  1. Not much of a case on America's Future Is In Software, Not Hardware · · Score: 1

    The United States is the world's leading producer of manufactured goods. Standing alone, the U.S. manufacturing sector would represent the fifth-largest economy in the world -- look it up.
    Producing tangible goods from raw materials is the only way to generate wealth. Everything else is just trading margins.
    car analogy: It's better to base your economy on the manufacture of cars rather than the selling and trading of gas to put in the car.
    When the U.S. starts rewarding companies that operate in the U.S. Apple and others will play along.

  2. This might help us switch to IPv6 faster on Hawaiian Bill Would Force ISPs to Track Users' Web Histories For 2 Years · · Score: 1

    We can then just pass information through DNS and a few hundred billion addresses directly instead of messing with all this html stuff. Of course that would mean they could take *all* my shit for their investigation.

  3. Re:You're not allowed to hate in America on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. Which is why you won't mind if I call you a fucking idiot for proposing arguments that could be answered by an informed 12 year old but can't be answered by someone who is too lazy and biased to discover the answer to a sophomoric academic question.
    There is a difference between not believing in anything and not knowing anything. There is also a difference between ignorance and stupidity.

  4. Re:Name revealed on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't mistake my nit picks. Your grammar leads your thought process and logic to the wrong conclusion. Religious beliefs may always be personal, but to say they must be *private* (as in not shared) which is what you mean, is absurd. Christianity demands communion (more than one person), which requires the use of the word "our" in the context of fellow Christians, not fellow Slashdotters. To use "my" in this context *would* be arrogant. (and factually wrong). Because it would assign a level of exclusiveness and superiority. Your response is typical of people who believe in freedom of speech until it conflicts with their own ideologies. People that feign offense at the very mention of any religion usually reveal their lack of substance and understanding in short order. The fact that OP was making a joke makes this whole thread even more hilarious.

    Maybe you would like to bitch about the Constitution as well?
    "Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven".

  5. Re:Can it be done effectivly without an FPU? on Faster-Than-Fast Fourier Transform · · Score: 1

    Slashdot could use a Insightful but -1 REALLY Dickish mod.

  6. Re:Name revealed on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And if he had used the word "my" you would have accused him of the same thing.
    Christianity is open source - you're free not to use it.

  7. Re:Nuke it from orbit on What To Do With a 1,000 Foot Wrecked Cruise Ship? · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's not normal to award points to an AC. If you had posted while logged in, you could have gotten credit for being moderated down for off topic, thus losing some credit. Works for me. I don't like to judge people. Ridiculing them is much more fun and adds to the liveliness of the board.

  8. It's not that hard on What To Do With a 1,000 Foot Wrecked Cruise Ship? · · Score: 1

    The damn thing was designed to float. It's not like nobody knows how to do it. Thanks to the Captain, it's so close to shore you could build a drydock (cofferdam) in place if you had to. Once you secure the hull and pump out the fuel the thing will pop up like a cork. You don't have to right the ship to tow it to a place where you have the equipment to do the rest safely and efficiently. It could be done inside of two weeks, but won't be because they will be fighting with the insurance company for the next 2 years instead.

  9. Re:It's better than no cert at all on Do Data Center Audits Mean Anything? · · Score: 1

    Actually, i was going for the "i can't spell MCSE but i are 1" gag. But my mind thinks faster than i type and something got lost in translation. No offense to cert holders out there - well maybe some.

  10. It's better than no cert at all on Do Data Center Audits Mean Anything? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    not entirely unlike MSCE, but less so.

  11. Device support on What's Keeping You On XP? · · Score: 1

    Do you have any idea how many printers and plotters HP made that they refuse to update drivers for? _ I'm not talking about $39 inkjets either. Just another reason your defense contractor hammer costs $200. XP will be here long after 2014.

  12. Re:(Fe,Ti,Zr)SiOx on Rare Moon Mineral Found On Earth · · Score: 1

    I take it not a single person actually read the article.

    And let the facts get in the way of an opinion? Not likely anyway, but we on Slashdot don't like taking chances.

  13. demand is set by the number of theaters on Why Do All Movie Tickets Cost the Same? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Which remains constant. And playing a bad movie is still better than having an empty theater.

  14. Re:KDE. on Ask Slashdot: Assembling a Linux Desktop Environment From Parts? · · Score: 1

    I'm gonna get me one of those too!... right after my flying car. But for the present, the ratio of laptops to tablets at the 4 fortune 500's i contract for is about 200:1. (The last exec who wanted Autocad loaded on his brand new shiny IPad was politely talked out of it.)

    ahhh, the law of unintended consequences. Seems we should have a government agency for that too!

    right , the hell with a swat team they should have nuked them from orbit ... only way to be sure. right guys? guys?
    i don't wonder why the US is in debt, and now i don't care. (apparently i have a lot of company - albeit not for the same reasons)

  18. efficient / small - pick any one on Scientists Create World's Smallest Steam Engine · · Score: 1

    there's nothing, in principle, to prevent the construction of highly efficient, small heat engines.

    Except, maybe the Carnot cycle? In steam engines, small and efficient aren't used in the same sentence.
    I notice they didn't include the laser apparatus in the size of their "microscopic engine" meh

    ummm, or you could pay zero (to verizon) and move to at least 3 other competitors, roku? for one.

    + $320/month for real estate overhead.

    Does that include the ivory tower?

  21. Re:We have another client that wants B on Intel and Micron Unveil 128Gb NAND Chip · · Score: 1

    Of course if you volunteered to pay for the increased project costs out of your own wallet, maybe you would have a case. But since you have already been told it won't increase your revenue, much less your profit, I don't see anyone going for that deal. So why should your boss? There is a reason you trained as a programmer and not as a manager/businessman. Get back inside the box.

  22. Re:So Cool... on Voyager Probes Give Us ET's View · · Score: 1

    By your logic, it would not have escaped the solar system.

    I checked all my keyboards. They range from 5V 50ma to 300ma. Odd in itself. Now I am off to build an LED array to power the solar cell. That should do it...
