  1. Re:Seriously? on Chicago Sun Times Swaps iPhone Training For Staff Photographers · · Score: 1, Interesting

    On average I see more beautiful photos on Facebook than in newspapers and magazines.

  2. Re:I'd be glad to see ISDN leave on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Future of Old Copper Pair Technology? · · Score: 1

    Sorry I meant "bridge", don't know why I wrote "drive".

  3. I'd be glad to see ISDN leave on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Future of Old Copper Pair Technology? · · Score: 1

    As someone who has worked on a IP/ISDN drive for a popular networking company, I'd be very happy to see ISDN leave forever.
    The protocols involved are horrid.

  4. German guy took part in the protest? on Turkish PM: "To Me, Social Media Is the Worst Menace To Society." · · Score: 0

    I don't care if he's of Turkish origin, if he left his country and became a German citizen, he has no right to go protest.

  5. Re: Why the iPhone of all thing? on Chicago Sun Times Swaps iPhone Training For Staff Photographers · · Score: 1

    So photographers have degrees to prove that they're ethical?
    Thank you, you just made my day.

    It's morning until you've had lunch.

    It's not designed for history bookkeeping, it's designed for consumerism.

    It doesn't matter who takes a picture of the event, what matters is that you have a picture to attach to your article.
    I don't really understand what's your point.

    There is no difference whether it's the reporter or anyone else, and I don't see why there should be.

  9. Re: Why the iPhone of all thing? on Chicago Sun Times Swaps iPhone Training For Staff Photographers · · Score: -1, Redundant

    That's an elitist view.
    There is no need for any sort of special professional to press a button on a handled camera device, DSLR or not.

    The photographs involved needn't be art, it's for a disposable newspaper.

  10. Re:Bytes or bits? on Supercomputers At TACC Getting a Speed Boost · · Score: 2

    You think the article author would know the difference?

  11. KVM on Ask Slashdot: Safe Learning Environment For VMs? · · Score: 1

    KVM is the virtualization technology that works the best with Linux.

  12. Re:Never a serious activity on NASA TESS Observatory Will Hunt For Alien Life On "Super-Earth" Exoplanets · · Score: 3, Informative

    You own link clearly says that the soviets independently developed their weapons and that no useful information was transmitted from this guy to soviet scientists.

  13. Re:Never a serious activity on NASA TESS Observatory Will Hunt For Alien Life On "Super-Earth" Exoplanets · · Score: 1

    The USSR did not steal nuclear weapon technology from the USA.

    In a lot of countries, noon is actually at 2 PM.

    Unrelated, but a lot of culture have dinner in the evening, not in the afternoon.

  16. Re:Linux OR Android? on BeagleBone Black Ships With New Linux 3.8 Kernel · · Score: 1

    I didn't know Richard Stallman was so open-minded. I guess it makes sense.
    Then again, these kinds of ideas are not well accepted, so it probably only serves to ostracize him.

    From my experience, even the amount of rejection you get for suggesting there is no reason why incest should be illegal is appalling.

  17. And I just dropped Google on Google Drops XMPP Support · · Score: 1

    I have no use for an instant messaging system that I can't use from dedicated third party instant messaging software.

    Ironically, it seems the only remaining large XMPP provider is Facebook.

  18. Re:Won't help with 'to-the-metal' apps on Intel Rolls Out "Beacon Mountain" Android Dev Platform For Atom · · Score: 1

    You realize you can compile the same source to get ARM or x86 binaries, with or without NEON/SSE/AVX ?

  19. How good is it? on Linux Mint 15 'Olivia' Release Candidate Is Out · · Score: 2

    I've been running Ubuntu for a long time, with increased disappointment at each upgrade, not all of which are caused by Canonical.
    I had been mostly OK for a time with GNOME fallback, or whatever it is that they call running gnome-panel and metacity. But now I've also had to replace Nautilus by Nemo (Cinnamon's Nautilus fork) because the latest Nautilus introduces too many regressions.

    Is Linux Mint what I need? Or should I just consider moving to Debian?

  20. Money-making scheme on NTSB Recommends Lower Drunk Driving Threshold Nationwide: 0.05 BAC · · Score: 1

    It's all but a money-making scheme, just like speed cameras.

    Finally allowed to get drunk.

    How about just using a photograph instead?

  23. Re: I dont want to live on this planet anymore on Engineering the $325,000 Burger · · Score: 1

    In the countries whose academia I'm familiar with, PhD grants, in all the science disciplines, are 3 years, with the occasional extension to a 4th year for late students. AFAIK it is the same in the US. Of course I wasn't counting the Master's degree, since that's unrelated.

    The fact that your education comes from a well-renowned university is irrelevant, since a lot of prestigious universities also teach psychology and other cognitive and social sciences, which are obviously not real science either.

    If I may give you some advice, stop being so butthurt about people on the Internet saying things that don't really matter.

  24. Re: I dont want to live on this planet anymore on Engineering the $325,000 Burger · · Score: 1

    Common sense is fraught with false positives, confirmation bias, and other logical fallacies.

    So is the pseudo-science you wasted three years of your life writing a thesis in.
    Do we really need to continue this discussion? I don't really see the point.
