  2. Unprintable charecters on Bozeman, MT Drops Password Info Requirement · · Score: 1

    I gave them all my passwords, but each had at least one character that was unprintable, unpronounceable and ambiguous when written down.

    Yes, Mozilla is lying.
    They put a tick next to "Compatible with modern Web pages and technologies" for IE.

    You have to get to very high velocity

    Not for all purposes. You only need fuel for acceleration, plus some missions might not be particularly time critical. Robotic mineral mining for example.

    I don't trust the government to protect my rights

    Neither do I.
    Problem is, many people see governments as the source of rights; so it's an uphill struggle right from the start.

  9. Re:Brits love paying tax, so let them pay. on UK Government Announces Broadband Tax · · Score: 1

    Moving quickly on from your flamebait title, the licence fee is a stupid example.

    Let's assume you are average and watch 70 days of TV per year. About 11 days of that will be adverts.
    That's 75 cents an hour that advertiser pays network, for the product, ie: you to consume the ads.

    Wow, that licence fee is starting to look like good value. Unless your day job pays less than 75c or your want to cut out the TV all together.

    Any slashdot discussion about DNS will imminently fill up with hundreds of recommendations for opendns.com ...which is fine, but also a bit puzzling.
    Don't most of us have at least one linux machine somewhere, where you can put a caching nameserver, then point any windows machines on the LAN to that.

  12. Re:Whale Oil on Herschel Space Telescope Opens For the First Time · · Score: -1, Troll

    It took you over two hours to think up this troll and it wasn't even good.
    Hang your head in shame.

    Occam's Razor was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Occam's Razor Turbo. That's three blades and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happenedâ"the bastards went to four blades. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three blades and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five blades.

    Blimps and airships have featured in many works of dystopian fiction. Especially alternative time-line "soviets won" type works.
    So I think he could be wrong about that one.

    Science has changed man.
    Back in the 19th century, anyone could just set up shop. All you needed was a collection of flasks of bubbling liquid, and a Van Der Graph generator.

    Now days it's all big industrial labs with huge ventilation systems, and men in white coats who even have googles. The frontiers of human knowledge is out of reach to all of us who don't have a billion dollar particle accelerator.
    Street guys like us don't stand a chance nowadays.
