That's it. I've reached my limit. I am removing Slashdot from my RSS reader. It's no longer news for nerds, it's news for idiots who think they're nerds.
The number of inane, boring, misleading, untrue, crazy, stupid and just plain wrong posts far, far outnumber legitimate items of interest. Buffoons post stories and another set of buffoons approve them.
Goodbye, Slashdot.
Idiocy wasn't the point, really. Some dude insinuating that the Good Ole Days were better, when he clearly wasn't around for the Good Ole Days, was the point.
You get a "Also, nice six-digit UID starting with 5. Get the fuck off my lawn," too.
Yeah, try dragging a PC or even a laptop with you as you swing a machete with 40-50 pounds of gear on your back.
Or try stuffing a PC into your toolbox.
Not everyone works behind a desk.
You're an ivory tower weenie. Shut up.

How old are you? 3? How am I suppose to respond to "You're an ivory tower weenie. Shut up.". Schoolyard taunt? Grow the fuck up.
Last time I checked a hiking backpack and a small laptop were an option for most. You can even get toughened notebooks. You'd know that if you ever held a machete you arrogant ass. But I somehow don't see an image of you walking through the jungle with a machete in one hand and your HP or TI calculator in the other even semi realistic.
Go troll somewhere else, and make it believable.
Dude. You just told Bear Grylls to grow the fuck up. Better get your house in order. You are not long for this Erf.
Cement is an ingredient of concrete. It is not the finished product. Calling concrete "cement" is as stupid as calling clothing "cotton", or calling a sandwich "mayonnaise". Once you apply the mayonnaise to bread and add some lunchmeat, your creation has become a sandwich, and it is no longer simply mayonnaise.
I had a roommate with a mid-range projector upon which we would play console games. Shot it at a white wall in a room with good blinds to keep it dark. Playing a fighting game or Madden with life-sized characters is awesome. Highly recommended. I get the feeling it wouldn't be as neat with a PC game, though: we had big plushy couches to sit on, which would be an impediment if playing an FPS with mouse and keyboard, though any game requiring a gamepad would be fantastic.
Are you insinuating that market penetration of Firefox in a region is an indicator of overall acceptance of OSS in that region? That's pretty asinine, even for/. If you ask ten random Firefox users why they use it, I wager that nobody will answer "because it's open source." In fact, I'll double down on that wager: I bet nobody in that random sample of ten will even know that Firefox is open source, or, for that matter, know what open source means.
When I worked at JcPenney we would waste a day just ticketing items..... and oftentimes did not finish because of customers demanding service.
Those fucking customers and their fucking demands. Hey, asshole, can't you see I'm busy ticketing items? What, just because you pay my salary you think I should drop this mundane task to assist you?
Actually, if the object is in low Earth orbit, it wouldn't be encountering very much solar wind regardless of whether the satellite is in Earth's shadow or not. The planet's magnetic field deflects most of the solar wind away at an altitude far above the orbits of most satellites.
Even so, your point is valid; this is not, by any definition, a solar sail. It is a parachute.

You should apply for a job at the Onion. Seriously, this bullshit is better than their bullshit.
They're using longwave IR, but as the summary noted, as a FEL it can produce light at pretty much whatever wavelength they want.

Whoosh. Also, nice six-digit UID starting with 5. Get the fuck off my lawn.
What has Slashdot become?
Nice 6 digit uid there, kid.
Simon? Is that you?

Yeah, I get that fucking irritated by this.
AND SO SHOULD YOU.
Actually, I'm reading it on my fourth monitor, which is a 42" Sony in portrait mode.
Now they are joining forces?
It's like some kind of hideous, journalistic Voltron.

Is this a relevant story because the fraud happened online, or because of some other reason that is not in TFA?
Teh lulz are always relevant.
Liquid magma, as opposed to solid magma?
We have clearance, Clarence.
Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

Sunk costs should never influence your current decision.
...but this guy is in a pretty shitty country where the cops are far, far more corrupt than the ones in the western world.
Clearly you've never visited the city of New Orleans or the state of Illinois.
Good idea.

I want my phone to be heavy enough that if I knock somebody down with it, they stay down.

I own the .org domain for my last name (it's a four letter last name, so that was lucky).
So /you're/ the guy who owns fuck.com?
Not like eating silver. That shit hurts.
