  1. Re:definition of terms first on Are Silicon Valley Workers Abandoning Libertarianism For Socialism? (salon.com) · · Score: 2

    There is a whole science field about that: Political Science.
    Just look for any handbook about political ideologies. You may also want to have a look at Giovanni Sartori's work on conceptualization.

  2. Re:Oh noes, white power! on YouTube Executives Ignored Warnings, Letting Toxic Videos Run Rampant (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    my 4 year old was watching an age-appropriate channel

    So, you let an algorithm do the parenting for you? That's what i call real faith in technology!

  3. Google is just too big. on Google Employees Protest Secret Work On Censored Search Engine For China (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Google became so big in so many ways that it has it's own social movements now. What's next? Parties? A parliament? A revolution?

  4. Re:sheesh, the paranoia is strong with this one on Ask Slashdot: Should We Worry Microsoft Will 'Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish' Linux? (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    It seems people are incapable of being objective when it comes to Microsoft.

    I wonder why...

    and certainly unneeded to generate wealth.

    ...but certainly needed to consume wealth.

    And that's a joke showing the difference between science and religion.

  7. Re:Losing Your Computer on The Crazy-Tiny Next Generation of Computers · · Score: 1

    No, you just need a networked vacuum cleaner and then you can still access the computer remotely on your own personal cloud...

    ... of dust.

  8. Last time... on Do Embedded Systems Need a Time To Die? · · Score: 1

    Last time somebody tried to implement scheduled end-of-life on man-made devices, people died!

    > A few years ago, that little book was about $4. Worth its weight in gold.

    Wow. What kind of exotic material is made of to be so light?

  12. Re:Gmail's SPAM filter updates/adapts fast! on New York Times Hacked? · · Score: 1

    I think that this is biggest news than the article itself. As a sysadmin, i consider the inbox of the mail server write-only. Altering the inbox in any other way except dropping messages in it, should be only done by the user or with the user's consent.

  13. Re:most IT job needs apprenticeships not degrees on British CS Majors Doing Badly In the Jobs Market · · Score: 1

    Also what does art history and music filler classes help you to be a better IT guy, plumber or electrician?

    Since when is Europe a country?

  17. Re:Shifting Focus... on Mercedes To Phase Out Gasoline By 2015 · · Score: 1

    Not exactly. If tomorrow an efficient fusion reactor (which is really clean) is build, we will not have a way to use this energy for transportation. But if we start using efficient electric or fuel cell cars, by the time the fusion reactor starts producing energy, we will not have to change anything - electricity is the same no matter how it is produced.

    Not to mention other (existing) sources of electricity. Wind, solar, hydroelectric, tide or wave generators already exist and become better and better each year. If there is a rising need for electricity used in transportation, we can hope that alternative electricity sources will evolve much faster.

    The only thing that must be done for the above to become a reality instead of been a utopia, is to not let irrational paranoid financial criteria be applied by greedy conservative petroleum multimillionaires, but instead use simple ecological logic and facts when making political decisions...

  18. Re:A serious "Goodbye" on Bill Gates's Last Speech · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think Bill Gates is a brilliant man. I agree. That's why it is even more sad how he ended up...

  20. Re:Something I Keep Thinking About on Silicon Circuits That Bend and Stretch · · Score: 1

    But what it'll more likely be is advertising everywhere you look. Like Minority Report, but much more so. With low power displays and cheaply printed electronics - it'll be a quite different world. ... full of mentally ill people. Information overload anyone?
  21. Ecological fallacy on Scientists' Success Or Failure Correlated With Beer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is called ecological fallacy.
