  1. Re:i interpret it to mean on Can Science Ever Be "Settled?" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    as the OP suggested a law or something that is considered settled doesn't mean its immutable simply that it has held up to enough scrutiny to be accepted and used without the need to reconfirm its results. It does not mean that it should never be questioned and reexamed, nor does it mean it cannot be changed in light of new evidence

    they can be isolated safely without the extremes of solitary confinement being locked in a tiny box and not being allowed any type of communication is not for the safety of other prisoners its vindictive

  13. Re:oops on The Emerging RadioShack/Netflix Debacle · · Score: 4, Insightful

    this seems to be a big deal for no reason, a large corporation has to eat the cost of a few Netflix subscriptions and get a website patched.

    4) Slashdot itself is most likely being paid by the US government to tolerate this

    Probably not paid but possibly forced :P

    if that what you want then use every other site on the fucking internet thats not what we want here

    that's pretty much it, if you do insist on redesigning slashdot, at least keep it slashdot, this change was drastic and generic. we dont need another news site thats exactly like all the other news sites, we want this site, as is if you really really want to change a font somewhere sure, go nuts tinker that css a little bit

    but do not expect us to react well to turning this site into generic garbage.
