  1. Re:Why the ridicule? on Facebook Tests "Satire" Tag To Avoid Confusion On News Feed · · Score: 1

    I understand the point of Facebook when I remember that most people are too stupid to understand any satire. That said, the problem with the idea is who will score the news as satires and with what objectives.

  2. Re:It isn't only Windows 8 on Windows 8.1 Update Crippling PCs With BSOD, Microsoft Suggests You Roll Back · · Score: 1

    Maybe because do it in the kernel is much faster than doing it in user space, and being a function where performance is critical? Do not take hasty conclusions without knowing why the original decision was made.

    Welcome to the new world where using a computer became so easy that any ignorant can use. But do not worry, someday - maybe - he will learn that problems can happen however much you try to avoid them.

  4. Re:Niggers. on Ebola Quarantine Center In Liberia Looted · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yor idea is sound, but will be downmodded because people in the civilized world do not understand that civilized world solutions do not usually work in a country that culturally is still in the Stone Age.

  5. How will the future... on Humans Need Not Apply: a Video About the Robot Revolution and Jobs · · Score: 3, Funny

    In the view of CEOs and super-richs:

    The world will be populated by a hundred (or slightly less) of super-rich people, surrounded by thousands and thousands of robots. Around them you will see billions of bones of those who failed to buy private robotic armies to protect them.

    But this will be temporary, because shortly after that hundred will turn against each other, after all greed has no limits . They will kill each other as greed commands, and when the last survivor die of old age will be left only the robots.

  6. Re:Why is this better than simulation? on A Thousand Kilobots Self-Assemble Into Complex Shapes · · Score: 1

    In a simulation you can only test know situations. A practical test shows the situations you missed.

    1.3km of maybe solid iron and nickel? Send a goddamn spaceship to it and bring it to a foundry!

  8. Ahh ... So I will improve my question, putting a little context. Here in Brazil, not even the "2G" (EDGE) signal works stably, 3G only works occasionally in the center of the great capitals and 4G is virtually nonexistent. And if that is not bad enough, most carriers provides an unstable connection that practically only serves to make you be charged (is charged per connection in many cases) and then stops working. So imagine what happens when you try to use torrents on this junk.

  9. Uh... Who is mad, or desperate enough, to use torrents on a unreliable, slow and capped as hell cellular connection?

  10. Re:Might cause a re-thinking of the F-35 on Long-Wave Radar Can Take the Stealth From Stealth Technology · · Score: 1

    build a ground radar station with long-wave, or an aircraft where the required antenna is part of the wings leading edge. Then build missiles programmed to chase the echoes created by this long-wave radar when it reaches an F-35. And then watch the spectacle of fireworks created by the F-35 falling from the sky.

  11. Bye bye Internet on Russia Cracks Down On Public Wi-Fi; Oracle Blocks Java Downloads In Russia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It was good while it lasted. Now the real owners of the world came to the conclusion that the internet undermines the total control of them, so they are eliminating it as they did with many other technologies and groups who tried to give power to the people.

  12. Funny on Verizon Throttles Data To "Provide Incentive To Limit Usage" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So... In short, the company wants me to pay full price for the service and expect me to not use it? I pay for a car, but I can not use it? Ok, I give up trying to understand the humans...

  14. Re:Makes sense on Ancient Skulls Show Civilization Rose As Testosterone Fell · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not, I have witnessed such cases and explained to me that they were caused by excess testosterone (natural or injected supplements). Now to give opinion on Slashdot is necessary for you to be a doctor on the subject? Well, you have every right to not like what others say.

  15. Makes sense on Ancient Skulls Show Civilization Rose As Testosterone Fell · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Subjects with high levels of testosterone behave pretty much like savages animals, I have witnessed such cases. They behave aggressively, always trying to harm other men (domination, "alpha male") and trying to take woman by force, there is no way to have cooperation between this type of people. The chance to have cooperation between this type of people is very small.

  17. Re:Efficient? on Quiet Cooling With a Copper Foam Heatsink · · Score: 1

    According to some tests I did a while ago with conventional passive heatsinks, if the exterior surface of the heatsink is reaching 50C that means that the processor below is getting much hotter than 50C. Big trouble.

  20. Re:Pft on The Daily Harassment of Women In the Game Industry · · Score: -1, Troll

    Women wants only alpha males, period.

    Almost all men are not alpha male, but instinct says "screw it, try anyway" with varying degrees of intensity ( depending on the education of the male can be from a polite "hello" to a rude "hi delicious").

    Nowadays, if a non-alpha male approach a woman, she considers the approach as an act of aggression, regardless of what the male say ("hello" or "hi delicious"). Only a alpha male gets a friendly response.

    Result: The educated males give up, and women end knowing only rudes because only rudes insist regardless of the response of women.

  21. Re:Misleading title on Researchers Find Evidence of How Higgs Particle Imparts Mass · · Score: 2

    I think the same thing. I found nothing inside the TFA about the mechanism they are testing nor what is the relation with the obtained data.

  22. Re:So, uh... How? on Researchers Find Evidence of How Higgs Particle Imparts Mass · · Score: 1

    I second that. I honestly are unable to find on the summary or TFA the explanation of why researchers think they found evidence of how the Higgs works, TFA seems to speak only about energy levels, nothing about the operating mechanism and how the data suggest that it is correct.

    You are a really really stupid and insistent troll, impressive... When I need portability, I just use my netbook (eight hours or more of battery). And when I want to play games or do something CPU intensive, I go to the desktop. I simply use the best tool for each task, rather than a asshole troll who not content with being stupid still try to offend those who are not stupid.

  25. Re:Microsoft craps its pants on Leaked Build of Windows 9 Shows Start Menu Return · · Score: 1

    Look... After more than ten years using many, many Linux distros, my conclusion is that the linux desktop (linux server works fine, thank you) is still a work in progress and probably always will be, never ready for serious use. Because whenever I think my desktop is finally usable, some retarded change something fundamental (gnome team, seen them around?) and I have to fix it again. And even when it is working the overall desktop performance is always inferior to the performance of Windows on the same hardware.
