  1. And the Pirate Planet Episode written by Douglas Adams with Tom Baker as the Doctor was one of the best..Where K-9 met his match with the Robotic Parrot..

  2. Peter Jackson on Amazon Is Making a 'Lord of the Rings' Prequel Series (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And I hope Peter will be involved somehow..

  3. Re:The Mouse That Roared on 'Quark Fusion' Produces Eight Times More Energy Than Nuclear Fusion (futurism.com) · · Score: 1

    They were hesitant about publishing this because of the threat of making a Q-Bomb out of it, but they said that the Baryon's didn't last long enough to create a chain reaction.
    But I'm sure someone will figure out how to make them last longer also.

  4. Dedicated Hardware on Could Cryptocurrency Mining Kill Online Advertising? (linkedin.com) · · Score: 1

    No! Automated mining on my machine is not what I want at all. So every work computer we have will be running mining software because they just visit web sites at lunch and then the rest of the time it will slow the machine down so that people complain their computers are not working.. No I would not want that.

    The only way this would work is if people got extra dedicated hardware that was put in the machine, like a mining card.

    And it's sole purpose was to run a little bit at some request, but then why stop at advertisers, why not let games use it to mine so they can make money, or other apps or even the government to reduce the debt?

    How about letting our cars mine when we drive or all of our IoT devices?

    I'm joking, I don't want things to take control of my devices for any reason.

  5. Re:Just started replaying Fallout: New Vegas on US Preparing to Put Nuclear Bombers On 24-Hour Alert (defenseone.com) · · Score: 2

    And if you want to get a better understanding of Nuclear War, try this game:
    Defcon

    The only winning move is not to play!

  6. Dark Side - Stay Away on Discovery of 50km Cave Raises Hopes For Human Colonisation of Moon (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Just stay away from the Dark side of the Moon.....

  7. Re:longer lifetime on Traditional PC Sales Continue To Slide (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Same here, same computer for 5 years, Just upgrade the Graphics card. The computer even crashed and I replaced the hard drive, but same computer. Same thing at work, No real need to upgrade.
    But it all comes and goes in cycles, just the cycles seem to be getting longer.
    There is no real new hardware that is forcing people to buy new machines. I think that people are building their own rigs for coin mining, but that is just a basic motherboard, memory, power and lots of graphics cards.
    Maybe when Neural Net chips will start to become more common place.

  8. Re:I can see the marketing now on Russian Defense Company Demos A One-Person Flying Car (futurism.com) · · Score: 1

    Is that like a Russian cocktail?

  9. The Pilots will all be AI on Elon Musk Proposes City-to-City Travel By Rocket, Right Here on Earth (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    So we have nothing to worry about in that area..

  10. The Top secret 6 strands of Fiber Optic cable in there that is only available to certain agencies.

  11. Can't we just light a match when the methane bubbles up from the oceans?

  12. See what you want to See on Internet Is Having a Midlife Crisis (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes the Internet grew up and we don't have all the old fun stuff. But we do, if you look for it.
    There is so much out there and so much good stuff, if you look for it.
    There is so much information and stuff to do, if you look for it.

    When you stop looking for it and let others do it for you then you find what they want, not what you want.

    I prefer this internet then the one I started with, way back when.

  13. I guess they should add DMCA to the signs now...

  14. Free Marketing on Kit Kat Accused of Copying Atari Game Breakout (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I never hear about this till now. So they used the Breakout name to get sued. What is a small fine to Atari for all this Free Press?

  15. More like Gmacs...

  16. Life and Evolution are working as they should..

  17. 10 is bigger and better than.. on 24 Cores and the Mouse Won't Move: Engineer Diagnoses Windows 10 Bug (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

  18. US Space Corps is GO on Congressmen Propose a New Military Branch: The 'US Space Corps' (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    US Space Corps is GO

  19. It wasn't the AR that people liked, as most said, people just turned it off. It was the location based part, where you can drive around or walk and keep finding Pokemon, and Poke Stops and Gyms. Its just kinda fun to pull it out and play anywhere you are.
    I'm sure there will be more coming soon, RPG like.

  20. Skype is as bad as Google News now on Skype Users Slam Microsoft's Attempt To Infuse App With Social Media Magic (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Lets change it all and make it worse because we want more... The new Skype interface sucks and looks horrid and the same for Google news.

  21. How to make something plain and boring...

  22. Driving Tests for Automated Cars on Driver Killed In a Tesla Crash Using Autopilot Ignored At Least 7 Safety Warnings (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that people are going to have to get trained to know what the warnings are and what to do with them. Maybe Tesla does this already?
    Maybe it will have to start becoming part of the Driving School tests.

    You may hear the warnings, but that doesn't mean you know what to do.
    Bad interface and interaction designs do not help people understand to complexities of the information.

  23. So this will be the Whole of Amazon?

  24. Re:The main point is as a species we are at risk on Life On Mars: Elon Musk Reveals Details of His Colonisation Vision · · Score: 1

    Maybe he knows something we don't about incoming asteroids headed this way and is preparing for the future.

  25. Minneapolis Minnesota on Before Silicon Valley, New Jersey Was Tech Capital (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Then it moved to Minneapolis where there was Control Data with Plato, Honeywell, and Cray Super Computers.
