  1. funny.. on Mobileye Says Tesla Was Dropped Because of Safety Concerns · · Score: 1

    and tesla said THEY dumped mobileye...

  2. Re: doesn't say true stories on Facebook Features 9/11 Conspiracy Theory as 'Trending' (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Who says it isn't truthfull? It's more likely true than it isn't, especially with builind 7 which wasn't even near the twin towers and was 'pulled'.. now 'pulling' a builind like that with the precision it was demolitioned, takes weeks/months of planning, it just isn't possible to do that in a couple of hours... It really isn't....

  3. Problem? on Facebook Features 9/11 Conspiracy Theory as 'Trending' (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    What's the problem? Why is Facebook getting slack because of this story? The story IS trending, and it IS true.... Because some people don't like the story, doesn't mean it isn't "trending".....

  4. Just stay the F away from properties or get their owners permission.. How would you like it if I flew a drone over your property and film you running around naked in your home.. I have no problems with property owners shooting down drones if they are over their property, I also don't have any problems with laser protectors which blind camera's that are pointed at your property/home.. People should just respect other people's privacy (and that also goes for famous people, paparazzi should not photograph people on private property, the famous people don't owe you a thing..

  5. BS research... on Google Tests A Software That Judges Hollywood's Portrayal of Women · · Score: 1

    As if men aren't protrayed like stereotypes.. All genders and ethnic/religious groups are portrayed like stereotypes in movies..

  6. Nope, he drives a chevy Volt (Netherlands).

  7. Yep, but your Tesla also costs about twice what you paid for the Prius, which was propably a hybrid Prius..

  8. "now if your regular gasoline car had a flat battery, how would putting a gallon of petrol in do any good?"
    I just use a bypassing car for jumpstarting, or (if it's not an automatic) you just let someone push until it starts.
    But we're talking here about 'fuel' running out, not another malfunction.. Because electric cars can also have multiple malfunctions, just like a regular petrol car..

  9. Yes it is possible that electric vehicles meet 90% of the rides needs, but all FULL!! electric vehicles cost at least twice what the equivilant gasoline powered car costs.. And a lot of people just don't have the money to buy a new car, even have trouble buying a used car.. So it'll take at least a decade or two before most gasoline cars are replaced with an electric version..
    Also a second problem is, as mentioned here a lot already, charging.. A lot of people don't have a parkingspace with a charger next to it, most parkinglots only have a few spots.. So unless more and more spaces get a charging spot next to it (maybe just convert all lampposts to a charging spot) OR a full charge is reduced to 5-10 minutes, then it'll take a time before people are confident enough to use their electric vehicle a lot more..
    Let's not forget, a lot of the current 'electric' vehicled are hybrids, which have a small battery which is hardly enough for even a citydrive and have a gasolinepowered generator for the rest of the drive..

  10. uhmm. you do know electric cars have just as much maintenance as a gasoline car, has just as much breakdown time as a gasoline car (especially the latter, maybe even more, as my boss has his 3 year old car just as much in the shop as I have with my 20 year old high milage cherokee.. And he has had his car stall because there was no charge left, he had to tow his car, whereas with a regular gasoline car you just get a gallon of petrol and you drive on.. And as said, not everybody has a parkingspace with an outlet at their home.. It's great if you have always have a charging point at home and at work, but even at our work, there is only 1 outlet, and guess who is charging his car there... Yes outlets are popping up more and more, and in a decade or so, it'll certainly be everywhere, but not right now..

  11. It would have been news if the person actually started the lawsuit, but now, it's just somebody yelling and not actually having suid the studio..
    And I think any decent lawyer would have advised against it, as the chance of winning is zero.. Trailers are know to have scenes which do not make it into the movie, mostly due to the trailers being cut before the actual movie is finished..

  12. I guess the EU should look into that then, as due to monopoly position those companies have, they should not be allowed to just delete content from anyones computer.. I even think it is illegal in a lot of countries to delete stuff without the consent of the user.. But if it all goes through, I guess Linux will start to get even more popular..
    I also don't understand on who's authority they can do this for every country.. they can't..

  13. it's actually irresponsible to have the Olympic swimmers in the water... Why do they even continue with the matches?

