise an election.

    America does not consist of two continents. There are two continents, North America and South America and the people who reside on them are North and South Americans. America by itself doues not refer to a continent.

  25. Re:Can't Carbon be nuclear? on Peter Thiel: We Need a New Atomic Age · · Score: 1

    What is an alpha particle? It's a helium nucleus. So you are saying to fuse a helium nucleus with a carbon nucleus to create an oxygen nucleus. What does that sound like to you?
