  4. unnecessary on New Legislation Proposed For Nuclear Safety · · Score: 1

    The plant's application for a 20 year license extension is also currently under review. This is a regular and scheduled process. Plants must apply for a licence a few years before their current one is expired, as the process is quite long. TFA makes it sound like they are under criminal investigation or something.
  5. Re: Oh! on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    They all feel like they have something incredibly wrong with them. I have used uTorrent and Azureus in windows, and ktorrent in linux, and they all can be configured to show as little or as much information as you want...
    Azureus even has an always-on-top floating toolbar with realtime stats if I remember correctly.

  7. i think i understand... on 1300 Unopened Fry's Rebate Forms Found In Dumpster · · Score: 1

    Does the practice of mail-in rebates work because of the time-value of money? i.e. the company gets more income from products initially, is able to use those funds, then has to shell out later (hoping that they are making even more than when the process began)...

  8. Re:Don't miss.... on Hewlett-Packard Brings Linux To Select Desktops · · Score: 1

    My point was simply what I said-be careful when yo uread the article. I too used to work in IT in Australia, but I'm now living in the USA. Most of Slashdot's readership is American, so I thought I'd point out that small detail in the article...

    Zonk, try reading the titles.
    From the article: "MySQL ends distribution of Enterprise source tarballs" The bold shows words you decided to ignore.

    Now do you understand why they don't allow optical media writers in your carry-ons?
    No, I don't. I carried my cd-burning laptop on a plane 2 months ago. Where's the problem?
  17. Re:Been there, done that. on Human Origins Theory Tested By Recent Findings · · Score: 1

    Now, there is more evidence to the 'sister species' theory. That's why there's an article.

  18. Re:Oxymoronic: thief cries thief !! on BitTorrent Closes Source Code · · Score: 0, Troll

    Agreed.

    This guy probably thinks that computers are just for porn and that college is just for drinking.
