    Those ARE defects.

  9. Re:Amazon is part of it... on 'Amazon Effect' Hits Retailers Around the Globe (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Before Amazon got the blame it was Wal-mart. They also have to compete more and more with sellers of used things. What counts as a retailer anymore, anyways?

    He's using the wrong words, but essentially he's saying that they get to charge you for their mistakes caused by having lousy IT that is lousy because they are saving money by not spending it on training.

  11. Re:And make sure it is an actual button on Refresh Is Sacred (tbray.org) · · Score: 1

    There should be a way for sites to tell the device content and controls and have the user pick how they want the device to present it to them, but all too often the app wants to control presentation.

  12. Re:And make sure it is an actual button on Refresh Is Sacred (tbray.org) · · Score: 1

    I keep hitting the "x" button, select "Stop showing this ad" and selecting reason, "Ad covers content". Speaking of which it did it again on this very post reply page. Slashdot, fix your ads, or Google will get enough noise and step in. Don't know what the current interaction is exactly, but since the option is provided, there ought to be something that can be fixed on Slashdot's end. I want to support sites by viewing ads, but you got to go about it the right way.

    A piezoelectric speaker that only beeps can be made a microphone. Everything resonates with everything else. Even the POTS ties in with the internet at some point and pay phones are too few and far between. But at least, "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up," will always be heard.

    There are no good reasons, or any bad reasons. We are in a simulation. That keeps us safe. And the evil big money people are trying to escape that safety. But they are also perfectly good. Bifurcations, don't you know. The Space robots will keep us safe! For great justice. I know, I'm senile!

    I read that initially as Wisconsin is reporting that California's website is perfectly safe. As for the article, are we really going with, "But Great Britain does it too!"

  17. So ask the court to find the arbitration clause nonbinding, or that a true meeting of the minds never really took place. If you really want to go to court, there's nothing really stopping you.

  18. Re: For all my friends browsing at -1... on 'Lost Continent' Rises Again With New Expedition (smithsonianmag.com) · · Score: 2

    For me that's the beta interface, but the original interface can be turned back on so I'm good on that front but the original interface can also hide bad posts so that's good too. The fun thing is when I hear users say they don't see the beta interface anymore! The beta interface doesn't work when I turn on desktop site on mobipe Chrome and the login token is also completely broken.

    All stories are true. Make sure yours is a good one. Sure from our perspective it hasn't happened yet, but it will. All times are soon, and the supernatural is merely another term for artificial.
