    Woosh potential measuring over 50 gelgars, but here goes nothing...

    illiterate = unable to read or write

    If aliterate isn't in the OED, can we try to get it it?

    Didn't Google also, for a while at least, artificially downgrade the PageRank for some of their services in response?

    All ideas should be considered, no matter how ridiculous. Not all should be practised though.

  5. Re:If you dump al that light on crops, on Solar Geoengineering Could Lead To Whiter, Brighter Skies · · Score: 2

    The light's not going on the crops though - it's being sent back out into space. I guess the crop yields improve because the soil is cooler, and retains more moisture and nutrients.

    Well, if there is no matter then certainly wouldn't matter as you wouldn't matter because there would be no matter to make someone like you ;-)

    That works for the theoretical aspects. (Soft|Hard)ware Engineering covers the practical aspects.

    The problem is Information Systems, which is basically IT with extra maths, but is often taught by CS departments.

  13. Re:Funny how things work out on Researchers 'Map' Android Malware Genome · · Score: 1

    Remember how Slashdot spent 10+ years mocking Windows for being a malware-laden cesspool of unremovable OEM junkware with an antivirus industry built around it? Embarrassed yet?

    Did something change? Windows is still the cesspool of malware and virus laden applications and it's responsible for most of the world's SPAM. It's also the preferred OS of Bots. It's so full of holes they need to release patches for it every week just to keep up with all of the zero days found.

    All because Windows has over 90% market share.

    If OSX or Linux had the same market share, then they'd see the vast majority of malware instead.

    Isn't that using faith in God to help deal with the suffering? Sort of like saying 'it's shit now, but it'll come good in the end'.

  17. Re:...Or you could just not go to porn sites on Ultra-Orthodox Jews Rally For a More Kosher Internet · · Score: 1

    Those who become violent are NOT close to God. I'm not sure about Islam, but making others suffer is the antithesis of what Christ taught.

    Someone better tell the Crusaders about that. Oh, and those in Northern Ireland involved in the Catholic/Protestant violence.

    Actually, I have no idea how busy the Warsaw subway is. I just couldn't resist the joke :)

  19. Re:My experience on worlds subways on World's Subways Share Common Mathematical Structure · · Score: 1

    Cost.

    If Subway did offer an 8-inch sub, then they'd be left with loads of 4-inch stubs that no-one wants, which would increase waste.

    The alternative, making 8- and 12-inch sub rolls, would mean a potential increase in required oven/rack space, which would mean an expensive renovation in most branches.

    Why not? If Apple's claims are quashed, Sprint sells the phones as normal. If not, HTC gets them back and refunds Sprint.

    So Google's using their biggest rival in the market to kill a company that distributes phones with a Google-sourced OS.

    That's like removing the wings from a plane to make it fly better.
