  1. Re: I think IBM is working on it on Ask Slashdot: Why Are We Still Writing Text-Based Code? · · Score: 1

    Timex had something like that for BASIC. One key per code. It really wasn't a bad idea. Definitely a time saver.

    3 Exabytes would be plenty, if they had free access to all servers.

  5. Re:Expect more of this. on The Black Underbelly of Windows 8.1 'Blue' · · Score: 1

    I moved to Linux when Windows Vista came out. I had dueling hard drives, until one gave out. I decided I didn't need Windows anymore, and never went back.

    I am one that switched to Linux because of Microsoft. I did so 7 years ago. I was tired of the thinly veiled extortion, and all the bugs that needed to be patched every Tuesday. Plus, having to run 3 antivirus/antimalware programs. Now, I make money from fixing infected Windows machines using Linux. When I fix an infected Windows machine, I tend to laugh at it, and am glad I left that platform. I do not like being strong armed by a software company. For the record, I don't like Apple either. The only one I liked out of the trio was Wosniak. He would do well to remake Apple the Steve way.

  7. Re:FINALLY! on City-Sized Ice Shelf Breaks Free Of Antarctica · · Score: 1

    That map is cool, but it doesn't zero out properly. Most of Fiesta Island was underwater at zero. I guess that's why it's in beta. OTL is gonna have a rough time playing underwater this weekend.

  8. Re:Mars, the solid rocket fuel factory on Future Astronauts Must Deal With Toxic Chemicals In Martian Soil · · Score: 1

    That's what I was thinking.

    Exactly! Besides that, there seems to be some sort of conflict in the law regarding minors. Either they are, or they aren't a minor. No in between. It's like being almost pregnant. If this had been a case of child molestation, or other violence, such as a mass murder, she would be considered a child.

    The solution is to have license ratings, just like aircraft, limos, or 18 wheelers. Proper training for the application.

    Of course there is a correlation! When a person has a very high IQ, the rest of the world really is stupid! The worst part is that the rest of the population thinks they are very smart, is insistent on being right, and has the guns to prove it!

    Genesis is a false book. It claims that "Adam" was "created" in the year 4223 BCE. http://www.bibleworldhistory.com/Table1.htm When, in reality, civilization existed before that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10th_millennium_BC Therefore, the book of Genesis is false.
