  1. . . . the in-process Maunder-type Solar Minimum gets ignored.

    Wow, you should write your local scientist and reveal this important information to them.

  2. Re:Assange must have something good on Hillary... on WikiLeaks Published Rape Victims' Names, Credit Cards, Medical Data (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    ...considering the way the establishment is suddenly working overtime to discredit them.

    He should have released it before he blew his reputation by resorting to publishing crap.

    Yeah, I know... the damning evidence will be in the *next* dump. And always will be.

    Hillary Clinton's PR firm must be in overdrive trying to discredit Wikileaks

    Looks to me like Wikileaks is doing a fine job of discrediting itself without any help.

  4. Re:Apples to Oranges on New Mexico Nuclear Accident Ranks Among the Costliest In US History (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    It should be noted that the waste was from nuclear weapons production not nuclear power.

    That makes it hard to spot the News for Nerds angle. If it was power generation we could assume that someone used the electricity to charge a Tesla or run a computer mining bitcoin.

  5. I keep a Windows system around for minor software that needs it

    AKA "games".

  6. Re:Is there something to understand on 'SingularDTV' Will Use Ethereum For DRM On A Sci-Fi TV Show (rocknerd.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    My first language is not english but

    I would have thought that would be an advantage.

  7. Re: "Ghandi" quote updated on Every Month This Year Has Been the Hottest In Recorded History (vice.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Does it matter? It's not reverseable anyway. Just live further north and away from the shoreline, problem solved.

    Hey, in a few thousand years the current interglacial will probably come to an end, and our descendants will be glad we heated the place up in advance.

    Not going to be much fun until then, though.

  8. Re:not in my state on Every Month This Year Has Been the Hottest In Recorded History (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We have been experiencing well below average temperatures. Hog wash.

    That's why they call it "global" warming, instead of, say, "found a place where it isn't" warming.

  9. Re:Every Month This Year Has Been the Hottest on Every Month This Year Has Been the Hottest In Recorded History (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Hotter than last year, colder than next year...

    That means we can call it cooling, right?

  10. Re:It's not what I call a scripting language. on Microsoft PowerShell Goes Open Source and Lands On Linux and Mac (pcworld.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    agreed. Coming from Solaris to Windows, I find it horrid, just horrid. Some days, I would give my server for a workable "grep".

    pipe to: where {$_.property -match "regex"}

    Powershell has had a workable grep for a long time, but it's usually learning how objects work that typically obstruct new users.

    Wow, that's elegant.

    Hard to see, the dark side is. but Once you start down the dark research path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

    Yes, but it will also make you powerfull!

    Don't you know that all the great discoveries were make by monomanical megalomanical maniacs in search of greater power?

  12. Re:Ugh on There May Be A Fifth Force of Nature, Study Suggests (space.com) · · Score: 2

    Sounds like the fifth and strongest force of nature is willfull ignorance.

    I wonder how your kind would have reacted when all the previous discoveries were first announced.

  13. When times are good the executives buy new yachts. When times are bad the executives whine about needing a new yacht.

    Investing in your business is for losers.

  14. Re:If it isn't broke... on More Airline Outages Seen As Carriers Grapple With Aging Technology (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere that one of the airlines' problem was simple lack of redundancy of a power transmission switch. Not an IT problem at all, unless IT was responsible for the power.

  15. Re:A wild Investigative Journalist appeared! on Cracking The Code On Trump Tweets (time.com) · · Score: 2

    This isn't the Age of Obama. It's the Age of Trolls, Shills, and Kool-Aid drinkers.

    You do realize it is really hard to prove criminal activity against a criminal organization that habitually kills informants...

    You do realize it is really easy to "prove" anything you want if you're allowed to make up whatever unevidenced "facts" you want.

    Holy shit, you're on Slashdot, and you dare say something that fucking stupid? Jesus Christ on a cracker.

    Now that you mention it, Hillary killed him too. And pinned it on some guy who supposedly hanged himself.

  18. Re:Does anybody really doubt it on Assange Implies Murdered DNC Staffer Was WikiLeaks' Source (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Does anybody really doubt that this man was assassinated by the DNC/Clintons/etc.?

    Uh, yes. After at least 25 years of continual accusations and conspiracy theories told about the Clintons and investigated by their enemies, who for some reason never can produce any actual evidence, anyone who believes the latest new story is an idiot. It's like believing that the 50th 419 scammer is real, even though the first 49 took advantage of you.

    Or maybe Hillary is the Queen of the Lizardfolk, with an effective IQ of 1679.6, who habitually commits perfect crimes and leaks them to her enemies so she can laugh at their inability to prove anything.

    Please, give it a rest unless/until someone comes up with some actual evidence.

    p.s. - Whatever happened to guccifer2 ?

  19. "Invaluable" was the wrong word, oops. I meant, "of such low value".

    That's "unvaluable".

    Most theories that attempt to incorporate dark matter treats it like some kind of exotic material that does not obey natural laws.

    Not true.

    It's either Hillary's missing e-mail or Donald's missing clue.
