  5. "See, we got this phone call and they said they were with Windows technical support and one of our computers was spewing error messages all over the Internet...

  6. I am not sure I understand how this would be different from the Sam's Club 'Scan and Go' app I used the other day. I scanned each item (who really needs a 2 gallon jar of mayo??) and put it in my cart. When I was done, I told it to pay with my credit card and it generated a upc code and a receipt. The person at the door looked at the receipt, scanned the code and I was gone. No waiting in line. Yes, there is the risk of putting an item in you cart without scanning. I would assume that if you are buying an iPad or other expensive item (that could possibly be hidden) they would do something like 'Hey, let me scan that for you to make sure it comes up with the correct price."

  7. Does it have to run while sitting in a shimmering white pool of milky liquid?

  8. Best part about this on Google Promises Ethical Principles To Guide Development of Military AI (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    How many rotors can a helicarrier lose?

  11. Perfect projection material on Mercedes' Futuristic Headlights Shine Warning Symbols On the Road (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Projecting onto a road or highway makes perfect sense. I have often thought that a slab of asphalt or concrete (maybe even dirt or gravel) would make an ideal projection surface for my home theater.

  16. Every morning: git update; make install on Could AI Transform Continuous Delivery Development? (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    As long as customers are comfortable with doing this, I do not see a problem. Now, that will require that developers keep making continuous, worthwhile improvements to the code. Not some fluff change from a marketing recommendation that users want a lighter shade of red for their 'Stop' button.

  21. I weep for humanity on Amazon Wants To Put a Camera and Microphone in Your Bedroom (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    If this is where our technology advances are leading us, it would not take an advanced AI to defeat mankind. Probably a refurbished C64 would do the job nicely.

  22. So many to choose from.. on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    The Matrix, Bladerunner, Alien(s), The Andromeda Strain (original), Fantastic Voyage, and (guilty pleasure) The Last Starfighter
