    Heh.

    There was some genuine geekiness in the beginning but it is all gone now. Now its a show about stupid obnoxious people trying to seem smart... not at all as fun as it was in the beginning when it was about nice people with personality problems.

    Heh, yeah. You liked Big Bag Theory back when it was underground.

    An automated vehicle can call for help and, as for shooting, you've just described saving human lives.

    What would a driver be able to do about it?

  5. You work in windowed interface. When the pixel density goes up, the importance of aspect ratio goes down.

    Fragmentation is why Google is going to have a hard time containing these vulnerabilities. The number of phones that will never be fixed is shockingly high.

    "The UI is just a lot more elegant and intuitive" implies that 7zip's interface is not intuitive as compared to WinRAR."

    Yes, that is the statement the OP made. You responded as if he had said:

    7zip is unintuitive.

    Which is a statement he did not make.

    Congratulations on winning the dumbass award.

    Mmm Hm.

    7zip isn't intuitive? How dumb do you have to be to type something like that.

    Surprisingly less dumb than somebody who responds to a remark that wasn't actually made.

  11. Question... on iOS 9 'Wi-Fi Assist' Could Lead To Huge Wireless Bills · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have a question about wifi-assist: If it kicks in doesn't it tell the phone wifi is off? I ask because iOS prevents lots of things from happening over a cellular connection. For example: You cannot do a system update, you cannot download apps larger than a certain file size (last I checked it was 50 megabytes), and apps like Netflix have a "don't use cellular" switch. It seems to me that, assuming that those switches aren't bypassed, the likelihood of a ridiculous bill seems minimal.

    Pardon my skepticism, I'm one of the grandfathered unlimited customers with shitty wifi at work who is continually annoyed by these artificial limitations. I'd actually benefit from it if Apple went that far out of their way and fucked up that bad.

    Hasn't the ocean temperature been rising this entire time?

    At this point, it is not a theorem. It is a fact since the scientists have voted. It is a law.

    It's also a law that Rush Limbaugh fans must be easy to spot even when they post anonymously.

    Why would light be better at making faster processors than electricity? Is there a natural advantage that light has over electricity that they're dying to tap into?

    Actually if you saw the difference the sensors, touchpad, and the glass make compared to the ~$20ish Cardboard you'd feel differently.

    Actually it's a plastic box with an accelerometer and pretty decent lenses (that are actually glass, unlike what's in Cardboard...) that are adjustable so you don't have to have your glasses on while you're wearing it.

    All three of your examples describe a critical difference to what happened in Texas: Suspicious things were left alone to be discovered. In this case the kid showed his clock to people.

    The kid's clock, once opened to show the insides, really does look like it could be a home-made bomb, at least by Hollywood standards.

    Apparently it didn't.

  25. Re:MacBook Pro on Ask Slashdot: Recommendations For a Reliable Linux Laptop? · · Score: 1

    My Macbooks were all about $2,300 each, give or take a little. Most of the non-Apple laptops I had were between $1,000 and $1,500. One of the Toshibas I had was a little over $2,000 and the Dell I had was $2,200. The one non-Apple laptop I had that at least behaved well was a second-hand business-class Compaq from the late 90's, I don't know what it originally sold for.
