    That got flushed out in February of last year.

    It's relatively easy to make pancakes from scratch. Look up a recipe and be daring: make some and be proud!

    It needs to be hand-coded by a team of artisans in assembly language.

  4. Re: LSD affinity: LSD acts on much more than 5-HT2 on Breakthrough Study Reveals How LSD Dissolves a Person's Sense of Self (newatlas.com) · · Score: 2

    The problem is that in today's culture, it seems like 'getting wasted' is the objective of drug use. Drink some beer, take some speed and maybe some shrooms, man. Get bent.

    Chemicals are a tool, to be used with care. 'Tripping' shouldn't be a 'gee, wow!' roller coaster ride.

    But this amounts to preaching to the choir, I imagine, on /.

  5. Isn't that a Word Processor. The Raspberry Pi is a pedagogical computer. For use by school kids. What use would they have for a Word Processor. The RPi has it's own port of Minecraft. Isn't that what's important?

  6. Re:Still won't run on coin battery on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Benchmarks Show Significantly Improved Performance (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    The Raspberry Pi is intended as a low cost pedagogical computer. The Foundation spends more time working with educators to develop curriculum for the R Pi than they do making it 'the hot new leading edge tech.' It's a low cost single board for kids to use for learning in school.

  7. Tux Racer on Ask Slashdot: Can FOSS Help In the Fight Against Climate Change? · · Score: 2

    A free software package, Tux Racer, could help in the fight against Climate Change. No, I'm not talking about the Tux Racer game as we all, ahem, normally play it. This would be a version where the player moves a cardboard cutout 'tux' down the 'screen' (a big sheet of cardboard.)

    The energy savings would be immense, though Steam would lose a lot of revenue.

    A real company lets a user listen to their music.

    A real company (Apple) is vigorously working to change the market so that 'free streaming of music' is a thing of the past.

    Jobs was a boomer. For cripes sake, I am a boomer, and I'm a half decade younger than Jobs.

    It is really, really important for almost none of us to ever read the agreement. Because we're building the precedent. As you implied, nobody reads that crap. I always say 'toodle-doo' and click through. I would testify that I do so if pressed in a court to say so.

    Someday it's gonna all evaporate because of the precedent being developed. Nobody reads the click-thru, and it's thus unenforceable.

    Well, to be kind would be to say he was stolen from us by a culture of charlatans that he chose to immerse himself into.

    Jobs was at best a magpie. The thing going through his head every day was 'steal the shiney!'

  14. Bumer, man. on Breakthrough Study Reveals How LSD Dissolves a Person's Sense of Self (newatlas.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can't imagine dropping acid and then just lying in an MRI scanner.

  15. This whole story is about somebody playing "don't step on a crack and break mom's back" head games.

    It's really not worthy of a whole slashdot thread.

    Disappointing, editors.

    The holdovers from WW2 are all in nursing homes now.

  17. Where did anybody talk about a 'criminal state' or 'slavery'?

    Are you kidding? This is Australia we are talking about. Unless you're far-left or far-right that kind of talk is just nuts. (if you're far-left or far-right talk like that is normal maintenance of your fantasy bubble)

  18. If you think the most egregious thing about the way Apple operates is 'the notch' you're seriously deluded.

    Apple is the momma bear who will always protect you. The problem is, that means you're just a bear cub and always will be. Now eat your grubs and berries like a good little cub.

    Zuckboy was planning on running as a Democrat for President in the next election. This whole 'crisis' might be a smear to prevent that. Or part of the campaign to make it happen. The one thing for certain is that Zucker is not a Trump supporter.

  21. Re: Hopefully Investors Continue to Scrape FB's on Facebook Scraped Call, Text Message Data For Years From Android Phones (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple only started shitting in people's website comments with 'smartquotes' in a fairly recent update. Why did they roll out needless shit that breaks functionality??

    Who am I kidding? They're Apple, it's in their heritage.

  22. Facebook does not need 'regulating' because that just hardens up the market they are in, making it harder for competing services to enter.

    Facebook needs to be broken up. If they want to be an 'identity' company that indexes everybody, that is a service they can provide so long as they are open, and other Social Network companies can plug into their identity services.

    The social network part of Facebook should be split away into a separate company.

    If the Identity entity can't be self-sustaining without the Social Network/Advertising entity, then the Identity part should become 'regulated' which is also known sometimes as 'nationalized.' Facebook and Google, Microsoft, etc. can then plug into the unified 'Identity Service.'

  23. The takeaway is that we are all victims of Android, but some pay significantly more (for an Apple iGadget) and don't even get the Android phone to use.

  24. Apple will make a lot of money attacking 'the notch' as ugly as soon as they have something notchless to sell to the sheeple.
