  1. Re:It's a common problem with 'big space'. on Ariane 5 Has No Chance, Says Elon Musk · · Score: 1

    The Ariane is not really a two stage rocket, more a two and a halve. Boosters, Core-stage, and an upper stage.
    Its concept is not unlike what NASA is building right now.

    As for man-rating, it was originally intended to launch the Hermes shuttle. While not fully man-rated at the moment it isn't far off either.
    (Besides the definition of man-rated is a pretty gray area).

  2. Wrong scare on The Panic Over Fukushima · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Fukushima wasn't scary because of what happened. It was scary because one of the most developped countries in the world had absolutly no control over what happened.
    Untill now everybody was reassured that these things only happened to old sovjet reactors.
    Fukushima learnt the ignorant masses that when nuclear shit hits the fan it doesn't matter much which country the fan is located in.

  3. Re:Marriage =/= legal union. on Google Launches International Campaign For Recognition of Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No problem with that.. but only if would stop recognizing marriage at all.
    Scrap it from law all together. That way we would still end up with equallity for all.

  4. Re:Not too bad? on Sea Level Rise Can't Be Stopped · · Score: 1

    Since this is slashdot I don't expect you to read the article, but even a goldfish would have the attention span required to read the last sentence of the summary.

    Wait.... you are running a 'large scale network' and looking at packet captures... yet are unable have your tooling do the reverse lookup automaticly?

    Peer to peer (the way connections were intended) actually works without strange workarounds.

    So when is slashdot going to leave the dark ages?

  10. Scary???? on Raspberry Pi Passes EU Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Am I the only one scared by these guys?????
    They think they can design a PCB yet are scared of some simple measuring equipment. (I have been involved with and designed several products which had to go through CE testing and that stuff is NOT scary if you known what they are doing).
    I really hope the summary is just joking about the antennna.... if not: stay away from Raspberry Pi: it is designed by clueless idiots.

  12. Re:Fundamentalists on Growth of Pseudoscience Harming Australian Universities · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Human perception has proven itself to be pretty much useless many times..... But I guess you missed that lesson as you seem to have a pretty screwed up notion off science.

    If it works it will be measureable and you can call it 'medicine', if you can't measure even a single thing different when using the stuff it is not medicine.
    You can try and label it 'alternative' but it won't change the facts: its junk.

  16. Re:It would be good to have optional GUI on Windows Admins Need To Prepare For GUI-Less Server · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm just waiting to see the reactions from guys who are always saying how Windows is better than Linux because everything is GUI based. This is pretty hilarious..

    Soon the pigs will write 'Gui good, no gui better' on the wall....

    So according to you google shouldn't make an 'evil' department, but instead they should start an 'evil' branch and all is well?

    Some of the ip addresses they use are registered to google....
    At the very least it is a very good impersonator.

  19. Re:Which illustrates what we already knew on Linux 3D Games Run Faster On PC-BSD · · Score: 2

    I am wondering why the author of the article couldn't be bothered to compare BSD and Linux on the same hardware.

    Looking at that list I get the impression that he spent a lot of time making sure he compared apples and oranges.
    This benchmark is pretty much worthless

  20. Re:First in a long line I hope! on Germany To End Nuclear Power By 2022 · · Score: 1

    Statisticly they are indeed relatively safe, however if something happens it happens on a big scale.
    That is just one part....
    (albeit not an un-important one)

    I have some wories about peak-uranium for one thing. Not all studies give the same answer (basicly anything from 1980 to never) but it is something to take into account.

    I don't like nuclear power either.... but I base my opinion on some real science instead of your chiropractic quackery.

  22. Re:Skeptical without any numbers on Skylon Spaceplane Design Passes Key Review · · Score: 1

    They don't need escape velocity... they are aiming for low earth orbit.
    Besides using the O2 as oxidizer they also have another benefit: the angular velocity you gain at low altitudes is cheaper (in terms of energy) than getting it at high altitude. Even for rockets they have to make a tradeoff between going up to avoid air and going sideways early on to actually reach orbit.
