  1. Re:Spot on on Dealership Commentator: Tesla's Going To Win In Every State · · Score: 1

    Or Sony.com or Apple.com or any other of hundreds of sites that sell direct to the public.

  2. Re:Federal Overreach on Dealership Commentator: Tesla's Going To Win In Every State · · Score: 5, Funny

    They've certainly busted my trust over the last 15 years...

  3. Re:Fahrenheit? WTHolyF? on SanDisk Releases 512GB SD Card · · Score: 2

    100 units between freezing and boiling is really not that arbitrary.

  4. Re:Why didn't it fail? on The Documents From Google's First DMV Test In Nevada · · Score: 1

    Maybe if they say the car won't handle it and the car correctly recognizes the situation and shifts into manual mode, that's a pass. Makes sense.

  5. Re:Who would have thought on The Documents From Google's First DMV Test In Nevada · · Score: 1

    You have a train on the map and you have radar. How hard is it?

  6. Re:hmmmm on California Tells Businesses: Stop Trying To Ban Consumer Reviews · · Score: 2

    The government isn't restricting your speech. They are recognizing that you traded that right for financial compensation.

  7. Re:Tesla stories on Slashdot on Toyota and Tesla May Work Together Again · · Score: 1

    I find them both interesting. If you don't like the bitcoin stories (or the electric car stories) don't click on them.

    And yet, nobody started buying them in any significant volume until the last couple years.

  9. Re:No Fucking Shit on Surprising Result of NYC Bike Lanes: Faster Traffic for Cars · · Score: 2, Funny

    Welcome to 1950, NYC! You finally made it! (Not surprising since you were crawling along at 11 mph.)

  10. Re:Paypal + Bitcoin? on Paypal Jumps Into Bitcoin With Both Feet · · Score: 1

    And bitcoin is the bread.

  11. Re:Freeze on Paypal Jumps Into Bitcoin With Both Feet · · Score: 1

    you should NOT use them to store money

    I disagree. I made 10,000% interest last year. I think I'll continue to store my money in there.

  12. Re:Sorry guys, but you are full of shit on AT&T Says 10Mbps Is Too Fast For "Broadband," 4Mbps Is Enough · · Score: 1

    That's because "High-quality" is still defined as 480p.

  13. Did anyone check 4Chan? on Space Station's 'Cubesat Cannon' Has Gone Rogue · · Score: 1, Funny

    Did anyone check 4Chan to see if someone did it for the lulz?

  14. Re:Slashvertisement for Kolab? on Why Munich Will Stick With Linux · · Score: 2

    And shouldn't they have gone with the more obvious "Munix"? Now THAT's a cool name.

  15. Re:+ operator for string concat? on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Strangest Features of Various Programming Languages? · · Score: 1

    Also in VB, although they have recently changed it to &.

  16. Re:The idea of variant (var) on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Strangest Features of Various Programming Languages? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but they just added dynamic. Javascript is all dynamic, and many programmers prefer it.

  17. Re:TI calculators are not outdated, just overprice on How the Outdated TI-84 Plus Still Holds a Monopoly On Classrooms · · Score: 2

    My daughter is using my old Casio FX-4000P that I used in high school. Her teacher said, "I won't be able to explain how to use that." My daughter replied, "I don't need you to because it's so easy."

  18. Re:What is the Tesla strategy? on Tesla's Next Auto-Dealer Battleground State: Georgia · · Score: 1

    And Teslas have virtually no repairs. Everything is supposed to last 5-10 years.

  19. Re:Stagnant electric car sales on Tesla's Next Auto-Dealer Battleground State: Georgia · · Score: 1

    The Mercedes CLA has the lowest coefficient of drag of any car and it doesn't look ridiculous.

  20. Re:What's wrong with Windows Server? on You Got Your Windows In My Linux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've never used the "Support" on any Linux box yet. And almost never on Windows either. It's quicker to look it up yourself. In fact, out of the 3 times I called Microsoft Support, twice I got refunded for figuring it out while on the phone with the "experts".

  21. Re:Why do they keep doing it on Banks Report Credit Card Breach At Home Depot · · Score: 1

    I've worked at several companies and most of them store passwords in plain text. They've been doing it for decades and I ALWAYS make a new task/story/project, etc. that involves implementing proper security. Only once did I get a company to prioritize it to the point where it actually got done.

  22. Re:It's the 1990s all over again. on New HTML Picture Element To Make Future Web Faster · · Score: 1

    Lowsrc didn't take high-DPI screens into account, which is what they are trying to solve with Picture.

  23. Re:Sue the bastards on In Maryland, a Soviet-Style Punishment For a Novelist · · Score: 1

    That's why you hire a lawyer for them and have the lawyer start poking around. Even if the lawyer won't end up telling YOU what happened, they should be able to find out and ensure that the loved one is being taken care of adequately and not having their rights abused.

  24. Re:still a problem on AMD Releases New Tonga GPU, Lowers 8-core CPU To $229 · · Score: 1

    And yet, Windows 7 and higher ALREADY do this efficiently. Run a single batch file and watch your CPUs in Task Manager. All those single-threaded operations are running on different threads.

  25. Re:I PC game, and have zero reason to upgrade on AMD Releases New Tonga GPU, Lowers 8-core CPU To $229 · · Score: 2

    Just this weekend I realized that my motherboard's copyright date was 2009 (AMD Phenom X2 unlocked to 4 cores). It's 5 years old already (hard to believe) and I can play all the latest games on the top settings for the price of a $150 graphics card. I'm sure the 16GB RAM and the SSD help, but there is seemingly no reason to upgrade other than 4K, if you want to do that.
