    Adolf Hitler"

  3. "overcrowed" obviously means, when there are a lot of crows. :-)

  4. IOW that's reason why we such precise traffic reports for some time additionally to the best times to go to a restaurant, a movie theater, a sauna, a spa, etc. because it reports when it's overcrowed and when not.
    It's a good thing.
    Thank you, Google.

  7. Don't care on Firefox vs Chrome: Speed and Memory (laptopmag.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Tell us which one is faster to remove all the ads, shutting up all the audio and video, blocking facebook , pinterest and twitter buttons, preventing fingerprinting and trackers, blocking webRTC and all 30 external javascript links that each page seems to 'need' these days and ... then we can talk.

    says NO, it's the law.

  10. Teens see all their so-called friends' styled up, filtered and photoshopped pictures, so they think everybody has a better life than themselves, small wonder they get depressed.

    Nobody posts pictures of themselves from Monday mornings, when the shadows around their eyes make them look like a Panda.

  11. Wake me up when some students can create a stable plasma penis in the air, then I believe they can handle the tech.

  12. Not getting the naysayers on Walmart Says It's Preordered 15 of Tesla' New Semi Trucks (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    IOW parents are now forced to give their kids a more expensive Apple iWatch.
    Good job, lobbyists!

  15. I'd prefer that they spent a few billions on the people they defrauded and also spend lots of years in jail.

    "A truck stop for cars is what I'm seeing."

    Exactly If you ate that burger in the In-and-Out and the employee didn't wash his hands, you'll have amply time for the out-portion of that burger.

  18. Everthing is called differently now.

    Hitchhiking is called Ubering, your granny's bed-and-breakfast is now called Airbnb, mooching off your friends is now called Couchsurfing and living with Roomates are no longer a Hippie-Commune but Co-living.

  19. Normal on Why is this Company Tracking Where You Are on Thanksgiving? (theoutline.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It's the Russians, who got you to vote for orange Hitler, thus dividing the country and now they are checking how badly they divided your families as well.
    So if you celebrate with your parents, they'll adapt their ads until you don't talk anymore to your dad and uncle after the 2018 vote.

  20. "the reason freight is mentioned, is that there aren't that many people who would be willing to pay more for a tube journey than air."

    Other than the couple of hundred millions Indians afraid of flying you mean?

  21. "freight? - there must be a better, more cost-effective way to move freight across India, rather than a hyperloop..."

    You mean because of their many fantastic free- and highways?

    "Someone on youtube commented that the batteries add about 20,000 or 40,000 lbs extra weight compared to a diesel truck. That will reduce the total capacity of payload these trucks can carry, won't it?"

    That's why they removed the large Diesel motor, the transmission, cooling, fuel and water tanks .....

    Also I read a few days ago, that some mining companies use giant electric trucks to move 60 tons of materiel down the mountain (generating electricity) and empty back up the mountain, so they generate more energy than they use.
    They have to go to the power outlet only once after each shift, not to load, but to _unload_ their surplus electricity.

  23. "if these people are so smart why do they have to come to the U.S.? Why don't they have companies and universities that are just as good as the U.S.?"

    Sure, but if they don't immigrate, you won't ever get a Nobel prize anymore in the future.
