  2. Re:The obligatory "Obligatory" on Spammers Announce World War III · · Score: 1

    Actually the blade and scabbard are airbrushed on some of them with art of dubious merit but they sell ok.

    Depending on how much you want to spend a sword can be anything from decorative Chinese imported stainless (no head choppy), 'machete' quality commercial carbon steel stamped (leaves a mess), formed and heat treated to hand forged ones ranging from 300 (ok but still somewhat messy) to insane (the head's eyes still roll) depending on maker and options.

    My silliness aside this URL points to a sword by a "Living Treasure" of Japan. No it's not airbrushed or photoshopped. ;) I don't sell these. :(

  3. Re:It's all a moot point anyway on Louisiana Passes Intelligent Design Law · · Score: 1

    I recently saw a bumper sticker that said "There is no bible but the King James bible."

    It cracked me up.

    I have my own take on what I.D. means:

    Inebriated Design
    Inelegant Design
    Incoherent Design
    Impotent Design
    Incomprehensible Design
    Ineluctable Design
    Intolerable Design ....

    The sad thing is I offer swords for sale that are airbrushed.

    The sadder thing is people buy them. ;)

  5. Re:Why not try it? on Surviving Outsourcing? · · Score: 1

    I agree with this but I also think you should do what you can to improve your position in the new environment. I would not recommend waiting and watching. Find out what this entails, find out who will be managing it, find out what you can do to be a more important part of it from them. Try and be a facilitator and not a mushroom nor a suck up.

    I'll avoid catering to the continuing trend of defeaturing software. Gunome melted down because of it. I hope KDE pulls it out though I can continue using 3.5 I'd prefer they don't die.

  9. You might want to start with impared vision tools. on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 1

    Lighthouse has some excellent information on color and font choices.

    http://www.lighthouse.org/accessibility/legible/

    Someone in the Slashdot community must remember a specially spread and dithered truetype font that was intended for vision impaired folk. I recall having it and trying it in the 90's but at that time didn't need it and lost track of it. It seemed to work for me when I deliberately blurred my vision with a lens. Now that I'm older I've used the above site to help with my vision degradation but if someone has a pointer to that font I'd appreciate it since color choices and glasses only go so far.

  19. Re:This isn't a bad thing.. on US Halts Applications For Solar Energy Projects · · Score: 1

    One of the government research laboratories had a method to use electricity to make a chemical.

    It could be pumped and stored. Then later the energy could be extracted. It was insanely dense and more toxic than anything but botulin toxin. But the density was several times that of gasoline.

    I can no longer find the reference to it.

    "Great, so Washington politicians living a thousand miles away who don't even speak your dialect can make decisions like this patriot act, and you have no say in it whatsoever.
