    On the other hand, hunting rifles take much more time to reload and you can kill with .22 too.

  6. Re:SWEET!!! on Steam For Linux Is Now an Open Beta · · Score: 1

    I'm sure a lot of older games will be packaged with Wine and sold through Steam Linux.

  7. Re:And yet... on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    You can also own a pistol for shooting in competition but you have to be a registered sportsman - you have to join a gun club and actually compete.

    Well, it varies country by country. E.g. in Slovakia or in the Czech republic anyone can own a weapon above 21 and 18 years respectively as long as they don't have a criminal record. In Hungary you have to take an exam in gun safety and demonstrate it in practice and have to be in good health condition.

  11. e^x on Over 1000 Volunteers For 'Suicide' Mission To Mars · · Score: 1

    Playing the the devils advocate here: the idea is that we should have a good survey before start changing things on Mars. With physical/chemical contamination you do little contamination, you expect little effect. With biological contamination you have to worry about the exponential growth factor.

  12. Re:Of course, on As Fish Stocks Collapse, Overpopulated Lobsters Resort to Cannibalism · · Score: 1

    I only eat truffle fed pork.

  13. Re:Don't talk crap on Over 1000 Volunteers For 'Suicide' Mission To Mars · · Score: 1

    It means it wouldn't kill life already present on Mars. Nobody cares about small scale physical contamination. Biological contamination is a more serious issue.

  19. Re:I'm surprised at some of the responses on Ask Slashdot: How To Avoid Working With Awful Legacy Code? · · Score: 1

    Would upvote if I had modpoints.

    The problem is, if the management would be semi-competent OP wouldn't have asked this question. The most probable thing to happen is management gets scared of the cost of the rewrite but keeps demanding new features.

  22. Inventor of the atomic bomb on Reiser4 File System Still In Development · · Score: 1

    Einstein didn't even get security clearance to work on the Manhattan project because he was a pacifist.
    There were about 10 000 scientists working on the Manhattan project, but if I had to name the inventor of the atomic bomb, I would say it was Leo Szilard.

  25. Re:Food? on Richard Branson 'Determined To Start a Population On Mars' · · Score: 1

    There's a reason human feces isn't directly used as fertilizer: risk of infection (mostly E. Coli). It must be composted for a while before it can be used. Making proper soil takes time.
