  1. Re:and... no Linux client on Skype Gets A New Competitor: Amazon Announces Chime (geekwire.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Considering the overwhelming majority of business users have windows for an OS I'd say it's useful for their target audience.

    This is for business users. VOIP chat has been around for a while now so it shouldn't be hard to get Echo to do that but it's not going to have the features business users are looking for.

  3. The Real Question on Mission Possible: Self-Destructing Phones Are Now a Reality (yahoo.com) · · Score: 2

    The real question isn't if you want one but if it would be legal. If the cops pull you over and you destroy your phone will that be considered destroying evidence? Will the government outlaw it? If they were unhappy with unhackable iPhones they're gonna go ape over this.

  4. I've always kind of looked up to the Japanese as smart people. Just a reminder that even smart people make mistakes.

    Well there's the actual heat involved too. You'd need some awesome heat shields. I heard in an earlier post they've developed electronics they think will survive a trip to the surface of Venus. Something like that perhaps.

  6. hmm....yes, eventually. No one's getting out of here alive.

  7. Don't lose containment on your reactor core.

    Electronic components are sensitive to static electricity. I can just imagine them being blasted by nuclear radiation at point blank range.

  9. Re:US Disinformation? on Russia Considers Sending Snowden Back To US As a 'Gift' To Trump (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    It might be that the Russians think Snowden has more info he hasn't shared with them. So far the stuff they got was mostly just about illegal monitoring that was embarrassing but not all that harmful. Maybe they're trying to scare him into spilling more info. If he was a real spy there's no way they could give him back as that would preclude anyone else running to them. However, if he's just a hero trying to stop the evil NSA from illegal acts then they lose nothing by tossing him back.

    No, it's not. I'm thinking it's a little light.

  11. I was thinking the death penalty would be better. But I guess I can settle for life in prison for him.

  12. There have been plenty of people saved by these new types of treatments. One test at duke involved using Polio to kill cancer. It's actually been tested and found to work in many patients although not without problems. Researchers are onto it but it's only being used on test cases where ppl are terminal. Some ppl still die but otherwise all die.

  13. He was born in Kenya, Hawaii.

  14. So we have no one doing any work? Robots perform all jobs from the menial to the complex? Everything is free? I suppose we're going to outlaw private ownership of land too? All those copper mines and gravel pits are now belong to the State? This sounds like a good thing to you?

    Think about this, if robots do all the work, who will buy your products? You can't maintain factories with robots with no money and if no one works no one has money to buy your stuff.

  16. I think fiber to the curb may be good but copper cable sucks.

  17. I saw where they have lakes and they pump water to an uphill reservoir during the day using excess solar and then generate power by running it downhill through dynamos to the downhill reservoir at night.

    I can tell by your Nick that your an intelligent, smooth-spoken and reasonable individual.

  22. No to the headset. I can't wear a headset all the time like I can a watch. I don't generally carry conversations more than 30 or 40 seconds so I just want the convenience of not having to hold a phone in my hands. I hear people yapping on the phone for hours on end everywhere I go so it's not like it's going to stand out.

  23. In 2016 I probably had a total of 30 minutes outage during particularly bad storms. Cable ran about the same and the pictures is way better than cable. If you're losing signal all the time something is wrong with the installation.
