  1. The real story on Comcast Says It Isn't Throttling Heavy Internet Users Anymore (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    They are going to change the system to add throttling capabilities based on traffic type now that net neutrality has been repealed.

  2. Yes, but this one will have an app.

  3. There is nothing unproven about the "technology". It is just making a tunnel and putting train shuttles in them, like has been done in airports all over. They aren't doing what Musk was proposing: a series of interlocking tunnels with carts that hold passenger cars which descend from the surface on elevators. Now THAT is a dumb idea.

  4. Re:That is terrible! on Turkey Bans Periscope (stockholmcf.org) · · Score: 1

    Is there an app for that?

  5. Netflix and Comcast on 'Netflix and Alphabet Will Need To Become ISPs, Fast' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    The Netflix app is shipped on every new Comcast DVR. Seems like they have been negotiating fine.

  6. Re: That is terrible! on Turkey Bans Periscope (stockholmcf.org) · · Score: 1

    I see. I use Grindr myself. Can't they switch to that?

  7. That is terrible! on Turkey Bans Periscope (stockholmcf.org) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    What is Periscope? I am guessing it is a type of food or drink. Anyhow, I am outraged about it.

  8. Re:No breaches or worries here on Britain's Dixons Carphone Discovers Data Breach Affecting 5.9 Million Payment Cards (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Impressive! Tell us more!

  9. ...we have some arbitrary promises about security and we evaluate each bug against those arbitrary promises. Oh, and we have no legal liabilities or requirements to do anything, so you have no recourse so stop complaining.

  10. Re:What about pet waste? on Chile Becomes First Country In Americas To Ban Plastic Bags (ewn.co.za) · · Score: 1

    They do in Maryland/DC/VA because there is a tax on plastic bags to encourage reusable bags. Maybe some other states have the same thing. Eventually plastic bags will be phased out here as well. Amazingly people lived for years, decades, millenia before plastic bags.

  11. Re:What about pet waste? on Chile Becomes First Country In Americas To Ban Plastic Bags (ewn.co.za) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Paper bags? How did people survive before plastic bags were invented?

  12. You Telsa nuts are...nuts. The top selling EV has been the Nissan Leaf (by far). Tesla is not likely to be the EV leader.

  13. Re:Pretty cool on KDE Plasma 5.13 Released (kde.org) · · Score: 0

    Sorry snowflake. Truth hurts I guess.

  14. Re:Pretty cool on KDE Plasma 5.13 Released (kde.org) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I remember when Microsoft had a feature called "Active Desktop" (I think) where you could embed webpages into the desktop. So when the embedded Internet Explorer invariably crashed it would take down the desktop. Brilliant engineering. It is only a matter of time before some Millennial comes up with the same idea.

  15. Pretty cool on KDE Plasma 5.13 Released (kde.org) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is pretty cool. One of the biggest features of a desktop is browser integration.

  16. Eventually the Internet will be restricted to access by only an approved set of devices and for consumption of media only by the end user. If you don't think that will happen, you haven't been paying attention. After all, think of the children, and the terrorists and the copyright holders.

  17. Newer AND bigger?

  18. The stock is up 20% this week so I have switched my short TSLA positions to long! Gooooo Tesla!

  19. Re:Reducing polution can mean more money. on To Hit Climate Goals, Bill Gates and His Billionaire Friends Are Betting on Energy Storage (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    And now that DeepMind has figured out how to beat the best Go players on the planet, it can now be used to determine the best options for energy storage.

  20. They should consult Tesla. Elon Musk has excellent battery technology and has it all figured out already.

  21. Re:Bees are fascinating animals. on Honeybees Seem To Understand the Notion of Zero, Study Finds (sci-news.com) · · Score: 1

    Brains are not like microprocessors, despite what the "AI researchers" try to claim.

  22. All us cool kids have switched to Go and Rust. It is better to use the latest languages produced and controlled by a single corporate entity to keep your skills "sharp". By the way, can someone find me a job? I don't know C or C++ but I know how to use the latest frameworks!

  23. Where will the 15 Surface owners go to for support?

  24. Re:Not news. on Bitcoin Tumbles Most in Two Weeks Amid South Korea Hack (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    None of what you describe are investments. You are talking about speculation.

  25. Not a problem on Bitcoin Tumbles Most in Two Weeks Amid South Korea Hack (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    I just switched my Bitcoin investment into Tesla stock.
