  1. Who's in charge of your mind? on Facebook Messenger Now Analyzes Your Chats To Give You Recommendations (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    You! Have the choice of viewing the offered item or not.

  2. Dress up? on More Than a Hoodie: How We Talk About Developers (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    I feel that dressing fancy isn't important. it's just another mask people put on - like a fake smile. What comes out of your mouth, and what you do, is what really counts. Showing kindness does not cost you anything.

  3. Re:Demand a "hardware reset switch" on Gigabyte Firmware Bugs Allow the Installation of BIOS/UEFI Ransomware (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    A reset switch eh? You definitely deserve points for this one!! Wish I didn't spend them already!

  4. Re:Wheb you can't beat 'em on Utah Supreme Court Ruling Bars Direct Sales of Teslas Through a Subsidiary (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    (on the other side of the coin) Maybe you should be looking at "those" who make the laws. And if their intentions are evil, greedy, or sinister.

  5. Re:Wheb you can't beat 'em on Utah Supreme Court Ruling Bars Direct Sales of Teslas Through a Subsidiary (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Some people will do anything to keep a good man down. :(

  6. To the Internet??? on GM Hooking 30,000 Robots To Internet To Keep Factories Humming (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Yea, uhuh.. This is going to end well. Why can't they just have a local network, with an IT crew. I guess they ran out of sanity.

  7. As long as the substance is safe for the body, I'm on board. It would alo be fantastic for windshields. I'm always getting pelted with stones on the highway. Did you know that have self-repairing cement? http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/14/...

  8. Yea. But if it's doomsday.. on 'Arctic World Archive' Will Keep the World's Data Safe In an Arctic Mineshaft (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Will there be any survivors? If there are, will they regret the fact that they did survive?? ..Getting back to storage. Since the polar ice caps are melting due to fossil fuels, wouldn't it make sense to store it in more than one place? ...If you were not among the ones that did survive, would you give a poop that they did??

  9. Re:When men were real men... on How the IBM 1403 Printer Hammered Out 1,100 Lines Per Minute (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    As far as durability and dependability. You are 100% correct! Those ball typewriters were a gas! (The only thing modern? Maybe a laser printer - but they eat a lot of electricity to warm up.)

  10. "Heavy weight", Mecanical Microseconds?? on How the IBM 1403 Printer Hammered Out 1,100 Lines Per Minute (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Good grief man! Microseconds sounds a little bit to fast to be mechanical, even if they worked in parallel. ? Are you sure it was not milliseconds? Sounds more like a rail gun speed. And even they don't last long. https://www.quora.com/How-plau...

  11. If it becomes legit. Won't greed smell it? on Bitcoin Becomes Legal Payment Option In Japan, Prices Spike (investopedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's say bit coin becomes legit. How long before we got greedy copy cats sniffing money and start breaking in? How many forms of money will it take before money becomes worthless?

  12. Send in the drones.. er clowns! on Drone Complaints Soar in the UK (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Just one more clown added to this circus called Earth. -- There was a time on this planet, when we used to be serious, courteous and mostly at peace.. It's all but gone now. :(

  13. Divide and rent and Conquer on Bidding Website Rentberry May Be the Startup of Your Nightmares (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    You have to be creative. This is the era where the bigger fish eat the smaller fish. Until only the big fish remain. Rent a house with friends or people you get along with. And have similar lifestyles and rhythms. Example: you sleep - they sleep. Rent a room in a house and pack your seasonal extras in a modest storage facility.

  14. You hit the nail on the head. Why can't these people take care of themselves?? Did they ever hear of an IT crew?? That's what they used to be for.

  15. Exisiting Service? on FCC Limits Order On Charter Extending Broadband Service (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    What the hell is wrong with the existing competitor? Why has choice has become as taboo word in our society. :(

  16. Re:I HATE advertisements! on HTC Introduces Eye-Tracking 'VR Ad Service' (pcgamer.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't need someone to watch you. What you are interested in, you will click on, because actions speak louder than eyes.

  17. Heavy problems? Why no mention of luggage? on California Company Plans Tests For Airfreight-Carrying Cargo Drones (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Can you make more smaller ones? Can they be monitored all the trip, to make sure they arrive safely? (Use "land pilots.").. I also find it ironic that they don't offer luggage transportation services.

  18. Can you jump a sinking ship if you had to? on Ask Slashdot: Can Linux Run a GPU-Computing Application Written For Windows? · · Score: 1

    Is Windows better than Linux. I personally don't care and don't harbour a grudge if you use either. Windows offers easy installs and has a wider ( ? ) choice. Windows users just want their application or program to work on their computer instantly.. Linux (outside of Web searches, LibreOffice, and Emails, requires work and sometimes sweat if you are trying to make something work that doesn't. Why am I saying all this? (No! I don't want you to change your Operating System!) But.. If Windows decides to do something that makes you want to look elsewhere. Are you prepared to jump to a different ship if need be? Plus maybe to them, the threat of you jumping ship might keep them in line!

  19. Re:quick, post it here on Publish Georgia's State Laws, You'll Get Sued For Copyright and Lose (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    What kind of secrecy is this becoming?? You should be encouraged to know the law!! Every where you turn this garbage prevails. Closed door meetings. Secret meetings and voting in the middle of the night.. Disgusting..

  20. Give them separate roads. on IBM Technology Creates Smart Wingman For Self-Driving Cars (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't mix humans and AI's. Give them their own roads. If they want to build an underground system and overhead network that meshes with existing roads that is well planned. Even someone like me is likely to try it. I might even like it!

  21. Yea, great idea.. on Dutch Scientist Proposes Circular Runways For Airport Efficiency (curbed.com) · · Score: 1

    As if a straight landing was not hard enough, you now have to land on a turn. Wait till it snows, or gets icy.

  22. Functioned the same way?? I can't prove it. But I think they have gutted the Writer's of the shows. The older TV series and movies seemed to be of a higher I.Q. range.

  23. If you have an analog amplifier after your TV, will it still register the volume change?

  24. 25 years?? No way. 5 years ought to be enough.

  25. I've never heard of insulator breakdown in electronic components. I do know about electronic migration eventually ruining a junction.
