  1. Re:Fix Akonadi, Nepomuk, etc. on What's Going On In KDE Plasma Workspaces 2? · · Score: 1

    The problem actually is that akonadi/neponuk simply can not be disabled without causing many errors (ignorable, but annoying). And if you try to remove the related packages, the package manager (APT, usually) tries to remove the entire KDE with him.

  2. Re:Nooooooo! Just shut up and buy a dinosaur saddl on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Explain That Humans Didn't Ride Dinosaurs? · · Score: 1

    Hahahaha, true, true... But, if you read ./ you do not have beautiful girlfriends, even if you are a ogre, werewolf, vampire or even a dragon like me :-)

  3. Re:Nooooooo! Just shut up and buy a dinosaur saddl on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Explain That Humans Didn't Ride Dinosaurs? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have a wonderful and beautiful girlfriend who treats me right in every way

    This part is a April's Fool day prank.

    Very well said.

  5. Re:Sound business practice. Almost. on Adobe To Australians: Fly To US For Cheaper Software · · Score: 2

    Globalization is only valid when you are a large multinational company. When you're a mere consumer, you are obligated to buy from local seller for any price they want to charge. Yep, you can buy abroad, but your government (at least mine does) tries to make such act as most expensive and difficult as possible.

    Globalization for corps, feudalism to consumers.

  6. Re:Da Big Bang... on Study Finds Universe Is 100 Million Years Older Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    I believe that "theory" is a good label in this case. Given that currently we have several good clues but - as far as I know - no conclusive proof yet. As example, our universe may be just a bubble within an even larger universe, why not?

    PS: I do not intend here to "discredit" the theory of the Big Bang, just like to remember how important it is to avoid saying something is "undeniable truth" without absolute certainty that you're seeing all the variables involved.

  7. Re:The difference between science and religion on Study Finds Universe Is 100 Million Years Older Than Previously Thought · · Score: 3

    "The ultimate test of moral fiber has always been "doing the right thing when nobody is watching", how is it possible for someone who believes in an omnipresent god to take that test?"

    Very, very well said.

  8. Re:Offended by Offense on SendGrid Fires Employee After Firestorm Over Inappropriate Jokes · · Score: 1

    Irrational? It would be nice if you were right, but what I described is based on personal experience and observation of what happens in the world. Results of observation and conclusion, not supposition.

    As a man, I can tell you that working with a woman is highly dangerous these days. Why? Even if you are the more respectful and polite guy as possible, sooner or later she will think you are "stalking" her and she will try to to make your life into a hell (except if you're rich or have the appearance of a film actor). For this reason I interact only with ladies older than me, the "young females" these days act as if they were being abused by anyone that make the mistake of reaching within a meter of them.

    And good luck in the new frontier

  11. Re:more likely, private business on Cubans Evade Censorship By Exchanging Flash Drives · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here in Brazil we have many people like Yoani: Reinaldo Azevedo, Paulo Francis, Merval Pereira, even magazines like "Veja". All working hard to say that Brazil is "threatened by The Red Terror" and that the only salvation would be free and unrestricted capitalism (you should know the threat that is a capitalism practiced without limits...).

  12. Re:Yoani Sanchez is not next door blogger on Cubans Evade Censorship By Exchanging Flash Drives · · Score: 1

    She is backed by USA, maybe CIA. Nothing really new.

  13. Re:Fix Akonadi, Nepomuk, etc. on What's Going On In KDE Plasma Workspaces 2? · · Score: 2

    Second for Akonadi-Nepomuk failure. The two are the first thing I completely remove from a new installation.

    Who puts this bullshit as "insightful"?

    I can solve this with a single missile :-)

  16. Re:Could you explain? on SpaceX Cargo Capsule Reaches International Space Station · · Score: 1

    Considering that wrong things ALWAYS happen sooner or later, I would trust more in a company that knows how to solve contingencies than one who has never had to deal with it.

  17. Re:Nothing will ever make them happy on Controversy Over Violet Blue's Harm Reduction Talk · · Score: 1

    Woo... I earned a flamebait! We have at least one feminist here :-)

  18. Re:Nothing will ever make them happy on Controversy Over Violet Blue's Harm Reduction Talk · · Score: 0

    well ... For most feminists, the simple act of you approaching one of them is already a unacceptable and threatening attitude, punishable with death. (Unless you're rich and beautiful as a film actor)

  19. Re:delay time on Future Fighters Won't Need Ejection Seats · · Score: 1

    Sociopaths already have financial power, now they want physical power through weapons that they can command themselves with the push of a button. That is why this insistence on autonomous weapons.

  20. Re:Meaningless? on Illinois Politician Wants a Kill Switch For Anonymous Speech Online · · Score: 1

    The detail is that you do not really have freedom of speech. It is an illusion maintained to ensure that people remain docile.

  21. Re:I don't think the cypher is the problem. on US Stealth Jet Has To Talk To Allied Planes Over Unsecured Radio · · Score: 1

    ...Any transmission can provide a raid warning...

    Is not necessary to be able to decode a radio transmission to know that someone are attacking you, is enough to know where it come from and check if any ally is at the origin of the signal.

  22. Re:Okay but this doesn't explain some points on CNN Replicates John Broder's Drive In the Tesla Model S · · Score: 1

    "Do Teslas not work in the cold?"

    Here in Brazil, I do not need to worry about that. But ,supposing that does not work so well in the cold as would work here, would be fair to I not be able to have one of these because he do not work so well for the north-americans?

  23. Where I can get one? on CNN Replicates John Broder's Drive In the Tesla Model S · · Score: 1

    I can go to my parents home with 270 miles range. And if I had a car (actually I do not need one), 270 miles would be more than necessary for me to go from home to work and back, many times. Where do I get one for me? I can not imagine anything better for driving in a city than a car that does not need to keep the engine running when stopped at a traffic light and does not pollute the air.
