  2. Re:DEC Tag? on You Are Still Watching a Staggering Amount Of TV Every Day (recode.net) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is DEC still even around? I vote that Slashdot takes down the DEC logo since the editors seem to be too young to understand that Digital is/was a company. Putting their logo on this story is as pointless as putting Apple's logo on a story about fruits vendors on street corners.

    It's called headphones and a portable music player.

    You can get a tiny, screen-less MP3 player on eBay for under $2.

    A vocal few people need SD cards and swappable batteries.

    Funny, that argument wasn't valid when Apple launched the iPhone.

    It did require some modifications to the space-time continuum, but I can now waste 26 hours 44 minutes and 16.9 seconds on Slashdot every day.

    You can't read books at any speed you like. Some authors write slower than others.

    Dude, look at our cellphone plans, our cellular and wired Internet speeds, our monthly quotas and how much we pay for it. As far as telecommunications are concerned, we already are a 3rd world country.

    Only if they got paid enough money by the drug companies.

    Because they're used to viruses and infections?

    Assuming the attack goes undetected and only targets the administrator login/password, not much time will be needed for an attack.

    And you underestimate the power of the buyers. Remember how the 3rd-generation iPod shuffle didn't have any buttons? That experiment failed, so the fourth-generation iPod shuffle had buttons, just like the 1st and 2nd generations.

    If something is moving on the page, it prevents me from reading. Why can't we just do static PNGs and JPEGs?

    If the items are so large that a single person cannot carry them, you're better off using Purolator, DHL, FedEx or UPS.

    If the packages are too big or there's no many of them, you usually get a card telling you that you can come get your package at the nearest post office. Canada Post also teams up with a lot of places to have a small Canada Post service counter inside so you're never really far from a drop/pick-up point.

    Do you have a link about that? The PodRide project on IndieGogo could use that kind of information.

    You see the bigger doors at the bottom? If you get a package, the key to the door is left in your mailbox so you can open the bigger door to get your package.

  20. iMessages messing up because I don't use iCloud is Apple's problem.

    So you're never buying any laptop from any company, right? Because a lot of laptops have Sony batteries in them. They could also have a Sony camera.

    ...the cell was a dumb idea.

    It was still strong enough to defeat two androids.

  23. Everyone running Kodi and console emulators are running Linux on it, even if they don't know it.

  24. How many people were effected by this [...]?

    If you read the Slashdot comments at the time, it was probably over 9000 users.

    Well, human employees don't fall from the sky and cause property damage, injury and death.

    Well, I guess you don't know my friend Steve Austin. He used to be an astronaut, you know. His last crash cost him about six million dollars, man.