  14. Re:As a user of old equipment, this terrifies me on All Windows 10 Kernel Mode Drivers Must Be Digitally Signed By Microsoft (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 2

    Funny, as that's also my experience with my own windows.. But I had to reinstall Ubuntu a couple of times after an upgrade (so the upgrade fubarred it, so I just reinstalled the new version) to get my development enviroment working again..

  15. Re:How do I change a user's password on All Windows 10 Kernel Mode Drivers Must Be Digitally Signed By Microsoft (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 0

    The reason you know how to change your password in linux is because you have 'googled' it, otherwise you also wouldn't have known.. And I guess you haven't 'googled' it for windows 10, otherwise you would have known.. oh maybe you could even have used the 'search/help' option in windows 10 itself.. It's not like linux is so much easier, everytime I have to work with linux I have to use 'google' if I just want to do something, and mostly it's because something gone wrong after a simple update/upgrade...

  16. well fix it by building better shielding to the spacecrafts.. If our planet can do it, so can we...

  17. great another clickbait title.... In reality Tesla already were planning on ditching them before the so called crash nonsense.. They already were upgrading their autopilot project and had already attracted developers and technicians before the (much hyped) news broke about the so called crash.. But now they media wants to spin it like it was because of the so called crash, as that is much more sensational than what actually is going on...

  18. Oh what bs, they did not cripple netscape or wordperfect, they used api's and their knowledge of windows others didn't have.. And i think the whole story is bs, i don't see them deliberatly cripling steam. Sweeney should provide real evidence for that, shouldn't be that hard if his claims are true..

  19. ridiculous on Apple To Make $3 Billion From Pokemon Go (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    And that's just f-ing ridiculous, as a developer you don't have any choice but to go through iOS app store, so you'll always have to give money to apple.. 30% off all in-app purchases is really REALLY ridiculous, they are just a bunch of thiefs, as always riding on the back of others.. (just like almost all of their products just being ripped from others and put in a nice shiny cover and sold)..

  20. Re:Beyond a doubt on Elon Musk: Autopilot Feature Was Disabled In Pennsylvania Crash (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll take the 'word' of the log files over the driver.. If the system is under investigation it doesn't mean everything about the system is crap, logging is something I would have all confidence in, computer decision based on information collected from sensors is something I would have less confidence in, but then again, I have even less confidence in the drivers his story..

  21. 3 incidents have been reported on through the media, 1 was a fatal accident which was even because the driver was watching a movie instead of even looking at the road. 1 incident has been confirmed the autopilot wasn't even on, and the other is still not confirmed if it was on/off, although that one was a situation Tesla warns it is not correct...
    It's not like there haven't been a lot of accidents with older cruisecontrols or laneassist before, so why not just disable ALL those extra functions...
    People are warned Auto Pilot needs you to keep your hands on the wheel and eye's on the road (just like with regular cruise control/lane assist), so if people just blatently ignore those warnings, it's the drivers fault, not the system..

  22. Re:The summary is false. on Third Tesla Crashes Amid Report of SEC Investigation (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    And let's not forget, the second incident actually wasn't confirmed the autopilot was on, according to data at tesla it wasn't, but the driver hadn't responded to calls from tesla for more information.. Also in this case we don't know if autopilot was actually on, the driver says so, but it doesn't mean it was.. But then again, looking at the crashphoto's of the third report, it seems to be a road which is on the tesla 'problem list' (no road divider etc), but then again, the car should notify the driver that it has problems with finding markings it needs for proper autopilot.

  23. uhhh.. on The Great Tablet Gold Rush Is Over (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    and yet there hasn't been a decend 10" tablet released with good specs since the Motorolla Xoom or Nexus 10, most have way to large bezels, or have crap big physical buttons(samsung), or are just plain ugly (silver).. Still waiting for a good tablet with a rubberized back (like the Nexus 5, or the top of the Xoom), small bezels, good battery and a decent screen (at least FullHD)..

  24. Except in this case the voters were manipilated with promises that were dropped the moment the referendum had ended and was won.. People didn't have a clue what they were voting for, all they thought was that it would be benificiary to them, but didn't know it would cost them much MUCH more...
