he did...in his mind. which is where he resides mostly. Reality[tm] is an annoyance he chooses to ignore quite often.

I guess I am the only one that seems to think that was heavily edited and mostly animated. I am not saying that it didn't happen but it didn't look like what we are seeing.

When they are slapped on by the Orangutang in Washington they have no market value, but are childless tantrums by Trumplestiltskin.

so don't do charging stations, do battery replacement stations. Hot swappable batteries does away with the charge time and makes a whole new subscription business model for the service stations to move to and not die. The Govt. could specify a standard battery compartment and hookups, allowing for a HUGE 3rd party market. Just imagine the AmazonBasics[tm] battery line that catches fire as often as AIs hallucinate.

I think the man pages need a graphical UI update and at least 1 AI function in order to attract the "modern" programmers attention.

This attempt to manipulate public opinion seems remarkably similar to the US corporate media outlets strategy every 30 minutes of every hour of everyday. I imagine the "Media" is going to have to do something about that. It is not like they can stomach having competition, it might cut into the Masters' profit margin.

This won't go away, Flock is just the first and the one that made the mistake of getting in the public eye. When Flock goes bust, several smaller companies will pop up offering the same technology but with NDA's. The info is too valuable to no be sold by some greedy sob with no morals. The government is gonna want this any way they can get it to go with the echelon phone data. Once the genie was out of the bag it is just a matter of time. Our grandkids will wonder how we survived without Uncle Sam knowing where we were at all times.

The world ended in 1987. Everyone worth anything was raptured. Those really bad got sucked into hell and the rest of use are cursed to wander forever in a AI induced hallucination shaped vaguely like our world.

And? Hypertext isn't 'the internet.' It's a logical extension to the concept of a page reference.

Unity isn't necessarily a bad engine but its use rules and cost sure promote a huge amount of slop games mostly from Eastern Europe. Now that it can generate slop without even needing to understand how to program it is only going to get worse. Steam is overrun with such games. They go into those cheap A$$ bundles that no one needs or wants but you see on Humble...

You are going to be able to heat your house with this, just in time for the next massive heatwave.

My 2nd gen Kindle and my old Fire will still allow me to assign stuff via library management. I can't go to the store or god forbid the "experimental" browser but I can put stuff there and on my old Kindle Fire. I use my 2nd gen in my car at lunch time or before shift at the humane society.

Says the person still posting on slashdot.

And the stereo in my car even supports Bluetooth so I could feed it directly from my phone.

Most hardware that supports DST switching also supports *not* DST switching, because not everywhere does.
