  3. Re: Did not "win" jeopardy on IBM's Watson AI Implanted Into a Robot, Evolves, Can Now Sense Emotions (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes it did "win" jeopardy. You can argue it had an advantage by having a superhuman reaction time, but it still followed the rules and won.

    Why does it have to be innovative to be a good thing? Should they just not do it if it has already been done by someone else?

  8. Re: Welcome to why I run an adblocker on Forbes Asks Readers To Disable Adblock, Serves Up Malvertising (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly the same thing happened with me, I'm glad I decided to just find the news elsewhere.

  9. Re: Those answers drove me crazy. on Randall Munroe Interviewed: Answers In Comic Form (time.com) · · Score: 1

    I kept thinking there must have been something wrong with my browser, had to check the source to make sure.

    Exactly, the writing was on the wall.

  12. Does it matter when you're comparing Intel to Intel?

    Our religious fanatics are too worried about gay marriage to use nukes.

  14. Re: No one is asking YOU on Let's Not Go To Mars · · Score: 2

    Tidal locked to the Earth, not the Sun. The "dark side" is not actually always dark.

    The only winning move is not to play.

  16. Re: Been doing this for few weeks now on Microsoft Is Downloading Windows 10 Without Asking · · Score: 1

    Isn't there an option to not download updates on a metered connection? I know there is in 10.

  17. Re: That was easy on Microsoft Is Downloading Windows 10 Without Asking · · Score: 3, Funny

    You're sticking with Windows 7 because Windows 7 is downloading something without you asking?

    But they make a hell of a space heater.

  21. Re:Isn't this just bulimia? on Dean Kamen Invents Stomach Pump For Dieters · · Score: 1

    How many people are there in the US who love eating but don't want to be fat? Probably not many I guess.

    I'd guess about 300 million.

  23. Re:why all the hating? on Ask Slashdot: Life After Firefox 3.6.x? · · Score: 1

    Agreed, developers need to keep old browsers in mind, but 3 years is an eternity in the fast paced "real world" of the internet. As for graceful degradation, I prefer using progressive enhancement.

  24. Just upgrade already... on Ask Slashdot: Life After Firefox 3.6.x? · · Score: 1

    sheesh. It's better, faster, supports all the latest web standards. Just do it, you won't regret it. FF10 is the new LTS option, so it will be the most stable option going forward, but personally I always have to be on the bleeding edge and am on nightly-ux FF13.

  25. Re:Every time a bell rings on Should There Be a Sci-Fi Category At the Oscars? · · Score: 2

    They both received nominations.
