Re:Tesla Shows Off A 90-Second Battery Swap System on Friday June 21, 2013 @06:45AM (#5917380)
So instead of loading my battery i just swap it with a fully charged one and the thing is done. My old battery gets fully charged on site, and if someone else comes along he gets my old now fully charged battery. Basically you never have to charge your Tesla again.... 90 Seconds to "refill"... nice one

Try deleting all the Nodes with DEL

When deleting the last one it crashes (tested in FF and Chrome)

Please no...

Why should this become a place of witch-hunting?

You give no reason why it should be implemented other than that gaming sites has become more sophisticated.

That is not enough justification, especially since

-) i don't see clear signs for HN degrading in Quality

-) i am sure that pg is concerned about HN and has implemented some measurements to guarantee the high quality of this site for the future

No need for such drastic measurement just yet.

Re:Google's self-driving car gathers almost 1 GB/sec on Tuesday April 30, 2013 @04:55PM (#5634801)
If you think so:

-) Google Self-Driving Car gathers 1GB/s. Picture of it analyzing left turn

-) Google Self-Driving Car gathers 1GB/s. What it "sees" making Left Turn

My critic is not so much with the title op chose, more so that he/she felt the need to make the case that a Mod shouldn't have changed it.

Op wanted to know why it is Mod did it, i answered.

I can't believe that you were willing to abbr. "Google" with "GOOG" but had to use "almost" in this sentence (utterly redundant word here) or "1 GB/sec" instead of "1 GB/s"

Sorry, i don't know how much "effort" you put into your abbreviation but your title looks like a dirty hack, i would never want on the front page.

Google Car gathers 1GB/sec. What it "sees" making Left turn

That would have been better in my opinion.

With all due respect, i think the Mod changing the title is justified in this case.

"American said the issue was caused by an inability to get access to its reservations system, called Sabre. The electronic system, often described as the brains of an airline, is responsible for bookings and reservations but also manages a wide variety of functions related to flights, including printing boarding passes, online check-ins, ticketing, and tracking checked bags. [...]

Sabre, meanwhile, said American’s system outage did not come from its own computer systems. Other airlines, including Southwest Airlines and JetBlue, use the reservation system and have not experienced any outages, said Nancy St. Pierre, a spokeswoman for Sabre."

it was an honest question and i don't think your reaction is appropriate behaviour for this site.

If most think my comment is worthless, the voting system will make it enter the void. If others think it isn't it will be upvoted. That's how this site works.

Just responding with "Shut up" adds nothing to the discussion and is something i am shocked to see on this site :(

mhm sorry as i don't know so much about this, but how is this different from google?

meaning that with a specific search in google i can find for example all kinds of cameras or systems one shouldn't find, e.g.:

-) http://preview.tinyurl.com/34959u

Maybe Shodan "focuses" on that, but they can't possible index more of those things than Google already has...

Can you find one single thing over Shodan you can't with a specific Google search? (maybe you find such things more easily with Shodan...)

EDIT: More information on Shodan:
