  1. linux on Hard-to-Read Fonts Improve Learning · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    no wonder linux nerds learn heaps - linux fonts are the smallest worst defined fonts in the computing world.

  2. /. is almost astroturf on Linux To Take Over Microsoft In Enterprises · · Score: -1, Troll

    you pretend to be a news site when really your just a den of linux loving commies.

    your 1/2 right, while inhaling anything airborne isn't good for you, fibrous material such as crocidolite is exceptionally bad. a single large exposure won't usually result in cancer and there is always background levels of fibrous present naturally.

    I work around the stuff all the time in my profession, and i can't help but laugh as the hysteria the media beats up about it.

  4. Re:Uh on Wikileaks Donations Account Shut Down · · Score: -1
    they are UK based, why do they care about being on a US watch list? your all missing the main point there though - Assange LOVES this shit. now he gets to go on TV and claim the US government fears his awesome powers and blab about how he's the victim of some plot he invented in his own mind.

    the guy had to wait 15 minutes at Australian customs once because his passport only had 6 months left on it, and he screamed to the world that he had been "detained" and intimidated.

    the bottom line on wikileaks is that they release material when it's illegal to release it. all well and good i'm not judging whether they should or not, but are they so retarded that they think the US government won't take any action when he is violating the law in their country?

  5. Re:Now to bring them back on Mystery of the Dying Bees Solved · · Score: -1
    huh? what bullshit. bee's don't care in the slightest about monoculture, all they care about is flowers and they don't care how they get it in the slightest.

    urban area's have never had more vegetation then they do now, so that's definitely not the cause. it looks like this study shows that colonies getting both the virus and the fungus are being wiped out, so the logical solution is to find a treatment for one or the other to give the bee's a chance.

    personally i'm lucky living in australia - i have 1000's of bee's in my garden, my lavender hedge and fruit tree's buzz with them all the time.

    "The government or you have no business to make decisions regarding what I choose to put into my body or mind"

    that'd be fine if your actions while on drugs only affected yourself. fuck you could snort coke till your nose melted for all i or anyone else cares.

    it's the social problems that arise from having drug addicts roaming the streets that are the problem, not the drug itself. regardless that it doesn't fit your pro drug agenda, opiates and meth are far more habit forming and destructive then alcohol or tobacco. in their legal forms they are still strictly controlled and for good reason.

  7. Re:Beware? on Iris Scanning Set To Secure City In Mexico · · Score: -1
    1. tobacco should be banned. no arguments there.

    2. alcohol can be consumed in safe quantities. there is no safe quantity of crack you can consume.

    The idea that if these drugs were commercially produced they would be safe is bullshit, because they ARE essentially produced commercially for medical purposes and they are prescription only, so they aren't fit for recreational use no matter how you cut it.

    I stop by out of morbid curiosity, slashdot doesn't disappoint.

    once the retarded editors run a story about how redundant all their stories are, it'll create an infinite loop and put a rip in the space time continuum

    it's a tool with only one use - copyright violation. unlike a car which has many uses, the master key to all blue ray discs only has a single use.

    doesn't DRM suck? yes. but let's not lie to ourselves about what is going on, it's not going to help fix copyright.

  10. Re:Sometimes free markets are a real bitch on GE Closes Last US Light Bulb Factory · · Score: -1
    gah, thats such a typical brain dead response.

    the idea with free markets is that everyone specializes in what they do best, so everyone wins. china's workers are glad to have an income, they don't have american workers bloated sense of entitlement, which is most of the reason your all screwed and can't find anything you can compete with the rest of the world on.

    if your attitude is typical, then the USA loses it super power status in 4...3...2....

    oooh wonderful, so we are paying 43 BILLION of tax payers money to create a private company that can rape it's cusomters without any fear of them going else where or even answering to the government??? i'm very reassured now.

  14. Re:one step closer to drive thru degrees on Harvard Ditching Final Exams? · · Score: -1, Troll
    i can vouch for the truth of this. university is nothing more then elitist snobbery at it's worst, i've worked in my field for 12 years and i've never had a single graduate come into the job with even the slightest understanding of how the real world works. all of them without exception have needed training in the basics from day one.

    in a rather cruel twist i'm finding that to progress my own career, i now have to go back to school and get the same piece of worthless paper that all those clueless graduates had, and i'm also seeing why they were so clueless - unless your planning on staying in academia, university really isn't setup to prepare anyone for the working world.

    question, if you were at the very tip of a flying wing and the plane made a turn, would your drink spill due to the angle you'd be sitting at or would the force of the turn hold the fluid in your cup? i'm guessing it'd stay in the cup if you were banking hard to the left and you were on the high side, but if they just dipped the wing it'd go flying out?
