  1. They don't want to turn into homosexuals on Bill Gates' Donation of Thousands of Chickens Rejected by Bolivia (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Some years ago Evo Morales said that chickens were full of feminine hormones and are the cause of homosexuality.

  2. No, it doesn't. With older versions and with Libreoffice I know where to find almost everything. With Ribbon many times I have to Google (for very normal things). Ironically I thing that for tablets is a good interface.

  3. Add a simple feature to an opensource program on 'I Know How To Program, But I Don't Know What To Program' (devdungeon.com) · · Score: 1

    Find an use case in a program that you use and dimple/improve it.

  4. People lie about their age to get their porn on Porn Giant xHamster Blocks North Carolina Users Who Support Anti-LGBT Law (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    People lie about their age to get their porn so they will lie about this too.

  5. Re:The Angry Mob on Laid-Off Disney IT Workers Decry Offshoring At Trump Rally (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I dont want to sound sexist but she is a woman. That is her selling point. That and the fact that she has powerful friends.

  6. Re:No use fighting it on Torrents Time Lets Anyone Launch Their Own Web Version of Popcorn Time · · Score: 1

    Thats why I said convenient: a big catalog (no more searching torrents/emule/etc), good download speed (no problems with seeds/peers, dead torrents), no cracking exes, a comunity with forums, mods, etc. Thats the way: to offer a better product.

  7. Re:No use fighting it on Torrents Time Lets Anyone Launch Their Own Web Version of Popcorn Time · · Score: 1

    I agree. Steam, Origin, GOG, were what did more to stop piracy in PC videogames because they are convenient and have good prices.

    Wind turbines shut down during storms.

  9. Re:That's exactly right on Why James Hansen Is Wrong About Nuclear Power (thinkprogress.org) · · Score: 1

    IsnÂt that more dangerous that a nuclear plant? A little os space trash, a software bug and you have a death ray killing thousands.

  10. Re:That's exactly right on Why James Hansen Is Wrong About Nuclear Power (thinkprogress.org) · · Score: 1

    Yes but you canÂt make a base load power plant with solar or wind. With nuclear you can.

  11. Re: Probably a lie on How a Young IRS Agent Identified the Man Behind Silk Road (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    That guy probably played an old version of Civilization.

  12. Re: Randall munroe is a piece of shit on Randall Munroe Interviewed: Answers In Comic Form (time.com) · · Score: 1

  13. What about s Python replacement? on Julia Programming Language Receives $600k Donation · · Score: 1

    When I read about Julia I thought that. HIgh level features, beautiful syntax, macros and metaprogramming and has better perfomance than Python and it is better at multiprocessing.

  14. Doctor Strange on What's Next For Superhero Movies? · · Score: 1

    So much potential .... I also would like to see Adam Warlock vs Thanos. But what i would prefer is that Marvel would uses their Crossgen rights: Mystic, Scion, Ruse ... They have material for very different genres and the sigil theme is a plus.

  15. Re:I think we may start to see comic book stories on What's Next For Superhero Movies? · · Score: 1

    I think Daredevil did this well: the origin was only a small flashback.

  16. Re:Respect the H2O on IBM Deploys Hot-Water Cooled Supercomputer · · Score: 2

    You would decrease the oxygen solubility in water and that would be bad for life in the river if you heated it too much.

    It would be more useful to replace the Android JIT with the Mono one.

  18. 400 people? on Taxes Lead Angry Birds Maker Rovio To Consider Move To Ireland · · Score: 1

    And they only have two games (three with the space version), and one of them was bought.

    You are wrong %Increase in velocity=100x(New velocity-Old velocity)/Old velocity So if new code is 60 fps and old is 30 fps that is a 100% faster. Same with other definitions of velocity.

  20. Re:next thing to do... on Linaro Tweaks Speed Up Android, By Up To 100 Percent · · Score: 1

  24. Lack of contents on OLPC Project Disappoints In Peru · · Score: 1

    Here in Spain politicians thought that they could improve the education problem by giving latops to the students instead of addressing the real problems and without providing educational contents. A computer can be a god teaching tool. for example: *A virtual tour of Pompeii using Google Street View *Some years ago I watched a cool 3D animations of various celular processes. I wish I could watch this in my high school days, it would have helped a lot. *Use plotting tools to manipulate mathematical functions. *A virtual laboratory But as far as I know they use the latops only for word processing or ebooks.

  25. Standard library on Why New Programming Languages Succeed Or Fail · · Score: 1

    It must have a big standard library which covers most common needs. In Java you can develop almost any kind of application without the need for third-party libraries.
