  1. Take a look at a documentary series titled Transformers. :)

  2. The Surface Laptop soured my mom on any microsoft laptops.  That thing was impossible to open with one hand.  How can you get the user experience so wrong on something so fundamental?

  3. Re:Fancy accounting. on Bitcoin and Blockchain Are Among the Fastest-Growing Skills Online (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The only disputes and corrections on the blockchain are hard forks.  And the only way to do that is get the majority of the users to agree with the fork.  For every day stuff, no, there is no disputes or corrections.  Just do it right the first time.

  4. Re:What comes around goes around. on Almost Half of Tech Workers Worry About Losing Their Jobs Because of Ageism, Says Survey (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Just allow people to start drinking during work that way you get them sober the next morning. :D

  5. Curious what the results are on modern hardware on Microsoft Speech Recognition Now As Accurate As Professional Transcribers (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    They should do tests using modern hardware. For example the speech recognition on iOS seems to be pretty good. If they can get this technology into windows 10 that would be awesome. Oh I dictated this using iOS.

  6. Royalty-free just means no per device cost.  May be there is a one time cost? or something else.

  7. In NHS's case, I am guessing only one person had to be infected.   Then it used the SMB exploit to worm it's way through the entire system.  It only took one person.  I am checking all of my machines to make sure it's all patched.. (in health care)

  8. IT. not softdev.

    Twitch is the youtube of video games.

  10. Re:Not an overbooking incident on Why Do Airlines Overbook? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You can remind everyone who flies United that they have a pretty high percent chance of getting beat up. 4 out of 70!  lol  Oh, and I guess since first class is exempt, the % is even higher if you are in the fight club.

  11. Why do they need to keep spare parts when you can get the parts in two hours using Amazon PrimeNow! :D  And before you say you can only buy food, you are wrong. You can buy a weber outdoor grill using prime now.

  12. Re:Two questions on Graphene-Based Sieve Turns Seawater Into Drinking Water (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Since this is a filter, I am going to guess it will probably be like a replaceable filter system.  This is huge for not needing energy to work.

  13. Re:And the funny thing is on Android Overtakes Windows as the Internet's Most Used Operating System (betanews.com) · · Score: 0

    Windows is just catching up to Android on evilness.  When the OS has a built-in Ads API.... yeah...  Windows doesn't have that.. yet.

    Let me answer everything in your post?

    yes?

  15. Re:So I'm going to be the grouchy old man here... on Canadian Millennials Struggle As College Degrees Don't Guarantee Jobs (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure Canada already has a nationalized health system.  Did you even read the title?

  16. Re:Value of the open source ecosystem and communit on Linux Foundation Chief: Businesses 'Will Fail' If They Don't Use Open Source Code (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    let's add SELinux to that list.

    So why isn't there an open source campaign fund?

    Do you have developer mode turned on?

  23. Re:A problem without a good solution. on Ask Slashdot: Should Commercial Software Prices Be Pegged To a Country's GDP? · · Score: 1

    My solution was to price my service by currency.  So if a US customer really wants to get a cheaper price, they can buy it in EUR.  Of course then they'll have to explain to management why their 'quote' changes from week to week because of exchange rates.

  24. Watch some lithium battery explosions on youtube.  It happens super fast.

  25. Did you know the first global trading company was establish in 1600?  Globalization started way back.  Where do you think tea and coffee comes from?  There's no way we can be self-serve unless you want to also wind the standards of living back a few centuries.  You sure won't be able to afford that coffee unless you are mega rich.
