  1. Re:lawsuit incoming... on American Express Will Give All Parents 20 Weeks Of Paid Leave (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    In civilized countries payed leave is a parental right by law and not dependent from goodwill of employer.

  2. detailed analysis on Deutsche Telekom Says 900,000 Fixed-Line Customers Suffer Outages (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    by Ralf-Philipp Weinmann: https://comsecuris.com/blog/po... just so you know ;)

  3. different schemes on Server Names For a New Generation · · Score: 1

    Devices at home get named after SC-BW buildings. Like Nexus for the server, Forge is the development machine, Pylon the Windows box and so on. At my current workplace the servers are named pretty bad. They are named with Manufacturer_Model_Number. I'd try to avoid that if I'd be in charge. In a company I worked for long ago, every maschine had to have the name of an alcoholic drink. Beer was a DB-Server there, Port did the firewalling. Employees workstations must have names from drinks which were typical for the country/region the employee originated from. Like the Russian dude's workstation was Vodka, the German guy's Korn. I think that was a good directive.

  4. Re:Doctors presciptions my ass: Agriculture on Drug-Resistant Superbugs Sweeping Across Europe · · Score: 2

    Recent inspections in Germany showed that over 90% of all chicken produced for consumption contain remains of antibiotics. So I guess you are right.

  5. Nuclear emergency declared on 8.8 Earthquake Near Japanese Coast · · Score: 1

    News says, there is at least one nuclear power plant burning: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/11/japan-declares-nuclear-emergency-quake I am scared now.

  6. Kidding? on Duke Nukem Forever Not Edited For Australia · · Score: 2

    I don't get it. Duke Nukem Foerever? Rating? You kidding me?

  7. Click Thingies on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Where did the click thingies go where one could select the fresh/funny/interesting and +/- stuff?

  8. Very sad. on Aussie Gamer Loses PS3 Court Case Over 'Other OS' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yet another case where money > consumer protection/right.

  9. efficiency factor on Solar Cell Inventor Wins Millennium Prize · · Score: 1

    Sadly the Grätzel cells failed to achieve a proper efficiency factor yet. 11% is far behind the factor it's silicon based or semiconductor siblings achieve. But I do not want do devalue the achievement of Michael Grätzel and his team(s). He deserved that prize.

  10. Re:Two Words: on Why Are Video Game Movies So Awful? · · Score: 1

    I actually did like "Postal". And most of Bolls other production are not worse than - just to have an example - Narnia.

  11. Re:CSM elected by less than 6% of the players on What Game Devs Should Learn From EVE · · Score: 1

    I do not know which player base you are talking about. The players I know do encourage each other to take part in the votings and do not label the CSM members as fanboys. Quite the contrary is what I see. Players do think that their CSM representatives are working really hard to make EvE a "better place". But maybe I am just blinded by the awesomeness of Vuk Lau and Elvenlord ;)

  12. Further Information on StarCraft Cheating Scandal Rocks Korea · · Score: 2, Informative
  13. Re:Absolutely on Math Skills For Programmers — Necessary Or Not? · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. Especially when it comes to implementation of complex problems. Another part is graphical development. If you have do render or mess around with voxels, shaders and textures you truly need a solid basis of math.

  14. Re:Rights? on Scientology Tries To Block German Documentary · · Score: 5, Insightful

    An organization as dangerous as Scientology must not be given a chance to prevent education. The are banned for a reason. I hope the courts will just laugh at them and send their lawyers home. And now i'd really like to see that movie.

  15. Re:Guns don't kill people on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    Especially if you let a 3 year old play shooting games.

  16. Re:Great Precedent on German Data Retention Law Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 3, Informative

    At least the new EU commisioner for justice Viviane Reding announced an enquiry of the EU Directive which was one of the main reasons for making that law in the first place.

  17. Re:EVE: Online on Why Are There No Popular Ultima Online-Like MMOs? · · Score: 1

    I also had some doubts towards EvE-Online because it is MMO in space nad not fantasy, but you get used to it really quick.
