  1. Dyslexia is fun on Theme Park Deploys Trained Crows To Collect Litter (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I was going to call bullshit until I realised I had misread cows

  2. Re: can I fireup putty and login to an windows ser on Microsoft Is Making the Windows Command Line a Lot Better (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess the point here would be no, you would just go c:\Windows> ssh user@winhost

  3. So, you thought Windows was riddled with security on Microsoft Is Making the Windows Command Line a Lot Better (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    - We have such sights to show you!

  4. Real world problems - warehouse sized overlords. on RightHand Robotics Automates a New Type of Warehouse Work: Recognizing, Picking Up Items From Boxes (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    At least, having an AI solve real world problems with advanced sensory feedback and complex appendages is doing more for robotics than silly animatronic detours like https://www.youtube.com/watch?....

    Imho, these kind of solutions is what is the real driving force of the future of robotics. Now to have a coffee and think about how our warehouse sized, multiped overlords will shape the future.

  5. American majorities have never stood for anything intelligent or positive afaik.

  6. Re: For bonus points... on European Space Agency Records Leaked For Amusement, Attackers Say (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    But after paying the cost of the printout, the student went bankrupt and had to quit his studies

  7. Just a thought about all this evil nonsense. Imho only misguided people fall into this trap of believing that his opponent is evil. What humanity should have learned through infinite wars and numerous religious superstitions, is that man is capable of doing anything if he believes he is in his right to do so. And how easily a man can be misled into believing he is right. And please spare me this my God holier than thine religious chant, read your history books and be silent.

  8. Bad news on The Milky Way May Be 50 Percent Bigger Than Previously Thought · · Score: 2

    For the devs at Elite: Dangerous, the April update will have them working around the clock

  9. Re:Name: Drinkman on Russian Man Extradited To US For Heartland, Dow Jones Cyberattacks · · Score: 1

    And the city name Syktyvkar is a conjugation of the words "Sick", "Thief" and "Guy" in norwegian. Drinkman from Sick-thief-guy. Just sayin'

  10. Smart? on Canada's Next-Generation Military Smart Gun Unveiled · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does it come with optional voice synthesizer to negotiate peaceful solutions on behalf of the soldier?

    Can it distinguish between a gun and a cell phone or a banana and optionally refuse to fire?

  11. Clickbait on Engineer Combines Xbox One, PS4 Into Epic 'PlayBox' Laptop · · Score: 1

    * Self-taught engineer hires self-taught camera man *
    - Project ends with ridicule over crap footage.

  12. Re:Great, but is it fireproof? on Paper Stronger Than Cast Iron · · Score: 1

    If nothing else, it will revolutionize the packaging industry. Strong cardboard boxes are a holy grail of packaging. kids will have a hard time tearing open their christmas gifts...

    Other uses? Paper airplanes, coat it with plastic and make a really cheap fishing boat, tape that won't break, temporary floor, single-use knife, non-toxic circuit board for cheap toys... This is a breakthrough in the highest meaning of the word. ah, knife.. paper cuts take on a whole new (and menacing) dimension
  13. Re:Thin Clients on Rehabilitating Damaged Laptops · · Score: 1

    I third this.
    thin clients is an obvious and good use for old (not broken) laptops.
    however, the original article is very lacking...

    i can come up with tons of ideas, raging from routers/ network-sharers, as-above-mentioned-thin-clients, etc., and I never wrote an article on the matter

    somebody give this guy some imagination

  14. Re:and then use the frogs... on Robot Eats Flies to Generate Power · · Score: 1

    they could go for the full-scale predator-bot,
    luring flies, then frogs and then
    - ultimately -
    the odd lonely princess-by-the -brook, looking for a lover.
    kiss of death.
    make the duracell-bunny envy you, all that energy.

    royalty is so passé anyway

  15. Re:Real advance is...Streaming Video ALL OVER on Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    i was going to comment something along these lines, but with a few minor modifications.

    see, the commercial aspects are so strong, i fear what the end-user will se, will be naught but the 24/7 streaming videowalls, the videopanels and the videolabeled clothing. anything that can be used to transmit commercial messages...

    what I would like, is that Rorschach mask from Wathcmen... i allways loved that mask.

  16. Re:*sigh* on Mars Rock Varnish May Harbor Life · · Score: 1
