  1. Re:Discrimination against who exactly? on PayPal Pulls North Carolina Plan After Transgender Bathroom Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    wrong, any pervert can now claim "he's feeling like a woman and soon to undergo various stages of transition"

    these LGBT-nazis are trampling on women's rights in this and other matters

  2. Re:Upper case never made sense on AP Style Alert: Don't Capitalize Internet and Web Anymore (poynter.org) · · Score: 1

    Wrong, the Oxford English Dictionary, the W3C, the IETF, and ICANN disagree with you. It is a proper noun.

  3. labels on criminals are good on AP Style Alert: Don't Capitalize Internet and Web Anymore (poynter.org) · · Score: 1

    Criminals that have violated immigration laws can certainly be labeled as illegal immigrants, illegals, invading aliens, etc.

    The AP shouldn't be pandering to the interests of lawbreakers

    what's so hard to understand? any law that impedes the shekel flow to the MPAA is bad; any law that protects or increases it is good

  5. Re:Nothing new on The Spread of Ignorance (bbc.com) · · Score: 0

    wrong, the "actual science" of which you speak has advertsising, politics, cronyism, infighting, lies, false papers, etc. Science is a human endeavor and as such has human problems.

  6. Re:Nothing new on The Spread of Ignorance (bbc.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    you are funny, as if religion is the only realm where this occurs. Let's not forget the stupidities of science and medicine and industry in the past five centuries to present either.

  7. "first data center OS" on Microsoft and HP Enterprise Invest $73.5 Million In Mesosphere Startup (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    first data center OS - oh really?

    do tell how this is different from clustered OS from decades ago that were on global networks?

  8. They can do that and modifer keys with erect nipples, in stark contrast to moobing the keyboard which has no such accuracy.

    nothing stupid about natural behavior, there is excellent (biological) reason for it.

    I wonder why so many don't do like ye olden days when a floppy disk was first malware scanned before using a program or loading data from it on it by people who cared.

    Of course, that only protects against "known threats to the scanner", but that's one step better than blind trust

  12. Re:Race to the bottom on AMOLED Displays Are Now Cheaper To Produce Than LCD (androidauthority.com) · · Score: 1

    these AMOLED have much shorter life because the organics used decompose, great for forced obsolescence. maybe they'll be used in big monitors so everyone has to refresh every three years.

    aw, the remaining fanboi is butthurt.

  14. sad news for you, women have a kind of "stealth penis" that develops from the same tissues as your dong during gestation. They can even discretely masturbate it with thigh movements while typing code, while you have to work one-handed!

  15. Re:now divide by 4 on China Is On an Epic Solar Power Binge (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    10 TW-hours of energy per year in the USA used(delivered not production which has losses like steam->electricity). One square meter of solar panel makes 1KW-hour of electricity per day if 20% efficient and the average 5 hours sun. 100 square miles is 2.6E8 square meters. So each day those solar panels make 2.6E8 KW-hours or 2.6E11 W-hours. Per year they make 365 * 2.6E11 = 9.5TW-hours

  16. Re:now divide by 4 on China Is On an Epic Solar Power Binge (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 2

    My phrase "paving the desert" was metaphorical only, the energy needs of the U.S. could in fact be met by less than 100 square miles of solar panel in Nevada. So "paving over the area of a city (Milwaukee WI specifically, 97 Sq Mi) in the Nevada desert", how about that?

    I agree totally, but I'm just laughing at this article that assumes everyone must use a computer all the time. when in the mood I've spent long multi-day holidays reading and bicycling and not touching the keyboard even though I'm in IT and hack (not crack) at home on on various code projects for fun.

    not understandable at all when they're spitting in the face that made them a success. the money is for official redhat phone support, hot fixes, etc.

    note the binaries are different between redhat and centos and scientific linux, the compilation environment isn't perfectly duplicated

    oh well, we've removed hundreds of redhat at work. good luck with the empty suits when us tech people won't specify you, redhat. of course, you depend on the oracle and ibm wares that list supported distros, but realize even there are alternatives to RH and there is big push to remove the domino, websphere and even oracle in many business sectors.....

  22. Re:"open source" on Red Hat Becomes First $2 Billion Open-Source Company (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    You would have to build binaries yourself and hope you get the settings for compilation "correct"

    worth noting the binaries are NOT identical between redhat and centos and scientific linux

  25. "open source" on Red Hat Becomes First $2 Billion Open-Source Company (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    closing access to the security/bug repositories except to paying customers isn't the open source spirit. RedHat forgets who made them great, it was us in the 90s that could install and try it out, and became sold on it so we introduced it at work by buying the full support.

    That's why a lot of us have tossed RH over the side at work now for alternatives. Using Fedora, an alternative distro that makes the users test rats for RH brain farts, is making us 2nd class citizens.
