  1. Re: Fix things on US Federal Budget Proposal Cuts Science Funding (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Fixing things would require a complete reassessment of the world economy,and finding out ways for people to contribute positively to the best of their abilities and helping them to improve.

  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Full 1995 Showtime movie that deviates from the plot of the original story.

  3. Re:Why do people pay attention to Kurzweil? on Ray Kurzweil On How We'll End Up Merging With Our Technology (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1
  4. The originals did not come about via knowledge of such things so why should version 2.0?

  5. Surgery nanobots.. on Ray Kurzweil On How We'll End Up Merging With Our Technology (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    And virtual avatars and instead of Neo's "Now I know Kung-fu", it can be, "Now I know the Kama Sutra" or whatever.

  6. What, no Cyberman love? on Ray Kurzweil On How We'll End Up Merging With Our Technology (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    You will be upgraded and become a part of humanity 2.0.

  7. Re:Testing costs money on Microsoft Locks Ryzen, Kaby Lake Users Out of Updates On Windows 7, 8.1 (kitguru.net) · · Score: 1

    Sure it "runs" but how reliably? I just bought a used http://support.hp.com/us-en/do... for $100 running Windows 8.0 because the previous owner said it ran slow, and I uninstalled Norton AV, and everything was fine. Now I have it running Windows 10 Insider Preview.

  8. Slashdot isn't even trying on Buying a Samsung TV Online Could Jeopardize Your Data (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It still offers a bookmark to automatically log you in.

  9. Shoplifting and Charlie Sheen antics are just things actors do to get out of contracts by engaging in antics that result in a property's association with the actor to be negative. Somehow it allows the actor to avoid financial penalties in the contract if the actor was to simply quit.

  10. They're all real. Though the popular thought is that ther is a "real" universe somewhere to which all other universes are fake, but that's absurd and I'll do my best to explain why to anyone who wants to shoot holes in the premise.

  11. It was called something like Inception, wasn't it?

  12. Re: Zeno's Paradox on Cooling To Absolute Zero Mathematically Outlawed After a Century (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    You appear to be confusing numbers with physics. I suppose however somone could come up with a universal universe editor that works like a rom hacking tool and edit in an object with the property of being at absolute zero, but conventional methods of cooling things will not get an object to absolute zero

  13. I read mainstream stuff like the WSJ to see how writers mess up a story one way. I watch alternative news to see how someone can turn a slight misfortune by the ruling elite into them being utterly ruined. Stefan Molyneux has some interesting back and forth. MatPat has interesting content as does the skeptic community.

  14. Well I encountered âproblems with it, however I managed it.

  15. Re: Limited choice on Questions Linger After ISP Blocks TeamViewer Over Fraud Fears (sophos.com) · · Score: 1

    Your choices are generally mre limited when you rent though to whatever company owns the cable lines and whatever company owns the telephone lines, the latter of which has relatively low bandwidth DSL. Wireless is beginning to compete, though. I live with my mom, not in some basement, and we lived with my uncle for awhile and a company stringing fiber arrived to compete with the regular cable company. We rent near my sister now and our choices are the aforementioned two.

  16. Yeah, but LG put the power button on the back, too, so you gotta be careful setting them down. Volume buttons there too. It also seems to be more of an issue in a pocket.

  17. Your brain still works on things in the background. It doesn't actually stop when you are no longer consciously thinking about it.

  18. Re: Mossad on A Rogue Robot Is Blamed For a Human Colleague's Gruesome Death (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    You joke, but Mossad stole this poor guy's shoe! https://youtu.be/qqoLmQpzqXA

  19. How living things work on Laptop SSD Capacity To Remain Flat As NAND Flash Dearth Causes Prices To Rise (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Processing your work is not actually something you turn on and off, yet people treat it that way.

  20. What do we want? A time machine! When do we want it? Well, anytime really...

  21. The UK has had big problems with homeopathy well before the US had its vaccine denying issue and has its vaccine deniers as well. In some semblance of transparency, the US has had some homeopathy believers, but it has nowhere near the traction as in the UK. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/h...

  22. While I am frequently on mobile, which never keeps me logged in, just now on the desktop I logged out, saw the stupid beta slider thing and logged back in.

  23. Slashdot Beta may have stopped, but its interface seems to be the default one I encounter on the rare occasion I deal with Slashdot not logged in.
