  1. Thank You All.

  2. I got a Gmail address ver early on. I was able to get one that was essentially my full name@gmail.com. I must have something like 50,000 emails in that account.

    I want out.

    Questions are:

    Which service is relatively new and might have more open addresses.
    How do I get my 50k emails OUT of gmail and the IN to the new service.

    I'd be willing to pay.

    Ya have to wonder what they would do with another situation like of videos of Harry Reid claiming on the Senate floor that Romney didn't pay taxes.

    Harry kept it up all during the campaign and then admitted he was lying, then just said, "meh, it worked".

    Sorry if that seems like an, "extremest" view to you.

  5. Meat Made US What We Are on Huge Reduction in Meat-Eating 'Essential' To Avoid Climate Breakdown (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    As a new study in Nature makes clear, not only did processing and eating meat come naturally to humans, it’s entirely possible that without an early diet that included generous amounts of animal protein, we wouldn’t even have become human—at least not the modern, verbal, intelligent humans we are.

  7. A United Nations special climate report suggests a tax on carbon dioxide emissions would need to be as high as $27,000 per ton at the end of the century to effectively limit global warming.

    For Americans, that’s the same as a $240 per gallon tax on gasoline in the year 2100

    ...is the a bedrock principle of Western Civilization.

    It''s why people aren't burned to death by a mob when an accusation is made.

    It's why someone doesn't beat your ass when their wife says you touched her.

    This principle applies in ALL situations and all venues.

    That you so readily abandon it when it is politically advantageous, tells us a lot about your suitability for living in an enlightened society. Perhaps you'd be more comfortable in Afghanistan.

  11. No Job is Static on The Coders Programming Themselves Out of a Job (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm having a hard time with this, "automated my job" assertion, especially in QA.

    If a product is being updated and improved, then the automation of the previous version is useless. A QA professional is needed to update the test suite and then do detailed manual tests and do some digging to identify a root causes for new issues..

    If a product is NOT being updated and improved, then why have an automated QA process for it?

     

  12. Ya...that's what I call Obsessive/Compulsive behavior.

    Ohh...I capitalized those words. Now you'll be out the rest of the afternoon trying to replicate it.

  14. Next will be a Bill banning people from being mean on line.

    I expect it will be just as easily enforced as this Bill.

    No matter how you calculate it, if you are in the middle class in America, or most other Western countries, you are in the top 1% of the world.

    That the top 1% earn at least 300x times compared to the next tier down is completely and utter irrelevant, unless you are living where those people live. Then they price you out of a home.

    $57k is a pretty fucking decent income in 80% of America. You can get a home, a couple of cars and most other trappings of the Middle Class lifestyle.

    Slashdot has become a place where logic and reason are down modded and people hide in fear of negative Karma.

  21. Yep.

    Maybe the folks at CERN should have done the Scientific thing and refuted his paper using facts.
    The statement, "physics is not sexist against women[...], however the truth does not matter, because it is part of a political battle coming from outside" shouldn't be that hard to refute, no? Then they make a presentation the next time and shame that guy into a career at Starbucks.

    But they didn't that, did they. All they did was spout platitudes designed to placate the SJW crowd.

    Looking at a nice Touring car now. Flying is over rated especially shorter distances.
