    people's internet connections are more reliable than their POTS service? on what planet?

  3. Re:Sorry on Peanut Allergy Treatment Trial In UK "A Success" · · Score: 1

    just another reply to tell you that you're wrong. Wife is SE asian and consumed the normal mountain of peanuts and other nuts (and eggs) during pregnancy as she always does. Son has egg and nut allergies, his sister does not. Apparently no correlation with food consumed by mother, nor easily identifiable other environmental factor.

    yeah we're clearly doing it wrongly where I work, what with the database, middleware, infrastructure and proxy layers around the servers.

    news for you, I've worked at places where the accountants' eyes light up for end of month, and the big run in January for end-of-year is like a weeks long orgy. So you haven't met true accounting types, with the CPAs and belonging to trade associations and submitting papers to journals....

    I would disagree that the experiment did so little; however, your posting, on the other hand....

    that depends only on definition. while a conventional silvered glass can't act as true one-way glass, powered devices certainly can. Some cameras, a computer with wares that left-right reverse image, a large screen, and presto a " true one way glass". or at least we'll have marketing tell people that.

    I'd say it's more due to AC like yourself, posting venting spew with no contribution to the topic whatsoever. Are you a general failure in life?

    we were discussing issue of businesses choosing to change what they use, and possible consequences.

    funny, we use LibreOffice where I work, with over 400 employees...maybe your blindness is caused by wanking too much?

    logic fails you

    if a business used LibreOffice, the board would be using LibreOffice Impress to view LibreOffice Impress documents and giving presentations with the PC hooked to the big screen running LibreOffice Impress.

    Maybe some loaner using PowerPoint would have their slide looking like garbage in such a company....

  15. Re:Ha the science publishers will be all over this on Amherst Researchers Create Magnetic Monopoles · · Score: 4, Informative

    no, that equation still holds with no known exceptions.

    summary is wrong, no monopoles were produced, just a formation that in some ways resembles one but is not a magnetic source or sink.

    really, the sensationalist nonsense of half of slashdot's headings needs to stop

  16. Re:Free software on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 1

    nonsense, Linus already makes money producing "free software" (GPL'd).

    no conflict whatsoever.

  17. Re:This is cool, but on Amherst Researchers Create Magnetic Monopoles · · Score: 2

    false, there is no magnetic field from a source point, a compass wouldn't point at what they've created.

    these are not magnetic monopoles at all, in no sense of the word.

    magnetic monopoles do not exist, there are no evidence they exist after decades of looking.

  18. Re:"but the full paper is paywalled" on Amherst Researchers Create Magnetic Monopoles · · Score: 1

    QED, not maxwells equations and yes part of my degree was the CMP. Anyway, the the subject of these articles are not monopoles at all, no magnetic field at all in fact, an imaginary compass wouldn't point toward them.

    There is not one shred of evidence that magnetic monopoles exist. These researchers have not made a magnetic monopole.

  19. Re:This is cool, but on Amherst Researchers Create Magnetic Monopoles · · Score: 3, Informative

    no, these are not monopoles at all, hence the word "synthetic" in front.

    there is no evidence whatsoever that monopoles exist, not for the last 70+ years of searching.

    No, thick walls not enough to deal with cosmic rays, in fact it makes things worse because of secondary particle emissions, a two-or-three for one kind of deal

  22. slashdotted of course. two cases on Historical Carbon Emissions From Dragons In Middle Earth · · Score: 1

    You are confused, there is no notion of the USA's gathering intelligence to avoid terrorist attacks or wars.

    The federal government were watching the attackers of 9/11 to see what they would do. well, we saw what they did.

    The federal government used "intelligence" to justity a pointless invasion of Iraq (as aside note we supported Saddam and gave him money and dual use technnology to build the WMD he used to gas Iranians and Kurds)

    The CIA is using "intelligence" to protect their narcotics cash crops in Afghanistan, bombing competitors and protecting chosen drug lords.

    The federal government currently has FBI and DHS finding low IQ morons, losers with no ability to do anything, courting them for weeks while filling their heads with violent thoughts and ideas and then providing them with fake bombs. And then swooping in for arrests and headlines and congratulations all around for yet another blow in the "war on terror".

    This is the type of "intelligence" you are claiming is necessary? fuck you and all other shills for the US's corporate fascist government.
