What do you suppose they're going to find in there?

The whole scheme seems more along the lines of "Oh neat, someone gave us free money to play with plush toys and every once in awhile kill a snake" than a truly cost effective means of controlling an invasive species. I kind of expected a rabbit killbot, but nope, it's just a cuddly looking fake rabbit in a cage, and still requires a human to venture out to dispatch the snake after receiving the proximity alert.

Maybe they're saving the killbot features for RoboBunny 2.0.

Something I've not used in...Jesus.....a long, long, LONG time, and was quite glad to see it go "bye-bye!"

Last thing I need in life is another cord to get tangled up in itself, with other cords, and me!

You know what I really want? A device that can "beam" power to other devices in the room, with minimum configuration. It would be awesome to have a little box on my dresser that plugs into the wall, and that little device charges every phone, pair of headphones, watches and whatever else that is in the room, automatically, and while they're in use.

Somebody should be working on that shit.

The employees can just go find a job doing something else. Why should they be employed in positions that are not needed by a company that does not want them?

Why would I need to call my bank?

On a related note, I'm glad unions have not prevented the deployment of on-line banking apps. Using such an app, I can open an account, do pretty much anything I need to do with it, and carry on my life just fine without needing to call my bank.

I think it depends a lot on the plane.

Show me on the doll where the Founder touched you.

More expensive than $4k each!? Were they buying their live rabbits from a Ferengi?

Also, note to the /. editors, the story icon is cute, but Florida does not have a problem with invasive Python scripts.

Me either.

Another product, service or company I've never heard of is going under.

Same as it ever was....

Having all of your data onsite tends to work out badly if that site suffers a catastrophe of one kind or another.

Why hasn't someone developed "Police Works" by now?

An office suite with a WP, DB, Spreadsheet and slide presentation program, all integrated and such, meeting law enforcement needs?

You wouldn't even have to do it from scratch. Just fork an existing open source project and go from there.

You really should watch that video of a Tesla plowing right through a fake wall.

Which also brings me to: Have you ever actually priced insurance for a Tesla? It's horribly expensive. It's like the insurance companies know you're likely to be distracted by the touch screen UI or eating a meal with the self driving enabled, and wind up upside-down in a ditch.

By the time self driving tech works well enough to deploy on a large scale, you won't own a car anyway. You'll just summon one via an app and insurance will be something for the robocab company to worry about. Certainly, the wealthier members of society will still have their own privately owned cars, and if you're well off enough to afford a car that sits stationary in a parking spot for the majority of its life, you'll also be able to afford the insurance.

They didn't know what they were talking about, they lied about their powers of prognostication, or both.

Self-driving cars may one day obsolete human drivers, I even believe that they potentially could in my lifetime. But I don't think it will happen soon, and I don't think it's a particularly worthwhile goal either. Instead we should eliminate most of the need to drive, and get down to lighter vehicles (think SxS or NEV) for most of the remaining (rural, recreational, emergency) use. We could delete a lot of highway lanes and run rail up the center of those rights of way, and keep the rest for local trucking.

People are always in a big damned hurry.

I enjoy the train because it provides a reprieve from that. If I'm in a big damned hurry, I'll take a plane, or at least drive my car.

Las train ride I was on was 3 days. Nice and slow. I enjoyed it.

I streamed Snowrunner over 1GbE from my 5900X/4060Ti 16GB desktop to my 3250U MiniPC using Steam (both run Linux) and I found the visual quality to be much poorer than running locally. Will 2.5GbE make it any better?
