  1. Different type of turbine on Ask Slashdot: Minimizing Oil and Gas Dependency In a Central European City? · · Score: 1
    I remember seeing a different type of turbine. It was rather small, and had more curved blades. I think it was these ones here

    They were supposed to be able to supply power to a small house or apartment.

    Agreed, for most people, Google Docs will handle pretty much everything you'll need.

    I do run into the occasional issue where I have to hop over to Word or Excel when I'm done to finish up some formatting, but in general, I'm google docs all the way

    Subscription to the full office suite for five computers with free upgrades to the latest version, cloud storage, and a few other features. Still sucks, but it's a bit better than just a subscription to a word processor

    I'm debating what I should have for dinner. The girlfriend has offered to make either Curry or Breakfast for Dinner... Which do you think I should go for?

    But was the guy that posted it to 4chan someone that actually visits the site, or did he just hear about it on the news and then decide to tell the people there because he could do so anonymously and hopefully not get caught?

    Someone did the same thing, except on Facebook, not too long ago. Does that mean that people who use facebook are killers?

  6. Re:Wait.. on Bounties vs. Extreme Internet Harassment · · Score: 2
    Correction, 4chan doesn't do any pranks. 4chan is a website with millions of users, all using many different boards, most of which have nothing to do with anything that is going on anywhere else on the internet.

    On occasion, some people that use 4chan do indeed pull pranks and troll others, but they are a small fraction of it's userbase.

    This would be like saying that people that drive cars pull pranks, even though most of the people driving cars don't pull any kind of pranks.

    You don't feed the trolls.

    This is feeding the trolls.

    You receive death threats, you tell the police and let them do their thing.

    It's a potentially great selling point, just poorly implemented.

    How is an advertisement a scam? If I have a product or service for sale, and I give you the information about them in an advertisement, where is the scam?

    I may be tempted to buy a copy of the game now, just to play it and laugh at it's horribleness, but it wouldn't be at a premium, and it sure as hell wouldn't be a copy covered in garbage.

    From what I read, the point was that you shouldn't be a dick at work and make others feel bad. In her case, it was about race or gender, but the problem exists across all reasons that someone could be bullied. You may be the only office goth, the only guy with red hair, in a wheelchair, too many freckles, a fan of the wrong sports team, or anything really.

    I didn't really see much on how that helps innovation other than a happy workforce is a productive workforce.

    Were they excluded?

    If your potential hiring pool is those around you, if you live in a majorly white area, you are going to have a lot of white people. If you are in an area that has a more mixed race population, you'll probably see a more mixed work force.

    Does the company in a white area need to start bussing in minorities in fear of "excluding" people, or should they close up shop in the city they are in and move to atlanta?
