    even windows 7 has infection rate of 4 per 1,000 machines. Let's talk about using real OS instead of Bill Gate's stupid glorified program loader.

    wrong, HVDC systems can be more efficient for long distances than AC

  5. Re:Good luck on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 1

    yes, all the keywords are consonants though vowels can used as syntactic sugar. the compiler is hard working and very intelligent (except on Shabbat and certain holidays when neither it nor code will work), it always takes in all tokens ("shekels" first and always produces something useful. Run time exceptions are called an "oy vey!" which can be caught and handled by the Mother module, but it will make many GuiltyFeelings logging messages for you.

    DC is superior for efficiency and safety, you're the one full of bullshit

    what, the UK only has one party like that? Hell, we have TWO! we're fucked either way! Gawd Blezz the Yewnited Corprit Bee-Yatch States of Merica!

  8. Re:Degenerative disease is just malnutrition. on How Doctors Die · · Score: 1

    You are ridiculous, no person has ever been cured of cancer by any mineral or vitamin supplement. You've bought into snake oil cure, backed by irrelevant studies. Let me clue you in, "redifferentiation" of cultures of cancer cells has been shown with many, many things, not a single one of which cures a human of cancer. Have fun watching your friends and relatives with cancer die or be maimed, after you give them false hope while stuffing them with Schacklee or Nature's Way products.

  9. Re:Vague? on Where Would Earth-Like Planets Find Water? · · Score: 1

    Such a "fact" about future events can not be documented. Plenty of serious physicists and engineers believe such a craft within the realm of possibility, yet you offer superior proof that such a thing can't be done. Oh wait, you haven't because you can't.

  10. Re:The scary thing is on Apocalypse Tourism: Where To Celebrate Doomsday? · · Score: 1

    those 3 events were not by mainstream fundamentalists at all, but fringe group. Most fundamentalists Christians believe the end time can not be known (and would quote Matthew 24:36)

  11. Re:Already prepared on Apocalypse Tourism: Where To Celebrate Doomsday? · · Score: 1

    I'll have you know my Mayan solstice computer won't boot after that day when the CMOS clock overflows. While their civilization was collapsing they were all like "water!, water! we need water!" instead of working on a BIOS patch for my machine. lazy unfocused fuckers.

  12. Re:Degenerative disease is just malnutrition. on How Doctors Die · · Score: 1

    hahaha, spoken like a true Shacklee Vitamin shill. From the experiences of my relatives and friends who were either nutrition nuts, supplement nuts, or health food nuts, I can tell you what happens. They get weird diseases and/or die early. Ask Steve Jobs how that raw health food thing worked out. Really you should exercise like a fiend, that is more important that what you eat. my relatives who lived into their 80s to 100s worked hard or worked out.

  13. Re:The Sanctity of Life on How Doctors Die · · Score: 4, Insightful

    haha, I can tell you that statistically the manner of your death will be that you won't have either the energy or you won't have the time to do any kicking and screaming. There will be no bionic help for you, either. You'll just die, badly. Have a miserable time dying, like the rest of us.

    actually, most of the time Fink wares install with no effort at all, 10% of the time there is a solution from forum needed, and 5% of the time some more advanced knowledge. You've just confirmed you are a lazy git and a whiner.

    strange, I don't have such problems, but then I understand the major data passing mechanisms of OSX and of the GNU software I add. We're not talking about something that is for most users, we're into the realm of systems admin and in some cases developer-level understanding.

  22. Re:Easy and Advanced on The Condescending UI · · Score: 2

    experienced users know when a UI wastes screen real estate, requires more keystrokes and clicks for common operations, is too brittle to alow them to put desired shortcuts into panels, and forces an unnatural and incorrect idea of workflow on them. This is the problem with GNOME 3 and Unity.

    Furthermore, it is easy to spot the immature users who value eye-candy and appearance over the etting work done, those are the ones who think the microsoft ribbon is good, or that unity or GNOME 3 are.

    The desktop UI is taking major steps backward, we're losing efficiency and features just to have "something different'

  24. Re:Surprise? on Quantum Coherence Found Fueling Photosynthesis · · Score: 1

    fire is light and heat released by chemical reactions, which always involves changes in electron orbitals. Gravity might not be subject to quantization, neither might time. An experiment looking at phase relationships in photons from distant galaxy was made to look for quantization of time (Planck time unit), but none such was found (so inconclusive, maybe it's really small!)

  25. Re:Photons are not quantized! on Quantum Coherence Found Fueling Photosynthesis · · Score: 1

    I did not invoke Planck's constant. A photon must be discrete, in the two slit experiment a photon can only interfere with itself, no two or more photons ever interfere.
