Yeah, I've got the same mentality. Why have a phone and keep it in airplane mode. I choose to get a good phone and turn off all the notifications for different apps. I keep my WiFi, phone and Bluetooth on all day with no problem. It's the apps that think that they need to be constantly running which is the problem.

And yet, I see the "fact checked" crap on Facebook all the time. Almost always on conservative posts that are true that get "fact checked" by liberal fact checkers.

Works great until you run out of other people's money.

Slashdot has ads? Oh.. wait.. Yep.. Adblock is on. Wow, when did Slashdot start with the ads?

Yes I know, I'm feeding the troll. Have you ever thought that this may some day be useful for people that have that have disabilities where they can't grab a mouse? My mom takes meds that make her hands shake all over and she has a terrible time with a mouse, she sometimes has to grab her mouse hand with her other hand just so she can click the button on the right spot. How about people who have arthritis so bad that they can't even grab the mouse?

This is the first thing I though of when reading the title.

Is there any other proof needed that we do not need to be paying the oil industries any sort of subsidies and that we are paying too much for gas?

I see what you did there....

Where exactly does one find a Beware of Doug sign?

I hate my cheap speaker cables which often allows 2's into the signal. :(

And the assignment today is to try and find an article about a legal gun owner using their legal fire arm in a crime. Probably not going to be able to find one with out some extensive searching.

It always amazes me that the people that complain all the time about Slashdot with dupes, bad articles, etc. come back every day just so they can tell everyone how bad it is. It's as though they sit and wait for it just so they can make long winded comments on how bad Slashdot is. It is getting really old.

Not always true. I have worked on many machines where the Live CD will setup wireless/video/audio/other device and when the install has completed and rebooted, those things didn't work. I would have to manually install them. Usually not too difficult of a task but more of an annoyance.

RC Helicopters kill people, let's get them banned!! We need more RC Helicopter laws!!! Criminals will start using them!!!!
