  1. Re:i have an idea on Ask Slashdot: Teaching Chemistry To Home-Schooled Kids? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You selected classes that would not earn you the requirements to graduate then you blame the teachers?

    A high school senior should be able to take care of these kinds of things.

    Your 8 year old should either be put into another school, or taught the realities of todays school system. Your whining is not helping anything.

    Why is this rated troll?

    If he reads below grade level and none of his current teachers feel qualified to teach him, maybe he should go to school to be taught by qualified folks.

    Home schooling should not even be an option if you are not qualified to teach the subjects the child needs or cannot bring in someone else to do so.

    Which is great, if you have a license to sell goods, if zoning is not an issue, if you are willing to deal with returns and have no job.

    As long as you are ok never running the resulting binaries on non-intel hardware.

    You think their windows drivers suck?
    Check out the linux ones one time. A whole other world of suck!

    Layer 2 is switching. Layer 3 is routing.

    No matter what the marketing morons say.

  7. Re:A lot of scholarly journals are paywalled on Could Cops Use Google As Pre-Cogs? · · Score: 1

    You can learn a lot without reading scholarly journals.

    I can't afford it, nor do I have the time to do it.

  8. Re:Ban crime novels on Could Cops Use Google As Pre-Cogs? · · Score: 2

    So only medical students should be able to learn about those topics?

    What about if I just like to learn?

  9. Re:Server on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise-Grade Linux Networking Hardware? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Cisco is crazy overpriced for the throughput you get. A cheap linux server acting as a router can easily beat many cisco devices.

    Trying to compete with switches on the other hand is crazy talk.

    Just looking at the 1U box in front of me, it has 4 ports on board and you could put in two more quad port cards.

    12ports in 1U is pretty terrible.

    Building your own router that way seems fine, but switches don't really seem feasible.

    Maybe you should stop shitting in public.

    He means by professional reviewers, which just don't like these kinds of games.

    I bought Fight for the PS3 move and it is a great game that got terrible professional reviews. I am convinced this is because Fight is actual exercise.

  13. Re:After RAGE on John Carmack Is Building a Virtual Reality Headset · · Score: 1

    A fair complaint, but that is again not a gameplay or programming type problem. That is just publishers being publishers.

    What was wrong with RAGE?
    It was a dungeon crawler with a little car racing mixed in. What were you expecting?

    My galaxy nexus has much worse floating point performance than my desktop form 2002. What kind of magic version of that device do you have?

    Too bad that they have already shown their true colors by mandating that it cannot be disabled for ARM platforms. Expect that to come to the PC space sooner than later.

  19. Re:You can ask ... on Stuxnet/Flame/Duqu Uses GPL Code · · Score: 1

    Why would they care about slashdot?

    It would not be a test for the GPL at all, nor would it be a test of any other license. They would just invoke sovereign immunity and be done with it.

  20. Not gonna happen on Stuxnet/Flame/Duqu Uses GPL Code · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you are already breaking laws left and right why would you bother to acknowledge copyright?

    The people who released this have no respect for the law, and see themselves as above it they will not comply.

    Like Google sky? Oh wait that one is open source.
    Or maybe basically all the system apps, nope those are open source too.

    Basically just market, goggles and maps are closed up.

    Not every single Android app. I doubt they will open this up, but surely not every single Android app Google has made is closed.

    I see problems with them all the time. They are not as clear, they smudge terribly and are generally not much better than the glass on the phone.

    Phones these days are pretty darn scratch resistant.
