  1. no you wont - coming from the broadband backwater of australia, you'll get over subscribed 4/5G cells as everyone jumps off whatever their current connection is.just because the wirless product it has 'fiber' in its name, doesnt make it as fast

  2. I have known people who worked at Amazon and hate it

    I work with azure and I hate it - does that count?

  3. what about the customer's rights? on Texas Lawmakers Want To Stop Tesla From Fixing Its Own Cars (electrek.co) · · Score: 2

    but now dealers are even going after Tesla's right to service its cars.

    what about the customer right to get their car serviced through someone of their choosing? i thought capitalist america was ostensibly all about customer choice?

  4. Bing recommends piracy for peyote 2019? on The Decline of American Peyote (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Maybe check the links in the article, editor?

  5. Re:At least NYC has something... on Why New York City Stopped Building Subways (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    I live in Sydney too - the money spent on rail here is mismanaged, while the money spent on roads is inadequate and applauded by those in power for minimal gains (M4 widening). Turning the Bankstown line in to a 'metro' (light rail) is a short sighted idea, when population density increases will demand heavy rail to move the required number of people soon to come, trying to get to work. Having different gauges for different sections of track also seem ludicrous - why wouldn't you want your rolling stock able to be deployed anywhere on the light rail network? why does the northwest link get its own driverless section thats different to everything else? dont even get me started on the mess that is the timetable...

  6. Wasn't this already in a movie? on Scientists Accidentally Create Mutant Enzyme That Eats Plastic Bottles (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Didn't The Andromeda Strain have something similar?

  7. App streaming? on Munich Plans New Vote on Dumping Linux For Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 2

    Could you not use something like Citrix Xenapp (as an example) to stream the non compatible apps to the linux desktops, instead of changing the OS? This would kind of be the best of both worls as you can keep your free open source desktops, but run the business line apps you require that work on windows?

  8. Isn't this Capitalism? on Is Amazon Lowering The Global Rate of Inflation? (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Global competition, cheaper prices, customer choice - aren't these the very tenets of Capitalism that has been lauded for so long? So now *too much* Capitalism is a bad thing?

  9. If I have devices in 2 separate rooms, how would they communicate? Does it have some high speed ethernet over power built in?

  10. Why do people think this? on What Happens When Software Companies Are Liable For Security Vulnerabilities? (techbeacon.com) · · Score: 1

    > Even with the move toward more agile development and DevOps, vulnerabilities continue to take off. Why do people think Agile and DevOps is going to fix poor security implementation in software? This statement makes no sense.

  11. When did the big bang happen though? on The Vatican Invites World's Leading Scientists To Discuss Cosmology (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    6,000 years ago? How do christians who believe the earth is 6,000 years old resolve both evolution AND the big band theory with current doctrine and dogma, when the very institution who sets these believes in both?

  12. So, just like the other version of internet explorer that were too hard to separate from windows?

  13. Of course its a great idea! on Is Australia Becoming A Cashless Society? (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    Think of all the lovely money a service charge per transaction will generate! As long as that 2020 is on an NBN time scale, we'll be ok.

  14. Knowledge sharing on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Care About Tech Conferences? · · Score: 1

    It might be through the technical track, or it might be through networking, but you may learn how to do something you have always done one way, in a different, better way. OR you may tell somebody else the cool thing that you have done, and they think 'Wow thats so much better than our existing process!'
    The sharing of idea's can pay off handsomely.

  15. 3 * 45 is 135?

  16. Does not offer 100% protection on Norton Announces Core, a Smart Router To Protect Domestic IoT Devices (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    On the product page there is a link to a youtube video - at 00:26 it says 'And protect them from malware"...at the bottom of the video in small writing it ALSO says 'Core does not give you 100% protection' - does that mean I dont have to give you 100% of my subscription fee if malware gets through?

  17. If this is the last console generation on Microsoft Says Upcoming Project Scorpio Might Be the Last Console Generation (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    How will I get in to 8K gaming when it comes? Will Scorpio give that to me?

  18. hasn't it happened before where the torrent files are being provided by the rights holders themselves, to get the ip's of users? because ot the way torrents work, they are actually uploading the file as well and can be prosecuted as sharing the file?

  19. 1 of 3 things will happen if this comes to pass on Microsoft, Google, Apple Could Be Requested To Actively Block Pirated Downloads, Says Report (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    if its on windows and decently good at checking torrents by traffic signature, either A) people will just not install the update, or B) a new file sharing protocol will become popular. if its no good at checking torrents via traffic, could you just rename the file to something else and use it that way?

  20. Landlord is already getting paid the market rate on Landlords Want a Share of Renters' Airbnb Revenue (thestack.com) · · Score: 0

    why should they care if the tenant is making some money? if they do care so much, why not offer the apartment as an airbnb stay location themselves? looks like they want to get paid AND not have the hassle of having to manage it - in that case, does it make the renter an employee and are they entitled to payment?

  21. How does GIMP make money? on 20 Years of GIMP (gimp.org) · · Score: 1

    Does it at all? Is it completely a labour of love? I havent used it in a while, but it was (is?) ad free - is that still the case?

    powershell gives you objects with properties. vbscript gives you string cutting/concatenatation/parsing.

  23. Just because well known ports were open on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Doesnt mean those services were running on them. You can run a VPN on any port you want - the standard ports are just for ease of configuration.

  24. What Nintendo needs to learn from Ingress... on Pokemon Go: What Nintendo Needs To Learn From Ingress · · Score: 1
