  1. "QWERTY will not be completely replaced,"

    Sure it will. Already all the Germans use a QUERTZ one while all the French people use AZERTY and ....

  2. We already knew, somebody told us days ago here, on this very place, while you obviously weren't here.

  3. Respawn time is endless.

  4. Re:a tablet that you can put in your pocket on Samsung Says Its Foldable Phone Will Be a Tablet You Can Put In Your Pocket (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    "That's quite a pocket you have."

    Naw, he's just happy to see you.

  5. Teach AI Some Basic Common Sense on The US Military Wants To Teach AI Some Basic Common Sense (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Good luck with that.
    Common sense isn't very common I'm afraid.

  6. I did that as well as a kid.

  7. People have their music taste developed between 12 and 18 and they stick to it all their life. To download all that music on broadband you need half an hour and you're good for life.

    So I doubt that third very much.

  8. I's prefer if Alexa phone my boss to tell him I can't come in for a couple of days for national health reasons.

    "you have to feed in all sorts of details and mail the documents to the appropriate place and you may end up being called to court... but with the push of a button it seems anyone can start the process"

    It begins...

    Soon millions of lawyers will die from hunger. Can't wait.

    "Unfortunately my iPhone is a 4s and it needs iOS 11.0. How can I sue anyone if I can't even afford to upgrade my 4s? Truly the system is stacked against people like me"

    1. Buy an iPhone XS.
    2. Sue Apple
    3. Return Xs
    4. Profit

  11. I don't see it on Salmon Farmers Are Scanning Fish Faces To Fight Killer Lice (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Face recognition?

    They check for lice and if yes, they retrieve the fish.

    But knowing it was Fishy McFishface27623 who had lice isn't useful as far as I can see from the article.

  12. Re:Wavelength on Sunglasses That Block All the Screens Around You (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    "So their glasses only work with 85-90% of the displays."

    Indeed. So if you want to use them to block out the screens of those damn kids in the movies, don't go where the rich kids hang out with their 1000$ OLED phones.

  13. "It works through a combination of electroencephalograms (EEGs), for recording the electrical impulses that indicate brain activity, and transcranial magnetic stimulation, where neurons are stimulated using magnetic fields."

    It's called a MAGA hat.

  14. Re:Impersonation is a crime on Facebook Is 'Teeming' With Fake Accounts Created By Undercover Cops (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    "Criminal impersonation is a crime"

    -

    'The above doesn't apply to police working in an undercover capacity.'

    Or to people inventing an alias for privacy purposes, which have around 2 billion of the FB accounts.

    Nice business you have here, it would be a shame if something happened to it.

    "Exactly. Thunderbird + access Gmail via POP3. Problem solved. The entire concept of "webmail" is stupid and makes no sense."

    This is for stupid people who use web-mail.
    They also use Excel do do lists and databases and complain if they have formatting or speed problems.
    Just ignore them.

  17. None of them do on Energy Department Proposes Funding For Ohio's First Offshore Wind Project · · Score: 1

    "did not believe that the offshore wind project would cause significant damage to migratory birds"

    None of them do. At least not as much as 0.3 cats.

    "The dealership now usually parks a C-class and another car behind that window, and they keep them lit up in spotlights 24/7. It's not a very tasteful display "

    Sure, in Amsterdam's red light district they show whores for hire exactly the same way.
    Very tasteful.

  21. How about an article about VPT lithium batteries for rebreather divers?
    Those can also dive silently for much longer times than the old compressed air ones and it's useful for us as well.

  22. Re:My New Font Is Called Ophidian Lubrica on Researchers Create 'Sans Forgetica,' a Memory-Boosting Font (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    "Not quite, it will inherently diminish understanding because it simply requires more mental effort to read ie that greater mental effort required to read it, of course stimulates greater recall "

    I thought Courrier and Elite were already perfect for that.

  23. Re: Blood on their hands. on Fully Driverless Waymo Taxis Are Due Out This Year, Alarming Critics (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    "Nothing but Google shills all the way down."

    Not at all. At some point you get elephants and the then Great A'Tuin turtle.

  24. Can't wait on Fully Driverless Waymo Taxis Are Due Out This Year, Alarming Critics (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Currently, there's no comparable requirement for self-driving cars."
