  1. Re:Welcome to reality my friend on Retiring Worn-Out Wind Turbines Could Cost Billions That Nobody Has (energycentral.com) · · Score: 1

    though as that article notes, there are probably less than a 100 derelict windmills left, there used to be many more

    So you agree they're not abandoned and being left to rust, they're actually being removed? I don't see what this argument is about..!?

  2. Re:good start but too many ads on project pages on SourceForge Debuts New UI and GitHub Sync Tool (sourceforge.net) · · Score: 1

    I don't see any ads on that page, even with uBlock turned off..??

  3. Re: Still hosting Malware despite pledge on SourceForge Debuts New UI and GitHub Sync Tool (sourceforge.net) · · Score: 1

    the decision has been made to ignore the Malware linked but not directly hosted on Sourceforge

    So you guys block Google too?

  4. So something like the Gemini then? https://www.pocket-lint.com/ph...

    It's not - hence "come back" to it later..

    So bookmark it and come back to it later?

    So to avoid QR, you must 1. simply email the link to yourself and click the link in your preferred mobile device.

  9. Re:Usability down the drain on Is Firefox 57 Faster Than Chrome? (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    What's different with bookmarks? I'm seeing no difference whatsoever..??

  10. Re:You got the causation backwards on 80% of Millennials Say They Want To Buy a Home -- But Most Have Less Than $1,000 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Look up inflation - $2.25B in 2000 is worth ~$3.2B now.

  11. There are a number of big name companies listed (HPE, Super Micro, ASRock) so it might get off the ground. Whether it actually amounts to anything interoperable though..

  12. Problem with the Facebook stuff is it uses custom sized racks. This stuff appears to be all standard rack sizes..

  13. Re:... Says the Frenchman on EU Leader Says English Is Losing Importance (politico.eu) · · Score: 1

    Brits get rather annoyed when you use an Americanised word or an American spelling in the UK

    Only when it's in something calling itself English. It's not English, it's American English or International English, not English English..

  14. Re:Picking your post apart: on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Working Environment For a Developer? · · Score: 1

    So doing it properly is the issue, not the VDI system itself..

    Schrödingers wiretap?

  16. Re:Most "English speaking" people... on Uber Says Thousands of London Drivers Threatened By English Language Test (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    On the other hand... the B1 level which is required is the equivalent of "GCE AS level / lower grade A-level" ...

    From their description I'd argue that it's not AS level, it's more GCSE than AS level. But then maybe exams have just gotten that much easier in my time..

  17. Hey, at least the Borg got shit *done*! :)

  18. Re:End of Great Britain? on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Those are Sharia councils - they have no rule and there is noone enforcing them by law. Where are the Sharia patrols operating freely?

  19. Re:End of Great Britain? on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    So, not UK, not UK, not UK and a city where there have been a large number of convictions over the years?

  20. Re:An omen of a Trump victory on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Or maybe because people don't want to pay the higher prices? Would you get in a £20/hr plumber or a £60/hr plumber?

  21. Re:End of Great Britain? on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    growing areas that are effectively under Sharia law

    Sorry, but where are these areas??

  22. Re: Isn't the Model X a prototype? on Model X Owner Files Lemon Law Suit Against Tesla, Claims Car Is Unsafe To Drive (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    3. It was called the model 3 so when you put all the Tesla models together you get s3x. Which, would be funny if I were 12.

    They originally wanted the model 3 to be the model E. But put them in the order they're released in (rather than the arbitrary one you picked) and you actually get SX3, or "sexy".

    But then you're into the utter hell of trying to get RoR working on a webserver, plus getting a new database server installed.

    VB6 just needs a folder copying about, pointing at either an Access database (lordy, no) or a MSSQL/Express server, which an SMB likely already has running somewhere..
