  1. Re:Let me be the First on Ubuntu Closes Longstanding Bug #1 · · Score: 1, Troll

    How is it that on slashdot, an admission of ignorance AND intellectual apathy is "insightful".

    You might not be hip to ubuntu culture, thats fine. But don't celebrate it.

    Every time I see someone write decimal feet and fractional meters I must conclude that point is mostly lost.

    Not that the real test is administered over youtube, I'm sure.

    But the fun little sample test? Some people are going to get the wrong idea.

    flash versions / or html5, codecs, monitor quality, machine speeds.

    And if smart people are so good at seeing fast stuff, why are they usually so bad at sports? Hey, don't look at me like that. Stereotypes are a great time-saver!

    It's a sad situation when the law enforcers decide what the laws are.

  7. Re:Great summary! on MariaDB vs. MySQL: A Performance Comparison · · Score: 1

    So if sub-domain.domain.com writes an original content, domain.com should never mention it even if domain.com is an aggregator of the type of news that sub-domain wrote content for?

    Would it be better if the sub-domain just spun off and you never even knew there was a relationship?

    Lobby your local Canadian MP to place a tarrif on all Corporate websites by pixel. The tarrif goes into a fund which is paid to Canadians who own cameras.

    Considering that MSE takes even longer than Clam to identify new ANYTHINGS, I'm not sure how much stock I put in that report.

    He did at least mention "sperm" but I believe it only counts with word boundaries because it is scored with regular expressions.

    Angiosperm does not count, because /\bsperm\b/

    Too bad you passed up the "my junk ejecting DNA" opportunity for a cheap insightful comment.

    there are thousands of powered parachutes in use, as well as auto-giros. (yes, i know, siam).

    I prefer to be free.

    You prefer to be safe.

    Luckily, my country wasn't created to be the land of the safe. Unfortunately, a free society creates more liberals over time who try continually to redefine their country because freedom is so web 1.0.

    Did I blame anyone? I know how it works. Same way it worked when Obama was elected the first time. It's just life.
    People who work 9-5 jobs can't be to Walmart fast enough to get the ammo, its all sold by the time it's put on the shelf.

    What's up with "nutters"? Do personal attacks somehow make your thesis more correct? Or does it just play well in an echo chamber?

    I understand there are people who don't like guns. There are people who don't like skateboards. Some people really like natural environments. There are people who refuse to pick up dog doo. such is life. No need to use stupid names for people you disagree with. It kind-of just makes you sound arrogant.
