    \the little bit of condemnation is nothing next the the majority cheering and also making donations in the street markets to extremists. You are a shill for a religion of savages

    that's an understatement, there are more molecules of water in a glass of water ( 2 * 10 ^ 25) than there are estimated stars in the visible universe (10 ^ 24).

  6. Re:and for a good reason. on WSJ Refused To Publish Lawrence Krauss' Response To "Science Proves Religion" · · Score: 1

    The purpose of the WSJ is not nor should not be those silly things you mention: "assist in their formation of knowledge, wisdom, or even understanding of the wold around them". That is laughable. Their purpose is timely delivery of business news, most of that of the "clenchfisted profiteering type" which you scorn. They serve their purpose well, your imagined goals and purposes for them are of no import to them or their customers.

  7. Re:Somehow banks... on Bitstamp Bitcoin Exchange Suspended Due To "Compromised Wallet" · · Score: 1

    yes, they can in fact steal all your money in one swoop, if your account is inactive for a period of time. Those vipers with lawmakers in their pockets give themselves a license to steal.

    why not flame, it's possible to move from Ubuntu to Mint just by changing repos, and Mint is Ubuntu minus the suck.

  10. you pi fanbois need to quit raising that hobbyist toy as a viable solution to people of the normal real world's needs. The processor performance is like a Pentium 2 at 250MHz, it only supports some hundreds of meg of ram, and the graphics performance is abysmal being like systems of 12 years ago. $80 can buy a multi-core system that will have tens of times the power of a raspberry

  11. Re:Great. Bat Genocide Incoming on Ebola Patient Zero Identified, Probably Infected By Bats · · Score: 1

    bats have been known for over a decade to be the carriers of ebola. exterminating bats not a problem, plenty of other creatures eat misquitoes and there is treatment for malaria besides the natural immunity present in the humans there. bring the slaughter on, those filthy creatures carry many other harmful diseases.

    hahaha, you think buying a lot of hard drives for your wintel crap pile at home means you know about "real computers", or that you made change to the steaming pile of GNU that mostly panders to that architecture?

    I doubt you've ever touched a "real computer"

  13. Re:just do strength training on Scientists Say the Future Looks Bleak For Our Bones · · Score: 1

    hits close to home is that my IT coworkers and myself are middle aged and we HAVE to exercise to avoid problems. In other departments there are near-cripples our age that can hardly get up or move around and their life is one of misery and pain. screw that.

  14. Re:Pilot Proof Airbus? on Debris, Bodies Recovered From AirAsia Flight 8501 · · Score: 1

    You're confused, having a computer in the system responding to throttle and yoke movements to move control surfaces is not what we're discussing here. The flesh bags are in the loop and your life as passenger depends on them; some occassional bad landings with body count prove the point

  15. Re:Few companies can move to Africa on The Coming Decline of 'Made In China' · · Score: 1

    haha, the government of an African nation vs. the armed forces of China. Place your bets.

    And for anyone who suggests even the USA can't handle foreign occupation, that's only because the USA is half-assed and merciful. The Chinese will do things brutal colonial Roman-style. for example one anti-chinese action will an entire city wiped out.

  16. Re:The Two Chinas on The Coming Decline of 'Made In China' · · Score: 2

    you only point out what the purpose is of those deserted cities in Africa that China is building. I see some posts here imagining the Chinese will use African people and uplift them.....guess again, it's a kind of colonization, there will be Chinese in those cities getting a somewhat better wage than if they had stayed at home.

    As for dealing with a government that tries to nationalize those factories, I'm betting on the ability of the armed forces of China to be able to whoop any and even all Africa governments at once. Just an excuse to take a de facto colonization to the next level

    not just that, China is building CITIES in Africa that are thus far vacant but for security patrols. I don't think Africans are intended to live in those cities...

    "I'll break the law a little because a 70 ton semitruck might rear end me otherwise" is a different matter. The world isn't black and white like a boolean operation; this shocks some geeks, as you prove.

    that is not a IL tollway, and is south of the big cities and suburbs. Thanks for playing

    And your test pilot friends are out of work? No, they still fly planes? Oops, you lose.

  21. Re:Oh noes! on Out With the Red-Light Cameras, In With the Speeding Cameras · · Score: 2, Insightful

    drive the speed limit on one of the major tollways in IL and then ask your question again after you get shaken up by a few near rear endings, those jake-braking truckers laying on their horns coming up to your trunk should do it. I'd rather be safe, thank you.

    I was so excited I showed up twenty minutes early, but then waited around for half an hour and left disappointed after it seemed no speakers would show. My friends tell me they actually got the rolling at 20:25. Damn, they should be more respectful of other people's time.....

    nope, more complex than that in USA. for example, condomless porn not protected either, even if there was that old ruling that "porn is speech".

    No, reality proves you're confused.

    that was a court ruling on "extreme porn", not on anyone speaking. Right or wrong, porn in the United States and its legality is often seperate matter than "free speech".

  25. Re:just do strength training on Scientists Say the Future Looks Bleak For Our Bones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    you have stereotypes that may not stand up to reality. Plenty of slashdotters and IT geeks exercise. Even more important than the weight training is cardiovascular health: power walk, jog, run, or swim, etc.
