Could someone recommend to me a newsreader that will integrate several news feeds into a single one? I do not want to use a web site that I have to log into. I just want an app or browser plugin. Thanks.
Would you just shut up with your pathetic bleating.
It's stuff that matters and slashdot has never ever ever been nothing but tech.
What's is with all the whiners about topicality recently?
Well, maybe because Slashdot used to be a tech site ? (with the exception of 9/11 because all other news sites were not handling their massive web visitors)
We used to get news about hackers doing really nice tricks with hardware or software, about kernel releases, driver updates, mp3 or decss legal stuff, SCO vs IBM, space elevators, etcetera... Now get off my lawn;-)
this is the first page i still read in the morning, and i havent heard yet. i have friends in Brussels, thankfully they are all ok, but still. i appreciate the occasional major story. its not like its new either, they posted about 9/11 as well and that was 15 years ago
The only reason 9/11 was on Slashdot was because most other websites (like cnn.com) were not handling the traffic.
India and China have outsourced the West's pollution. They are building factories and power stations by the week with a 19th century regard [lack of] to the environment.
You do realize that this is exactly the reason a lot of *American* companies are building/using factories in China., right?
On a side note, you cannot just sanction Russia + China + India + Iran + N.Korea + Syria + Lybia + $evil_state_of_the_week since this would isolate the USA from most of the world's economy. Not to mention that the USA still relies on Russian rockets to get to the space station.
Clearly it is at a good height now for imaging the whole surface, but as there is no atmosphere could it get down to a mountain scraping orbit? Just high enough to get round the lumps and bumps and variability in the roundness of the object? Would that enable it to image things at a really small pixel size?
Not really. The lower your orbit, the faster your spacecraft has to fly to maintain that orbit.
5) There is nothing wrong with a good test platform.
Really? Now imagine what the posts on this article would be like if this was a Russian or a Chinese 'test platform'. It would be panic all over the place and 'invasion of our air space' etcetera. But somehow it's okay for the US to have secret military 'test platforms'.
In a couple of years NASA will have access to 2 operational manned vehicles. I don't think any other space agency in history has had two different manned launch vehicles operational at once.
Why would ESA not have access to SpaceX manned vehicles ?
Maybe, but it is a persistent and annoying problem. Whenever I unplug the audio, all sound is gone until i start xfce4-mixer and enable sound again. (Retina Macbook with Debian) A solution would be welcome.
China has yet to successfully send a space probe beyond the moon
Wrong! The Change'2 probe went to the Moon, circled it for a year, then went to a Lagrange point, then flew on to the asteroid Toutatis and since then is flying into deep space.
What you say is simply not true. I have ordered eight times from Alibaba this year and all items arrived on time, complete and properly labeled. It is much cheaper than any other website and well designed (easy confirmation of arrival, clear evaluation of sellers and buyers, good tracking of products,...). My guess is Amazon/Ebay and others better hurry to improve their service, because this is one very well organized giant invading their market.
Lego Mindstorms is cool, but expensive and plastic. Makeblock.cc is stronger aluminium, has an arduino core and compatible with Lego (to a certain point). You can use a Raspberry Pi to control either of the above (brickpi is stil on kickstarter).
Governments should be forbidden from using non-Free software. Go ahead and get your company into whatever vendor lock-in you want, but public data should never be subjected to it.

Nope, April Fool's is a nice tradition.
I fired up Kerbal Space Program today and almost fell from my chair laughing ;-)

Parrot Linux and *buntu are based on Debian, so why not use the original ?
Laugh all you want, but at the time of release the 15-inch retina Macbook Pro was not that expensive.
I prefer 16:10 displays to 16:9 !
After three years, it still runs 8+ hours on its battery.
More than half of Belgium is on ipv6, the test only includes ipv4 hosts.
And since when does 'open port' equal 'vulnerability' ?

Mod parent +1.
I live close by, the attacks are disgusting, all schools are closed (with children inside), there is almost no transport available.
Yet I see no reason for this to be on Slashdot.

Why bother with Morgan Freeman or Indiegogo for asteroids when there is real information out there.
What are asteroids (90 minutes with a NASA expert):

Form your opinion after you see these.
I put a long Lego piece on each key. They stack and store easy and I never lose keys.

What were you thinking, putting an autoplaying video on the front page????
(Sorry for going offtopic) ... or something.
Strange that video's never autoplay on my computer. Maybe you should install adblock+, ghostery, muter,

aptitude purge sudo
Then:
apt-get -y install vim tmux
Enter tmux and let it run forever!
Then:
for server: lvm2 rsync tcpdump nmap
for fun: sl cowsay fortune

Support for the open document standard (.odf etc.) in Google Docs should never have been removed.

Do you think it likely that one day you will be more famous for git (or a derivative of git) than for Linux ?
