    Congrats first time accepted submitter Pseudonym Authority, your presence has made Slashdot even worse. Seriously though, who thought it would be a good idea to accept a submitter for the first time for posting an article FROM FUCKING APR 13, 2009!!!!!!!

    Are we trying to set the bar so stupidly low that a cat on a keyboard can become a Slashdot submitter, and then not only accept the submission but announce it in glory and praise?

    Remember when they rolled out the Idle tag, at least we could block that! Maybe Slashdot needs a feature to block first time submitters. ... Though then there'd be nothing left to read right?

    This.

  3. Re:How do they cool them that much? on Tanks Test Infrared Camouflage Cloak · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they take on the shape of a car, and under infrared very hot and hot may look similar.

    It's because we speak English? More Chinese *LEARN* English in any given year than there are Australian residents in total.

    Australia is about half the size of California. Nothing that happens here is newsworthy. Move along and get on with your lives.

    If there was EVER a reason to favour posting as an anonymous coward, it was this :)

  8. Re:That's how you sell an autobiography on Paul Allen Rips Bill Gates In Autobiography · · Score: 1

    I don't see his shift to have anything to do with guilt. His frame of reference changed when he took on a partner in his life. Many men are immature ego-maniacal jerks into their middle years and then reform for a variety of reasons. It's a standard phase of maturation that men go through.

  9. Re:Does anyone make a reliable drive now? on 3TB Hard Drives Square Off Against Everything Else · · Score: 1

    How does 1 bad drive equate to a drop of overall quantity in a universe of sane people without severe mental malfunction aka excluding you and those like you?

    You obviously know nothing about variability. Don't write a random() function for any rtl for nasa kthxbai.

    Sweet. I've been looking for a better way to time bathroom breaks (monitoring cam footage is tedious).

    What's this 'we'? You obviously haven't been around long enough to be in 'we'.

    I can't wait until Watson takes on Sean Connery, Burt Reynolds and Marilu Henner.

    Use foo and bar. Everyone understands that.

  16. Costs, Risk Mitigation on How Do You Protect Servers From a Rogue Admin? · · Score: 2

    To be serious about security, you have to eliminate every last single point of failure. Although I seriously doubt a non-profit would have the cash to justify paying rather than simply trusting, if they were serious about limiting the damage an admin could do, they would outsource the backup, requiring that the backup be regularly monitored for suspicious changes and tested both by the outsource and by someone within the company.

  17. Re:Stupid article on Genghis Khan, History's Greenest Conqueror · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sorry that's a terribly unsubstantiated conclusion. The birth rate is tied directly to population density, economic and biological factors. Unkill those millions and you simply trigger an earlier birth rate decrease. The actual population would be somewhere between now and 10% more than now, closer to now than 10%.

    Again, we're roughly half the size of California. Stop comparing us to the US, and start comparing us to other relatively small countries.

  23. My take on How Facebook Ships Code · · Score: 1

    It sounds to me like FB is rolling in so much money, that they may be throwing 150% more development staff at the project than they really need. If money were object, my bet is that they would find that their process model is wildly skewed from optimal for their business.

  24. Re:Just stop it on How Europe Will Lower Emissions — Self Driving Cars · · Score: 0

    Excuse me for being blunt, but you're equally an idiot. As in, my experience varies from you, so ipso facto must be bad genes you inherited from your mother and your father.

    I live a 30 minute drive from the city, but instead choose to take a 45 minute train ride in exchange for about $6,000 cash saved each and every year (parking and fuel). On that train ride, seats fill up to about 70% on a typical day, and I get to read classics by Hugo, Schopenhauer and Hardy. I regret your top quality commute sucks in comparison, but you couldn't pay me to jump onto the expressway, even if there were an option to log into the grid and cruise the express lane. Frankly I'd rather have the $6,000 cash to use on holidays.

    And to continue the sentiment, I also ask you to shut up. It only seems fair.
