  1. Re:Want to address gridlock? on Return of the Bubble Car? (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    How statist of you...

  2. "No published research shows Watson improving patient outcomes."

    Would a doctor want to publish research showing that their expensive need is diminishing?

  3. Re:As a vegetarian since 15 years... on Impossible Burgers' Key, Bloody Ingredient Wins FDA Approval (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    "Oh George, not the livestock...."

  4. Ouch... Right in the Lucas... on How 'Mission Impossible' Made the Leap To 4K and HDR (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "You also have to remember that we're not putting in anything that didn't exist on the film [for HD remasters]," Pielstick added. "It was always there we just didn't have the ability to see it. So we're not adding anything new, we're not doing anything to increase those, we're just able to look at the negative in a much clearer way than we ever could before."" Subtle jab at George Lucas, where every remastering is a retelling of the story?

  5. Every Macbook Pro has had thermal issues since the very first one, and I think all have had a recall of some sort for the GPU getting cooked. To keep the A E S T H E T I C , they do their best to keep the vents as non-existent as possible.

  6. Use reusable cups with discounts on McDonald's To Test Plastic-Straw Alternatives in US Later This Year (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Where I live, it seems everyone has one of those 30oz RTIC / Yeti / Ozark cups within 6 inches of them at all times with a hard plastic self-retaining straw. Many gas stations give you a small discount for filling one of those rather than using one of their cup and straw combos. Fast food places should follow suit.

  7. Inception on MIT Researchers Developed a 'System For Dream Control' (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Time to really mess with their minds, Inception style.

  8. There's more to it than a number on Ask Slashdot: Should CPU, GPU Name-Numbering Indicate Real World Performance? · · Score: 1

    I use passmark as well, but some things in the newer CPUs do not relate to the raw processing performance. For example, my tablet has a 4 core atom processor that's roughly the same passmark as a Core2Duo system. But it can decode and encode H264 video with little to no cpu utilization. Because they added that feature to the chip. So now I can watch 1080p video on a system that could not consistently decode it on the processor.

  9. Dear Californians on Bay Area Cities Consider Rideshare Tax On Uber, Lyft (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Please rise up against your oppressors, sincerely, Texas.

  10. He should lower the prices so that his super special technology can be put in the hands of more people and make the world better, faster. Or was he lying?

  11. That site does not work with OEM keys. Only retail. It will say "contact your manufacturer for OS media"

  12. Of course anyone is going to claim they are absolutely indispensable when their livelihood is challenged. In the early 20th century, white-only unions lobbied for a minimum wage to shut out black construction workers who were willing to underbid the prevailing union wage.

  13. Re:Why are the owners of the cars unknown? on The Mystery of the Cars Abandoned in a Robot Car Park (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Makes it easier to just drive it across the border and re-register it with no proof of ownership.

  14. Re:it's a parking lot on The Mystery of the Cars Abandoned in a Robot Car Park (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Look who's talking...

  15. Re:Not analyzing payload on Cisco Can Now Sniff Out Malware Inside Encrypted Traffic (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    That was what I was thinking. Patterns in transmission not really anything in the traffic itself. Sends a dozen packets out, receives 18 back, then every 30 seconds, sends 2 packets, receives 2 packets (some kind of heartbeat) and occasionally several minutes of non-stop streaming from the infected PC.

  16. Re:Red-State Favoritism? on Trump Pushes To Expand High-Speed Internet In Rural America (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I think what he's saying is you're asking about something that didn't happen.

  17. System V R4 is dying on Oracle Staff Report Big Layoffs Across Solaris, SPARC Teams (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    They should have stuck with BSD, it's dying but less quickly. :)

  18. Can't even tell before installing on Are App Sizes Out of Control? · · Score: 1

    The play store used to show you the app size before you installed it, now it doesn't. I would frequently look at an app and find the smallest one. Especially if it was something like a basic utility like a compass, specialized calculator. No need for an app like that to be more than 1 or 2 MB unless they've packed it full of junk.

  19. No, there's fundamental differences in philosophy behind those who want their lives dependent on the government and those that don't.

  20. Re:It's not a religion, but a Jonestown cult! on The US Can't Leave The Paris Climate Deal Until 2020 (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes. You are 100% right.

  21. I just get "The directory name is invalid."

  22. I am extremely satisfied... on Apple AirPods Customers 'Satisfied' With the Product (techpinions.com) · · Score: 1

    With the smug sense of superiority I get for wearing them around people who do not have them.

  23. Re:100% of landline customers affected by strike on 17,000 AT&T Workers Go On Strike In California and Nevada (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Except for small businesses who haven't moved to Vonage or similar.

  25. Classic arcades use 19" screens. Larger ones like 29" or so would mostly be 90s games and newer like Street Fighter II and stuff.
