  1. I want the truth! on Belief In God Correlates With Better Mental Health Treatment Outcomes · · Score: 2

    You misread the article. Knowing God leads to better mental health outcomes. Ignorance of God leads to prolonged misery. Ignorance is misery.

    It is as Jesus said: you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

    It is as Colonel Jessup said: You can't handle the truth.

    I see no reason why medical records software would not work in a virtual environment.

  6. Content, please read carefully on Cold Spring Linked To Dramatic Sea Ice Loss · · Score: 1

    Here's some content:

    Sometimes you actually should listen to the people who dedicated their lives to science. These people spend years learning their field, they are rigorously tested in their field, and most of them graduated as doctors in their field. So forgive me for actually listening to what they have to say as opposed to some schmuck on Slashdot who thinks they know better because they read the weather report last week.

    You're making a joke out of the entire scientific method, and fuck you for doing it.

  7. It's a sign! on Why Trolls Win With Toxic Comments · · Score: 1

    I'll probably get hate for saying it but fuck it, its the truth, Slashdot has REALLY gone downhill since they sold it. We used to have epic threads about subjects like file systems and dark matter and you would often get experts in the field to debate with. Hell I've have argued about different OS designs with some of the guys that were building the bloody things and even when you got schooled you frankly learned something.

    It's obviously a sign that 2013 is the year of Linux on the desktop.

  8. Yay Lawyers! on NASCAR Tries To Squelch Video of Spectators Injured By Crash · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What's a little perjury when you have someone's best interests in mind, right?

  10. Neutral on Driver Trapped In Speeding Car At 125 Mph · · Score: 0

    I've never heard of a car that can't be switched to neutral while in drive.

    (I used to do this occasionally going down an empty road (4 car/hr tops) on a steep hill. Usually got up to 35, which was enough to coast all the way to the stop sign at the top of a smaller hill.)

  11. Re:The key conclusion, if you won't RTFA on Can Legacy Dual-Core CPUs Drive Modern Graphics Cards? · · Score: 2

    Intel now and then makes some real 'stand out' chips, the Q6600 is one of them. It runs pretty great for it's line and can be overclocked.

    I spent $80,000 creating some cool software.

    Actually, they're guilty of antidisestablishmentarianism.

    Since we're changing definitions, I figured I would go with something that sounds much cooler. Also, I get paid by the letter, so there's that.

  14. Re:It's not "modern" freedom of the press on CNET Parent CBS Blocks Review and Award To Dish Over Legal Dispute · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think they were referring to editorial freedom, but like most editors on Slashdot they need to take a journalism class.

  16. Re:show us one good software patent on USPTO Asks For Input On Software Patents · · Score: 1

    You didn't see .wav (or any other audio format) sharing sites before mp3 came around even though .wav files were around for as long as Windows was, and other formats before it.
    Hardly 'baseless' as you say.

    What Internet were you visiting?

    There was music sharing using WAV and others for several years before MP3, the problem was bandwidth and storage, so it was unpopular. Running LHA on a WAV didn't do much, but people did it anyway.

    There's nothing stopping you from telling everyone what you spend your token on.

    I'm willing to bet if enough people go and publicly video themselves buying new games with with any gift cards that it will be enough to be an additional blurb in a news story.

  19. Re:Another reason not to buy Surface on Why Linux On Microsoft Surface Is a Tough Challenge · · Score: 1

    Fucking Microsoft, not letting me install Android on my Zune and Xbox. It's obvious, they're trying to sell the Xbox by using the fact that it works better with Windows as a selling point.

    Yeah, no. New platform, new rules. If you argue that the ARM platform and PC platform are the same, then Microsoft is not a monopoly, and the restrictions placed on them are void, including those on the x86 platform. If you don't combine them, then ARM Tablets are not related to the PC and MS is not a monopoly in ARM and is a monopoly in x86 and the restrictions placed on them apply only to x86.

    So, which do you want? Let MS do what they want in the x86 market or let them compete with yet another walled garden tablet?

    I mean Christ, how much difference is there between the Surface RT and the Surface Pro, the Asus Transformer and the Asus VivoTab? They're almost identical hardware (except the chip), and in the former case almost identical software too

    How much difference is there between a PPC Mac and a Dell Optiplex? They're almost identical hardware, except for the chip and both can run Firefox, so, same software, right?

    Because Microsoft has a dominant market share by EU standards and therefore this sort of behavior is illegal

    Design is for the average user. The average user doesn't have a Thermaltake Xaser case, they have a HP, Compaq or Dell. They don't use Intel's wireless display outside of work and honestly they don't care about the charm bar. They also no longer need to regularly shut down the PC, it will hibernate for them.

    For you: Desktop, Alt-F4. Or create a freaking shortcut, you're a power user, act like one.

    Most users don't really need to restart regularly anymore.

    To shut down, there's a power button on every single computer.

    I know, after years of telling people not to use the power button to shut off the computer, now you should use the power button to shut down the computer.

  25. Re:I'm one of the people who's pretty angry... on New Humble Bundle Is Windows Only, DRM Games · · Score: 1

    That's a lot coming from someone whose argument is:

    WHiiinnneeee.....OMG! NO LINNNNUX 4 CHARITY!!!! THEY DID THE LINUX LAST TIMEEEEEE!!!!!

    Seriously, no one wants to hear that, you're not 4.

    When called out on it, it turns into some sarcastic rant "OMG!! YOU WONT LET ME TAAALLKKK"

    No one really wants to hear that either. Your point of view comes across like a whining toddler that is upset because the candy she has isn't her favorite flavor.

    So stop acting like Humble Bundle just started WW3 and pay attention. Humble was started as an experiment in software distribution and charity, not as some fucking Linux/Mac crossover gang bang that you people have turned it into.
