    It's not ending, it's just prepping itself for the 1/2 way point.

  4. Re:How is plankton a good carbon sink? on Huge Phytoplankton Bloom Found Under Arctic Ice · · Score: 1

    Well, I have a feeling there was a pretty great carbon release about ~250 million years ago...
    Look up "the great dying".

  5. Re:slackware is still around? on LinuxQuestions Interviews Slackware Founder Patrick Volkerding · · Score: 3, Insightful

    not the kind of distro you wanna risk your business on.

    Neither is Ubuntu, Damned Small Linux, and thousands of other ones. There are niches for them, just as Slackware has a niche.

  6. Re:Elephant metric system on New Analysis Shows Dinosaurs Not As Heavy As Previously Believed. · · Score: 1

    Come on mate, how do you think American's translate to kilograms, and vice versa?
    It's simple math.
    Note: I'm American and I translate for those that don't understand Imperial measurements. All in all, when in Rome do as the Romans do.

    It's okay to think when you're a child, it's not something odd...

    If gimp is a replacement for photoshop in your case, you weren't the right demographic for photoshop.

    It's like using MS paint as a replacement for autocad.

  10. Re:Time to update the book on Artist's Catcopter Causes a Stir · · Score: 1

    The disturbing thing is, when I saw that picture my mind instantly thought the cat was alive and I was like "cool!!!".

    This isn't about opinion, it's about discussion.
    We can sit and spout our opinions all day until we're blue in the face, it does no good. *mutters something about gay whales*

  12. Re:Exoplanets on When Continental Drift Was Considered Pseudoscience · · Score: 1

    Exoplanets are simply planets that exist outside of our solar system.... it's absolutely silly to even fathom the concept of refuting that...

    And it's quotes like that which turn things from patriotism to borderline terrorism.

  19. Re:Treaspassing on Whose Cameras Are Watching New York Roads? · · Score: 1

    Bad analogy since a proxy completely obfuscates your actions as another machines, while obscuring license plates just makes the quick 2 second check thing fail. Simple deduction works after that. No matter what, if info is wanted it can be found. The license plate is only one variable in the algebraic equation here, with lots of other variables filled in with a picture along with knowing exact timestamps and possibly passenger numbers, etc.

  20. Re:Where the hell Liberty has gone to ? on Whose Cameras Are Watching New York Roads? · · Score: 2

    I think you're lumping the entire 2000-2012 with hillary... since not much human right stuff has happened within America in the last 4 years.... sure, there were protests, but that was towards capitalist companies. There weren't any massacres or human rights violations. At least not on a large scale, since obviously there's bound to be a single person case somewhere in nearly every country.

    Except: Apple is not doing this on their own hardware. You can install Windows & Linux on Apple hardware.

    You just can't install a piece of software (OSX) they made for Apple hardware, on another non-Apple hardware. It's different, and less restrictive by a long shot.

  24. Re:'pop music'... on Do Headphones Help Or Hurt Productivity? · · Score: 2

    or they'll just be douches like some people at my jobs where they'll walk up to you and start talking and once you realize they're there and pause/remove the earbuds, they say something about how they figured if they kept talking to you that you'd turn off your earphones and listen.
    Makes me want to deck them, since they act like you're doing something wrong by not listening to every noise around you and answer any question in the airspace. (without your name being said)

    My last job I was in code-mode with some trance going with a nice rhythm... totally sunk into it and disconnected. Someone came behind me, and firmly put their hand on my right shoulder, very close to my neck.... I'm VERY sensitive to unknown human contact, nearly broke their arm before realizing what was going on :( When will people realize, don't do stupid shit.
