  1. Yes but on Ask Slashdot: Are Progressive Glasses a Mistake For Computer Users? · · Score: 1

    I have progressive lenses made in Australia that work great with a wide field of view . But i cant get them made in the UK, Lost art ???

  2. It was the local chemical company—Monsanto.. on Infants Ingest 77 Times the Safe Level of Dioxin · · Score: 1

    It was the local chemical company—Monsanto—that first began the manufacture of polychlorbiphenyl in Anniston, Alabama—a type of process, we now know, that inevitably produces dioxin-like substances as well. And the first unwitting discovery that such materials create dangerous industrial hazards to chemical workers was made in the early 1930s when most of the workers in the Monsanto plant became sick.

  3. Re:Strength is weakness on The Status of Routing Reform — How Fragile is the Internet? · · Score: 1

    This article is total rubbish. Who is this "General Manager". can I have his job cause he is an idiot. DNS is reasonably secure for a dynamic system we can certainly detect poisoning fairly quickly and we have firewalls. If a routing table gets weird it is not such a big end of the world thing... it talks to the next router and things straiten out.

  4. Jusy like supply and demand on House Calls For Hearing On Stock Market "Glitch" · · Score: 1

    Seriously, I bet nothing went wrong. If there are more sellers in the market than buyers the price drops. Automated trading will dump stock into a falling market in a stop loss situation which is what is designed to do. Perhaps they want to go back to a paper based system where people have to place orders in person? Will this affect supply and demand?

  5. Re:I am surprised on Keeping Up With DoD Security Requirements In Linux? · · Score: 1

    I am really suprised ... I am amazed you can get anything to work .. you best security is the firewall not patching the os, not that the os should be left to get out of date. anyway sounds like great fun F:)
