    Neocons? Hollywood, the record companies, and their lawyers are all liberal Democrats you moron.

  3. Re: Who cares... on Facebook Founder Presents Vision For The New Republic, Many Resign In Protest · · Score: 1

    Indeed, both the Supreme Court and President Obama have recently supported the fact that the Second Amendment applies to individual citizens.

    As for Fox News being "fascist" LOL, Marine LePen is right-wing, Brit Hume is not. True mild rightists like LePen do not even get on TV, print, or radio in the US.

  4. Re: Who cares... on Facebook Founder Presents Vision For The New Republic, Many Resign In Protest · · Score: 2

    You are absolutely correct. We need real right-wing media not lapdogs of FedGov like Fox News.

    not a maker.

  6. Re:What's happening to Linux? on Bad Lockup Bug Plagues Linux · · Score: 1

    No, OpenBSD fully supports SMP nowadays.

    Linux is an inconsistent mess.

  7. Re:What's happening to Linux? on Bad Lockup Bug Plagues Linux · · Score: 2

    Get an operating system whose kernel works. OpenBSD.

  8. Re:Difference versus FreeBSD? on DragonFly BSD 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Wrong. That link is to the Dragonfly page itself. One click.

    Is your finger broken?

  10. A biological explanation for wide screens. on Eizo Debuts Monitor With 1:1 Aspect Ratio · · Score: 1

    The human field of vision is wider than it is tall.

  11. My motorcycle... on In a Self-Driving Future, We May Not Even Want To Own Cars · · Score: 0

    can achieve 154 mph indicated. Why should I be tied down to some bolshevik diktat?

  12. Re:So... on Microsoft Releases Out-of-Band Security Patch For Windows · · Score: 0

    Mod this up.

  13. Re:"Out of band?" on Microsoft Releases Out-of-Band Security Patch For Windows · · Score: 1

    It's far, far too late for anything out of Redmond to not have a ring of "oh, crap" to it.

  14. "Out of band?" on Microsoft Releases Out-of-Band Security Patch For Windows · · Score: 4, Informative

    I hate it when tech companies and CS in particular misuse technical terms. "Unscheduled" is the word they really meant (and should have used.)

  15. Nixon? on Uber Threatens To Do 'Opposition Research' On Journalists · · Score: 1

    Try Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, and LBJ for really nefarious and illegal snooping.

  16. Re: Check your local community first on Ask Slashdot: Who's the Doctors Without Borders of Technology? · · Score: 1

    "Until you've discarded what you are interested and done all that, you've got no ground telling anyone else to do it."

    This is not a coherent, complete, or grammatically correct sentence.

  17. Re: Check your local community first on Ask Slashdot: Who's the Doctors Without Borders of Technology? · · Score: 2

    Go back to school and get a real Bsc. degree in civil engineering. People in undeveloped countries need bridges, roads, clean water, and sewage systems.

    You contradicted yourself in the other post.

  19. Re:Could have been worse on CNN Anchors Caught On Camera Using Microsoft Surface As an iPad Stand · · Score: 1

    Sorry but the CPU is most definitely not and there is no proof that it is and therefore there is no certainty that the emulations that it runs will be executed correctly.

  20. Re:Could have been worse on CNN Anchors Caught On Camera Using Microsoft Surface As an iPad Stand · · Score: 1

    You can not prove that they are Turing complete. No one at those companies claims that either.

  21. Re:How about we hackers? on Debate Over Systemd Exposes the Two Factions Tugging At Modern-day Linux · · Score: 1

    the word "single" is redundant in your last sentence.

  22. Re:Is that unreasonable? on High Speed Evolution · · Score: 1

    You are right. I should omitted the word "but" from my post.

  23. Re:Falsifiability on High Speed Evolution · · Score: 2

    No. Physics is real and math is abstract. It often provides close approximations of physical reality but it is not reality itself except in the sense that it is neurons firing in brains.

  24. Re:Is that unreasonable? on High Speed Evolution · · Score: 2

    Yes but if you go back to the Medieval Warm Period during The High Middle Ages in 1200 AD when food was plentiful you will find that the average height in England was quite tall and on par with today.

  25. Re:Has it been working so far? on Torvalds: I Made Community-Building Mistakes With Linux · · Score: 1

    Theo makes Linus sound like a cream puff. No wonder that OpenBSD is far superior to Linux.
