  1. Ericsson (Sweden) is another very major player...

  2. Fox broadcasting, down three and three eighths.

  3. Alternative for seamless PC to mobile transitions? on Google Hangouts For Consumers Will Be Shutting Down Sometime In 2020 (9to5google.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I use it for people I communicate with regularly because it doesn't matter where I am...laptop, phone, tablet, etc. I can send and receive messages and it doesn't make a difference. SMS in a browser is pretty flaky still, and has a tendency to become detached at inconvenient times, and doesn't always send immediately.

    I'm genuinely open to suggestions (I'm an android user, so no Apple only stuff) and Facebook messenger will be one of the last I consider.

  4. A horizontal rocket? on Bloodhound's 1,000 MPH Car Project Needs Money (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    How is the goal anything different than an existing rocket with wheels on its side?

    From the crippled children?!?

  7. Office Space? I watch it at least once a year...had the DVD, then bought the BR. Easily paid itself over and over!

  8. 0.6 volts of power? This isn't even pedantic, it's just plain wrong.

  9. Re:To limit RFI? on Tourism is Compromising the World's Largest Telescope (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    You do realize even receivers need an LO, right?

    Firefighting crews in Canada routinely use fire behavior prediction software.

  11. Re:Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X on Ask Slashdot: Which Is the Safest Router? · · Score: 1

    I meant to add that the UBNT community is full of people willing to help...perhaps the best asset.

  12. Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X on Ask Slashdot: Which Is the Safest Router? · · Score: 4, Informative

    https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/e...

    Just a happy customer. Firewall, VLANs, scheduling, logging, etc. Can't beat the price either.

    Then don't visit those sites. Parent was suggesting this would be a method of transferring value in exchange for your consumption of their service.

  16. Re:They only missed one obvious thing. on Ford Has An Idea For An Autonomous Police Car That Could Find A Hiding Spot (jalopnik.com) · · Score: 1

    And then what? Politely ask the suspect to get in the car?

  17. Bobcat in a box on The Legislative Fight Over Loot Boxes Expands To Washington State (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    What about bobcats?

  18. Re:And what did they use for a Control Group? on Study Links Decline In Teenagers' Happiness To Smartphones (pressherald.com) · · Score: 1

    Has anyone really trusted eBay in the last 10 years, electronic device or not?

  23. Re:As a Bitcoin fanboy who expects it go higher... on SEC Warns 'Extreme Caution' Over Cryptocurrency Investments As Many People Take Out Mortgages To Buy Bitcoin (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    100k-500k is only a 5x scale. BTC has already shown it is more than capable of exhibiting far larger swings in short periods of time.

  24. Pissing War on Yahoo Sues Mozilla For Breach of Contract -- So Mozilla Counter Sues Yahoo (betanews.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Nothing like a legal pissing war between two irrelevant companies.

    CDMA did not merge with TDMA, GSM, etc. CDMA died a rightful death due to its patent and licensing encumbrance.
