  1. Re:Net censorship, another U.S. job going to China on China Using Net Censorship As a Trade Weapon? · · Score: 1

    "China has a culture that has been ongoing for more than 5000 years. Not GOVERNMENT"

    By that definition Europe has a 5000 years of culture as well. Although at that time some of them were still in Asia.

    Also, for a 5000 years they have a pretty shitty standard of living and literacy rates.

  2. Re:Germany must be pissed on All French Nuclear Reactors Deemed Unsafe · · Score: 1

    What can be more renewable than biomass? Also black locust grows really fast and can be grown in places unsuitable for agriculture.

  3. Re:choices are good on OpenSUSE 12.1 Released · · Score: 1

    B-b-but but but Google is good, and Oracle sued them, so Oracle is bad. (I agree on that software patents are really bad.)

  4. Re:some proteins are better than others on In-Vitro Muscle Cells, It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 1

    "I've personally known vegan powerlifters that showed absolutely no signs of protein deficiency."

    Let me guess. Did they drink protein turmixes? (quite a few vegans eat dairy products)

    There's a reason Werner von Braun referred to his group as "prisoners of peace".

    On the other hand atom reactors benefit all humanity. And Fermi and Szilard did work on both.
    Atomic bombs benefitted mostly Western Europe, as in the fifties the Soviets had much more ground troops than Western Europe.

  8. Re:How about Fedora? on Linux Mint: the New Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    The reason I keep Ubuntu on my machine is because it boots really fast compared to an XP (I have quite a few programs installed on XP and it got rather slow).

  9. Re:Ubuntu hatred on Linux Mint: the New Ubuntu? · · Score: 2

    What's the difference between Kubuntu and installing KDE from the the software center on a vanilla Ubuntu?

  10. Re:How about Fedora? on Linux Mint: the New Ubuntu? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Fedore isn't very stable according to my own (very limited) experience.* Also, Ubuntu sports a mediaplayer by default and downloads the required codecs without hassle (doesn't bend over for patents, it just shows a warning screen once that what you do might not legal in all countries, and you might have to get a license for the relevant patents).

    Also, dpkg/deb repositories are richer than rpm repositories.

    * even non LTS Ubuntu releases

    I don't know where you live but in my country HR won't even call you back if you don't have a degree. And call center work around here is dead end, no chanche to move to sysadmin position, as you need a degree for that as well.

  12. Re:It's change for the sake of change on Ask Slashdot: Unity/Gnome 3/Win8/iOS — Do We Really Hate All New GUIs? · · Score: 1

    Maybe Gnome3 and Unity just wants to keep up with the Joneses.

  13. Re:Scott Adams proposes 'Ministry of Truth' on Scott Adams Proposes a Fourth Branch of Government · · Score: 1

    "Scientific method should also be put under government control. We can have a ministry of peer review."

    I hate to break the news for you, but most universities are goverment funded.

  14. Re:Only "troubled" if you're not Lockheed Martin on The F-35 Story · · Score: 1

    The Strike raptor is just a design proposal so far, so I don't see how it's an alternative. OTOH the F-35 has 13 prototype crafts. (Silent Eagle has only 1.)

    So you started before the crisis. That's a pretty huge difference.

  16. Re:Dropping out saved me tens of thousands of doll on Why Do So Many College Science Majors Drop Out? · · Score: 1

    Except that route doesn't exist anymore since there's a glut of people knowing PHP/Java/Javascript, and also most worthy candidates already have a degree, or substantial experience.

  17. Re:Because so many more enter college these days? on Why Do So Many College Science Majors Drop Out? · · Score: 1

    Yet, it's totally normal for busniness school majors to go in it for the money.

    I would welcome however to have a built in clone() method, if it pretends to be object oriented.

  19. Re:Child? on No Charges For Child-Whipping Judge Caught On YouTube · · Score: 1

    " at least, not without consent of their parents/guardian. That spells "child" to me."

    If they were child, they weren't allowed to marry even with parental support. So it's obviously somewhere inbetween.

  20. Re:Welcome Programm Language #2.342E13248213432371 on Eclipse Launches New Programming Language · · Score: 1

    The thing is, C# has already macroing capability (and other lispy features) and Java is often dissed for the lack of it. This language seems to address that.

    I guess you're choosing your programming languages to brag about how 'tuff' you're.

  22. Re:Harmony what now? on Apache Harmony Moves To Apache Attic · · Score: 1

    In my university we studied Prolog and SML. Now they're changing SML to Erlang. You can also take up Constraint logic programming for 3 credit. (Europe)

  23. Re:Harmony what now? on Apache Harmony Moves To Apache Attic · · Score: 2

    Universities wouldn't switch for a non-typed language as a main platform. C++/Java will continue to be entreched, with a little C# sprinkled on. Also they don't follow flavor of the month.

    By the way they embraced Java before it was opensourced, so I don't think they'll make a boycott about Oracle dicking around with its software patents.
