  1. 3D printer on Baby's Skull Rebuilt With Help From A 3D Printer (newsday.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I tried to 3D print a replica of my penis, but alas, it wouldn't fit within the build volume of my Ultimaker 2 Extended.

  2. Re:Not just 16x9 please on Foxconn and Sharp Team Up To Build $8.8 Billion LCD Plant In China (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It's an extra inch on a 24" monitor.

  3. Re: Not just 16x9 please on Foxconn and Sharp Team Up To Build $8.8 Billion LCD Plant In China (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm an EE, not a programmer. CAD needs landscape, not portrait.

  4. Re:Not just 16x9 please on Foxconn and Sharp Team Up To Build $8.8 Billion LCD Plant In China (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I'd love a 16:10 monitor in 4K resolution, but it's unobtainable. 16:9 sucks for anything but TV. I'd like to strangle those who put the computer industry in 16:9.

  5. There; now they will never let me buy it. Why use crapware such as HRD when you can use FLDigi? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

  6. Genius; give me a fucking breath on Inside Peter Thiel's Genius Factory (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    So these geniuses are pushing the forefront of technology by writing digital marketing apps, food delivery apps, etc. So sick of this shit and the crap coming out of SV. Call me when you have developed a positronic brain, or some REAL development in computer science. The crash can't come fast enough.

  7. Re: My favourite gifts as a child on Ask Slashdot: What's The Best Geeky Gift For Children? · · Score: 1

    Funny, I took my kids on a tour of a hydro plant last month. Not a sanitized tour either. At least they now know where electricity comes from.

  8. Re:I thought diesel ran cleaner on Paris, Madrid, Athens, Mexico City Will Ban Diesel Vehicles By 2025 (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    After reading a little, looks like the boost can be from 15 to 40 PSI over ambient pressure.

  9. Re:I thought diesel ran cleaner on Paris, Madrid, Athens, Mexico City Will Ban Diesel Vehicles By 2025 (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Though aren't most diesels these days turbocharged? Is the boost enough to greatly increase the actual air displaced?

  10. Some of the Dr. Who were already lost, and reconstructed by fans from audio and photographs, though I believe some were found recorded in Nigeria.

  11. Re: More important question on Religious Experiences Have Similar Effect On Brain As Taking Drugs, Study Finds (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    That would be muslin.

  12. Re: More important question on Religious Experiences Have Similar Effect On Brain As Taking Drugs, Study Finds (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    I'd call Islam a cult bent bent on world domination. Convert or die.

  13. Is it the Church of LDS, or church of LSD?

  14. Re: 10x more job loss than coal on Self-Driving Trucks Begin Real-World Tests on Ohio's Highways (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 2

    Maybe not nutritious food to heat up, but frozen burritos can be had for $0.25 each in bulk. Three of those a day and you are set.

  15. Re:Karma on One Third of California's Trees Are Dead (sfgate.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well most populous areas of CA would be a desert wasteland if it were not for civil engineering. Maybe ought to let it revert it it's natural environment.

  16. Re:If confirmed, does this make it realistic? on Final NASA Eagleworks Paper Confirms Promising EM Drive Results (hacked.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe when it is relativistically heavy enough it can no longer accelerate?

  17. Tech docs on Slashdot Asks: Is Paperless Office a Dream? (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I need paper for technical documents; non-contiguous reading such has quickly flipping between equations and figures located on different pages than text. Screens suck for that.

  18. Re:BBS on Re-Discovering The 'Lost Civilization' of Dial-Up BBS's (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    I believe the Commodore floppy drive had a bug which was reoponsible for slow operation. Too late to fix it, so it was stuck.

  19. Typical of today's programmer on Spotify Is Writing Massive Amounts of Junk Data To Storage Drives (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Bandwidth, memory, clock cycles....don't matter. Use more shitty layers of abstraction over layers built into high level languages, then kick it out the door.

  20. I'd like to see Nebraska cut the food off to California, and those other Western states cut off the water.

  21. Re:Better cost a LOT less on New Tesla Buyers Will Have To Pay To Use Superchargers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh BS. The whole selling point of the Tesla is the +200 mile range. I live in Kansas City. The next big city west is Denver at 540 miles, which is 9 hours. The next city east is St. Louis at 240 miles, a 4 hour trip. Am I going to plug into a 120V, 15A outlet for +24 hrs in central KS. No, I will use a supercharger. Despite what people say in this thread, the superchargers are for road trips. Look at the f'in map; they are long interstates.

  22. Re:Better cost a LOT less on New Tesla Buyers Will Have To Pay To Use Superchargers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    For a long road trip, it is the only source of energy. At least that was the point of the supercharger; put them along interstates between large cities. Than again, I don't even own an electric car. I suppose though that if the supercharger is the only thing between you and running out of juice, you'll pay through the whazoo. Electricity for cars is supposed to be cheap, nowhere near comparable to a gas fill-up.

  23. Better cost a LOT less on New Tesla Buyers Will Have To Pay To Use Superchargers (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It had better cost a hell of a lot less than filling up a comparable gas car.

  24. Re:Are you mental? on FBI: Review of New Emails Doesn't Change Conclusion on Clinton (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    "All the non Americans voting for Hillary": Could be very consistent with the real election.

  25. The issue is deleting the emails to cover up her her activity, not to mention smashing the phones.
