  1. Re:Another yutz who doesn't know what accuracy mea on New Navigation App 'Live Roads' Promises 1.5m-Accuracy With Standard Cellphone Hardware (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1
    Mod up! This is one of the most common misunderstandings of precision vs accuracy!

    Because.... in this case, some one could provide their readout of location to 20 decimals. Incredibly precise!

    And, be off in real location by 300', so, not very accurate.

  2. Re:Because "Pop Music" isn't popular anymore. on Is Pop Music Becoming Louder, Simpler and More Repetitive? (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    just queue up Dave Mason's "Feelin' Alright" (I recommend the live version from "The Very Best of Dave Mason"), and go from there. Create a Pandora, a Google Play Radio Station, or just listen to Dave Mason, Steve Winwood, Traffic.

    "Feelin' Alright" will point you in the right direction, it's almost involuntary how it perks you up. Helps me forget what's happened to music since 2005-ish.

    There really is a LOT of good music out there, even today. It's just that mainstream caters to something they think is mainstream. I don't get it, I know a lot of others who agree.

  3. the nice thing is, with the new Prime Key service, Amazon should deliver the printer inside the space station's door... even if the astronauts are not home!

  4. per my previous reply... I suppose it could be 50 billion octaves, they did say "tones", but unless they somehow landed solidly in C-maj, or A-min, there would probably have to be included half tones. Just my pedantic $.02.

  5. you probably should factor in half tones... it's probably more correctly around 30 billion octaves.

  6. a billion other things wrong with Windows 10

    I don't think anyone would ever need more than that.

    +1 Clever.

    Ran out of real mod points.

    Probably a "whooosh" for most.

    Nicely played.

  9. I can't remember if I thought this was funny!

    It is amazing how awful some CC can be.

    At first I thought, based on your post you'd really meant to say: "It is amazing how awesome CC can be."

    Interestingly, both are true.

  11. OOM, GC limit exceeded.

  12. ok, this is very confusing on Microsoft Wants To Power Self-Driving Cars With Software, Not Build One (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

  16. so, if you're new, you get "special" on You Can Now Get Comcast TV and Internet Service Through Amazon (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    According to Cable Store FAQ, users will have to go through Comcast directly if they want to make any changes to their existing plan.

    Well, that's special... new customers get top notch service. Long time customers (10+year customer here) relegated to same old.

    There should be a moderation category "Scary".

    10% in 20years, so 100% in 200years, so full adoption in the year 2196AD. At least it won't clash with the Y2K38 bug.

    Then, 150% in 300 years??
