  6. Are you on drugs? on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Bad Programming Ideas That Work? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 0

  8. Ever hear of a PET Scan? on Astronomers To Announce Discovery of a Nearby 'Earth-Like' Planet (seeker.com) · · Score: 1

    PET stand for "Positron Emission Tomography". A "Positron" is identical to an electron but it has a positive charge. It is anti-matter. Want to see anti-matter in use every day? Go get your head scanned.

  9. So what you're saying is.... on Frequent Password Changes Are the Enemy Of Security, FTC Technologist Says (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

  12. This is pretty much equivalent to: on Ubuntu's Unity desktop environment can run in Windows (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

    Wine on Linux, but, the other way around.
    Also, see iBCS under Linux. I'd used this nearly 20 years ago to run other OS binaries directly on Linux (without virtualization).

  13. ...reminds me of those people who drive what is clearly a 5 or 6 thousand dollar value used van/truck through the front of a quikie-mart so they can steal the mini-ATM that probably only has a couple of thousand in cash (max) at any given time. Real profitable. Dumb Ass!

  14. What's this? on NASA's Juno Space Probe Enters Orbit Around Jupiter (cnn.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why can't we get more articles about SystemD and Gnome F-Ups? This is supposed to be news for Nerds. Not sciency junk.

  19. 1.1 Giga-Watts? on Renewable Energy Shows Strong Gain In U.S. (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

  23. You've already accepted a roll-back on TSA: Gun Discoveries In Baggage Up 20% In 2015 Over 2014 (networkworld.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Based on your comments, like most people, you believe that in order for citizens to have a right, it must be granted by the constitution. In fact, it is just the opposite. The constitution grants rights and responsibilities to the government and any responsibility not explicitly granted to the government remains the right of the people. Many of the founders specifically objected to the Bill of Rights for this reason because it made it seem like if the constitution wasn't giving a right to the people, then they didn't have that right. You don't only have the rights in the bill of rights. You have ALL rights unless a specific limitation is put in place in the constitution granting the government dominion over a particular activity. Do not fall into the trap of saying that if it isn't in the Bill of RIghts, it's not a right.

  24. Holy Crap! The French Courts must be hell on Jury on French Drug Trial Leaves One Brain Dead and Five Critically Ill (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I mean, come on. Here in the U.S. when we have drug trials, though the pharmaceutical companies do there best to dazzle the jury with their $1,000.00 per hour lawyers, we don't bore them to death. I mean seriously, a trial left jurors dead and in critical condition? That's some real jurisprudence if you ask me!
