  1. Samsung's Bixby does *not* support those languages on A Look at the Number of Languages Popular Voice Assistant Services Support (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    "Samsung's Bixby: Samsung's Bixby [...] only supports a handful of languages in those countries: English, Chinese, German, French, Italian, Korean, and Spanish."

    AFAIK, until recently, Bixby (the voice assistant) did not understand German, French, Italian or Spanish. This was quite a letdown for us european customers. Has this changed recently ?

  2. oh... on Ask Slashdot: What Would an AI-Written Poem Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
            Thy micturations are to me,(with big yawning)
            As plurdled gabbleblotchits,
            On a lurgid bee,
            That mordiously hath blurted out,
            Its earted jurtles, grumbling
            Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer.

  5. Bland on The World's Most Dangerous Driving Simulator · · Score: 2

    TFA sounds like an advertisement written by someone who has obviously no idea what driving simulators are nowadays.
    Never heard about http://force-dynamics.com/ ?
    Or http://www.gekosystems.com/ ?

    Even DIYers build racing wheels with forces around 15 Nm ( http://www.racingfr.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=46898 in France, probably on many english forums as well).

  6. Re:Hopefully this gows on At the Track With Formula E, the First e-Racing Series · · Score: 1

    As for pricing, well, just take a look at the tickets for the Silverstone GP on the official F1 site (I didn't check the other races) :
      General Admission - (Sunday) 231,35 €
    Not exactly cheap by my (european) standards. As a comparison, this is more than twice the price of a ticket for the next AC/DC show in Paris.

    Where did you get that notion that electric cars aren't fast ?
    They are short ranged, but not slow. La Jamais Contente was even the fastest car 2 centuries ago !

    I'm afraid this won't save much nature at all, after all it's just the same wasting-a-lot-of-resources-just-for-the-fun-of-some-rich-people.
    And no I am not a greenpeace activist, I watch formula-e events and some formula one events. Formula-e is much more fun, as a race actually takes place, and you can hear the tires working.

  9. Never ? on Ask Slashdot: Sounds We Don't Hear Any More? · · Score: 1

    24 years old and never heard typewriters ?
    Never watched 'All the president's men' or any old movie with scenes in an office ?
    May be you could buy him a load of good old movies, he'll discover some of the best things in american culture.

  10. Re:Don't you wish some of those slain had firearms on Gunmen Kill 12, Wound 7 At French Magazine HQ · · Score: 1

    You've probably never read Charlie Hebdo, but I'm pretty sure none of those guys would have carried a gun.
    Police officers protecting the newspaper's office were armed and died anyway.
    What kind of gun do you carry with you which can be effective against an assault rifle ?
    What training do you have which makes you think you could stop military trained attackers (as it seems this was the case in this assault) ?

  11. Re:Vive la France! on Gunmen Kill 12, Wound 7 At French Magazine HQ · · Score: 1

    I think you are extremely mistaken.
    There's no 'pro-muslim' feeling around here, most people don't really matter as long as religion stays a private matter, and there are very strong concerns about extremist muslim military powers in africa and middle east.
    With respect to Israel, there's no anti-Israel feeling either. Most people probably don't even have the slightest idea of the roots of the conflict over there. Some of us (I do) think Israel is making itself a disservice in not trying to reach peace with the Palestinians. But we certainly do not condone the Hamas or attacks against the israeli population.

    Cocorico ! Just a link to previous work on the same subject (as mentionned in TFA) :

    I was lucky enough to see a talk by J. Duprat about collecting extraterrestrial dust in Antarctica a few years ago. A amazingly cool guy !

    yet, i learnt recently that the (open source) ssh
    was plagued by certain bugs (or were they features ?) that allowed breaking it -- and the product
    had been widely used before someone took the
    time to analyze the code deeply enough to
    find these bugs.

  16. Compaq has a card which does this on Ask Slashdot: Hardware for Headless Linux Boxes · · Score: 1

    (sorry I didn't read all the answers, may be
    someone already pointed that out).

    hi,

    some guys from compaq showed us a card which
    was designed for their pc servers. it allows
    distant administration using a modem, and redirects all bios output to a comm port.
    it also saves the last page of text in case
    of reboot (useful for bsod).
    I don't know if it is NT only stuff (I mean
    the card was plugged into an NT server, could
    there be specific drivers for it, or is it just
    bypassing the OS ?) .
    Price was about 6000 French Francs (that should
    be around $1000 -- or less)
