  1. Re:I have a solution on Study: 8 Million Metric Tons of Plastic Dumped Into Oceans Annually · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That won't work because it would be more expensive to package, so the the stores will close because the $1 item will be priced at $1.50 or $1.75, and people will stop buying krap they don't really need, or only use a couple of times a year.

  2. Still not going to become main stream on Sony, Facebook, Google, Samsung, Apple, and Microsoft Now All Have a Hand In VR · · Score: 1

    This is still a bad idea, I don't care how good the graphics are going to become. I'm sure that this is great for certain applications, like training the military or a doctor, but VR will always be on the fringes. We won't be ridding the bus to work wearing these hugh things playing games the whole time. Here is the main problem, no one will sit extended periods of time wearing that thing on their head when your still basically playing a FPS. This is great for a little bit, but people will give up on it because it will be too much fatigue after a while and that will not be worth it then.

  3. Re:Funniest part for me: The error message in the on Why Lizard Squad Took Down PSN and Xbox Live On Christmas Day · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I tried to get on XBOX Live yesterday, and was having trouble connecting. I figured it was because it was the afternoon and their servers got overloaded with all the people who opened their new systems and tried to get online, and it overloaded the servers. That wouldn't be the first time the xbox servers got overloaded on Christmas. I did a test and it gave me a message right away that it was not my network or isp, it said it was an issue on microsofts side. I tried again like 10 minutes later and it was fine.

  4. Re:Land of the free on Reaction To the Sony Hack Is 'Beyond the Realm of Stupid' · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you've never been to the south side of Chicago. This city has some of the toughest gun laws in the country, but it literately is a warzone. It is not uncommon for 20-50 people being shot on any particular weekend, most of the guns are illegal, and I'm sure a good part of it is gang violence. I totally agree with the above comment, there is never a good middle ground because the pro and anti gun people are both wackjobs. I am firmly pro gun btw, I believe that if we went full open carry like Arizona then alot of that would calm down in a year or two at the most.

  5. Re:About time on LG To Show Off New 55-Inch 8K Display at CES · · Score: 2

    It is easy to get high resolution on a small screen. The problem with the larger screens is that you have ALOT higher rate of defective screens, when you increase the size. Once that happens your cost go up because your basically throwing a bunch of them away.

  6. Re:Inefficient on Microsoft Rolls Out Robot Security Guards · · Score: 1

    The whole point is that it is something people see moving around, it's alot cheaper than a security guard, plus it only takes 1 recharge of 20 minutes a day.

  7. Almost any car from the last 5-10 years should do. on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Hackable Car? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure why you'd want to display the RPM to anyone but the driver, that should be very simple to pull off. The windows SHOULD already work the way you describe, as for the remote starter, those are VERY common now a days and you can get off the shelf parts to in stall one in a few hours.

  8. Re:Dispensing Product on Microsoft Rolls Out Robot Security Guards · · Score: 1

    I agree with the writer of the article, it looks like a modern R2D2. I just want it to follow me around and beep when I say stuff to it.

  9. Re:Place the blame where it belongs on Website Peeps Into 73,000 Unsecured Security Cameras Via Default Passwords · · Score: 2

    Most users don't care about security. If you made setting up a user name and password the first thing the user see before you can do anything else, people would still put a user name as "user" and password as "pass" or "1234"

  10. Re:Why? on Tesla Delays Launch of Model X Until Q3 2015 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It kind of is, they are almost as much of a tech company as a car company, what they do has a big impact.

  11. Re:Sad, regrettable and probably inevitable. on Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo Crashes · · Score: 1

    Look back a few hundred years, people would die crossing the Atlantic Ocean on ships headed for the new world. Those people knew just as well that they might not make it either but they still tried.

  12. Re:Selective? on MPAA Bans Google Glass In Theaters · · Score: 1

    Zero tolerance policy on any recording device, that would include a smart phone.

  13. Re:Anyone still going to the movies? on MPAA Bans Google Glass In Theaters · · Score: 1

    That only happens at the cheap shows now a days, any good place has online ticket purchasing, and/or kiosks when you can get tickets with out standing in line, at most you have to wait for one person in front of you to finish using the machine. Then they have reserved seating so you can actually pick where you want and you can see what seats are used up around you. Yes it's still a bit pricey, it's worth paying the extra dollar a ticket at the good places because they provide a good experience going to the movies.

  14. Re: I don't "gotta have it." on How Apple Watch Is Really a Regression In Watchmaking · · Score: 1

    Yes, except for the touch screen I had everything the first i phone had in my crackberry for at least a year before that.

    Thank you very much, I'll keep my Nexus 5.

  17. Re:Steve Jobs' products changed the world? on The Cult of Elon Musk Shines With Steve Jobs' Aura · · Score: 1

    I agree, for all the praise people give him, all Jobs really did was be a guy that could get people to buy stuff. He invented nothing, he treated his family and friends like shit, I'm not even going how he acted to his employees.

  18. Intel doesn't care about the content on Intel Drops Gamasutra Sponsorship Over Controversial Editorials · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They only care that people are complaining, it's a PR thing. They are pulling their advertising because there is some controversy going on with the site, so it's easier to pull out then pick a side and anger people. Intel would plaster their logo on the side of churches if they knew that people wouldn't complain about it.

  19. Re:Drones are cost effective? on Drones Reveal Widespread Tax Evasion In Argentina · · Score: 1

    I can buy an ok drone with a camera for around $1000 USD, send it 300 feet up in the air and easily see miles in every direction. You just do this a dozen times and you'll have most of a small town. It shouldn't take longer than a day to do, as long as you have enough spare or charged batteries.

    Was there anything that you tried to put in the show they they told you wouldn't be put in because it was to complex, or for some other reason. I know there is a lot of stuff that made it in, but what didn't get in there that you tried for?

    I already see it going down hill fast, corporations need someone with some balls to lead them, to make sure their products arent krap. Whats the big upgrade in the new iphone, a bigger screen and a map app that is totally broke. I will admit I am not a big fan of apple, but they used to at least try to be inovative with thier products. Now its just going ba a crcus over there untill they get some good leadership, of need to get a bailout from a diffrent company.

    Using old hardware makes Jobs angry.... you wont like him when he's angry.... Then he wouldn't like what me and my friends did on sunday. We were walking in the mall in Orland Park, IL so just for fun we go into the apple store and change the back grounds on about half a dozen laptops to the microsoft logo, and the homepages to microsoft.com. Yes we are all nerds.

  25. Re:Inevitable but maybe a good thing on Fellow Hackers Blast Geohot For Sony Settlement · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I agree, in theory I'd love to take on sony with this kind of thing. But when the shit hits the fan and you have a lawyer telling you that you could lose your house and everything you've worked your whole life for then your I'd probably save my own skin too. Anyone that says the guy didn't do enough is an idiot, and they can only say that because they've never been anywhere near that kind of a situation. Companies like $ony have armies of laywers and will look for loopholes that would probably include lawsuits for anyone you've ever met your entire life, no one need that kind of hassle in thier lives. So I think everyone should just let the guy be, he's been trough enough already, and what he did do is alot more than most people.
