All I get for the benchmarks results are a bunch of grey boxes. I guess it doesn't matter to most of you hypocritical linux zealots who actually use windows.
Why would you think a nasty worm ought to produce spices ? All the other headlines at least made some sense. This one is truly bizarre. There's nothing about the recent worms that has anything to do with spices.
Methinks timothy hit the crack pipe a little too much today.
Mandrake is a shithole distribution. Use a real man's distro, such as RedHat. At least when you're told to RTFM you're not overwhelmed by the stench of rotting cheese, bad wine, and the body odor of an unshowered Frenchman.
What the fuck is Mt. Washington? Not even the Register( UK-centric tech rag as it is )article takes pains to explain where it's located. How does 6288 feet qualify as anything other than a small hill, let alone a mountain? I hiked Humphrey's Peak in *Arizona* last year, at 12,600 feet, and even that is not even in the top 10 mountains in the US.
My electricity costs $0.11 per kWH - this is retail. Most generators sell to distributors at only a few pennies per kWH, but let's assume 11 cents for the purpose of illustration. The average human can probably produce 100 W on a sustained basis. Minimum wage is $5.15/hr.
So you would pay $51.50 per kWH for generation, and sell it at the market rate of $0.11 ?
Unless you're Bill Gates, you will go out of business quite quickly.
That is the funniest thing I have ever read. Oh wait. Actually, nevermind. That is the most UN-funny thing I have read all week. It ranks right up there with "pick up that sandbag and bring it over here" or "I need two eggs in this recipe".
Wow. +5 Funny for saying "think about that for a second". Slashdot is certainly getting better every day.
Why are you always so fucking concerned with the humanistic social shit?
Actions matter - feelings don't. Production matters - "relationships" don't. Get over yourself you pompous twit, and quit trying to tell us how to live our lives.
What a sack of shit - and this guy earns $63k/year to push a web form button.
You do know that your cushy $63k salary that grants you the luxury of spitting on the productive members of society is provided to you specifically because of the fruits of capitalism, right ?
You're trying to have your cake and eat it, but it doesn't work that way. To more baseless drivel you spew against the very system that grants you your comfort is antithetical to its continuation.
If living in this country is such an affront to your character, why have you not moved to North Korea, where your kind of idealism is displayed in spades ?
RFID TECHNOLOGY! OH NO THE BEER GLASSES ARE GOING TO TAKE AWAY ALL OUR PRIVACY!!! OUR UNELECTED PRESIDENT WILL COLLUDE WITH HIS OIL CRONIES AND PREVENT US FROM GROWING LEGALIZED POT ON OUR HIPPY COMMUNES BY DRIVING A HORDE OF SUV'S INTO NOAM CHOMSKY!
The above has been a sample of the kind of anti-RFID vitriol Michael Sims reaction I would have expected for this article. What we got, instead, seemed to be a "wow, cool" article. with no Michael Sims anti-progress remark appended.
In other words, what we have here is hypocracy. LNUX shareholders are starving while this fuck rakes in $63,000 of their money annually. It's time to sue or lynch.
I am impressed with China. Not only have they set up a "space program" with the hidden purpose of perfecting weapons delivery systems, but they've also set up a "supercomputer program" with the hidden purpose of simulating thermonuclear explosions and enabling them to build more effective weapons.
All the while, they've managed to convince a whole gaggle of/.ers that this is all a good thing( hooray space exploration, hooray Opteron running linux ).
China, the nation whose defense minister is on the record as saying that "war with the US is inevitable", will have quite a hearty laugh when tens of millions of US citizens who appeased them die in a series of horrific nuclear attacks.
power. humans which can survive of a cup of water a day, can withstand freezing temps and dust/sand are far better than machines which cant self repair and have low power densities (i.e. you needs lots of gas to move a machine, while humans move with very little food).
Power( more correctly, energy ) density isn't the problem. Gasoline has a very high energy density compared with food. If a human burned gasoline at the same efficiency at which it burns food, it could walk 916 miles/gallon.
The issue is clearly efficiency of power supply, not energy density of the fuel.
At first I read that as "Jan Foster" - you had me worred for a moment there that grid computing was being based based upon the irrational mind of a woman.
The last thing we need is a theory of grid computing written in pink cursive with margin notes such as "OMG Dr. Pournelle was SOOOOO hottt today I almost lost it right there!! OMFG! I'm gonna go to the mall cuz like The Gap is great inspiration for cooperative agent dynamics and stuff!"
This will most likely end up with the French and Poles surrenduring immediately, and the Germans rounding up Jews to be gassed.
Due to the terribly dire economic conditions imposed by the eurocratic statist policies, the Germans couldn't afford any Zyklon-B, so they'll most likely just end up farting in the Jews faces and exposing them to French body odor.
I agree. It should not stop with slashdot readers, though. As an owner of LNUX, I believe it is in the interests of VA's shareholders to see Michael Sims as the drain on capital resources that he is. His removal would, at the very least, free up $63,000 annually for application to the book value of the stock - and at no cost to the operational capability of the slashdot unit. In fact, it would likely benefit the editorial quality of the site.
Slashdot Mirror
What is this world coming to?
I thought the slashdot editors were raving leftist watermelon lunatics who hated everything the Republican Party stands for.
Granted, this wasn't posted by michael( uber-communist )but it's still quite surprising.
So does this mean that we *don't* hate telcos this week ?
Is this also the week that eggs are bad for us ?
Between, I say!

WTF is this headline about ?

There is something inherently ironic about a technocentric website being operated and edited by a bunch of luddites.

So do you despise your country, or do you like it ?
I can't figure it out. Your stance is consistently anti-American, then you post this, riling up the anti-cencorship folks into "wow, cool" mindsets.
Make up your mind, you fucking eco-traitor.
But OS X still looks MUCH better.
Um.

Wow, a bunch of snobbish yuppies trapped in elevators. Like anybody really gives a fuck.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Get it ? "think about that for a second" !!
bwahahahahaha!

I am SO very glad to see "Ian" instead.
Because it just broke up with its crew.
is exactly how your mom likes it.
Maybe we'd start giving credence to your gripes if you stopped referring to computers as the singular noun "kit".
