  1. Re:KillerFS on Reiser4 File System Still In Development · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Reiser would be a great option as well

    YMMV. Moved away from ReiserFS even before murder. Too many random FS corruptions on workstations needed admin intervention to boot.

  2. Re:Hydrogen? on Felix Baumgartner's Supersonic Skydive Attempt · · Score: 1

    I used to do that twice a day.

    Did you do that with miniature people attached to those balloons? Did you have RedBull marketing department on your back?

    Hydrogen has been largely discredited as the root cause of the Hindenberg disaster

    Hydrogen did not cause those sparks, but it burned damn well.

    If you don't pay taxes you shouldn't get anything.

    What is wrong with a little heavy clothing? Don't you want to save the environment?

    Save environment as long as it does not come at the cost of people's health. I am not Eskimo and I don't have habit of wearing furs and mittens in living room. Services are required to maintain 18C/65F during winter season in my country. 55F is about 12C. More than five degrees Celsius below norm and I would notice it at 17.5 degree.

    Do you know the difference between 55F and 65F? Those ten degrees ensure that you can sustain normal body temperature without heavy clothing inside your home.

    It's 2012 - most phones can connect to a mail server over 2G, 3G or wifi.

    It is 2012 - landline phones don't know what 2G or wifi is.

    You just have to make sure that your pool audience is not biased. As in "does not have alternative OS or prior Windows version" experience.

  12. Re:What for? on Japanese Scientists Produce Element 113 · · Score: 1

    What are some uses of the super-heavy elements?

    You can do anything you like with them until they decay to less heavy elements. Just get so coffee to speed things up a little bit and protection from radiation to see next sunset.

  13. Re:Lack of tolerance to other religions on Man Arrested In Greece For "Blasphemous" Facebook Page · · Score: 1

    I have a religious belief that free speech is sacred, and any restriction on that speech is disrespectful to my religion.

    First amendment applies both to speech and religion. You have the right to speak freely. Others have the right to practice their beliefs without being attacked for that.

    And it should be legal.

    Lets also legalize naked pictures of your family and make it legal to mock you in front of your kids without the right to retaliate.

    Slashdot as ad space for tech audience. If site maintenance costs are not covered by ad revenue, nothing stops them from closing the site and getting profits by selling hardware assets.

    If only SSD reads are compared with HDD reads and used to emphasize SSD benefits, comparison is already biased. SSD weaker part is not in reading. It is writing and capacity/price ratio.

    The way the system is set up that would also require reimaging, (no executable that are not part of original image can be run on the laptops - IE plugins run installers which are executables)

    Then it is not the problem as such system is designed be reimaged every month after MS releases their patches. One day they just reimage it to Win7 or newer MS flick.
