  1. "Ride sharing" on Google Maps Removes Uber Integration (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Let us stop calling Uber "ride charing". Let us call it what it is: "an illegal taxi service app powered by Neural Network Deep Learning AI".

  2. Drain the swamp! on President Trump Directs Pentagon To Create New 'Space Force' Military Branch (defensenews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We need more federal agencies for the taxpayers to support! Drain the swamp! That is what it means, right?

  3. Re:Solution from a surgeon on Man Reports PillCam Stuck In His Gut For Over 12 Weeks · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The first thing any surgeon wants to do is cut.

    Well yes. I didn't suggest she went from a little town in Iowa, directly to space.

    No. Literally. Go look at up. Very impressive.

  6. Wow amazing! on Machine Figures Out Rubik's Cube Without Human Assistance (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    This is great. Now that we have mastered Chess, Go, and Rubkis Cube all of these "researchers" will put them to work solving meaningful problems. Because AI. Right?

  7. Born in literally nowhere Iowa, and became one of the greatest astronauts of all time.

  8. Re:A Message From Bruce Perens on 'Open Source Security' Loses in Court, Must Pay $259,900 To Bruce Perens (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Good job Bruce!

  9. Re:Was there a reason to add the 'finally' on The Silk Road's Alleged Right-Hand Man Will Finally Face a US Court (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    "Is it illegality that stops you from shooting up heroin? Would you start if it was legal?"

    Yes.

  10. Re:Registered /.ers opinions of the Win64 model on Inside the Private Event Where Microsoft, Google, Salesforce and Other Rivals Share Security Secrets (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    I can vouch that APK Hosts File Engine is a fine piece of software. I use it daily.

  11. Re:Was there a reason to add the 'finally' on The Silk Road's Alleged Right-Hand Man Will Finally Face a US Court (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    "Finally" means that it has been five years since his arrest.

  12. Re:Crap! Now I'm scared on Self-Driving Cars Likely Won't Steal Your Job (Until 2040) (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    They will when they crash through your office wall.

  13. They speak English in Australia??

  14. Re:That's only 22 years away on Self-Driving Cars Likely Won't Steal Your Job (Until 2040) (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    What are we voting for? Saving the buggy whip makers?

  15. Securing America's Future Energy on Self-Driving Cars Likely Won't Steal Your Job (Until 2040) (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    Securing America's Future Energy is a lobbying organization that represents oil companies like Chevron. So this is just junk. Slashdot needs to stop reposting this drivel.

  16. For those people who do not have iPhones, they implant a similar system inside one of their teeth. That is the sources of the voices I hear in my head.

  17. Re:How About "Good Enough"? on On The Sad State of Macintosh Hardware (rogueamoeba.com) · · Score: 1

    Bingo. So if Apple redesigns it, are they going to raise the price, or lower it? Sure you can argue that Apple should lower the price, but that won't happen because price isn't only based on the cost of the components.

  18. Re:How About "Good Enough"? on On The Sad State of Macintosh Hardware (rogueamoeba.com) · · Score: 1

    "Why should consumers be happy leaving that on the table with Apple when they don't from other vendors?"

    You guys don't get it: 4 cores at 3.4Ghz vs 6 cores at 3.6Ghz makes no difference. Those types of "improvements" don't matter for consumers and aren't worth the redesign. No one demanding it from Dell or HP either. I know Slashdotters hate me for saying it: but it is the end of the road for Moores Law. It is time to move on.

  19. Re:How About "Good Enough"? on On The Sad State of Macintosh Hardware (rogueamoeba.com) · · Score: 1

    "If the tech is older, the price should drop."

    Why? You guys are acting like it is 1995. Those days are over. Computing is only going to get MORE expensive, not less. The corporations now control it completely.

  20. Re:My PC is from 2006 on On The Sad State of Macintosh Hardware (rogueamoeba.com) · · Score: 1

    That doesn't show dramatic improvement to me. 218% improvement from chip 1 to 2 (in 6 years), and 430% from chip 1 to 3 (in 11 years!!). You wouldn't even notice the difference.

    "they shouldn't have to buy a "new" computer based on tech from two years ago."

    Why? What is different from 2016 technology from 2018? Moores Law is dead. This isn't 1994.

  22. Exactly. Chalk this up to some millenial wasting taxpayers money so we could write something in his blog.

  23. Re:Obvious solution on Antarctica Is Melting Three Times As Fast As a Decade Ago (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    People shouldn't build along coastlines. They destroy the marsh/swamplands which act as buffers for flooding. The regular flooding in Brooklyn is due to this. Global warming only makes it worse.

  24. How about solving problems that actually exist? We already have "self checkouts". Is that a major problem that needs addressing?

  25. In other words, young people don't read or learn history in school? I am pretty sure that event is something everyone should be aware of, since it is one of the biggest cultural events in modern history.
