  1. Re:Policy on Of Diamond Planets, Climate Change, and the Scientific Method · · Score: 1

    If diamond planets is true, we move on as if nothing ever changed. If climate change research is right, we and future generations are fucked up the butt with a large diamond studded dildo that will make the current economic crisis look like a child play.

    Are you feeling lucky?

  2. Re:Nice summary, but... on Marking 10 Years Since 9/11/2001 · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is horrible that they should celebrate the death of 3,000 Americans when only 500,000 got killed in an US backed anti-communist purge.

  3. Re:Korea? Wich Korea? on YouTube Disables Comments and User Uploads For Korean Users · · Score: 1

    They of course talk about South Korea, after all the North is called 'Democratic People’s Republic of Korea' which as we know fall into the category of democratic countries.

  4. Re:Good luck with that on Ask Slashdot: Best Programs To Learn From? · · Score: 2

    That's probably the most retarded piece of advice I've seen; congratulations on managing to take a lot of C++ FUD and turning it into 'helpful advice for a newbie'.

  5. Write a large project yourself on Ask Slashdot: Best Programs To Learn From? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nothing more to it, the gradual expansion of your own project will teach you the techniques you need... or you'll drown.

  6. Re:Accuracy in the article. Wow on Fukushima and Chernobyl Side-by-Side · · Score: 1

    I'm more interested in the accuracy of the summary, when did Cs-137 suddenly become 'the contaminate of greatest concern'?

    I was under the impression (correct me I'm wrong) that radioactive cesium was the _LEAST_ dangerous one, due to the long half-life and that is spread pretty evenly in the body. That plutonium and uranium where the most dangerous, despite the difference in ratio, and that more than cesium the radioactive iodine would be of concern.

  7. Re:It's not just British CS... on British CS Majors Doing Badly In the Jobs Market · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, computer science is as stupid a name as social science.

    It's called 'informatics' in Europe (not IT), and that reflects it being to information what mathematics is to math. It's such a simple and fitting word, it makes me sad that 'computer science' gets used so much and basically degrades the whole field down to the level of the social 'sciences'.

  8. Re:Steam policy on account bans on AMD Accidentally Leaks 1.7 Million DiRT 3 Keys · · Score: 1

    Yes, and since the US is World Police we all must adhere to US law.

  9. Re:Discovered within hours of its explosion? on See a Supernova From Your Backyard · · Score: 1

    How can you be so sure? Nothing travels faster than the speed of light and time stands still for the photons so no time has passed between the moment they were emitted and when they were observed by us.

  10. Re:Sabotage/Discrediting campaign on Anonymous Claims Responsibility For WikiLeaks Attack · · Score: 2

    I don't really see how the maid being a powerful serial offender would invalidate the OP's point, that she has a history of making up fake (and very convincing) rape stories would seem to make both cases seem even more similar.
    The Assange case also involved a woman with a history of supporting the use of false rape charges for personal gain.

  11. Re:Flood the Sahara on Swiss Researchers Try to Make it Rain With Lasers · · Score: 1

    What they should build are vast farms of passive air condensers, much cheaper and have low maintenance requirement. Start by building them west coast of Sahara and move inland.

  12. Re:Shortsightedness is a weakness on LHC Data Continues To Disagree With Supersymmetry · · Score: 1

    Except this is the equivalent of having a round-earth hypothesis and finding that ships do not disappear behind the horizon.

  13. Re:Diamonds are not rare, not even on Earth. on Massive Diamond Found Orbiting Pulsar · · Score: 1

    So tell me... What is "unnatural" with the diamond orbiting that neutron star, which is likely more 'perfect' than any made by humans?

  14. Re:Better Press Release on Massive Diamond Found Orbiting Pulsar · · Score: 1

    Also you can't just go around saying helium has different density to diamond, as the density of diamond is 3.53 g/cm^3 and Jupiter is 1.33 g/cm^3... Which means that since a planet like Jupiter would not grow much in size due to gravity until its mass was more than circa 12x Jupiter masses, which is when fusion gets ignited.

    So helium could have the same density as diamond, depending on the location of each.

  15. Pubic sector? on Countries Ponder: GNU/Linux vs. Microsoft · · Score: 1

  17. Slashdot on DoS Attacks Persisting, On The Rise · · Score: 0, Redundant

    And /. is one of the worst sources of DoS.

  18. Re:Sound ? on Review: Nex II CF MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    I'd consider my Sony MDR-V700 headphones portable, and the soundcards/MiniDisc players i've tested it on crap out long before those headphones do.

    Well, I think i know what he's babbling about...

    See, 3/4 year ago or so we had to relocate our website and some other services. SourceForge was one option we considered. We didn't.

    And seems he has been twisting that discussion beyond recognision.

  21. Re:Definitely needs a mirror on The WorldForge Project Celebrates Three Years! · · Score: 2

    Well, who said that we will provide all the game servers? Sure we will, but that's not the goal. We're doing this to give *you* the tools to put up your own gameserver. It's not like we got a ton of cash to put kickass servers on fat lines.

  22. Re:cheating on The WorldForge Project Celebrates Three Years! · · Score: 1

    The client is considered *completely* untrust-worthy. So, it will not have any knowledge or controll beyond what is allowed. You can't hack the client to see if there's a trap infront of you, or a monster behind the door if the server isn't telling the client.
