  1. Judging and The Olympics on Should Professional Sports Switch To Robot Referees? (hpe.com) · · Score: 1

    Anything judged by people instead of being measured (time, distance, counts, yes/no) should be out of The Olympics. End of conversation.

  2. Re:I remember a lot of people defending Uber on Uber Driver Was Streaming Hulu Just Before Fatal Self-Driving Car Crash, Says Police (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Can anyone else remember a point to self-driving cars other than being able to do other things while the car drives? I sure can't.
    Because it's safer? We'll apparently not in this case.
    Umm... Why am I pay extra for self driving cars again?

  3. Because Twitter is accessible from raw SMS

    Really? I've never heard of that. Is it like an RSS feed?
    - Dohzer, Twitter User Level: 0.5.

  4. News? on How Twitter Made the Tech World's Most Unlikely Comeback (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    leading to a decision to focus on news as Facebook pulled back

    I really don't use Twitter much, but where is the news on Twitter? Do I actively need to subscribe to news vendors?
    All I ever see are posts by random tech-personalities telling me what kind of coffee they like and how their projects are travelling. Is that the 'news' they're referring to?

  5. Re:Are we sure it's a good idea? on Nintendo and Microsoft Team Up To Promote Cross-Play, While Sony Remains Silent (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    If they do add keyboard and mouse support, then how am I meant to keep hating on consoles? Surely inferior hardware isn't enough of a reason alone.

  6. Re:Still too expensive on Nvidia Appears To Have A GPU Inventory Problem (seekingalpha.com) · · Score: 1

    Ahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. "Just make them cheaper". Nice one! Classic joke.

  7. I'm eagerly awaiting the time when robots can correct human brainwaves. That's when things get interesting.

  8. Re:Trump proves not all Billionaires are smart on Gmail Proves That Some People Hate Smart Suggestions (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    What do Billionaires have to do with Trump?
    Have we even seen his accounts yet?

  9. Re: Simple question on Personal Flying Machine Contest Gets 600 Entries (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Rush hour becomes dodge hour. Or failed-rotor hour.

  10. Re:Just a Thought on Uber Seeks Patent For AI That Determines Whether Passengers Are Drunk (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure there is: always travel at a speed at which you can stop in the event of the unexpected.
    Of course, that may mean extremely slow rides and sad passengers (especially the wealthy ones), but it would work.

  11. Just a Thought on Uber Seeks Patent For AI That Determines Whether Passengers Are Drunk (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While they're at it, can they patent a car that doesn't kill pedestrians?

  12. Re:Really? on 'Waluigi Was Robbed and Humiliated by Nintendo' (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    June Fools! Punk'd!

  13. Hmmm on Facebook May Ban Bad Businesses From Advertising (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Does Facebook ever advertise their business on Facebook?

  14. Same Same on The Internet Is Finally Going To Be Bigger Than TV Worldwide (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    Is this that old "I don't watch TV, I only watch [insert internet-delivered TV service]" chestnut where people claim they're not one and the same?

  15. Oh great... are we going to get Steve Jobs testifying in front of congress now?

  16. Sure, they understand '0', but do they understand what happens when you put a '1' or a '2' in front of it?
    I bet they don't.

  17. When were these ROMs developed and lost?! How long were they lost for?! Key information left out of the summary!

  18. Re:Isn't Android doing this since years? on Apple Is Testing a Feature That Could Kill Police iPhone Unlockers (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I am stunned that this is how Apple has been doing it!

  19. Is that the same thing as the xbone?

  20. Re:What's a tablet? on Google Quits Selling Tablets (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    It's what mothers give their kids to distract them when in a Stroller at the supermarket. Or anywhere. Or any time.

  21. Buzzwords? I believe you mean "#hashtags".

  22. Re:Can you steal something that is already stolen? on PUBG and Epic Games, Makers of Two of the World's Most Popular Video Games, Set To Battle in Court (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless DayZ has changed significantly in the last five years, it's nothing like PUBG. DayZ is a massive map zombie survival game with PvP action. No simultaneous aircraft drop, no contracting circle, no care packages, no hope.

  23. Wait... on How WIRED lost $100,000 in Bitcoin (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute... someone LOST money on Bitcoin?!
    I've never heard of anyone admitting that. Only that they made some money, got their original investment out, and then lost the profit, or that they made Lambo-kinda money.

  24. Nice try, but YouTube has videos AND music.

  25. Re:"Mainstream music sounds the same" on Increasing Similarity of Billboard Songs · · Score: 1

    Thank-you for exposing me to a billion-view YouTube artist that I have never heard of.
