  1. Re:Want to know why it bugs you? on 'Two Years Later, I Still Miss the Headphone Port' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I think there is literally no benefit to the consumer of such a move. I really miss the headphone and have updated to an old iPhone with headphone jack because of that.

  2. Congrats to the original team for these 20 years! on 20 Years of Stuff That Matters · · Score: 1

    I have been doing this for 20 years! Loading the /. website, how cool is that? Thanks CmdrTaco! I loved the pool question too, for example the one that asked how do you prefer to install the toilet paper, with the feed on top or bellow? Priceless! Will try to search for my earlier screenshot, but I lost my original Linux desktop after running a defrag for ext2, my worst idea ever, hit ctrl+c and lost everything. The author said, sorry about that, didn't think about writing a callback for ctrl+c ...

  3. Tesla is a big factory and 100 or 200 people are below the average injuries, so you can say Tesla is one of the safest factory out there to work for. Again, nice try on FUD

  4. Re:Welcome to 2014 on Google Voice Receives First Update in Five Years (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    2009 + 5 = 2014

  5. About modern on Google Voice Receives First Update in Five Years (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Can we stop describing things as modern? Especially in graphics design or UX. If 10 year from now we keep calling things modern, does it make any sense?

  6. Apple killed the USB and Audio Jack in 2016 on Apple's New MacBook Pro Requires a $25 Dongle To Charge Your iOS Device (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Is too incredible, Apple killed the USB port and the Audio Jack in 2016. Someone sold the idea that the USB-C is the best connector out there for the future and Apple bought that, forgetting that we live in the present and the USB-C form factor is less used than Thunderbolt 2

  7. Now Go has less move than atoms in the universe? on The Universe Has 20 Times More Galaxies Than We Thought (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Can we say now that the GO board game has less moves than the atoms of the universe?

  8. wrong post, sorry

  9. Tesla auto-pilot requires a human paying attention 100% of the time. This is FUD, get classy CNET

  10. The mission was successful on SpaceX's Falcon 9 Crashes Into Droneship (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 2

    Falcon 9 Landen, then exploded. That article is too negative. SpaceX managed to deploy 2 satellite into 2 different orbits, successfully!!!!

  11. Tesla did not imported, misleading title on Tesla's New Factory Project Imported Foreign Laborers (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 2

    Tesla did not imported the workers, it was the sub-sub contractor. Shameful slashdot title, I hope this is not the default.

  12. This is how liberty on French Version of 'Patriot Act' Becomes Law · · Score: 1

    "this is how liberty dies with thunderous applause", Episode III
    with https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  13. Heat as by product of fire on Pope Attacked By Climate Change Skeptics · · Score: 1

    You take a liquid that is under the surface, burn that liquid and the by product is heat. You store that heat in the atmosphere. And that heat does not rise the temperature of the atmosphere.

    So, it is a fire that generate heat that does not increase the temperature of anything. I see a math and physics evidence there.

  14. When you use Google for everything on YouTube Going Dark On Older Devices · · Score: 1

    When you use Google for everything, then your only option is to obey Google. Thanks God Google only sells ads, wait a minute ...

  15. Don't think replacing the pilots is right on Planes Without Pilots · · Score: 1

    I think a more practical approach is to don't allow the pilots to crash the plane on a mountain. Humans are still needed in the cockpit, just remember the Hudson River Pilot. What would a computer do in that situation?

  16. Submit as anonymous to be sure on Developers and the Fear of Apple · · Score: 1

    The story was submitted as anonymous, in order to avoid problem with Apple. I rest my case.

  17. Internet ads should be free on Google Fiber: Why Traditional ISPs Are Officially On Notice · · Score: 0

    20k ads per month should be free for all, thats freedom. Oh, that will ruin Google's Business? Hey, its the ads freedom, everyone should be able to promote his business in order to have a better life.

  18. Re:iPhone 5 CPU clock speed error on iPhone 5 GeekBench Results · · Score: 1

    /. need to errata this article.

    He better go device naked, just imagine a NSA phone lost at DEF CON ... :)

  20. Like Apple? on Google's Grand Android Plan · · Score: 1

    Wait! Google doing another "Apple move"? Unbelievable!
    P.D.: sorry to start a fan war post :)

  21. Hurry on Sun's Twin Discovered — the Perfect SETI Target? · · Score: 1

    Why are we wasting time talking, just SETI it! How long could it take to find out if there is a signal??

  22. Re:Thank you Slashdot on iTunes' Windows Problem · · Score: 1

    You get the point, no more news for nerds here. And Jean-Louis Gassée should name at least 3 problem that can not be solved with 1 iTunes app scenario. This is a non issue.

  23. Re:Definition of irony on Sergey Brin Says Facebook, Apple and Gov't Biggest Threats To Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    How about Google opening all their server software? How about opening up Adsense? Then I will believe in Google again.

  24. Re:No Source? on VISA, MasterCard Warn of 'Massive' Breach At Credit Card Processor · · Score: 1

    Thanks! I was surprised to read an article without a link to the source. Maybe it was a typo

  25. No Source? on VISA, MasterCard Warn of 'Massive' Breach At Credit Card Processor · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The article has no credible source. Is this Spam?
