  1. Re:Do they realise... on 'Eco-Anarchists' Targeting Nuclear and Nanotech Workers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I guess since they are anarchists, when they are caught we can just forget all the usual mumbo jumbo about rights and privileges shoot them on the spot?

  4. Re:Obfuscation on Obama To Agencies: Optimize Web Content For Mobile · · Score: 1

    To start with, creating a government website is like trying to index the contents of a land fill. So much trash in so many places.

    Now, take the task that's virtually impossible with a full blown browser and make it work on a 3"x2" screen with a touch pad interface.

    Yeah. All the tech people in the government have a complete WTF? look on their faces.

    People like you have been bitching about knee-jerk anti-government responses for decades.

    Now look what we have...an annual budget of over three trillion dollars (thanks to baseline budgeting, it's here to stay).

    I have a better idea. How about YOU make a case for the programs you want to keep. All of them.

    See ya next decade, 'cause it will take you that long.

    $30k is chump change compared to what he presumably makes, especially considering the great amount of time and trouble he went to.

    If windows ever asks if you want it to check out the disk, just say no or be prepared to walk away for a week.

  9. Small NUkes on UK Draft Energy Bill Avoids Banning Coal Or Gas Power · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The nuclear industry needs to give up on the large, one off plants and come up with smaller, factory built nukes that can be installed in series, much like batteries.

    These are being worked on and some already designed and in prototype stage, but taking them commercial is a regulatory hell.

    People are always trying to get the federal government to "do something" that they are better off doing themselves or being done by local governments. But clearing the regulatory hurdles and standardizing these products is a perfect example of what the federal government should be doing.

  10. Re:WTF on From MIT Inventor To Tea Party Leader · · Score: 1

    Don't confuse Tea Party with anarchists.

    People who think that small, focused and limited government is the same as no government have been drinking heavily from the Stupid Fountain.

    You would be better off address your comments to one of those significant portions of the OWS crowd.

    Sorry Wiseguy, but my state (Texas) is a net exporter of taxes.

    And don't look too close, but you have a lot of folks aligned wit the Tea Party in New Jersey.

    As I said, legitimate use of Tax dollars is ok. Taking care of those who cannot take care of themselves is a legitimate use.

    Taking care of lazy mother fuckers is not.

  14. Re:WTF on From MIT Inventor To Tea Party Leader · · Score: 2

    Just to reiterate my reply to your previous post. You have no clue what the Tea Party is about.

    Taxes to support your community...Police, Fire and other essential services are not theft.
    Taxes to pay off crooked bankers, cronies of local politicians, corrupt unions, etc. are theft.

    You should actually learn about that which you so casually disparage.

  16. Re:WTF on From MIT Inventor To Tea Party Leader · · Score: 0

    Right there, you show you don't know shit about what the Tea Party represents.

    1. The government takes too much of OUR money.
    2. It spends it on stupid stuff and stupid people.

    Now, you will probably be a moron and start talking about Fire and Police services etc. But you have to really turn up the stupid dial if you think that is what the protests were about.

    RDBMS systems can be flexible also. It just takes a bit of planning, a good understanding of your data and a well designed application...which you should do/have regardless of your storage solution.

    Call me set in my old RDBMS ways, but if I'm supporting it then I want to know what the hell is gong on with the data.

    I'm staring at your response, "Sources?", and thinking this has got to be either the greatest dig ever at legions of Slashdot users who respond to every point by insisting on a citation, or it has to be the greatest fail I've ever seen.

    Honestly, I'm not sure which it is.
