  1. Maybe not going to happen in the land of lawyers for quite awhile, but it would be great if some company in the world could start using and testing in real cars.

  2. Re: neighbor on Ask Slashdot: Cost Effective Way To Soundproof My Home? · · Score: 1

    It might be possible to sleep in your car a few nights around your potential new house and see what's up. Realistically most neibourhoods seem to have annoying barking dogs, and if that's the worst of it, you're lucky.

  3. Interesting idea on Chipotle Plans To DNA Test Produce After E-Coli Outbreaks In Nine States · · Score: 1

    Glad to hear they are trying something different. I am just recovering from a so called food-born-illness from a different restaurant and it was sure nasty. Stuck on the toilet with a bucket for puking for over 12 hours is not pleasant nor are the days after.

  4. Re: How is airbnb a tech company? on Airbnb Dethrones Google As the Best Tech Company To Work For In the US · · Score: 1

    The old incontinent outage test, yes I've worked for a few tech companies.

  5. competition is awesome on Samsung Enters Auto Industry To Make Electronics For Autonomous Cars (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Look forward to seeing what they come up with.

  6. Re: It's almost like a fetish on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Moving To Per-Core Licensing (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I think the fetish analogy should be the financial domination fetish.

  7. Re:Too much hype about driverless cars on How Much Will Autonomous Cars Really Help? (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    Yup, then you see them at the next red light, and the next, day after day on the way to work.

  8. Re: Cracked solder joint on Air Asia Pilot Response Leads To Plane Crashing (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounded like the solder joint caused a warning to go off several times, in attempt to stop the annoying sound they turned off and on a circuit breaker, which then disabled the auto pilot. For some reason they weren't able to fly the plane without auto pilot.

  9. Re:It reminds me on Los Angeles Flirts With Pre-Crime (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    On "black friday" I had someone yell at me for parking in a handicap parking spot, until I pointed the the sign that actually said for parents with small children only (of which I had my two small children in the car... false positives are guaranteed to happen.

  10. Re:Corruption or Stupidity. Pick one. on Italy Invests 150 Million Euros In Surveillance, With Emphasis On PS4 Chats (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Great excuse for government officials to buy 50 million worth of PS4s and games and spend the other 100 Million man-hours playing video games.

  11. Reminds me of the movie fight club where the guy supposedly worked for a car company, and part of his job was working with formulas to determine if the cost of lawsuits from deaths would be higher than the recall cost. Nice to see a car company obviously concerned with safety first.

  12. Re:Don't Use This! on Microsoft To Provide New Encryption Algorithm For the Healthcare Sector · · Score: 1

    Okay, that was funny. Where are my mod points when I need them?

  13. Little bobby tables... on BadBarcode Attack Forces Host System To Carry Out Commands (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1
  14. Re:more stats please . . . on Laser Strikes On Aircraft Increasing In Frequency (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't have to be blinded by a laser to receive eye damage. How much laser eye damage would you like to receive before you're allowed to complain?

  15. Re: Shame on WordPress Now Powers 25% of the Web · · Score: 1

    Concrete5 is pretty good.

  16. Interesting on Amazon Follows Through: Drops Apple TV, Chromecast · · Score: 1

    It would get really interesting if Google would block Amazon from their search results, and Apple from their computers in response.

  17. Re:I default boot to Windows for TSA, customs cler on Hackers, Activists, Journos: How To Build a Secure Burner Laptop (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I for one sure don't. I'm just here to troll and annoy people in general.

  18. Re: Weather of Climate? on Landfall Nears For Strongest Hurricane In Recorded History (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Watch out when the storms upgrade to fibre!

  19. Re:It seems like paper products... on Google Releases Improved Cardboard SDK and Adds Street View (blogspot.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think they want to encourage growth, and ideas within the VR area, and to do that quickly you need to make it cheap, accessible and easy to ship.

  20. Agreed, I started glueing mine to my head, looks cool and I get better reception!

  21. Guess who on Volkswagen Boss Blames Software Engineers For Scandal (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Guess who drew the shortest straw...

  22. Re: what's the problem? on $50 Fire Tablet With High-capacity SDXC Slot Doesn't See E-books On the SD Card · · Score: 1

    I love the 128 gig SD cards for movies on my d6633.

  23. Re:A Jeep will beat a Corvette sometimes, too. on The WWII-Era Inspired Plane Giving the F-35 a Run For Its Money · · Score: 1

    True, that's why a vehicle or aircraft designed to be the best at everything, will be good at nothing...

  24. Re:Its all in the taxes and incentives. on How Wind and Politics Pushed the Price of Texas Electricity Below Zero · · Score: 1

    Also the hospital costs associate with lung cancer, asthma etc are extremely high, just harder to calculate over the longer term.

    You don't choose Malware, good malware chooses you.
