It would be nice if the Oklahoma Legislature would use some of this money to halt its war on education. With 22% annual budget cuts, Oklahoma schools aren't doing so well. http://newsok.com/report-oklahoma-leads-nation-in-percentage-of-cuts-to-school-funding/article/3882174
Slashdot does not care one whit. You are no longer the customer. The more time of yours they can waste, the more money they make selling it to their customers.
This is absolutely right. It's also easier to write, in many cases. Most scientific applications don't need things like lambda expressions or derived classes. Many people who write applications as tools in their research don't want to spend time learning esoteric aspects of languages.
Slashdot won't take this comment because I typed it too fast, so I'll type some more. Apparently Slashdot designers no longer use keyboards, because their new site is so cumbersome and slow to use with a keyboard, and they have no clue how long it takes to type a comment.
You are incorrect. For example, the National Park Service ordered their rangers to begin using the term "Climate Change" and stop using "Global Warming" around 2005 or 2006. This also took place in many other agencies that dealt with the public. Previously, "Global Warming" had been used in official publications.
Get a cheap, new VHS player. It's higher quality than the expensive ones were 30 years ago. Something like Toshiba SD-V296. A used one will probably work, but you're taking a chance that it's sold because it's unreliable.
Slashdot thinks I type too fast, so they won't take this comment until I wait a while. I can only guess that they want more drivel to fill the white space on the page.
I agree. Software should be made (and kept) fast and easy. Pretty screens with hidden functions are counterproductive, regardless of how clean it looks in the boardroom.
Does this mean the new menu requires an additional mouse click? I can hit alt-B for bookmarks today. If I upgrade, do I lose this functionality? Does anybody care about ease of use any more, or is it just looks?
They should ban electricity in science fair projects. Electricity is highly dangerous. People die from electrocution every year, some of whom are not even enjoying capital punishment.
I hate to break it to you, but there was much more police and political abuse in the U.S. 40 years ago. There was just no efficient internet or cell phone communications that we have today. Most misdeeds in the 1960's and 1970's were largely unknown beyond a few dozen people. Things have improved immensely. Most police and even a few politicians are honest today.
It takes more energy to make hydrocarbons from water and CO2 than you get when you burn the hydrocarbons. It's the law. Without a LOT if energy input, you'll never create the fuel.

That's got to be really embarrassing, especially for all the people who didn't catch the error.

Injection wells are the cause, according to USGS.

Sure, if you consider the bribes, campaign contributions, lobbying gifts, and other payouts.

Sure, but think of all the electrons moving around in SSDs.
Usability and functionality are no longer relevant. All that matters is how it looks in a boardroom presentation. Get out of the stone age, man!

Maybe they're not so good at web sites.

Yet the White House has no qualms about discrimination based on lack of net neutrality. They can be bought.
It's bad for business to sue your customers.
Why all the Fox News links all of a sudden? Did Fox News buy Slashdot? I wouldn't bet a lot of money on the accuracy of this fine piece of journalism.
This might be good for splitting wood, but there are a lot more uses for an axe. This axe wouldn't work well for most other uses.
Fox News hysteria, now available on slashdot!
Starfish prime is interesting, though.

Why not upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7?
In about 250 BC, the Greek mathematician Archimedes figured out that you could inscribe and circumscribe polygons on a circle, calculate the length of the polygon, and get an upper and lower bound of pi. He was accurate to 1/1000.
... in exchange for how many billion dollars in profit?
