  1. Autonomous trucking on New Hyperloop Cargo Company Promises Deliveries at 600 MPH (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Autonomous trucking with human last-leg is the future for long-haul trucking. Let a truck run highway-only between major points with hand-offs to human drivers for last-mile deliveries. This will be cheaper than current trucking and up to 2x faster due to the now-enforced 10hr driving periods. Once that is in place, I don't see a market for enough volume needing the extra speed to pay for the infrastructure.

  2. Good for them. on Tesla Sues BBC's Top Gear For Libel · · Score: 1

    It's about time someone took those guys down a notch. The scenarios are so contrived that the draw such huge conclusions off of the smallest unimportant decisions. Then they claim that certain cars are crap because they don't compare to those 3x their price. It pisses me off how much they do for the entertainment value rather than trying to actually fairly depict the car they are testing. There certainly are plenty of defamatory statements that get made all of the time on the show.

  3. Windows Home Server on How Do You Store Your Personal Photos? · · Score: 2

    That's the simple solution. Then have that backup to the web via something like Crashplan.

  4. Not without compensation on Are 10-11 Hour Programming Days Feasible? · · Score: 2

    I don't work more than ~45 hours per week unless it's my own fault that something is behind. That's because I'm salary, and overtime exempt. My priorities in life involve family being above work and the best way to show that is with time. Now if there is overtime, then I'd be happy to work more (to a point). Or if I owned the business and thus had an increase of profit with a greater expenditure of time investment, then I'd do so as well.

  5. Re:Who cares about PST files anymore? on Microsoft Opening Outlook's PST Format · · Score: 1

    The same here. Only they have a "anything older than 21 days gets deleted" policy, which is why I have a .pst file that is over 1gb, and that is having exported all attachments over 1mb.

  6. Re:I don't believe anyone cares on Microsoft Opening Outlook's PST Format · · Score: 1

    The lack of folders in gmail prevents me from doing exactly that.

  7. Re:I have an idea on The Hidden Cost of Using Microsoft Software · · Score: 1

    My thought exactly.

  8. Fair Tax on The End of Tax-Free Internet Shopping? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This would solve all of the problems. You buy online or in the store, and you pay the same amount in taxes, and incidently, less overall than you would now.

  9. Re:171 Threads! on IE8 Beta 2 Fatter Than Firefox and XP · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying it's a good thing, or even something that I've ever seen, I'm just saying that if one happened to be synchronizing or when it's just openened, I could see the # of temporarily used threads get up there.

  10. Re:171 Threads! on IE8 Beta 2 Fatter Than Firefox and XP · · Score: 1

    Just a comment: Outlook is much more than mail. It does contact management, calendar, tasks, notes, etc. Especially if you are using it integrated into Exchange or SharePoint or multiple e-mail accounts and RSS feeds, I don't see 50 threads being out of the realm of possibility.

  11. Re:You *are* a programmer on Best Weblog Application for Posting Source Code? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why reinvent the wheel if it's already available?

  12. Re:screw wga because... on WGA — Too Many False Positives · · Score: 1

    A legal version of XP home does not allow for legal use of XP pro, you do realize of course.

  13. I'm not sure which is sadder on Best Gaming Video Cards for the Money · · Score: 1

    The fact that Tom's was linked here on /. or the fact that I followed the link.

  14. The problem with facebook... on Facebook Scrambles after Unexpected Privacy Fumble · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is that it puts all your friends on the same level. I don't care about what happened to most of the people that are my 'friends'. If I wanted to know about them specifically, I can look at their page. What would be better would be to have a list of 'close friends' or something like that that you can add to a feed and only get reports from those few people. Also, a 'opt-out' check box in the privacy settings would be nice. Or, as another comment said, it should be an 'opt-in' feature in the first place from a security setting.
