    Not Ebola, the drooling morons that refuse to vaccinate their kids. THEY are the problem.

  2. Re:Not this shit again on Bill Nye Disses "Regular" Software Writers' Science Knowledge · · Score: 1, Informative

    Dude, we had a discussion about processor not long ago here on slashdot and MANY CS grads and professionals said that processors work with decimal Integer and decimal floating point math and are not binary anymore.

    Sorry but they are BINARY. every single processor in use today are Binary, the Address and Data lines are 0 or 1 and then they at the base do binary math. You can't send a 2 or 3 in through any of the single Data pins. and when it goes out it's Binary. The fact that CS grads are so low educated that they will argue the point and ignore that a computer is still 100% binary is incredibly sad.

    I personally believe that to get a CS degree you should be forced to take an EE class every semester. If you don't understand the hardware, then you are an ineffective programmer.

    Yep. a CS grad is 100% useless at spotting a computer hardware error. Honestly the first 3 classes should be logic gates and basic digital electronics to force CS grads to at least have a basic understanding.

    Yup, the story headline needs to read, " are stupid people using smartphones as an excuse to be rude"

    The answer is yes. Dumb people are being dumber. Kudos for you, I will also stand my ground, a friend of mine that is 6ft 9 inches tall will actually plant his feet so he is a brick wall and then say, "sorry, I know I am kind of hard to see..."

    People in general are scumbag assholes. And if you are smart and save your entire country, the assholes will beat you down anyways.

    Ask Neil Degrasse Tyson how much hate mail he gets from the idiot assholes of the world. Just look at the man's twitter feed.

    If you are smart, the raging morons of the world will hate you. This is a stone cold fact.

    On the same note, Most CS guys could not survive 10 minutes in an embedded systems world. And it's not because those of us in Embedded systems don't have the skills, it's because the Idiots in upper management wont let us have the resources to do it right. If I can give you 900% more security by raising the cost of the box by $0.10 each then you freaking do it, not the "it will probably go unnoticed, so it's not that important" crap I hear.

  18. Yes and no.... on Ask Slashdot: How Could We Actually Detect an Alien Invasion From Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    Always remember, if a species figured out interstellar flight, then they are centuries ahead of us in technology. It would be the equivalent of monkeys with rocks against stealth bombers. Except.... the monkeys do have a weapon that would decimate nearly anything any alien race could come up with. It's a horrible weapon, and would probably leave the planet useless..

    Dig deep holes, put a nuclear bomb at the bottom of the hole, and cap it off with the biggest heaviest single piece steel plug we can find. Basically we are making a Nuclear canon and using the earth as a gun. When you detonate the bomb, the steel plug will be thrown with so much energy that it will destroy nearly anything on it's way through it. And yes if you did things right you could take out giant indestructable ships in orbit with this, you just have to wait for the ship to go overhead.
