Pirate Bay Now Let[sic] you stream...[deranged insults over perfectly good English]
"Organization do" (singular) is proper British usage and is dominant in most English speaking locales. "Organization does" (singular) is Americanized pidgin. Get some elementary knowledge, stop the uninformed insults, and lose the provincial attitude. It's a big world and it does not rotate around the United States. Less and less every year does it do so.
I just waded through this whole mess of comments. 99.9% of them are stupid ideas. By far the most important way to KEEP slashdot good is DON'T FUCK WITH IT. It doesn't NEED "fixing", and these ideas would ruin it.
I don't think it is; no more than the general population. A certain proportion is brainwashed, on more than one side, and their foaming at the mouth baffles and troubles normal, thinking people.
Is that the one where you import millions of Muslims and destroy your society?
Yeah, pretty much the model of all the western democracies. The suicide model. They are all going down the toilet, every one of them, led by the US, Britain, France, and Germany.
On the contrary, this is probably the best way to make windmills bird-safe. The bigger the blades, the slower they'll move.
The RPM will be slower, but I very much doubt the tip speed will be substantially slower. I'm pretty sure the design tip speed is fundamentally a certain percentage of the wind speed, independent of the design disk diameter. That's certainly the way propellers work.
It's the tip speed that kills. As a matter of fact, larger blades are probably harder to avoid, because as they rotate they are coming from farther away.
Spoken like a true cheese-eating surrender monkey.
Jackass. Wild guess, but just in case you're USAian (I am), FYI there wouldn't be a USA if France (also Spain and the Netherlands) 240 years ago hadn't intervened in the struggle. Key material and funding and morale support was provided from the beginning. Lafayette arrived in 1777 and stood with Washington through the critical Valley Forge ordeal. In 1778 France entered into an outright alliance.
The USA suffered 6824 battle deaths during the Revolution; the French, 10,000.
France lost 1,150,000 sons in battle in WW1. Together with Russia (1,800,000) they bore the brunt of the fighting. The entire British Empire lost 734,000. The USA? 53,000 - about (but not quite) the same figure as Canada, and almost exactly the same number as Australia.
In one and one half months of fighting in the Battle of France in WW2, the French suffered 360,000 casualties. Compare to 1.1 million military casualties by the US (four times the population of France) in three and one half years of fighting.
Now, terrible blunders were committed during the Battle of France (by Britain as well as France). Together they matched the German forces numerically, with almost twice the artillery and almost 50% more tanks, and they were decisively beaten with tactics, strategy, fighting proficiency, and superior air power. Britain was able to withdraw to an unassailable island. France was not.
But the French Resistance strove bravely and effectively for four years, and the Free French forces withdrawn to Britain fought on.
The story is about NY and CA. You don't get more Democrat than that.
Yes you do. Massachusetts is WAY more Democrat than either.
The California state senate is currently 26 D and 14 R, and the assembly is 52 D and 28 R. The New York state senate is 29 D and 31 R, and the assembly is 104 D and 49 R.
The Massachusetts state senate is currently 34 D and 6 R, and the house is 125 D and 35 R. It's been completely farcical for a long time. And what that doesn't even tell you is that the R's are completely whipped. They never even make a peep. About anything. in fact almost every one of them is liberal. It doesn't get much more blatantly sold-out one-party rule than Massachusetts.
Any other complete misconceptions I can help you with?
Now he's got throughput he can't actually use, but is missing critical functionality like wireless support.
Don't be obtuse, anonymous idiot. Wireless has absolutely nothing to do with routing. Nada. Make each piece do one job well. Limit single points of failure to taking out one function only. The cable modem, router, and wireless access point should each be completely independent items.
The superbly talented and meticulous Alan Rickman could play any part, from Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility to Marvin in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to Steven Spurrier in Bottle Shock - and a myriad others. I can think of a few other actors with similar versatility, but most of them are either dead or of very advanced age.
I see a coming resurgence in 100% analog appliances
Not with thermostats. Those have gone digital and programmable for many years.
Oh, bullshit and hogwash. My home runs with two completely passive mercury-switch thermostats. I resisted the moronic fury to replace everything containing mercury. These have never hiccuped once in the 45 years I've been here. There isn't a single thing "programmable" about them, except that you "program" the desired temperature by rotating a mechanical wheel. And there are certainly no batteries involved. That would be the height of stupidity.
I also use a mercury oral thermometer, and 63-37 tin-lead solder.
When I recently encountered a person who thought it was normal to have to reboot their light switches (some brand of automated switch) I finally realized that what old people say is true: sometimes the old way of doing things is better.
Hear, hear. Billowing, rickety complexity and interdependence for its own sake leads to only one logical conclusion. This was all foreseen in 1909 by E. M. Forster in The Machine Stops.
No, just bits of synthetic rubber and screw down on them really tight. If the pressure difference isn't huge between external and internal it's not very hard.
If you knew anything whatsoever about helium permeation, you would know what a preposterous statement you made.
It's the difference in PARTIAL pressure that matters. There is almost certainly one atmosphere of helium on the inside vs zero on the outside. About the same as a rubber circus balloon. You know, the kind that lose all their lift in a day or two. Rubber is about the most laughably ineffective helium barrier there is.
There's one thing about systemd that I don't understand: If it is terrible (and I have no doubt that it is, from its philosophy to its implementation), why have almost all of the major Linux distributions moved to it?
Seriously? People are stupid and compliant. Look at the incompetent boob occupying the white hut for the last 7 years. That was by popular vote - twice. And before anyone jumps down my throat, look at the last 27 years of boobs that were installed as president.
I think "free range" is being used in a satirical sense. It comforts me to believe no one could be so thoroughly owned as to use it in this context straight-up seriously. People tell me I have unrealistic faith in humanity.
A runaway LiIon is not just a "fire". There can be violent outgassing and blowtorching. If you try to hermetically close the ammo box while charging, it could easily be blown apart and imitate a grenade. If you DON'T seal it, the gas and flames could be voluminously emitted from the container.
I would think a fireplace would be far safer. If you don't have one, mabe you could stack a labyrinth of firebricks on a big metal base. If the weather is nice and you have a sandy or gravelly or paved driveway with plenty of room, the center of that should be pretty safe. I use the inside of an oven which is otherwise unused, but most will not have the luxury of such a resource.
Was it also impossible for the US to produce 124,000 warships during WWII?
An instant's thought shows that a figure of 124,000 warships (a ship is 1000+ tons) is insane. The US Navy peak strength in 1945 was 6768 ships, so in your fantasy we must have lost 117,232 ships. Obviously this did not happen, or our entire manpower resources would have been exhausted.
That is the figure for ALL "ships", not just warships. And it falsely includes bullshit small craft like 82,000 Higgins landing craft as "ships". Over 5000 more were merchant ships. The true figure for production of actual ships for the US Navy in WW2 is 6771

You are both ignorant. It is perfectly proper British English.
"Organization do" (singular) is proper British usage and is dominant in most English speaking locales. "Organization does" (singular) is Americanized pidgin. Get some elementary knowledge, stop the uninformed insults, and lose the provincial attitude. It's a big world and it does not rotate around the United States. Less and less every year does it do so.
Is the battery user replaceable? Unless it is, I have ZERO interest. That goes for any tablet or phone.

"Underrated" is just a synonym for "insightful". It's silly to have both, let alone add another one to serve the same purpose.
What happens to RHEL6?
I don't think it is; no more than the general population. A certain proportion is brainwashed, on more than one side, and their foaming at the mouth baffles and troubles normal, thinking people.

Those for whom Sense and Sensibility does not spring to mind first are truly shallow.
