Comment Some episodes, not all (Score 1) 70

Babylon 5 Season 1 Episode 2 doesn't seem to be there (Midnight on the Firing Line). Technically it's episode 1 if you don't include the pilot.

Currently I can see 3 episodes:
Babylon 5 | Full Episode | The Gathering: Season 1, Episode 1 (the pilot)
Not there - Midnight on the Firing Line
Babylon 5 | Full Episode | Soul Hunter: Season 1, Episode 3
Babylon 5 | Full Episode | Born To The Purple: Season 1, Episode 4

Yes, presumably the AI gets confused when you start adding different countries into the equation. If you have identical twins growing up in different places - Scotland and Australia, say - how is the AI going to account for the large differences in accents?

Countries with large numbers of English speakers are overrepresented here. Given PC ownership numbers, you'd expect Japan and Brazil to feature in the top 10:

        China – 357.4 million
        United States – 269.3 million
        Japan – 59.5 million
        Brazil – 52.5 million
        Germany – 49.2 million
        India – 41.6 million

The carrier sued Austin, Texas-based CrowdStrike three months after the July 19, 2024 outage disrupted travel for 1.4 million Delta passengers.
Delta has said the outage cost $550 million in lost revenue and added expenses, offset by $50 million of fuel savings.

TFA gives the relevant numbers.

Comment Re:No calculator in early age (Score 1) 19

Having the ability to do basic mental arithmetic is a valuable skill we use every day. Being able to make reasonable estimates can save you from making potentially expensive mistakes.

What's 23.71 x 42,372? No idea, but having a feel for numbers and mental calculations allows me to work out straight away that the answer is going to be somewhere near 1,000,000. If I then input the numbers into a calculator and get an answer closer to 100,000 or 10,000,000, I know from my estimate that I've messed something up.

How would somebody with no grasp of estimating numbers detect that error? Now use the same logic with somebody trying to understand a terrible car-finance deal that a salesman is pushing at you, or any kind of loan or contract?

Comment Re:for some reason I stopped buying new games (Score 3, Insightful) 124

Sidenote: I was cleaning out the attic last year and I found a whole lot of CDs. I *OWN* them. They don't depend on any server. I can't play any of them. Even if I were to jump through hoops installing dosbox to emulate an old system, my PC doesn't have a CD drive. So where does ownership get me? Just another thing I can't play.

You could order a USB DVD drive from Amazon for 10 bucks, if you had any interest in playing your old CDs.

Why not? There's a weird misconception on Slashdot that AC posters are all illiterate trolls. The majority of my posts are made AC, and all of my posts going back 20 years were AC until Slashdot forced us to create accounts. AC is one of Slashdot's best traditions, using it to make non-trolling posts helps to keep it alive.

I am not the AC you replied to.
