  1. Re:Whaaat? From EULA... to CLA on Microsoft Launches Open-Source Quantum Katas Project On GitHub To Teach Q# Programming (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    This is why I abandoned the Microbit. An IoT device connected to the MS Cloud. They have : you gave granted us the perpetual worldwide license to everything.

    Note: mis spelled word License in the quote above says it all.

  2. What moron has called the tool SS ? I thing someone who does not check Google first. It is not only Unix history being wiped here.

  3. Really good repeating on Reporter Shares Experience of Visiting a Flat Earth Convention (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm very concerned to see all slashdotters being told what to think, both by the article and the comments. Hard candy is not at stake: no proofs of neither the globe or the flat have been given. Vague lines attributed to the flatties are the shallow "now I see the stillness of the water", not the mathematical, laser beam etc experiments like you can find in the concaveearth documentary or the 100 proofs the earth is not a globe (book).

  4. They will have it their way on Torvalds Opposes Tying UEFI Secure Boot to Kernel Lockdown Mode (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Well now Microsoft is investing more and more into open source and putting out linux updates like a champ, we might say they really care about what will happen. In this regard I can suggest the outcome that if L.T. does not bend (and he usually does not) they might even fork to ensure they have their version of linux the way they want it.

  5. Re:Hadn't heard about Snapcraft, but it sounds gre on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Could Come with Snap Apps Preinstalled (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Most of all it will make windows 11 a more viable platform. This is _their_ escape from lib hell.

  6. It 's a virus on Microsoft Has Built a Linux Distro · · Score: 1

    I remember some MS big shot saying that. Linux, GPL is a virus.

    They must have found themselves infected by now.

  7. Re:Science? You mean ignorant. on The Town That Banned Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Sure. I taught many people how to do that, actually. It is easy. It's a 10 minute job. Who needs "science" when you can do it right away.

  8. Re:What I wrote's nonsense dave420? on The Town That Banned Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Yeah Dave, that is nonsense. Good.

  9. Re:Science? You mean ignorant. on The Town That Banned Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Interesting isn't it.

    When I say what I can, you tell me what to do or to shut up.

    How polite.

  10. Science? You mean ignorant. on The Town That Banned Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Can science prove that I can feel a drop of moonlight on my hand, shining ?

    Can science show why I can sense the aura of fruits, trees, animals, humans, with my hands or with a simple rod ? Or are you saying that I can't, while I have obviously done that. I can teach anyone in an hour, unless they have their minds shut down.

  11. Of course, chemistry and biotech are not tech on EU Drops Plans For Safer Pesticides After Pressure From US · · Score: 1

    How to make something grow or die, no, that really can't be tech. It can only be tech if I understand it.

  12. Nonsense or not, it's distracting on Top Advisor To Australian Gov't Says Climate Change is a UN Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    I've been a green principalist for many, many years. Did not even have a car. Still don't fly. Vegetarian. Over the last few years, I've somehow changed. Now I own a car and a motorcycle. Use the shower that extra time.

    Why?

    Because now, I believe that climate change, oil peak, may be real, may be fake, but anyway, distract us from the real thing. The original Tesla free energy. He had the systems going about a hundred years ago. Then, his money supply was unplugged - the banker JP Morgan had interst in the oil business as well.

    Here we are, still arguing over these bogus subjects, while we should have had free energy a long time ago.

  13. 1 to 5 years old on Study Confirms No Link Between MMR Vaccine and Autism · · Score: 1

    Well that's that then. All of the autistic children that I know - but I'm no database, I'm a teacher - are over 12.

    Quite obvious trick to search in a group where they have not been labelled autistic yet.

  14. Proof? on Ebola Vaccine Trials Forcing Tough Choices · · Score: 1

    Well, none of the current or the older vaccines have been proven to work. Impossible.

    The idea to produce vaccines the way they do it, is rather, lets say, .... questionable to say the least. Usually, they (who damn well know the vaccine doesn't work) introduce it once the outbreak has already peaked.

    Try me and find out when polio hit hard and when did the vaccine come out.

  15. It's one table, like this on Ask Slashdot: Events Calendar Software For Local Community? · · Score: 1

    A well known website over here is http://aktieagenda.nl/. They have exactly this service, which is - as some comments already found out, ancient, and a DIY solution. What more do you want, when it's just 1 database table to be filled.

  16. Re:People who rail against vaccines on Congressional Committee Casts a Harsh Eye On Vaccination Science · · Score: 1

    Did you know they only introduced that one after the peak was already past?

  17. I have rarely met such an overwhelming crowd of uninformed, misguided, highly educated beings. Does anyone really think it will help to discuss here? Nobody - I repeat, nobody, will move to the other side!

  18. It's a simple paradigm shift on Alan Cox to NVIDIA: You Can't Use DMA-BUF · · Score: 1

    Pretty obvious the linux crowd can't convince the lawyer-marketing team. They speak a different language. In their dictionary "cooperation" does not exist. They know competition, and that is all there is.

    We don't need these competition suckers anyway. That paradigm is just blocking real progress.

  19. Re:Coffee is... on New Study Links Caffeinated Coffee To Vision Loss · · Score: 1

    Why is this modded as funny?

    It's informative.

  20. And the forgotten option is.. on Organics Can't Match Conventional Farm Yields · · Score: 1

    permaculture.

    For those who hardly see beyond their screens:
    * industrial farming requires 10x - 100x the energy of the food it yields (incl.transport, chemicals, cooling)
    * organic does a lot better, but still farming is done 'on rows', monoculture.
    * permaculture is chaotic, works with plants (and other elements) in guilds, who cooperate and support each other. Permaculture can outperform conventional farming, counting tons of yield per hectare. So says taco, our permaculture guru. He's far more reliable than a bunch of sold out scientists, paid by whoever it may be.

  22. Re:Silverlight truly cross-platform? Right. on Battle For Open Standards In Dutch Public Education · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Even worse: Moonlight has never reached that maturity to keep up with the latest-of-the latest that's being used by Schoolmaster's Magister Silverlight app. I still keep a virtual WindowsXP available to boot, whenever I need to fill in marks for the kids.

    Indeed, here's an IT teacher from NL with linux at home.

  24. Re:December 21st, 2012 - from history on Scientists Predict Big Solar Cycle · · Score: 1

    No, its not that funny. At the calculated date, dec 21 2012, the cosmos will have the same constellation as at the end of the previous era, after the large ice age which ended 10.000 bC.
    It was the time when the Sfinx was built, before the times of the large rainfalls, 9000-8000 years ago,

    Now we don't really know what is the cause of galactic sorms, do we?

    The laughed-at Mayan calendar is in fact more accurate than ours. Why laugh? Ignorance?

    The end of the Mayan calendar is not the end of the world, it's the end of * this * world. Previous worlds have existed, ended by disasters such as Noah's flood. Us humans are only 150.000 years on this planet and we;ve gone through several ice-ages.

    In our case, our solar system will line up with "Hunab-Ku", the center of the Universe, as they refer to it. See it as an electromagnetic axis. The planet will cross the N-S border by 2012.
    If the polar axis flips, this may cause vulcanoes to erupt, clouds to darken the sky, the temperature to drop.

    Whatever Nasa science will tell us, if it is this alarming, it will only make the predictions of the Mayans more reliable. Get ready. Don't panic. Don't laugh,.get informed.

    In Belgium, someone has been brought to "justice" for using his neighbour's wlan. The neighbour was a doctor who did not really know anything and had everything wide open. So was his neighbour, using the other, stronger connection automagically, as windows does.
