  1. Re:Crash not accident on Volvo To Add In-Car Sensors To Prevent Drunk Driving (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    That's why lawyers say "there are no accidents, only incidents".

  2. Wasn't sure which kind of Black Panthers this was going to be about!

    let's get real: Even if your Android still receives security updates, there's no telling how long it will be before manufacturers and carriers get it together to push out the patches

    ...I still prefer an iPhone.

    Don't believe the hype about update lag, it's not reality. de facto, per se. I'm using an Essential PH-1. I got the patch today.

  4. I tell you what, they had better be saving that money! Cause you can only be king-ding-a-ling in the gamer community for so long. Once someone else's shit sparkles more than yours, the herd is off to munch on new grass.

  5. Don't you mean "annihilated"? It surprises me how many people use the word "decimated" without actually knowing what it means.

    RTFA, It says the CORE is the size of a paper towel.

  7. I get 50 days and I sure as hell am not anywhere near the top 25% of earners in my country. Greetings from a socialist University in the US.

    Ahh. Thanks for the clarification.

    How do you like Renoise? I've been thinking about buying it. Fruity Loops is the only reason I keep Windows around, but only because I haven't found an alternative that runs on Linux.

    Considering that there are only a couple hundred 959's in existence, I'd say a licensing effort would be pointless. They are no doubt charging dubiously huge fees for these 3D printed parts, but if you own a 959 money is already no object.

    Also, Porsche charges astronomical licensing fees for anything associated with their brand. Just look at video games for example.. Many times you will see RUF cars instead of actual Porsches in games because they want too much for licensing.

  12. It's not really contradictory, even if it seems so at first.t For a car analogy, consider that a BMW 116i is not a high-end model, but a premium one.

    If you're trying to say that BMW is a premium brand, that would be correct. But any fool knows a 1-series is not a premium BMW. Back to the point: an Intel M3 does not a premium laptop make.

  13. Put a few drops of CBD oil under your tongue and thank me when you wake up 15 hours later. :P

  14. Yes, good question. I have found CBD-rich Indica strains work well. THC doesn't hurt, but Sativa is usually counter-productiive. The best is straight CBD oil dropped sublingually.

  15. Definitely not a high end model [...] but it's still a premium one

    What is with these retarded journalists these days?

  16. You're obviously either too dumb or too square to try weed... Nature solved this problem for us eons ago.

  17. Big Fat Nothing Burger on White House Seeks 72 Percent Cut To Clean Energy Research (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is probably not a big deal, IMHO. Sure, some groups will be stymied by the lost of tax breaks and grants. But let's face it; solar and wind are going to become cheaper than fossil fuels in the long term anyway (hell, it's a dead heat right this minute) and we won't need government funding for renewables to propagate. In fact, I would rather the feds just get out of the way.

  18. Surely this is a solved problem?

    You're talking about an industry that was (in some places) still using coal-fired steam engines until the 1980's. You have to adjust your perspective to match the train system's general antiquity.

  19. Re:In more ways than one? on Linux 4.15 Becomes Slowest Release Since 2011 (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Yes, that's exactly what I think. To that end, I expect a kernel from today should perform better than or equal to a similarly configured kernel from yesterday, and indeed that has been the trend. While the Linux kernel has grown in some areas, it has gotten leaner in others.

  20. In more ways than one? on Linux 4.15 Becomes Slowest Release Since 2011 (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Let's hope it doesn't also run slower than it did in 2011

  21. The Ghost In The Shell "reboot" movie was bad enough. Wish I could unwatch it, but I can't. Adding insult to injury, "Deep Dive" is now becoming a buzzword.

  22. Install Audacious and look for the Winamp Classic mode in the preferences.

    Do you live under a rock, or just outside the US? Otherwise, I find it hard to believe you have made it this far into life without realizing that evening programs are delayed due to football almost every Sunday in the fall...
