15 to 30 minutes to boot up their computers and log off at the end? What computer takes a bleeding quarter hour to boot? I mean damn. I'm all for being paid and all, but 30 MINUTES a day? Really? I can boot my Gentoo laptop and be logged in in under a minute. What fucking slacker takes a damn half hour to do that?
I can't wait for the 'change' he so consisently promises to be nothing more of the same of shit just with a slightly darker skin tone. He's a complete moron who BARELY ever registered a vote in the Senate that was something other than 'PRESENT' and his VP is a bootlicking scumbag. Well done, USA! We've managed to pick the biggest fucking loser of all time to run this country at a time when we need a JFK, or a Lincoln to run, what do we get? Herbert bloody Hoover or Chester Arthur.
I cannot understand how, with the Dems having a majority of the last 2 years AND HAD A LOWER APPROVAL RATING THAN BUSH can get an even clearer majority. Obviously the majority of American people are STUPID and FUCKING LAZY and refuse to be anything other than the damn victim.
All who voted for this dipshit are a disgrace to the country and the flag.
WTF? Do we need to put an E (or I) in front of every-bloody-thing that might occur online? I mean really? There is no difference between 'aggression' and 'e-aggression' except for where it happens. I mean, if I get pissed off about something in the loo, is that 'P-aggression'? Or if I'm pissed at a strip club is that 'DD-aggression'?
Both candidates have said they will continue with NCLB and I have to say it's the WORST possible way to get everyone an education. With NCLB there is no way to separate out the 'above averages' from the 'averages' from the 'stupids'. EVeryone is in a single class regardless of ability. In short, everyone gets taught to be mediocre. There is no rewarding someone for ability because that 'hurts the feelings of others'.
It's a complete sham and a joke. My wife is a teacher and I am telling you truthfully, she spends maybe 3.5 hours a day (out of 6) actually teaching) the rest of the time is done in 'assessments' and paperwork for NCLB.
The 'Internet' was built in the 1960s with costly materials and for RESEARCH only. It wasn't built WRONG, it was built with no concept of what the future of computing and networking would really look like. I mean any dipshit can look back and say 'DAMN, why'd we build it like that?'. I mean, obviously TWITTER is a PERFECT piece of software and has been from the very first line of code. There has never been a need to rewrite any of it
Okay, let's do the math here, if space is ~3K, then that puts this 'new transistor' material at about.03K or 3 HUNDREDTHS of a degree above absolute zero.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm willing to be the properties of this will not be the same at room temp, or even close to room temperature. And I rather doubt the performance of the transistors will outweigh the eneergy requirements needed to keep it at that cold a temp.
You know, I've really been underwhelmed to see this movie. I've been a Trekkie my whole life, and I love the series (TOS and TNG) and the movies. But this one, meh.
I just wasn't into it. Until I saw these pics. Holy Crap! Just based on the pics, I'm almost tempted to see it in the theater. Almost. I guess I"ll look at the trailers before I make up my mind.
Vint Cerf hasn't read Obama's technology page. Or slashdot for that matter. There was a posting here a couple weeks ago displaying the MASSIVE changes in Obama's page before and AFTER picking Joe Biden. Biden is an even bigger opponent of Net Neutrality than McCain might be.
God dammit, doesn't anyone pay attention to this shit? I mean, NO politician is going to back Net Neutrality with the money the Telcos willpump into their campaigns. We're screwed her in America, we're losing (if not lost) our Superpower status because these fuckers in Washington AND the big Telecoms are holding us back in the digital dark ages all for the sake of squeezing every last bloody dime from our pockets.
This country is no longer about innovation, it's about strangulation.
There was a slashdot article on the changes made to Obama's IT page after he joined up with Biden, who's a bigger opponent of Net Neutrality than anyone.
Damn, man get your facts straight before you post this crap.
SUN MICROSYSTEMS! Wow, wasn't that easy? Those idiots at Sun can't do the smallest things right. They should never have been able to purchase MySQL except for the overwhelming GREED of the idiots who controlled it.
Have you noticed that that level of greed is all over the place now.
I was WAITING for government approval to keep my kids from seeing things they shouldn't. I mean we should NEVER take personal responsibility for protecting our children now should we?
Fucking idiots. Someone PLEASE drop a nuke on Washington.
What the hell does free market have to do with anything? Dumbass. If they don't pay you overtime (as an hourly employee) then don't work it. They cannot fire you over it. At least not in my part of the US they can't.
Are you out of your bloody mind? I'm all for letting them 'sink or swim' but that kind of bullshit mentality is beyond insane. I hope your stupid ass never has children. Do you think I want my 9 year old daughter to sift through PORN to read emails from her friends? Hell no. There is a time and place for letting them grow up, but that ain't it.
I have 3 girls, one who's 18 now, so she's old enough to handle herself as she's going into IT anyway. But my 2 youngest (12 and 9) aren't. My 9yo doesn't have an email account yet, mainly because anything she needs me or my wife will handle. My 12yo however, is another matter. In this case, setup Gmail (or hotmail or whatever, I do prefer Gmail's filters, though) to ONLY allow email from people listed in contacts.
that everyone in America realizes that JERRY SEINFELD ISN'T FUNNY? He's never been funny, he'll never BE funny. I've seen funnier bars of soap. Maybe there's hope for America after all.
COMMUNIST country? Damn, what kind of silly question is that? Seriously, where have you been hiding the last 60 years or so? It's not like Telecoms are overlooking China as much as China is banning them from doing any business there.
Granted, the reins are loosening and pretty soon, China will be about as communist as my cat, but do we really need dipshit questions like this on/.?
The best way to handle this is don't. There's a lawsuit a mile wide with your name on it if you do. If you want to have a LAN party (I have them quite often) have one with people you can trust. You are just BEGGING for trouble if you go through with this.
Slashdot Mirror
their drivers still suck so bad that NONE of the functions on their chip work.
They are all in the woods around UNC-Asheville and all over my back yard. No lack of Acorns here.
Are you SURE you know what an acorn is?

It's a joke and needs to go away. Period.
Those dumbasses in Redmond can't get it to run on ONE core. I mean can you imagine a 256-Core BSOD?

It's my understanding that all current planes (the last 10 years or so) are built with shielded wiring to prevent that very thing.
This was also discussed on Mythbusters and the same answer was given by the engineer they brought on the show.
SAVAGE/HYNEMAN '08!!!!

Cloudy Windows!!!! Well, I'm glad I have my Windex handy.
Does this mean the BSOD will instead be the 'partly cloudy' screen of death? Or will it just rain on me?

That way anything else gets dropped.
you mean 'removes any stance he made and posts complete bullshit'?
Doesn't everyone realize Joe Biden is a COMPLETE BOOTLICKING MORON?
Mod me down if you want, the bloody Democrats are what's killing this country. Well, them and the Republicans too.
So, I'm voting SAVAGE/HYNEMAN '08!

Amen, brother. Only I would amend what you say to '...to see that the parties ONLY WORKS FOR THEMSELVES AND SCREW EVERYONE ELSE....'
But either one works.
The best way to handle this is don't. There's a lawsuit a mile wide with your name on it if you do. If you want to have a LAN party (I have them quite often) have one with people you can trust. You are just BEGGING for trouble if you go through with this.
