  1. Re:... Says the Frenchman on EU Leader Says English Is Losing Importance (politico.eu) · · Score: 1

    The poster said 'mother tongue.' That is the same as saying 'native tongue.'

  2. Re:Virtual pleading the 5th on Justice Department Opens Criminal Probe Into Uber (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Methods to evade laws have nothing to do with the 5th Amendment. One can argue for or against the areas that ban Uber and their laws, but your analogy is flawed. This software is more like a real criminal using methods to avoid undercover police.

    Machine learning != AI

  4. Re:Holy Fuck Read The Fucking Summary Ed on 'Exercise-In-A-Pill' Boosts Athletic Endurance By 70 Percent, Study Finds (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    Your reading comprehension skills are obviously lacking, or your are lying about reading the whole thing. Longer use of the drug produced results. No, it isn't a replacement for exercise and training, but it could be a huge boon to people who can't work out due to physical limitations. You should probably cut your losses and move on.

  5. Re:"Well rounded media center experience" on OpenELEC 8.0 Linux Distro Released For PC, Raspberry Pi, WeTek Hub (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but every DVR/Media Center/etc. I've ever owned has required some kind of reset after an update.

  6. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong... on NASA's Cassini Spacecraft Begins Its Final Mission Before Plunging Into Saturn (popsci.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    There isn't enough fuel left to do that. They are using just about every last drop to do science.

  7. That would make sense if the CIA had been hacked. All indications are that contractors working for the CIA gave the info to Wikileaks, so it wasn't a hack.

  8. Re:Analysis on Google Will Release a New Pixel Phone this Year (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    Google didn't design the Nexus line. They just provided software and branding. While the fabrication of the Pixels is farmed out to HTC the entire design of the hardware was done by Google. That's the difference and why they qualified it as their first 'proper foray.'

  9. Re:and.. they will stop supporting it next year. on Google Will Release a New Pixel Phone this Year (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    With the initial Pixel and Pixel XL they already guaranteed full support with updates and new Android versions for a minimum of two years.

  10. Re:Why not go the whole nine yards? on Woolly Mammoth On Verge of Resurrection, Scientists Reveal (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    It still begs the question. Why? It's a waste of money and resources that could be focused on actually contributing to society. "Because we can" is not a good justification.

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

    That only works when a huge majority of people agree to live as 'free and voluntary humans.' It doesn't take a very large percentage of bad actors to fuck up your anarchistic utopia, and given human nature said utopia will never, ever happen.

  12. Re:Theoretically on Shamed In Super Bowl Ads, Verizon Introduces Unlimited Data Plans (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm paying $65-$75 per month for two phones with plenty of data via Project Fi. So far the service is also excellent. You were saying something about all prices being the same?

  13. I am not sure they have said definitively.

  14. The new plant they are building in Arizona is slated for 7nm dies, so smaller chips are coming eventually.

  15. Re: Meta-network is the best. on Verizon and T-Mobile Are In a Virtual Tie For the Best Network In the US (androidcentral.com) · · Score: 1

    It also uses US Cellular.

    Sorry, forgot to close the quote :) The second line is mind.

    a combination of spirituality and superstition, fad and farce, about which the only thing certain is that it is not new.

    You just described every religion ever, including Christianity.

    Then you're on the wrong site. Shouldn't you be busy playing COD in your mother's basement?

  20. Re:This one felt like the old slashdot... on A Supermassive Black Hole Has Been Devouring a Star For a Decade (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    There is still some of the old /. left. The problem is the signal to noise ratio, which is directly attributable to insecure trolls who feel better about their pathetic lives by being assholes.

    Because it isn't really illegeal becasue they changed the law after peoples sstarted doing it that's ENTRAPMENT

    You obviously do not know what entrapment means, do you? There are many cases of laws that make previously legal behavior illegal.

    Entrapment is when law enforcement induces you to commit a crime. Let me know if any of the words I've used are too big for you!

    There are far fewer jobs per car produced now then there was even a couple of decades ago. Sure there will still be jobs in solar, just not nearly as many.

    You obviously didn't even bother reading it. Yes, it's valid. It's your cognitive functions that are iffy.

  24. Obama didn't create any jobs, nor will Trump. The President's policies and legislation he signs can affect job growth, certainly, but they themselves, the Presidents, don't create any private sector jobs. Presidents get credit and blame because 'the buck stops here.'

    Very true, but intuitively I know that the 'Big Bang' started with a box of spaghetti and some boiling water.
