  1. Re:Upwards? on NASA Considers Sending Telescope To the Outer Solar System · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The radiation envelope of the solar system is much wider than it is tall.

    No, you are wrong. You are probably correct on the dust, but not on the radiation envelope: the Solar Wind is much more powerful in its polar emissions than its equatorial ones.

  2. Re:Not for long? on Canonical To Remove Sun Java From Repositories, Users' Machines · · Score: 1

    Notice how the ONLY answer you can come up with is "nigger faggot cocksucker"

    No, and you carefully omitted my points which, seen from some of your previous posts, is something you keep indulging in. You keep on rambling and rambling, believing that you have understood what the comment is, where in fact -brace yourself- you haven't. You also call it 'answer' where in actuality I asked you questions, but you are apparently too busy smelling your own farts to notice and in your defensive little self you think everybody is out to get you, so you show your teeth from line one.

    A friendly advice: let go a bit, and start trusting people, while you still have time.

    Another one: you may be a smart guy, maybe more than average where you live in, but that doesn't mean there are no others smarter than you, and

    Last one: splash some water to your face, go read my post again but this time without allowing the little sinister voices in your head to translate it for you. Try to see what it is that I am trying to say, not what you think I am saying because -and that might come as a surprise to you- you may be wrong.

    That said, you are (and without the tiniest amount of discretion) omitting that

    a) Linux is free,

    b) One can hire someone to maintain it, have courses, or become self-taught by both experience and example,

    c) "Mr Tiny 7" or whatever gets you back to square one, since you would have to hack your own machine (alas, especially for windows users) so your point on "optimizing/tweaking" W7 to get them to "run" in small resources is moot by your own argumentation,

    d) Linux rules the server world, and

    e) there are several ways to make your point into a slashdot post without acting like a dick which you, as I see from some of your previous posts, is something you are inclined to.

    So feel free to ramble on after this post, I am only going to answer if you post something worthy of answering.

    FYI I use a Mac, so I guess you FAILed this one.

    Whoa. Hold on a minute there, King of the Trolls, don't you think you are comparing apples with oranges?

    And do you seriously believe that ditching Linux from Asus was not a result of lobbying? How about loading them with resource-hogging Windows 7? On a friggin' 1 Gb RAM NETBOOK?

    Or did you miss the part where not everybody has moneygrants from their daddy to buy all these shiny gadgets?

  4. They did? on Self-Contained PC Liquid Coolers Explored · · Score: 3, Funny

    I read, "Self-Contained PC Liquid Coolers Exploded"

  5. Re:Accountability on Coming Soon: Ubiquitous Long-Term Surveillance From Big Brother · · Score: 1

    I believe the tradeoff is worth it because ubiquitous technology in the hands of citizens can be more powerful than in the hands of government.

    Or, the "tradeoff is worth it" because the goverments are going to go ahead and do it anyway, so citizens might as well find a way to use technology to their benefit sooner rather than later.

    There is no "tradeoff" here. You could had called it a "tradeoff" if you had a choice, which you do not.

  6. Re:The crew needs women. on Ask Slashdot: Technical Advice For a (Fictional) Space Mission? · · Score: 1

    Momentum is conserved, so if you're both thrusting towards each other and pulling apart you would remain stationary. Or you could just use a padded room and bounce off the walls periodically. The bigger problem with zero-g sex is that a nerd's reaction to being weightless is nausea, not horniness. Puking from being spun around while already feeling motion sick is a real turn off.

  7. You don't get it, do you: on Iranian TV Shows Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    The drone is a trojan horse. It is still on mission, doing exactly what it is supposed to.

  8. Re:Using tech is Hip, on Is the Maker Movement Making It Cool For Kids To Be Nerds? · · Score: 1

    Consider being nicer to nerds- you will probably end up working for one.

    When they say "fix", does that mean it doesn't send the info, or their sending of info is harder to trace?

    It means that "they didn't inhale"

  11. Re:Soon to be ... on Asteroid Lutetia Revealed As a Protoplanet · · Score: 1

    To my understanding, proto-planet is a clump of matter that hasn't been locked into being a planet yet, but it is about to.

    As in proto-star: a blob of gas that is still contracting.

    To the best of my knowledge, calling this a proto-planet is wrong.

  14. Number Out Of Ass on Your Tech Skills Have a Two Year Half-Life · · Score: 1

    Granted, professional and experienced ass, and the use of a halflife as a measurement is appropriate and to-the-point, but still it is a number drawn straight out of someone's ass.

    For a non-trolling point: it really depends on what your skills are on- knowing Java, C/C++ and your way around Linux ALWAYS pays off.

  15. That's not the right question. on Why Economic Models Are Always Wrong · · Score: 1

    Did you ever wonder how and why professional economists often seem to get it wrong in terms of predicting consequences or policies accurately (or even at all)?

    No, but I have been wondering how and why they get to keep their job after they get it wrong.

  16. Orbiting on DARPA Proposes Ripping Up Dead Satellites To Make New Ones · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Good luck... on Australian Malls To Track Shoppers By Their Phones · · Score: 1

    My 2 cents are that UK can be pretty stiff into exporting to the rest of EU too - not so much with books, but it is almost impossible to get anything BUT a book from amazon.co.uk.

    On the other hand, amazon.de seems to be shipping whatever you ask, and they have pretty sweet deals in electronics too, plus they ship all over EU. Laptops can be easily bought this way, for example, and a host of more specialized electronic components from other (non-amazon) under very fair pricing and shipped globally.

    Some US sites are good too in prices and shipping, but there is always the risk of the item being intercepted by customs and withheld until tax issues are settled (depending on where you ship to and/or how corrupt/careless customs control is)

  22. Re:He doesn't like being a celebrity? on Vint Cerf: Media Tagging Can Be Disconcerting · · Score: 1

    [..] about being 'tagged' in online photos from social networking sites such as Facebook [..]

    If you have a Facebook account, you can remove the tags of you from pictures. If you have no account, there will be no tags.

    Since this guy is apparently some kind of celebrity that enjoys "stepping out of helicopters in front of cameras", what's his problem?

    I 'll tell you what his problem is: the mainstream media, he can handle. Mainstream media has been a close minded self-centered social club with total control as to who gets publicity- few groups, a few cameras, ONE transmission antenna, millions of passive receivers. But now facebook-like and youtube-like entities take that well-established control away. So when you are "setting up" to address the public, things are not so much under your control any more, and there is no absolute control over capturing and editing, so the "illusion" you are trying to sell to the public may be flawed.
