  1. Waste Disposal on Robots Are Coming For Our Jobs, Just Not All of Them · · Score: 1

    No, not the summary, lately, digress... Waste Disposal. Fine for Robots. Let me be the first * to welcome our new Robot Waste Collector Overlords. Drive buses too. Basically, the Ralph Cramden and Ed Norton of the robot world is a-okay.

  2. Assumption is a bitch on Jewels From an Ethiopian Grave Reveal 2,000-Year-Old Link To Rome · · Score: 1

    And they know for 100% they were trading directly with Romans and not a third party who traded with Romans and Ethiopians how exactly?

    The video tapes they found at the site?

  3. Re:Happy Times on Fallout 4 Announced · · Score: 1

    Why dont you just go listen to Ella Fitzgerald and/or the Ink Spots instead of waiting for them to compile those songs onto "their" soundtrack o.0

  4. Rediculous Pile of Bullshit on Ask Slashdot: What Happens If We Perfect Age Reversing? · · Score: 1

    Not enough food? America alone could sustain more than half the planet, if not more.

    Not enough space? For the 7 billion here? Bullshit.

    The facts are plain and simple: No one is willing to donate time, money and resources to make it happen.

    Its actually quite the opposite: they devote time, MONEY and resources to KEEP IT THIS WAY.

    Open your eyes.

  5. Re:Day Late, Dollar Short on Los Angeles Raises Minimum Wage To $15 an Hour · · Score: 1

    You're right, let's get ahead of the game now and make the minimum wage in LA $1,000/hr. Better yet, do it at the Federal level.

    That should solve all the problems, right? Everyone will be rich!

    Well it certainly wont solve the hyberbolic dildo sticking out your ass.

  6. Day Late, Dollar Short on Los Angeles Raises Minimum Wage To $15 an Hour · · Score: 1

    By the fucking time they get to the 15$ min in 2020, it will need to be 25$. Why the hell are they playing chase the tail -- oh right, cause money.

  7. Re:What's in a word? on On the Taxonomy of Sci-Fi Spaceships · · Score: 1

    I feel you missed the joke. Why so serious?

  8. Re:Pepperoni, Olives and Cops. on Woman Alerts Police of Hostage Situation Through Pizza Hut App · · Score: 1

    Damn it I ordered bacon, not pig!

  9. Pepperoni, Olives and Cops. on Woman Alerts Police of Hostage Situation Through Pizza Hut App · · Score: 3, Funny

    From what I understand, Pizza Hut will charge more for extra coppings.

  10. U looks more like L on The Programming Talent Myth · · Score: 1

    Correct.

    The only thing I know of on a U shaped curve of Awesome and SUCK are /. article(s) and/or their submitters.

    Actually it looks more like an L shape, with the high point being suck.

    But I keep coming for the commentary.

  11. Re: No on Has the Native Vs. HTML5 Mobile Debate Changed? · · Score: 1

    Ok, no.

    That is not "catching" up that is merely putting a raw graphics adapter canvas in a web browser.

    That is not providing API hooks for various system level resources.

  12. Re:Darn rabbits on Yellowstone Supervolcano Even Bigger Than We Realized · · Score: 1

    That would be a Leeloo Dallas Badaboom.

    No kaboom for you.

  13. Re:Interesting.. on NASA's MESSENGER Mission To Crash Into Mercury In 2 Weeks · · Score: 1

    Nah, Chemistry is a sexy subject.

  14. Re:Interesting.. on NASA's MESSENGER Mission To Crash Into Mercury In 2 Weeks · · Score: 1
    Good explanation on missing the joke.

    Its SPACE. its a HUGE subject.

    I will use a bigger hammer next time.

  15. Re:Interesting.. on NASA's MESSENGER Mission To Crash Into Mercury In 2 Weeks · · Score: 2

    I love reading about this stuff. Space has always been something that amazes me. It will be awesome to see what the future holds as we learn more about what is out there.

    Well I can understand, Space is, after all, a huge subject.

  16. Re:Wow, these ads must be AWFUL on Consumer Groups Bemoan Google's "Deceptive" Ads for Kids In FTC Complaint · · Score: 1

    I think you mean the 90s. Millennials were born in the 80s. What things would they reference? Stuff for 8 year olds?

  17. Re:If all you have is a hammer... on New Collaborative Project Wants to Systematize Complex Problem Solving Online · · Score: 1

    Not only that, WTF is Systematize?

    Seriously, maybe the first project they should run is how to teach native language writing to native language speakers.

  18. Cherry Trail, now with more Tampon o.0 on Intel Unveils 5th Gen Core Series Broadwell-U CPUs and Cherry Trail Atom · · Score: -1, Troll

    And the award for "We had to hire him, he is my brother's wife's nephew and we'll just stick him in the comes up with the most idiotic names on the planet department" (a.k.a. there was not a EXECUTIVE WOMAN in the room when they make these names up room) goes to....

  19. Re:Cat and mouse... on Netflix Cracks Down On VPN and Proxy "Pirates" · · Score: 2

    Well, I can understand their cat and mouse bullshit with the media corps, but, what I can't understand:

    I live in the US. I travel, a lot, for work, to countries outside the U.S.

    Why am I screwed when I take a trip and want something to watch from the service that brandishes itself a media streamer for me, and content I am allowed to stream, just not when from an IP block outside the allowed list?

    smh.

  20. Re:Analog displays are better in some situations. on Liking Analog Meters Doesn't Make You a Luddite (Video) · · Score: 5, Informative

    But your point is just about the GUI.

    Digital meters can be made to look Analog and provide that exact same feedback.

    For a super stupid example, the windows task manager in the sys tray shows CPU load via a veritcal bar, exactly like an Analog vertical meter would.

    So it seems to be less about the medium and more about the designed controls.

  21. Simple Answer Really on Why America Won't Match Sweden's Cheap, Fast, Competitive Internet Services · · Score: 1

    Sweden is about the size of Texas. Multiply their rates by 50, nifty, united states, and get a real number. Hey look, a country 1/50th the size of the US can be way more competitive with infrastructure changes, news at 11.

  22. Yeah, so what if it's the 80s again.... on Putin To Discuss Plans For Disconnecting Russia From the Internet · · Score: 1

    In (Soviet) Russia, you don't surf Internet, Internet sErfs? you?

  23. Re:Rise of the middlemen on Switching Game Engines Halfway Through Development · · Score: 1

    Its more than 500$.

    Its 1500$ a seat, plus $1500 for iOS plus $1500 for Android, PER PERSON. Then another $500 if you want the cache asset server.

    So, it could easily be 5k per seat. Now, is that alot? To me no, but I am used to bootstrapping CG workstations that are 3k a pop with 10k worth of software on them.

    But when these are things that should not really cause problems i.e. versioning? and that you can't work around with an easy solution like git/hg/perforce, that makes pipeline a little awkward. So when you see software that accomplishes the same workflow sans the hacky ass workarounds, for "less" upfront money? Water flows to the least resistant path.

  24. The New Age Hat on Take a Picture Just By Thinking About It, Using Google Glass With MindRDR App · · Score: 2

    Tin foil hat now made out of glass, News at 11.

  25. Re:We are being bred for slavery on Netflix Trash-Talks Verizon's Network; Verizon Threatens To Sue · · Score: 1
