  1. Best and worst movies on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Movies and TV Shows of 2018? · · Score: 1

    Best movies I've seen in 2018
    Factual:
            Free Solo
            First Man
    Somewhat factual:
            BlacKkKlansman
    Fiction:
            The Hate U Give
            Revenge
            Cold War

    And the worst of 2018:
            Black Panther
            Formulaic, poor CGI, supposedly concerns an independent black nation - but one that needs the CIA to ensure the correct warlord holds power -Uh, right.

            Sorry to Bother You
            A satirical comedy where the jokes aren't funny and the satire is blunt as a baseball bat. So bad I should have walked out. That's 111 minutes I will never get back.

  2. Re:Not the defendants on Twitter Sues US Government Over Attempt To Unmask Anti-Trump Account (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Uh, ignore my comment. Too tired to read the filing properly.

  3. Not the defendants on Twitter Sues US Government Over Attempt To Unmask Anti-Trump Account (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    >> the lawsuit names four individuals as defendants

    Nope, it names four individuals as plaintiffs. The defendant is as yet unknown.

  4. Re:Have it all the time... on One in Five of Us May 'Hear' Flashes of Light (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Brighter scenes place greater demands on the power supply of a CRT. On older sets this can be heard as a buzzing sound, sometimes accompanied by picture distortion.

  5. Who needs cash on Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'We're Going To Kill Cash' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    "We're going to kill cash," he said. "Nobody likes to carry around cash." Got $800 just lying around? Buy an iPhone 7. $25 in your pocket you don't need? Buy our charging dongle! Don't you just hate having spare cash?

  6. Re:Intert? on CIA Left Inert Explosives On School Bus After Exercise (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    OMG! They left an oxymoron on the bus!

  7. Re:well, can't be solar powered on Facebook Building World's 'Most Advanced' Data Center In Irish Village (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    Since wind turbines supply a substantial part of the grid, 18.3% in 2014, Facebook may indeed be powered by the Irish windmill.

  8. 40 hz of current? on Electric Stimulation Could Help You Control Your Dreams · · Score: 2

    40 hz of current? Looks like the editor is the one asleep.

  9. Re:Not as good a field of view on Will Cameras Replace Sideview Mirrors On Cars In 2018? · · Score: 2

    A camera based system would also lose the binocular cues of depth, unless it was 3D. I cetrainly don't want to wear stupid 3D glasses when driving, they're bad enough in the cinema.

  10. Re:Absolutely zero emissions on Nissan Unveils 88 Pound 400-HP Race Car Engine · · Score: 1

    "first race car in history to complete a lap during a formal race with absolutely zero emissions" The summary is demonstrably untrue for anyone willing to perform the most basic search. A fully electric race from 2011. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Given that it's in France the battery charging power would come from a nuclear plant, making this truly zero emission racing.

  11. 100 Mhz audio? on World's Smallest FM Radio Transmitter Created With Graphene · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Audio signals of 100 megahertz? They have perfected ultrasound then.

  12. Re:Too much hassle. on A Hybrid Car With Detachable Engine Proposed · · Score: 1

    And where is the engine stored when not in use? It'll need a garage, with room to spare, equipped with a hoist.. or require a drive to a storage facility before a journey can even be started? On a more practical note there is now a diesel / electric hybrid, from mainstream car company Peugeot. It has separate drivetrains like the concept car in the article, but uses them to give the option of 2 or 4 wheel drive. http://www.reghardware.com/2012/03/06/preview_peugeot_3008_hybrid4_worlds_first_diesel_electric_hybrid_car/

  13. Re:Psychological effects on Science Reveals Why Airplane Food Tastes So Bad · · Score: 4, Informative

    Previous research has linked high noise levels, such as found on aircraft, with the perception of blandness in food. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11525897

  14. Not 400x on The 1 Terabyte SSD Arrives · · Score: 4, Informative

    Maths fail in article. $4000 / $100 != 400x

  15. Re:Bad Title on ISP Sued By Irish RIAA · · Score: 4, Informative

    The organisation is IRMA, the Irish Recorded Music Association http://www.irma.ie/index2.htm Their website mentions other legal actions taken against file sharers.

  16. Re:This is what happens... on Satellite Abandoned Due To Orbital Patent · · Score: 2, Informative
    There does not seem to be any question of this satellite turning into space debris. From the article...

    both parties are "eager to splash the satellite within days".
  17. Already done on X Prize For a 100-MPG Car · · Score: 1

    Already been done in a production car, years ago. 103 mpg by a turbo-diesel Daihatsu Charade. It's in the Guinness book.

  18. Re:To Clear up some things.... on Delta 2 Rocket Launches 50th GPS Satellite · · Score: 1

    >> They're expecting to charge money for the same service the US gives out for free! Somebody failed economics

    Not necessarily. Galileo will have a number of classes of service, Commercial service promises accuracy of 10 cm to 1 m, a lot better than GPS.

  19. Re:they better not on Desktop Linux Sliding in Under the Radar? · · Score: 1

    Where I used to work the IT department got mad as hell with people installing Linux, since some of them tried to set up dual boot on their notebooks and trashed their Windows installations. They did agree in the end that people could have it but only by swapping out their hard drive when they wanted to use Linux. None too convenient.
