  1. Re:Global Warming is true, and deadly .. on "Dramatic Decline" Warning For Plants and Animals · · Score: 1

    Yes, those massive cattle farms exist to feed aliens, who otherwise would be feasting on humans.

  2. Re:Not a new problem on USAF Strips 17 Officers of Nuclear Launch Authority · · Score: 1

    Just a slight correction, Minot is in North Dakota.

  3. Re:Detected by seismic network on Huge Explosion at Texas Fertilizer Plant · · Score: 1

    I checked the site for other recent events, and there have a surprisingly large number of high-intensity quakes/tremors in the past week or so. Or maybe since I'm not a seismologist, this might be normal? Any thoughts?

  4. Re:How Tragic on Huge Explosion at Texas Fertilizer Plant · · Score: 2

    Not quite, as Bhopal was already a large city (approx. 350,000 people in 1970; plant construction completed in 1969) even before the plant was constructed.

  5. Re:Now Apple should pay 1/10th of it's value on German Court Finds Apple's 'Slide To Unlock' Patent Invalid · · Score: 2

    By that logic, the converse should be true as well.

    Are you guys using some pro version of Google Translate? Coz Flaimbait and Zealot don't appear as supported languages in my browser...

    The irony here burns the soul.

  8. Re:many people will suggest LFS on Ask Slashdot: New To Linux; Which Distro? · · Score: 1

    I have built just the system you are advising against (CLFS x64 for the base, BLFS for extra). Granted, it's not for newbs, and takes a long time to get right. But I have now incorporated a package manager in it (slackware slackbuilds-based, and re-written pacman to support them) and it works great. Of course I have to compile each time I want something new, but then i just run the script and it does all the building stuff.

    The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

    Uh, what? Suse is deployed in diverse corporate environments. The London Stock Exchange comes to mind.

  13. Re:Just ID computers on CAPTCHA Using Ad-Based Verification · · Score: 2

    My ISP leases me an IP address for a period of 24 hours. It then resets. How does your solution work out for me?

  14. Re:Run Linux on Apple Angers Mac Users With Silent Shutdown of Java 7 · · Score: 1

    Yep...I mean it took a whole week for xulrunner, openjdk and other assortments to compile on my Pentium, so by the time new bugs sprout out, I'm compiling fixes again. Never has any Java vulnerability ever affected me. But since this means I don't get much use out of firefox, I'm using elinks for my browsing, and elinks's java plugin is rock solid. I think it's made by IBM.

  15. Re:Isn't it obvious? on What Did Google Earth Spot In the Chinese Desert? · · Score: 1

    Most of Google-Earth's revenue comes from conspiracy-theorists searching for the next Roswell.

    The salt in the seawater would neutralise the acid in the lemon juice. Sriracha potion would work better.

    No, they usually have their necks wrung. This is done not by the farm owners themselves, but by vets in biohazard suits from the animal husbandry and poultry dept.
