  1. Inequality on Pastafarian Wins Right To Wear Colander In License Photo · · Score: 1

    Slashdot !== Reddit.

    Sigh.

  2. Re:Amazing. on @Whitehouse Hosting Twitter Town Hall On Wednesday · · Score: 1

    Where did you learn mathematics? From a goat? Because that's all I took away from these statements.

    Taxes in this country are so skewed, wrong, dumb, absolutely idiotic that our federal revenue will never be enough to support all the programs we run. The one party that wants to cut spending doesn't want to cut spending from the largest sector (defense), and the one party that wants to make taxes for the rich and for corporations a sane amount is too full of do-nothing, try-hard pussies to get anything done to this effect.

    The political system in this country has been like this for the last quarter century. I'm surprised it's taken this long for it to come back and bite us in the ass. The only way I see out of this is another Great Depression, which is why I'd urge everyone to vote Republican--their primary goal is to trash this country faster than humanly possible.

    As a gentle reminder to anyone who doesn't already have these IPs on a sticky note, the OpenDNS IPs are:

  5. Re:The war on alcohol ended before this on Mexican Cartels Build Mad Max Narco Tanks · · Score: 1

    Cost effective for those running the industry, not the American tax-payer. The American tax-payer is still buying their Latin American weed as an out-of-pocket expense that can't really be written off anywhere in our anti-progressive income taxes.

    Drug-sniffing zombies.

  7. Re:The war on alcohol ended before this on Mexican Cartels Build Mad Max Narco Tanks · · Score: 1

    This isn't about Drugs anymore. This is just a matter of the Mexican government's complete inability to handle this problem and the U.S. government's unwillingness to help deal with it.

    The industry has grown so huge that it's more cost-effective to fight off the Mexican government than reach any potential solution with commercialization/taxation (even though that would never happen anyway).

    No, but Human Sacrifice is definitely Open-Source... just not free.

    Plus, it's been in the current release version for thousands of years, bug-free--none of the issues you see with the more popular OS's.

  9. Re:Someone got a picture of the law? on Tennessee Bans Posting 'Offensive' Images Online · · Score: 1

    The specific text of the act is, in all likelihood, the only extent to which a judge will enforce it, for the very reasons of First Amendment rights.

  10. Re:Someone got a picture of the law? on Tennessee Bans Posting 'Offensive' Images Online · · Score: 1

    Actually, the act text seems only to apply to images of people.

    That's just it. We've been in the world of parallelization for years now, but relatively few open source developers have innovated or even ported for performance. Why? Because such performance gain is a luxury. You pay more for luxuries, that's just a fact of life.

    Nevertheless, your timeframe sounds decent--but that's only as there become more varied and more open tools to support parallel implementations.

    Metapatents lead to metametapatents and so on. Don't do that, or the loop police will come to your house and kill you.

    This is independent of sarcasm. The way infrastructure is created only when it's absolutely, direly necessary in this country is sickening. If you don't think so, then you have no brain / are a faggot.

  15. Re:Netflix on Netflix Dominates North American Internet · · Score: 1

    Here's a technological improvement: have families pick sleeping schedules from a raffle, varied by 1 or 2 hours and evenly distributed. If they don't follow them, deny them internet. Oh wait, freedom... sigh, that one always gets in the way.

    If I scream loud enough, I can attain similar broadcast bandwidths.

    But is it sufficient to uniquely address every elementary particle in the universe? No! That's where we must start (and we also have to have a quantum-state addressing submask).

  19. Re:IP on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 1

    Well, I suppose you saw my point regardless--it's entirely frivolous to use a protocol as relatively advanced as IP for something as simple as changing the statuses of light-bulbs. Although, there is a critical point where using little IP-supporting microchips that are mass produced in tandem with a software solution is less costly than using a proprietary hardware solution... We'll see, I guess.

  20. IP on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 1

    IP stands for internet protocol. Unless your lightbulbs are serving or downloading internet content, I don't see any point to addressing them with their own IP addresses.

    People don't give a damn about the validity of their existing security technologies. They just like the feeling of security.

    It's very possible to define heuristics that create a rewards system for which the only way to game it would be to actually be nice to people. It's also equitable to do so. Don't be so skeptical.
