  1. Re: cost reduction on Taking the Headphone Jack Off Phones Is User-Hostile and Stupid (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, if I try to watch a youtube video with bluetooth I have audio lag issues.

  2. I don't want to wait for my coffee on WHO: Drinking Extremely Hot Coffee, Tea 'Probably' Causes Cancer (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    When I want coffee, I want it now and I don't want to have to wait for it to cool down either. I don't want it so hot that it burns my mouth and leaves a flap of skin hanging down. So when my coffee is too hot to drink I get a little irritated. I also don't want to have to put ice in my coffee either because watered down coffee is nasty.

  3. Trent Reznor is secretly Bosnian Bill?

  4. Re:Exactly! on Microsoft Urged to Open Source Classic Visual Basic (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    I took a VB4 class 20 years ago and just didn't really get it. I knew regular BASIC fairly well. But now, C# and PowerShell are the tools to get things done in windows in my opinion.

  5. Re: never heard of it on RIP Kuro5hin (kuro5hin.org) · · Score: 1

    I'd bet you're kicking yourself for not signing up a few days sooner to get a coveted 2 digit ID number.

  6. I did, in the other direction on Slashdot Asks: Have You Experienced Ageism? (observer.com) · · Score: 1

    I was once told by a recruiter that the employer chose not to select me because they didn't believe that I could have had the experience that I claimed to given my young age.

  7. 10 Years? on Keurig Spends 10 Years Developing A Recyclable Coffee Cup (boston.com) · · Score: 1

    How long has the tea bag been on the market? Other than the little staple holding it together, there's nothing about it that can't be composted. Oh I see, they can't figure out a way to lock you in with a simple tea bag. That's why I use an espresso maker to make my single cups.

  8. Re:Weird, I thought this was Trump? on Facebook Employees Ask Mark Zuckerberg If They Should Try To Stop a Donald Trump Presidency (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump doesn't mince words. That's earns him big points with a lot of people.

  9. How many billions have been pledged with nothing to show for it? Someone's getting right off this. If you're not a part of the solution, there's a lot of money to be made prolonging the problem.

  10. Re:It's time to rise up a be counted on About 40,000 Unionized Verizon Workers Walk Off the Job (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It's all good until the non-union employees see how good the union guys have it.

  11. Yes. Why buy insurance if someone's going to pay for it for you.

  12. God forbid we pour a glass of water on the face of someone who's knowledge could save lives. I seem to remember a lot of these guys like to remove heads of people they don't like.

  13. Re:Climate is not weather on Bill Nye: Climate Change Denial Is 'Running Out of Steam,' Thanks To Millennials (mic.com) · · Score: 1

    If it's not caused by man, then it's natural. Suck it up in that case.

  14. Re:The poor at higher risk for everything on Preterm Births Linked To Air Pollution Cost Billions In The US (time.com) · · Score: 2

    So what you're saying is the air current comes straight down the middle of the island and blows outward on all sides?

  15. Not at all.

  16. Re:Public money, public papers on Should All Research Papers Be Free? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Or at least public to the country that sponsored it. It doesn't take some countries long to come up with products based on someone else's research.

  17. Re: "Appears" Insincere? on Why You May Not Like Ted Cruz's Face, According To Science (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Cruz and Rubio were both born in the 1970s. And we'll he's of Cuban parentage so not white in the sense of what we think of (European caucasian)

  18. May be the Windows RT 10 shell update on Windows RT Could Make a Comeback · · Score: 2

    A while back they said they were working on a UI update for Windows RT that would give a lot of the look and feel of Windows 10 but on RT devices. The OS would still be Windows 8-RT but the UI would be like Windows 10. Though I don't see a whole lot of difference between Windows 10 for phones and RT.

  19. Re:Ideological corners on Rubio and Kasich Are Living Out a Classic Game Theory Dilemma · · Score: 1

    Clinton, are you serious?

  20. Re:Bullshit on Even On eBay, Women Get Paid Less For Their Labor (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Women in the United States are paid only 79 cents on the dollar compared with men doing the same job.

    I hear this kind of stuff being said all the time like it is some sort of general rule but the reality it seems that this is not actually happening in most companies. With most places, any pay discrepancies that might exist between two people of any gender who work for the same employer can almost always be accounted for by the fact that the people whose salaries are being compared are doing different jobs, or have else have differing responsibilities at work.

    Besides, what company's HR department full of people with liberal arts degrees would not catch this vast underpayment and do something about it?

  21. Re:No more paid posts by Nervals Lobster on Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot? · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah and buck feta.

  22. No more paid posts by Nervals Lobster on Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot? · · Score: 1

    Seriously.

  23. Examples? on Why Does Twitter Refuse To Shut Down Donald Trump? (vortex.com) · · Score: 2

    Can you give an example of this "hate speech"? There is a difference between "hate speech" and "I don't like what I just heard" or "he just made (me / group xyz) take a hard look at themselves"

  24. Re:Trump just says stuff on Trump Says He'd Make Apple Build Computers In the US (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    No true communist...

  25. Re: Cars on The Dirty Truth About 'Clean Diesel' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Modern cars and diesels actually clean the air polluted by older vehicles. Exhaust and pollution from less environmentally friendly vehicles gets inhaled by these new vehicles and HC and NOx and particulate matter get a second pass through the system. This is especially so in dense traffic.
