  1. Re:Groan on Hospital Resorts To Cameras To Ensure Employees Wash Hands · · Score: 1

    No silly, it's the INSURANCE company's bottom line. Hospitals are the front men.

  2. Re:But Why? on New Best Way To Nuke a Short-Notice Asteroid · · Score: 1

    I submit, being shot with a bullet made from lead or uranium does not effect the outcome in a statisticaly significant way. Silver being the exception, for vampires.

  3. Re:It should be 'ODT', not 'ODF' on Aussie Government Proposes OpenDocument As the Standard Format · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure you goofed. Don't worry, nobody listens to AC.

  6. Re:Think of the aliens on Violent Galactic Clash May Solve Cosmic Mystery · · Score: 1

    yes if you change his argument, we can include elastic cords. But you still have to define randomness as "guided missile" and not possible as "possible" then his statement makes more sense.
    That's why we stick with car analogies. Then you could have defined the baseballs as cars traveling in opposite directions, but running on Mr. Fusion, and while the cars would never collide, The air from the tires would.
    ok , maybe we should skip the car analogy this time.

  7. Re:That's great news! on Intel's Linux OpenGL Driver Faster Than Apple's OS X Driver · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    He didn't compare it to anything asshole. He just asked a question - an admittedly troll like one, but you fell for it and went all windows on him didn't you? The real reason people are uncomfortable with Linux is because using it means you are probably surrounded by other people using it, and that means 1 out of 10 are douche bags like you.
    I thought about not posting this comment - but only for a minute.

  8. Re:Tool to condense forum posts into a wiki? on Why the 'Star Trek Computer' Will Be Open Source and Apache Licensed · · Score: 1

    i spent several years of my life learning cp/m convinced that each product bill produced would never amount to anything. I was mostly right.
    swap to disk. that was magic.
    I finally learned you can ALWAYS count on IBM to make the wrong choice. As did I. If it wasn't for Linux, I'd probably still be programming in REXX.

  9. If you want to improve efficiency in the dc on Will Robots Take Over the Data Center? · · Score: 1

    stop sending email alerts to 2,000 people every time i reboot a freakin server. Do you realize how many processing cycles are used up just by deleting all that crap that NOBODY ever reads?
    You can always see where the dead weight in a company is. People that aren't doing anything play with email. Most moderately tasked people fall back to spreadsheets. If your really high up the chain you get power point

  10. no, there are 2 things i can think of... on Will Robots Take Over the Data Center? · · Score: 1

    1. We still haven't standardized the dimensions of a 42u rack.
    2. These days it's much cheaper to hire 10 jockey's than build even 1 piece of automated equipment, much less a robot.
    3. Throw away servers, like throw away desktops, only with more economic incentive.
    ok that's three.

    See? somebody comes up with a really interesting idea, the government decides to fund it and the lowest bidders come out of the woodwork.
    No wonder these things never work!

  14. Re:Moral objection on Why We Should Build a Supercomputer Replica of the Human Brain · · Score: 1

    That's a ridiculous falsehood. I don't know who we is. I don't know how long, long is. And your cloudy explanation that the brain is the "source" of the soul is a vague juxtaposition of a mixture of philosophy and cultism and logic. Almost any thought experiment or even general sentiment among all who have one can conclude that the soul exists for the majority of it's eternity without a brain at all.
    I will agree that the symbiosis of the two brings us to the mystery where we are now as to ask WHY.
    But that's not what you said.
    You just muttered some seemingly innocuous gibberish that has monstrous implications were it to be true, and got modded insightful by people with undoubtedly big souls and small brains.

  17. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on USAF Strips 17 Officers of Nuclear Launch Authority · · Score: 1

    Please stop interpreting scripture on your own. You're not good at it. People that insist they have all the answers -- don't.
    I don't mind you taking a stab at it, but this is Slashdot after all. What's the point?
    Launching ALL of the worlds nuclear weapons at once, would probably get rid of just enough of the assholes to let the remaining ones enjoy a few thousand years of relative peace.
    Blow your matches boys.

    I wish all the people that think we are doomed would just leave. I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm just saying they haven't experienced varying degrees of doomedness. good luck on mars.

  20. 100 year life light bulbs is old tech on Cause of LED Efficiency Droop Finally Revealed · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The ability of marketers to convince people to overpay for absolute garbage, is eclipsed only by people willing to work for peanuts in the middle of the night when they should be sleeping.

  21. Re:multiply on Cause of LED Efficiency Droop Finally Revealed · · Score: 4, Funny

    In much the same way that 50 inane AC responses does equal the coherency of the parent.
    Invariably, like a game of "telephone", the subject switches to cars. -reading at -1 is the only true freedom. Moderation is an oxymoron.

    one of the world's greatest physicists and cosmologists. He's not even in the top 10. I doubt anyone outside the industry could name 10 physicists anyway.
    However, he has conditioned the public to accept his stupid statements, like 'We won't survive another 1,000 years without escaping our fragile planet.' only to retract them later to equal fanfare.
