  1. Re:FTFA: Not sharing so much as building together on Teaching Programming Now Emphasizes Sharing · · Score: 1

    And Indian telecom sucks, IMHO. WAY way too many dropped calls if you're trying to call international.

  2. Re:FTFA: Not sharing so much as building together on Teaching Programming Now Emphasizes Sharing · · Score: 1

    Fine, but you have to view it in proportion to your wage. If your wage is decent, then the relative prices in India will be the same as here.

  3. Re:graphics, star trek, and the post-PC era on ARM Claims PS3-Like Graphics On Upcoming Mobile GPU · · Score: 1

    your super-fast GPU will be sitting idle much of the time waiting for something to do.

    One word: Crysis.

  4. You say office... on Ballistic Clipboard Holds Papers, Stops Bullets · · Score: 1

    ...do you mean the Post Office?

    sudo apt-get install yum
    That should take care of it!

  6. Re:Sorry, but it's not worth the time on In Favor of FreeBSD On the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Meh, PC-BSD uses KDE by default. Other DEs don't even work as well, as they're using a customized version of KDE at that.

  7. Re:LOL Power companies are profiting from infringm on RIAA Lawyer Complains DMCA May Need Revamp · · Score: 1

    Why would they want to? They're getting paid when you download!

    Well, it really does depend how far you want to go in defining religion. If you mean that a religion is simply and merely a belief in a higher being (theism), then sure, science and religion are compatible. If you mean that religion is a complex set of doctrines and social and moral rules that may or may not be orthagonal to the belief in a higher being, then you may run into some incompatibilities.

    Nah, punch cards.

  10. Fully 94% ? on IT Shops Coping With Overloaded 2.4GHz WiFi Band · · Score: 0

    fully 94% used the 2.4GHz band

    100% of 94% ? Or 94% used the band fully?

  11. Re:Finance companies shouldn't run the media on Wikileaks Suspends Publishing Of Cables Due To "Financial Blockade" · · Score: 1

    I thought that credit card companies had some legal obligation to transfer money from A to B, unless the money was actually criminal money? But last time I checked, Assange was accused (not convicted) of rape. And the Wikileaks organization as a whole wasn't accused of anything in a legal court. Or am I missing something?

    Yeah, you're missing the part where the corporations have an obligation to transfer money to lawmakers for the sake of "national security".

    Let's say you went to Slashdot High.

    People visit Slashdot when they're high? That'd explain a lot of comments! ;-)

  15. Re:Easy on What Happens When the Average Lifespan is 150 Years? · · Score: 1

    and the year will be greater than or equal to 2036.

    But then in the year 2038, all the dates will be reset to 1901 and we will have time traveled a century backward! WOOHOO!!!

  17. Re:What's the competition? on LibreOffice Going Online and Mobile · · Score: 2

    LaTeX/LyX is a nice project, but 'king for technical writing'? Technical writing generally means user guides and other product manuals, and LaTeX is a niche player at best in that market.

    Several publishers produce technical and user manuals with LaTeX.

  19. So? on OpenOffice Is Dying (And IBM Won't Help) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    LibreOffice is already a better product. Just let it die. There's no need for it anymore.

  20. Makes sense on Putting Emails In Folders Is a Waste of Time, Says IBM Study · · Score: 1

    I use Gmail. I used to use the labels for a while, but I got lazy with it. The search feature gets me what I want 99% of the time (1% is when I can't remember anything about the message I need to find). It's faster too---why click through folders or tags or labels when you can just type?

    Actually, the coroner is going a step further:

    Mr Green said he doubted explanations centred on divine intervention.

    "I think if the heavens were striking in cases of spontaneous combustion then there would be a lot more cases. I go for the practical, the mundane explanation," he said.
