  1. I assumed sound was from the camera vehicle on 60 Minutes Dubbed Engines Noise Over Tesla Model S · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I too noticed it and thought it was odd but rationalized it as being the sound of the vehicle carrying the video camera.

  2. Re:Projections on UN Report: Climate Changes Overwhelming · · Score: 3, Funny

    They will have sprouted friggin' gills and still be struggling with the concept.

  3. The bulldozer requested a very large glass of milk on Million Jars of Peanut Butter Dumped In New Mexico Landfill · · Score: 1

    (lol)

  4. "The Beast" is armored, weighs about 7 tons, on What If the Next Presidential Limo Was a Tesla? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    and is built on a GM truck frame.
    I have a hard time imagining this level of protection working for an electric vehicle.

  5. Every keystroke causes a *BEEP* to emit on New VR Game Makes You a "Hollywood Hacker" · · Score: 1

    and there is a [BYPASS] button next to the password prompt!

  6. Suspicious Death of Shane Todd In Singapore on Police Say No Foul Play In Death of Bitcoin Exchange CEO Autumn Radtke · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "The Todd family's suspicions of foul play stemmed from various pieces of circumstantial evidence. For instance, they alleged that police had failed to properly investigate the scene of the crime, that the police neglected to dust for fingerprints, that the suicide notes ostensibly left by Dr Todd were out of character, that the crime scene did not match the description given by authorities, and that a pathologist in the United States found that his body showed evidence of a struggle, rather than a suicide."

  7. Superficiality Well on Popularity On Facebook Makes People Think You're Attractive · · Score: 1

    Like a cosmic entity that increases in mass, the more it gathers, the more it attracts.

  8. Re:imagine on First Outdoor Flocks of Autonomous Flying Robots · · Score: 1

    Little batteries everywhere (ripped off from a joke in Sleeper)

  9. Add LEDS for skywriting at night! on First Outdoor Flocks of Autonomous Flying Robots · · Score: 1

    Get lots of them for "fireworks" display!

  10. Fucking, CA on Why Nissan Is Talking To Tesla Model S Owners · · Score: 1

    What's the climate like?

  11. Nissan Dealers Hate the LEAF on Why Nissan Is Talking To Tesla Model S Owners · · Score: 5, Interesting

    My wife is a LEAF owner. In shopping for the LEAF, multiple Nissan dealers were dismissive about the vehicle as a passing fad, a toy, or just dumb. Several dealers didn't even stock one, let a lone a selection. One dealer's demo LEAF was parked behind other cars, under a tree, covered with bird crap.

    The LEAF requires much less service (no gas, no oil changes) while presenting a steep technology learning curve, and making the issue worse, by treating the LEAF as an outcast, dealers sell fewer and have even less reason to be enthusiastic.

    To understand why the Tesla is so hot while the LEAF is not, Nissan need look no further than their own dealer network. Tesla has not dealers, only showrooms, so none of the internal combustion versus electric hangups as the Nissan dealers.

    BTW, we did finally find a Nissan dealer that had a good attitude about the LEAF and we are satisfied customers.

  12. Belt Buckle Mounting Option, Please! on Australian Police Deploy 3D Crime Scene Scanner · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because my, um....

  13. Helmet Mounted Option, Please! on Australian Police Deploy 3D Crime Scene Scanner · · Score: 1

    Because my arm will get tired.

  14. Let's see them outrun LIGHT! on Do Hypersonic Missiles Make Defense Systems Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Speed of sound, even in multiples, is nothing compared to the speed of light. Light/energy based defenses just need to be more nimble.

  15. Do my taxes for me, then on Federal Agency Data-Mining Hundreds of Millions of Credit Card Accounts · · Score: 2

    If the govt insists on crawling up my ass with a microscope, then they should have the common decency to emerge with a completed IRS Form 1040

  16. Sony's CCDs failed for many digital cameras on GPUs Dropping Dead In 2011 MacBook Pro Models · · Score: 1

    The warranty didn't matter. The various camera manufacturers that used the Sony CCD issued a recall and replaced the CCDs. I believe Sony picked up the tab.

  17. Re:I believe it on New Study Shows One-Third of Americans Don't Believe In Evolution · · Score: 1

    Is the weather intelligent?

  18. Believing in divine creation is the problem on New Study Shows One-Third of Americans Don't Believe In Evolution · · Score: 1

    So adding "believing" in something else is not a compatible narrative.

  19. Re:Pay for TV that is filled with ads..... on Streaming and Cord-Cutting Take a Toll On the Pay-TV Industry · · Score: 1

    So then why paying more for additional channels if the content is ad supported?

  20. Pay for TV that is filled with ads..... on Streaming and Cord-Cutting Take a Toll On the Pay-TV Industry · · Score: 1

    People are (finally) wising up.

  21. This news + Chromecast = Awesome! on YouTube Expands Live Streaming To All Channels · · Score: 1

    I welcome the opportunity to view live content via Chromecast!

  22. DC Fast Charger - $15K to $20K on Six Electric Cars Can Power an Office Building · · Score: 1

    In order for this sort of energy trade to be made the building and cars must operate using DC Fast Chargers, which will permit a flat car battery to charge to 80% in about 30 minutes. These chargers are the largest and most capable and are not cheap.

    This.

  24. Re:There are pills which can help you on Ask Slashdot: Practical Bitrot Detection For Backups? · · Score: 1

    I work next to a moving and storage company. Occasionally the dumpster out back can be found unceremoniously overflowing with the contents of a forgotten storage locker. Anything of value has been teased out - you know what gets tossed? Everything else, especially photo albums, trophies, diplomas, etc.

  25. Speaking of "woefully manual process" on Andy Rubin Is Heading a Secret Robotics Project At Google · · Score: 1

    I often imagine a crablike or bigdog-like machine that can roam within a perimeter, Roomba style, but outdoors, in possibly poor weather, gathering or flagging anything unnatural, for the purpose of gathering litter from roadsides, around buildings, etc. A beach version would have some sand-sifting capability.
