  1. Vote or "Vote"... on FCC Plans December Vote To Kill Net Neutrality Rules (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Is he putting it to a legitimate vote, or putting it to a "vote"?

  2. Mysterious disappearances... on Anti-Aging Stem Cell Treatment Proves Successful In Early Human Trials (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    In a related story, authorities are investigating the mysterious disappearance of a number of people aged 20 to 45 years old who lived near the testing facilities conducting the Trials...

  3. Re:Ask your dad what the CueCat was on Snapchat Reportedly Stuck With 'Hundreds of Thousands' of Unsold Spectacles (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The spectacles were like $120. Not exactly an impulse buy... [Still have my CueCat, BTW...]

  4. Use it as a media player. on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do With An Old Windows Phone? · · Score: 1

    I have a Lumia 635 that I use as a media player and a "I don't care if it gets trashed" HD camera.

  5. Re:I wonder if it will beat the zinc-air to market on 'No Fire Risk' With New Lithium Batteries (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    >Main detail to be worked out is cycle lifetime. Yeah, that's kind of a big detail to work out.

  6. "Flammable Edition" apparently....

  7. Trump signs EO mandating all kiosks run on coal... on McDonald's Hits All-Time High As Wall Street Cheers Replacement of Cashiers With Kiosks (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    ... to bring the jobs back. Big announcement in the coming weeks folks.

  8. I've had stuff stolen out of checked luggage on TSA May Recommend Stowing Laptops In Cargo For US Domestic Flights (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    I hope they're assuming liability for stuff that goes missing then. I don't put anything valuable in checked luggage anymore after getting shit stolen out of it years ago.

  9. Go away! We don't want you here! on US International Tourism Market Share Is Falling Under Trump (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Well when you roll out the "You're-Not-Welcome" mat, what do you expect people to do?

  10. Accounting... Schmaccounting... on President Trump's Budget Includes a $2 Trillion Math Error (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Accounting... Schmaccounting... if it doesn't work out we'll just declare bankruptcy and start over again. Worked for everything else Trump has touched.

  11. Coal's making a resurgence, so this is just a temporary thing. [/s]

  12. Re:Electric cars are as clean as the electricity u on India Aims To Make Every Car Electric By 2030 In Bid To Tackle Pollution (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but still easier to control emissions from a handful of coal plants rather than millions of tailpipes.

  13. We will build a great lunar wall... on US Space Firms Tell Washington: China Will Take Over the Moon if You're Not Careful (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    ... It will be fantastic. Believe me.

  14. Alien human farming... on An Artificial Womb Successfully Grew Baby Sheep -- and Humans Could Be Next (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    That's like a scene from every alien horror flick...

  15. I would choose a buffet over foraging any day on Wolves May Be 'Re-Domesticating' Into Dogs (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    I think they're just being smart. Why have to forage when you have an all-you-can-eat buffet in your backyard?

  16. Oh good, so our dystopian future can be realized just that much faster then...

  17. Your input has been terminated... on IBM Technology Creates Smart Wingman For Self-Driving Cars (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    But what if the human is deemed to BE the anomaly?

  18. I'm sure heads will roll... on Singapore Wants To Test Flying Taxi Drones (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    ... literally.

  19. Re:This is why Alexa Google Home on Google Wants To Create Promotions That Aren't Ads For Its Voice-Controlled Assistant (businessinsider.in) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's exactly what happened, and there was no way to re-edit the posting or do a delete and re-add.

  20. Google can't make direct revenue from the Home. Amazon's Alexa is there to support consumption of products and media from Amazon (and various partners I suppose.)

  21. An OS should not be an Ad platform!!!

  22. Autonomous vehicles will make buses obsolete. Seems like smaller autonomous ride sharing vans would be more practical to group people going to similar destinations.

  23. "I look out the window and I see the weather. I don't need some agency to tell me what the weather is. Sad!"

  24. I would start with Visual Basic on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Started With Programming? [2017 Edition] · · Score: 1

    I would start with Visual Basic. You could go with C#, but I think the language syntax conventions might make a bit more sense to a beginner using Basic's "BEGIN" and "END" rather than the symbolic characters of C# (and it's easy enough making the transition at a later time.) Microsoft provides a free edition to learn on, the integrated IDE with F1 help and Intellisense make learning the language syntax a lot easier. Also the ability to step forward/backward through code, revise it on the fly, and inspect the contents of variables makes it much easier to recognize what's going on in the program.

  25. First Rule of Server Uptime... on Server Runs Continuously For 24 Years (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    ... is not to talk about server uptime. To anyone. Now you've just jinxed it.
