  1. Best of both worlds, Montessori? on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 1

    Every Montessori school/group of schools seem different but I've seen many good ones in different countries/states. There are both private and in some cases integrated into the public system Montessori schools. I'm sure quality and, even if they are following state/provincial education guidelines, flakiness, but with a little research you can find a school at a reasonable price that will treat your child as an individual, yet help them grow socially too.

  2. Re:not developed by a responsible team? on Theo De Raadt's Small Rant On OpenSSL · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My understanding is Theo said: Developers on a security product made a conscious decision to turn off last line of defence security for all platforms in the interest of performance on some systems. That does not sound like and unfortunate error to me, it sounds outright irresponsible.

  3. Re:The Beta should have a killswitch! on California Bill Proposes Mandatory Kill-Switch On Phones and Tablets · · Score: -1

    Fuck off with your spam.

  4. Re:"Mission Accomplished" on Bill Gates Acknowledges Ctrl+Alt+Del Was a Mistake · · Score: 1

    Bill Gates is a total idiot? Either you misunderstood which Bill Gates this is about or you need to go buy a dictionary.

  5. Re:Protection against drunk posting on Campaign To Kill CAPTCHA Kicks Off · · Score: 2

    I think in all of N.A. a stiff drink is any hard liqueur, with or with out ice.

  7. Re:This is good for the US on Foxconn Sees New Source of Cheap Labor: The United States · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm torn as to which metaphor should have the honour of bludgeoning you, the buggy whip or the ostrich head. Progress marches on: keep up or stop for tea with Ozymandias.

  8. Re:old and arm on Ask Slashdot: Little Boxes Around the Edge of the Data Center? · · Score: 2

    I wont dare tell you how much you pay per KWh but 38 watts at 9 cents per KWh would cost me just shy of $30 per year: http://www.citytrf.net/costs_calculator.htm

    So criminal organizations should are good and should be nurtured?

  10. Re:One thing you may find on Ask Slashdot: How To Ask College To Change Intro To Computing? · · Score: 1
  11. Re:Bigger != Better on Don't Super-Size My Smartphone! · · Score: 1

    I've been thinking about this. I can buy clip on battery packs of various sizes for many standard phone formats. This is awesome. Most of the time I can wander around with a light phone. The times I'm going to need longer battery life I can clip a battery to the back and off I go.

  12. Buy home insurance on Ask Slashdot: Best Option For Heavy-Duty, Full-Home Surge Protection? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The cost of a whole home UPS/surge protectors is going to be rather more than the equipment it protects. Protect sensitive electronics. If you are rural consider burying the electrical lines from property line to the house.

  13. Re:Just now they're "disgruntled"? on Microsoft Shareholders Unhappy After Annual Meeting · · Score: 1

    Well most stocks went down over the same period and MSFT has been increasing their dividend slowly. I don't and wont own any but for a large company it has not done too badly. Going forward I can not imagine it ever growing at the historic rates, they are just too large and intrenched, but I don't expect they will do too badly either.

  14. Re:Real or just political maneuvering? on Space Station To Be Deorbited After 2020 · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Slow and steady on Cut Down On Nukes To Shave the Deficit · · Score: 2

    Read the history books about any country: They've done a lot of violent warfare.

  20. Transfer Cedits? on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree Without Gen-Ed Requirements? · · Score: 1

    Skills besides programming are very important unless you want to be an underpaid code monkey. You say you have already taken or otherwise have the needed "Life Skills". Well find a good University you want to go to then figure out how much of their Gen-Ed you can skip through by transferring your credits in or getting life skills credit. Other than that if you are looking for programming only, it is called a trade school here, and is worth little more than previous experience in the field.

  21. Re:Indeed on British Student Faces Extradition To US Over Copyright · · Score: 1

    I think you have your hemispheres mixed up. He is eating Newfoundland, Iceland, the British Isles and Scandinavia.

    When it comes to the most revolting swear word in the whole of the known universe, I think a little censorship is to be forgiven.
