    who used it? Most the major desktop and server software people use on Linux runs on OpenBSD.

    Good thing mayor doesn't know about developers, software engineers and software architects. Or us devops.

  4. 11Ghz - not rare on SETI's 'Strong Signal' Came From Earth (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    X band is used for a lot of things: radar, satellite, microwave relay stations, motion detector, ham radio...the FCC just opened some spectrum at 10.85GHz for 5G (along with 27.5-28.35 GHz, 37-38.6 GHz and 38.6-40 GHz

    oh, what if our thinking has gone irretrievably down the wrong path in certain areas...like maybe we can't unify GR and quantum mechanics because there is a better model than both that we'll never find because our minds are "stuck in a rut"

    and don't give me shit about "string theory", those wankers have been going at it for decades with NOTHING provable to show for their nonsense, unlike GR and QM which at least are useful in their realms and predict experiments we can do

    how come my employer gets 90% of their people from the dumber half of the populace?

    laser sintering of powdered metals for aircraft parts (and other engine and tool & die parts) has been done for quite a while..what do they define as "printing"?

    the FCC eased the regulations on CB but didn't "give up", there are still regulations for the power, antenna height, frequency, etc.

  12. yes, but a first class stamp will cost the same as 1.5 probe missions to alpha centauri system

  13. stability where? not for servers on Ubuntu Linux 16.10 'Yakkety Yak' Beta 1 Now Available For Download (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I like how upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 or 14.04 to 16.04 LTS breaks things because Ubuntu only tested the six month path. Forgetting directories, account name changes, etc.

    the same investment return rates are open to anyone as to person with $2M.

    if you have degree that leads to six figure salary after 10-15 years, no excuse not to have 2M in retirement account.

    you sound butthurt.

    Dyson is a successful engineer and inventor. unlike you. news for you, young engineers make a lot of money.

  16. so on the topic of manatees they say every 35 lbs. overweight reduces effective penis length one inch (2.5 cm for every 16 kg). I'm thinking fearless leader might have a few in crater in that case, a kind of manatee mangina.

  17. not to mention the jiggling and jumping cheeks. no not the pair on his face

  18. if it's only two it can't be a manbang. we at least have to see that fat dumpy little fucker spit roasted

  19. Re:We're All Dying on Ask Slashdot: Is KDE Dying? · · Score: 1

    I think you're the one in a bubble, the decline of GNOME usage alone has been the subject of several articles here. And now we have "KDE is dying" articles.

    Niche use is right, they are niche products appealing to less and less people.

    absolutely false and ignorant statement by you.

    A good laboratory grade mercury thermometer will come with a calibration sheet that has graph of corrections. those can go to more than 0.5C over range of the thermometer.

    19th century thermometers were FAR less accurate, lip blown glass tubes.
