  1. Re:Seriously? on Ask Slashdot: What Tech For a Sailing Ship? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Spot on! Dump a couple of million into a boat and you don't know what kind of gear to buy? Worse, you come to Slashdot to find out? Head over to Sailing Anarchy. They'll tell you what to buy (and provide an earful to boot).

  2. Re:More importantly on Torvalds Becomes an American Citizen · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The fact that the likes of Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin are admired by the right wing is just about all you need to say about the right wing. - kg

    Its a reference to that other nut job Newt Gingrich. But admittedly its hard to keep track, there are so many to choose from. - kg

  4. Re:and? on Armstrong, Cernan Testify Against Obama Space Plan · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Critical thinking, its something you ought to learn ... I suppose you never thought of the possibility of developing the tech here, apply here, and skip the trip?

    I'm for manned space flight, a romantic I suppose, but talk about a weak argument.

  5. Re:Why does everything need 250+ pages? on Matplotlib For Python Developers · · Score: 1

    Have you actually used matplotlib? Like with any plotting package (or at least all the ones I've ever used) there are some subtle but important details where a 20 page handout just wouldn't do. You don't like the book, don't buy the f'ing thing.

  6. You mean the one that thought slavery was okay? on Open Gov Tracker Reveals Best US Open Government Ideas · · Score: 0, Troll

    How about we follow the constitution?

    The whole strict "constructionism" p.o.v. might apply if we all went back to the days of the horse and buggy, oil lamps, whole groups relegated to second class citizenship, etc..

  7. Re:History revisited [sic] on Look What's Cooking At Microsoft Labs · · Score: 1

    Bingo!! If this is all they've got then they are up the creek. Even the Eagle thing is a big yawn as I am sure I've seen something somewhat similar in a GIS or remote-sensing magazine. (Ooh, ooh, but they merge data! Big wow!!)
