  1. I'm still waiting for my Tesla flying car to be real.

  2. Star Wars... on A Bright Green 'Christmas Comet' Will Fly the Closest To Earth In Centuries · · Score: 0, Troll

    Obi-Wan Kenobi: That's no comet... It's a rotten egg!

    Han Solo: It's too big to be a rotten egg!

    Luke Skywalker: I have a very bad feeling about this.

  3. Re:Another great reason not to worry too much on Experts Urge US To Continue Support For Nuclear Fusion Research (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    What things 20 years ago were never dreamed of or thought possible? I am interested. I can't think of a single one.

    Microsoft ditching Internet Explorer for an open source web browser. Miracles and wonders abound!

  4. Re:Please, PLEASE. on Apple To Build $1B Austin Campus, Add Thousands of Jobs in US Expansion (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    There's a difference between irrelevant comments and a stalking campaign. If you want to stalk creimer, be my guest. Just leave me out of it.

    Why do you have to reply to my comments with this crap? I'm not creimer.

    Considering that Austin is described as the blueberry in the tomato soup, it's already the bay area.

  7. Re:WHERE? on PHP 7.3 Brings C Inlining and Speed Improvements (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 0

    A Google search turned up this. If I'm reading it right, this is a replacement for FFI as it requires PHP 7.4. Go figure.

  8. Re:I watched a few minutes of his videos... on YouTube's Top-Earner For 2018 Is a 7-Year-Old (usatoday.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's toy porn for kiddies.

  9. That comment belongs to Crash Dummy Redux. Before you accuse someone of being a liar, make sure you have the right person.

  10. I made no promises about Reddit.

  11. Re: Free on Luxembourg To Become First Country To Make All Public Transport Free (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Welcome to civilization.

  12. Cash is a no win situation for restaurants... on NYC Politician Wants To Ban Cashless Restaurants (eater.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The problem that restaurants have with cash is that the IRS can confiscate their cash for making daily deposits under $10,000 that appear to deliberately avoid reporting requirements for depositing $10,000 or more. If the restaurant keeps cash on site to comply with the IRS reporting requirements, robbery becomes a greater risk. Going cashless fixes both problems.

  13. Probably the same kind of people who read H.G. Wells's "The First Men in the Moon" as kids and then landed men on the moon.

  14. Re:I would just be happy on YouTube Will Remove All Pop-up Annotations on January 15 (engadget.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Annotations work great on the desktop. Not so much on mobile. And mobile is where most videos are being watched these days. Mobile also has no ad blockers to prevent ads from being shown..

  15. Re:I would just be happy on YouTube Will Remove All Pop-up Annotations on January 15 (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    Those are end cards that can appear in the last 20 seconds of the video. If enabled for older videos and videos without a dedicated end card screen, the end cards will overlay existing content. A dedicated end card screen can be added to the video before uploading to YouTube.

  16. Thank God for Minesweeper!

  17. No, George Lucas still alive and well.

  18. Most of those movies were pre-Marvel Studios or licensed by Fox or Sony.

  19. Re:Shit editors. on China's Brightest Children Are Being Recruited To Develop AI 'Killer Bots' (scmp.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not to be racist but all these Chinese news stories look alike.

  20. Mod down. Chris/creimer announced on Twitter that he left Slashdot. Ironically because his trolls are more interested in harassing other users than paying any attention to him.

  21. PCIe version 4.0 is to replace PCIe version 3.0 in 2019.

  22. I voted... on Did You Vote? Now Your Friends May Know (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    My roommate is delivering our ballots to the polling station since he drives that way to work.

  23. Re:I had a wise professor on Ask Slashdot: How To Fix an Outdated College Tech Curriculum? · · Score: 1

    I have a college friend like that. Graduated from the univeristy in computer science. His first and only programming job lasted eight years. He couldn't find a job after the Dot Com bust. He still works as a drugstore clerk after all these years.

  24. Re:I had a wise professor on Ask Slashdot: How To Fix an Outdated College Tech Curriculum? · · Score: 1

    Most people stop learning once they get out of school because they associate learning with going to school. I can't tell you have many adults I have encountered who are shocked — shocked! — that their $100K diploma doesn't exempt them from learning for the rest of their life.

    The newer Dell PCs no longer have a cup holder. Where else are they going to put their black coffee?
