  1. The hyperbole is strong in this one on Developer Marco Arment Shares Thoughts On iPhone X's Notch (marco.org) · · Score: 1

    > most important, most successful, and most recognizable tech product that the world has ever seen

    I think someone might have something to say about that.

  2. Colour me suspicious, but on Terry Pratchett's Hard Drive Destroyed By Steamroller (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    That's the hard drive he was using two years ago?

    How long has it been since you could even buy a hard drive with an IDE interface?

  3. Re:Different genres for me. on Ask Slashdot: What Modern PC Games Would You Recommend For An Old School Gamer? · · Score: 1

    And if your reflexes aren't up to World of Warships, try Naval Action for really slow turning mechanics.

  4. > porn based upon the US Constitution

    I'm guessing some sort of parchment-based cosplay figures highly in your fantasies.

  5. Re:This is obvious hogwash on Autonomous Forklift May Eat Up Warehouse Jobs (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Is demand for my product expanding at the same time as the amount of product I can supply? If not, then keeping my existing workforce is going to result in a whole bunch of excess inventory that will need to be warehoused.

    So, I would fire half of them at first, and then hire them back again when I have a need to be able to produce more.

    Or, you know, just upgrade the robots to version 2.0

  6. The Llama Abides, dude... on What Happened To Winamp? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    http://www.winamp.com/

    Although it's been a bit of a quiet decade... The last release was version 5.666, in 2013, but the bits I use it for still work just as good as ever.

    According to DJ Egg, who appears to be the only developer left, the latest public beta appears to be stuck in the dread Swamp of Legaldepts

    MilkDrop is still the best visualiser, bar none, and the LineIn source still works perfectly.

    It runs on a laptop plugged into a projector that paints the ceiling at our band's gigs with a 1920x1080 screen at 60fps. It is frequently admired and commented on.

  7. Re:While these guys are nutters.. on Cloudflare Stops Supporting Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Would that be the Gibson Guitars with the 13 thousand square metre factory in downtown Memphis, Tennesee?

    The very same Gibson guitar foundation that was raided found to have used illegally logged Madagascan Ebony?

    Twice?

    Protip: If you have to make shit up to support your position, your position is very probably wrong.

    ...mininge?

  9. You're not one of the next billion.

    The reason why you're not one of the next billion was delininated in the article, but it appears you failed to grok that bit.

    Maybe you are one of the next billion, after all.

    Not to mention that a lot of them wouldn't even fit down some of those little country lanes

  11. Probably just some atmospheric testing on A US Spy Plane Has Been Flying Circles Over Seattle For Days (thedrive.com) · · Score: 1

    You know, with some perfectly harmless Bacillus globigii, or Serratia marcescens.

    Or whatever the current iterations of those two completely harmless bioweapons are.

    But, I jest, of course. The US government would never do that to its own citizens.

  12. In case it helps you understand what is going on here, the first time the ThrustSSC moved under its own, it hit a whole 70 miles an hour! And that was using technologies that have been around for over 40 years.

    Now you want to do it with an entirely brand new technology. You want them go straight to 310 KM/h, do you?

  13. Are you saying you have no familiarity with iterating towards an objective?

    Or, they could just read the note. There's usually a note.

  16. Re:Wrong! on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Read Code? · · Score: 1

    My lips move quite frequently when I'm reading, but that's only because I'm doing the voices.

    > The drone, which was about two feet in diameter and weighed about two pounds

    Yeah, nah.

    > Btw, you're also locked in a virtualized Windows platform on Debian.

    You've almost got it right. you just need to add something along the lines of;

    And, just because I consider you one of my really special friends, I've got this really cool little tool tcpdump running on it and hey! Is that your IP address? Huh. I wonder what other those kooky nuts over at /b/ will make of that? ...Oh, he hung up.
