  1. Re:Not 5 vaccines, 7-11 on Mississippi - the Nation's Leader In Vaccination Rates · · Score: 4, Insightful

    By "moderate anti-vaxxer", you mean "I've got Dunning-Kruger and think I know more than doctors and scientists who study this for a living". You're hardly the only slashdotter who wrongly thinks he's smarter than actual experts.

    I'm no antivaxxer, but do they have the lowest rates of autism, or merely the lowest /diagnosed/ rates? Given their poverty one can imagine fewer people going to the doctor in those states.

    The Free Market(peace be upon it) will solve this automatically! Any government regulation will kill the Free Market(pbuh) and jobs!

    The local walmart sells dick pills in the pharmacy, ffs. The sort of crap spammers advertise, promising to make it bigger.

    Life's too short to argue with trogs who have their minds made up already, chum. You're not worth it.

    You are a moron, but not for the reason you suppose. You're utterly ignorant of a teacher's life, for starters.

    It's amazing that some random thinks he can read my mind like that.

    Your unwillingness to understand things outside your bubble of victimhood is adorable.

    I suppose it might seem that way to the sort of paranoid fuckwit who believes conspiracy theories, yes.

    Strawman. I see you're interested in keeping your imagined victimhood, less so in having a conversation.

  12. Re: "equal treatment" on WA Bill Takes Aim at Boys' Dominance In Computer Classes · · Score: 1

    I think you and the others arguing the "equal treatment" thing are getting whooshed, likely due to poor reading comprehension. Hint: it's unlikely that millionaires would want or need to sleep on the sidewalk.

    As long as the girls have equal opportunity to get in and aren't steered away for sexist reasons then or earlier in life, yes.

    Liberals are for equal outcomes, not equal opportunities.

    Wrong. Non-strawman liberals are, in fact, for equal opportunities.

    You could make a perfectly good argument about making a gender-blind program, but that won't be made; instead it'll be ZOMG WOMEN ARE JUST DIFFERENT and WHITE MEN ARE VICTIMS.

    Cue the red-pillers.

    Pretty much. Ignorant people would rather pointlessly bitch about how IT DOESN'T HAVE FEATURE X (for this amazingly low price) than pick an appropriate tool.

    These "discussions" should provide fodder for a sociological paper about Dunning-Kruger.

    Well thank goodness some random Internet commenter is here to set us straight. I'm glad you're smarter than those dummies at Columbia University.

    Wrong. There are no 64-bit drivers for this card starting at least with Win7. You'll need either 32-bit Windows or 32/64-bit *nix.

    Those new releases were bugfixes on older branches.

  20. Re:Blame it on the media on The Gap Between What The Public Thinks And What Scientists Know · · Score: 1

    Part of that is undeniably incompetence on various journos' parts, but part is also the lack of diversity in who ultimately owns our media. If one owner *cough cough*Rupert Murdoch*cough cough* decides that some scientific result is inconvenient to his business or political goals, all the media outlets that owner controls will lie to their readers/viewers/listeners.

    It's not just Murdoch; watch what happens next time Disney wants to buy a copyright extension and see which outlets report on it and how.

    Turns out that Cyanogenmod supports that phone:

    GSM version: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/...
    Sprint version: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/...
    Verizon version: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/...

    GSM version gets the latest. Verizon and Sprint versions have been dropped, probably due to lack of maintainer interest, but the Verizon one at least gets something 4.4-based.
