    should be fine as long as you didn't torrent it, because that would mean you giving slices of it to others as you obtained it

  2. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on "Hack" Typeface Is Open Source, Easy On the IDEs · · Score: 1

    Easily, they have too much of letters' parts mashed too close to each other even though it's monospaced, and that makes it hard to read. That is a type of bad kerning, and to screw it up with a monospace takes a particular lack of attention to holistic font design

  3. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on "Hack" Typeface Is Open Source, Easy On the IDEs · · Score: 2

    too much of letters can be too close in a monospace; in fact it takes a particular kind of fail to screw kerning up for a monospace font but they did

    No, GNOME3 and Unity pretty much take the cake for sucky UI, the one on Windows 8 a distant third in suckiness

    he is only claiming the link show Germany's effort to stamp out neo-nazi rhetoric; he did not claim it was source to his other assertions.

    someone doing sysadmin or coding while camping can't be as bad as yahoos with battery TV or "boom box" stereo or even having headphones but volume cranked up too loud

    the slashdot code ate my "less than" and "greater than signs" even with plain text selected, "not greater" is the same as "less than or equal"

  9. Re:$250 + paypal & shipping? on The Coming Terrorist Threat From Autonomous Vehicles · · Score: 1

    those kind of terrorists really don't care if they're caught or killed, a remote controlled vehicle just give them chance to maybe make more attacks before being caught or killed. win-win for them

  10. Re:Dumbest fear mongering yet on Slashdot... on The Coming Terrorist Threat From Autonomous Vehicles · · Score: 1

    plenty of hobbyists could make a remotely controlled car on the cheap for use in wifi covered city. Camera, used laptop, D/A board, linear actuators....would such gear need to cost more than $250?

    Sporting young terrorist wanting video game feel can realize cost savings by just worrying about steering while throttle jammed to good position, forget accelerator control and braking. Maybe forget about remote camera if in view of the venue.

    wrong, plenty of well-to-do terrorists out there. you are aping typical bleeding heart BS.

    simple, you start doing it, others take the hint and leave themselves. employers get punished for hiring such, they take the hint

    you answer your own question about deporting citizens, "not on record". heck more than half of them speak no english at all, no one brought up in this country and in our school systems will be like that.

    not scary? Those corkscrew penises FALL OFF after mating season and a new on is grown!!! Eeeeeeek!!!!!! Let's show videos of that in sex ed classes and tell boys if they have sex their penis will fall off, that'll keep the teen pregnancy rate down.

  16. Re:Christie is ideal on Chris Christie Proposes Tracking Immigrants the Way FedEx Tracks Packages · · Score: 1

    We can deport most the illegals, nothing crazy about it. Easy and cheap too, no need for expensive "holding centers" or any of the other strawman arguments raised.

    Countries have borders and laws and immigration procedures. Those that don't obey them are criminals and can and should be thrown out.

    On average, inner city african americans have a subculture that makes them less employable. They or someone needs to change that subculture, because being less capable and lazier than a latino will indeed make them less employable. Oooo, that was racist, I can hear you bleeding hearts wail. Truth hurts, stereotypes that are generally true are useful.

    mistype and execute the wrong command? No, not a common problem. Unix has man pages to look up commands, and man -k to find commands for a topic. Simple.

    And java conventions of long method camel case names are regarded as silly in other languages, descriptive short methods are very possible
