  1. Re:This sounds expensive for the hardware on Microsoft's Surface Hub 2S Starts at $8,999, Ships in June (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    No; Surface/Pixelsense uses a different type of screen; instead of just R/G/B output pixels, it has an IR sensor integrated into each pixel. The screen requires it's own production line, circuitry, cables, etc.

    So not just a huge screen with detection tacked on, it's a limited production run of huge electronically unique screens just for Microsoft.

  2. OS/2 on Is The Linux Desktop In Trouble? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    I just want OS/2 back.

  3. It's just the story of C3PO and R2D2

  4. Re:Create a new account on Why Social Media Users Have Trouble Reclaiming Hijacked Accounts (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 1

    Fun fact, in some state, like Washington I know of, social media impersonation is a crime in and of itself.

    "Humble" is a long running joking nickname for the MOST telescope: https://www.astrobio.net/retro...

  6. Re: gee-eye-eff on What's The Correct Way to Pronounce 'GIF'? (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    I just don't enjoy wasting time arguing over pronunciation for the 1000th time in 30 years.

  7. It probably is; but they disable the first 8 cores that fail testing, to get enough production quantity.

    I know Microsoft Windows dev team has had access to prototype 128 core systems for years

    don't expect the left hand to know what the right is doing.

  10. Re:Hmmm... on Music Labels Sue Charter, Complain That High Internet Speeds Fuel Piracy (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, slow speed means download in order to replay; while high speed means paid/ad supported streaming become viable revenue sources for them.

    Piracy is a customer convenience problem.

  11. Re:Watch 20 minutes of ads on New App Gives Free Movie Tickets To People Who Watch 15 Minutes of Ads (indiewire.com) · · Score: 1

    Or associated toys/merch for movies set in fantasy worlds.

  12. Re: A better deal 100% free & works... apk on New App Gives Free Movie Tickets To People Who Watch 15 Minutes of Ads (indiewire.com) · · Score: 1

    Jokes on you. I've legally changed my real name to 'Anonymous Coward' and am filing suit for identity theft against /.

  13. Re:fucking idiots on The Washington Post Decries 'Toxicity' in Videogames (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Might prevent his death to have the police aware of the situation before a swatting.

    Here's a tip: Slashdot is garbage now; I only come to laugh at the crazy people.

  17. We're ALWAYS in an emergency. on Texas Lawmaker Wants To Ban Mobile Throttling In Disaster Areas (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1
  18. It was mixed trash, but the distinctive smell of burning plastic flooded the neighborhood on those days.

  19. Ugh, I had to call the fire department to give a fine in order to stop my neighbor illegally burning toxic plastic in their wood designed fireplace.

    It's not just a bad smell, it triggered illness in multiple people in the neighborhood when they did it, and they just wouldn't stop when asked.

    There is a third requirement, a solution must always be available.

  22. Re:Sort of on Bitcoin is Worth Less Than the Cost To Mine It (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    That is exactly what I meant.

    The problem is who, or what defines 'useful'.

  23. Re:Sort of on Bitcoin is Worth Less Than the Cost To Mine It (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    A cryptocurrency powered by useful work won't actually work due to game theory; someone *will* find a way to cheat.

    I think it was the 'your' issue.
