Comment Slashdot offers clear evidence (Score 1) 486

The decline in the quality of education is directly reflected in the increasing rarity of
of intelligent and informative commentary here on Slashdot over its 30 year history.

And just like here, the United States has been overrun with anonymous cowards,
offering little of value, but proud of putting their ignorance on display for all to see.

Comment Re:Manned Mars Mission Suffers Mishap (Score 1) 255

Associated Press, 15 October 2031 -
Six months after the apparent loss of the MC-1 Mars Colonizer mission, an explosive investigation has revealed that the entire mission was faked using pre-rendered video and simulated telemetry data. President Elon Musk, rather than addressing the scandal, has instead announced that the billions in taxpayer funds allocated for the mission will be âoerepurposed for innovationââ"a move critics say amounts to pocketing the money.

The deception unraveled after whistleblowers within MASC, speaking under condition of anonymity, provided evidence that the dramatic âoecollisionâ with Muskâ(TM)s own Tesla Roadster had been staged using CGI and doctored JWST images. Independent analysts reviewing raw telescope data confirmed that no such impact had occurred, and further scrutiny of MASCâ(TM)s communications logs suggested that the six supposed âoeinterstellar conquistadorsâ had never even left Earthâ(TM)s atmosphere.

When pressed for comment, Musk initially responded on his social media platform XÂ with a cryptic post: âoeSometimes, the greatest journey is the one you imagine. #StockUp #InnovationTaxâ before deleting it minutes later.

Meanwhile, the Trump Residence, which had pushed for the reorientation of the James Webb Space Telescope to investigate the incident, has remained largely silent, with a spokesperson only stating that the matter was being âoelooked into with tremendous focus, believe me.â

As outrage grows, congressional hearings are being scheduled to determine the extent of the fraud and whether any criminal charges should be pursued. Yet, with Musk still holding unprecedented executive power as both President and CEO of MASC, many are questioning whether accountability is even possible.

Comment We're staying home. (Score 1) 255

Will we go? Nope.
It would be a pure money pit, with zero profit potential.
(and don't say "mining", that's decades upon decades off.)
There's absolutely no military advantage to be gained either,
and those are the only two things that would drive the required funding.

To maintain the survival of the species?
Victory in the struggle of man against nature?
Or "because it is hard"?

We don't do that.

Comment They passed over will.i.am? Again? (Score 2) 21

In 2011, will.i.am, the frontman for The Black Eyed Peas, was appointed as Intel's "Director of Creative Innovation," contributing to the development of smartphones, tablets, and laptops, as well as providing music for the company.

And with such a deep bench!

Intel collaborated with Lady Gaga to bring her creative vision to life for an unprecedented, technology-infused GRAMMY Moment â" premiering a multiyear partnership between Intel and The Recording Academy.

Also, Orange County Choppers built an Intel-themed custom motorcycle back in 2007.
I hear that Paul Teutul Sr. is very available these days.
He's got years of management experience in hardware and manufacturing.

I just can't see how Intel got themselves into such a pickle.
