  1. Many services are like that on Google's Bad Data Wiped Another Neighborhood Off the Map (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    We acquired a phone number at work to use as a direct like to account payable, we now know that it's the old phone number for a store that's been closed for years.The companies who show information on businesses still showed that the business was still around and using our current phone number, the way to have all those services remove a phone number or say that it is now closed is archaic and sometimes they require that the company that owns the store does the modification! i've spent hours doing such request and the phone number is now only on 2 pages of google searches instead of 10...

  2. save on salt? on Google's Sidewalk Labs Thinks a Reinvented Awning Will Fix Toronto's Winter (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    sure, you might save on salt, but you're heating the frikking sidewalk to evaporate water or displace it all... how expensive do they expect that to be?

  3. And unless you get a receipt, you can't prove you ever gave them cash. If they refuse to give you a receipt for a cash payment what do you do, right then and right there?

    punch them, they will have to call the cops and say that you punched them after paying them with cash. Instant receipt!

    pony up 50 000$ or get shocked every 2 minutes!

  5. MSRP should have gone down too! on As Cryptocurrency Values Plummet, Graphics Card Pricing Improves Dramatically (hothardware.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    MSRP of the release price of a 2 year old card is not what i call a good price... we're still being gouged by the overpriced video cards that made their MSRP stay the same for so long..

  6. I live in Canada on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Prepare For The Theft Of Your PC? · · Score: 1

    I don't need a gun to defend myself, I don't lock my door because I trust people.

  7. poor workers? on Struggling Workers Found Sleeping In Tents Behind Amazon's Warehouse (thecourier.co.uk) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    well, they are getting more than minimum wage... if they don't have enough, they can negotiate for more or leave... if Amazon can't find workers because they don't pay enough they will either give more or get out... therefore removing the problem. if you're losing money by working, find another job! if you're not paid enough, find another job! if Amazon loses you, they will hire someone else until they can't find anyone who wants to work for them and will then have to do something about it.... or start a worker union to force their hand!

  8. Similar to my phone problems on Android User Locked Out Of Google Accounts After Moving To A New City (itwire.com) · · Score: 2

    It's kinda similar on how my credit card declared my card stolen... when I ran out of money on my phone and refilled it, it was flagged by my credit card company, therefore they declared it stolen and I couldn't do any transactions on it... off course, they tried calling me, but it wouldn't work because there was no money left on the phone for me to receive calls... I need money to make calls, I need to make a call to put money on it... so ridiculous...

  9. note 7 joke on Nearly 9 Out of 10 Smartphones Shipped Run On Android (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    off course, you ship your note 7 to the customer and back.... twice in the same year, so every note was counted 4 times, it kinda helps...

  10. The way I see it is simple, you can't sell a car saying:"allright, if the vehicle that you are paying for ever gets in a situation where it has to choose between hitting someone or crashing itself and killing you, it will kill you..."

    Well at least I wouldn't buy that car... I don't know about everyone else...

  11. useless on Italy Quake Rescuers Ask Locals To Unlock Their Wi-Fi (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    the quake was on wednesday and you think that there is a smartphone battery that still isn't dead? really?

  12. 10 months for 3 years on Netflix Is The Least-Cancelled of All Major Streaming Services, Says Study (exstreamist.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'm a recurring canceler on Netflix... as a Canadian with half of the content, I run out of content after a while and simply cancel my subscription to renew it a few months later and have new stuff pup up that interests me.

  13. Re:The abuse continues: Shows up on Google Earth/m on Internet Mapping Glitch Turned a Random Kansas Farm Into a Digital Hell (fusion.net) · · Score: 1

    Why hasn't Google blurred or removed this persons' farm from their maps?

    Everybody is trying to get there! Why would they remove it? it's like removing a landmark because too many people are trying to get there!

  14. Re:Where is deniability? on Utah Bill Would Require IT Workers To Report Child Porn (ksl.com) · · Score: 1

    for the same reason you don't report the guy who has a suicide vest... he might retaliate before he's cuffed or his friends know who you are...

  15. Re:Is it even possible? on The Network Revolution Needed For Remote Surgery (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Also... 5G? Over-the-air? Wireless is not my first thought for medium when I think of low latency...

    wireless is not my first medium for a stable connection that won't crap on while he's cutting you up...

  16. Re:Take away their licenses! on Emergency Room Visits From Distracted Walking Skyrocket (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    personally, I think that having a smartphone is stupid... why buy a device for hundreds of dollars and have a monthly payment for services for hundreds of dollars when you have to care for it because it's as strong as a pane of glass... when i can have a mobile phone for 30$ and a contract for 100$ a year to make important calls only and have the rest of my calls on a landline?

  17. Re:Cashless in Canada on Sweden's Cash-Free Future Looms -- and Not Everyone Is Happy About It · · Score: 1

    Canada has gone for debit cards in a big way. I hardly ever pay cash for anything.

    and my bank charges me 75 cents for every transaction that I do... therefore, I now use more cash that I ever did before... and my credit card, which doesn't charge any fee for every transaction...

  18. The president wants him arrested again? on Obama Invites Texas Teen To White House After "Bomb" Clock Incident At School · · Score: 1

    wait.. so the president is asking him to bring his "bomb-like" device to him? that means he's going to bring his "bomb-like" device on a plane... i can't wait to hear about how he got arrested at the TSA checkpoint for trying to bring a bomb on a plane!

  20. Re:Dents, chips... on Turing Near Ready To Ship World's First Liquid Metal Android Smartphone · · Score: 1

    To prevent cellphone damage from drops, the solution is simple: move to space. It's that pesky gravity that is wrecking your electronics.

    but then any momentum given to the object would keep it moving as there is no friction... therefore you will lose your phone if it's not attached to you!

  21. great way for more malware and trojan! on New Chrome Extension Uses Sound To Share URLs Between Devices · · Score: 1

    great! now the best way to have even more computer on a botnet! just make an ad with sound that will send people on a compromised website to send malware to anyone with the app!

  22. Work stays at work! on Worker Fired For Disabling GPS App That Tracked Her 24 Hours a Day · · Score: 1

    Why in the world would you bring your work phone back home and keep it on you while it's the week-end? i'm not doing my laundry at the office, why would you bring your customers outside of the hours you're paid for?

  23. Too bad it's a stupid idea, it's defeated if someone bites into the pill or crushes them, just like my mother does, because they can't swallow all those big pills.

  24. Re:Transparency - Sure on Ford Develops a Way To Monitor Police Driving · · Score: 2

    hum... auto shut off when the car is running! and the system is offline if the engine is not running, to make sure not to drain the battery, off course!

  25. Re:surreal on Crowdsourced Remake "The Empire Strikes Back Uncut" Now Complete · · Score: 1

    It's also surreal with the constant changing of actors and graphical modes while the plot remains. I think its great.

    in no way anyone could watch this and have any idea what the hell is happening in the movie... unless you know the movie by heart! i've watched about 30 min and i was confused as hell, i haven't watched a star wars movie in 10 years, but i still remember a lot of the plot... but you can't follow the characters because the same characters change every 10 seconds! it might be great, but only for hardcore fans...
