Someone, please fork
You'll get a boatload of people willing to jump this ship as soon as the new Beta is the only allowed version here.
Host some google ads on it and ask people to turn off adblock for the site. Maybe solicit some friends to cohost for bandwith reasons...
Anyone want to host a new
Seriously. Slashcode is still out there. A few developers could polish it up and post a story here to announce the new site.
Any reason this hasn't happened yet?
I just recommended a laserjet multifunction printer to my dad (he was burning through ink in am inkjet and his scanner was getting flakey under OS X).
What should I recommend people in the future? Particularly the Linux/OS X crowd? Or am I just jumping a little too early?
(I'm a little nervous as the installation process for my Laserjet m1217 on Linux Mint involves downloading a proprietary blob from HP.)
Why would they even care about your name? They're not the NSA.
They can pinpoint your demographic. That's enough for them.
Tesla cars apparently come with adapters to use other chargers.
As an aside, my first guess is that they use color e-paper (regardless of cost) for power efficiency reasons.
I would take that bet. Not on smart watches in general. On Apple's smart watch. Over the last decade or so, they've gotten pretty good about waiting for others to make the obvious mistakes and then come out with something that "just works".
Just look at their music player, laptop, tablet, phone, etc...
I'm sorry that people died during the 9/11 attacks. Doesn't mean that I had any role to play in causing the attacks.
Don't hate Krugman for making predictions when they come true. He's just following the Keynesian model and letting us know where that puts us.
He's also one that will admit to being wrong, which is better than a lot of other economic bloggers out there.
Absolutely. Slashdot is the worst social news site (where people actually discuss the stories).
Except, of course, all the others.
For Linux systems, NVIDIA was the worse graphics card manufacturer. Except, of course, for all their competition.
Now, with nouveau drivers starting to mature, things are getting better. I just install Linux Mint 16, and for the first time in installing linux systems with nvidia graphics drivers (probably in 2004?), I didn't install the nvidia graphics driver and things work at an acceptable speed.
Thanks, nouveau developers, for your excellent work so far. I hope Nvidia gives you more support in the future.
What I'm saying is that for the extra $79 a year, I don't see much value added over standard amazon. Especially since if your amazon cart is $50 or more you typically get free shipping anyway.
So maybe it makes sense for you. I generally don't need that special part the next day. And for the rare times I do need something the next day, I go to a local store.
I never saw the fascination of Amazon Prime. I figured that, like most people on
Prime is for the people that must have what they bought now. Whatever happened to delaying gratification?
I opt out of the body scanners when I fly alone.
I opted out once when I flew with my wife and kids. The guy that patted me down informed me that they always waved through families with young kids. I haven't been patted down since.
I guess terrorists don't fly with young kids. And young kids can't be trained to carry bomb materials.
They're not locked in. They can leave at any time. They choose to stay.
There are certain drugs that should be made legal and have supervised usage. Like marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol.
Then there's bad stuff which has little to no use in society, where drug rehab programs should step in. Like PCP and heroin.
Then there's crazy shit, where society in general would benefit if it was uninvented. Like krokodil.
