  1. Experience on Data Research Reveals When Taking a Yellow Cab Is Cheaper Than an Uber · · Score: 1, Insightful

    In a yellow cab, you have to deal with often times 25 year old vehicles in poor condition, the dispatcher blaring on the radio the whole ride. You can call a cab, and there is no guarantee one will show up, and not to mention the tip you're expected to bestow. In Uber... you get a new, higher end black car or SUV and you don't have to tip, the cars have always been clean... and unless you were one of the handful of well publicized incidents... the experience is much more classy and high end then an old yellow cab. You get what you pay for.

    Better to go with the latest greatest from Motorola, SBG6782AC that is built by Arris than any of the other approved BYoM equipment

    The author originally wanted to use the New York Yankees as the focus... However, he was unable to capture enough examples of Yankee batters making contact with a baseball during the ALCS to complete the study.

  5. Re:US on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Place To Relocate? · · Score: 1

    Yes, come to the US. But if you do, you'll soon realize that the debt "problem" doesn't fit into our narrative of how great we are.

    Free refills in Manhattan? Yeah right!

  7. Re:God's experiment in free will on Debate Over Evolution Will Soon Be History, Says Leakey · · Score: 1

    The sooner the entire world can bury all their holy books in the trash heap of history, the better.

  8. Re:The Animals should take priority on Ask Slashdot: How To Feed Africa? · · Score: 1

    I believe its worth more for humanity to preserve the wildest and most beautiful place on Earth instead of dumping fertilizer all over it.

  9. The Animals should take priority on Ask Slashdot: How To Feed Africa? · · Score: 1

    Leave Africa alone... If the wild animals are more suited to thrive in that pristine natural environment, then humans and agriculture should not take priority. The great wilderness and wildlife depend on it, and would be significantly diminished with a human population boom.

  10. Keep a structured routine on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Tips For Working From Home? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Once upon a time I WFH'd for ~ 5 years with occasional travel and trips into the office. I was home alone all day with no one to distract me but myself. I increased my satisfaction and productivity by identifying and correcting some bad habits I developed early on. I suggest you keep a routine you are comfortable with and try to stick to it. Try to do the things you would do if you were going to head into the office and be face to face with people. Simple things like waking up to an alarm, brushing your teeth, shaving, showering, getting out of the pajamas all before starting work at a set time. Instituting that type of structure allowed me stop taking conference calls in my underwear with a 3 day beard, stinking to high hell with a bowl of Cap'n Crunch. By getting ready for work, I felt like I was respecting the job and my responsibilities by not anonymously being a slob. (Not that I don't long for those days in my current role....

    We don't need no, thought control. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat

  13. Not the Tailgaters Fault on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: -1, Troll

    People who drive the speed limit in the fast lane (thats the left most lane for some of you) should be fined. Not the people who are trying to drive the appropriate, 10 mph+ over the speed limit and get past these highway artery clogs. Phoenix, specifically has horrible drivers. Too many of the illegals there just do not grasp the concept of "slower traffic keep right" Maybe because they can't read English. So do your part and get over for the people who are in a hurry for no other reason than they like to drive fast (but safe)

  14. Start With This Company on How To Sue the Auto Dialers · · Score: 1

    If you have gotten a call from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), National Rifle Association (NRA), or any of a plethora of disingenuous, zealous, dime-wringing bible thumping organizations... than point your finger at this company. http://www.infocision.com/ They have tons of dialers.
