  1. Even the Slashdotters changed their attitude on Bradley Manning (WikiLeaks Source) Given Hearing After 2 Years In Jail · · Score: 1

    A non-American here.

    I've been following the discussions about Bradley Manning on Slashdot very closely. I see that, as time passes by, the American Slashdotters become more and more convinced that he is guilty and should be convicted. That he acted both illegally and wrongly.

    OK, let's assume that he is guilty (both legally and morally).What should he have done? Shut his mouth like the rest of the sissies in the US military? But this is forbidden by the US constitution. Many of you say that there are proper channels and he should have used them. Why? How many war attrocities have emerged through these channels (because now we know that they exist)?

    What if Bradley Manning hasn't chosen to act in this illegal manner? Well... nobody would knew about the attrocities executed on behalf of the American population. And their (your) conscience would be clean...

    Um, yeah, he would ship a phone that drops calls...

    > I haven't seen any clear way to calculate say an integral using something like c++ or c#.

    You need a course on Numerical methods for that.

  6. Is this the beginning of the end for Android? on Sale of Galaxy Nexus Banned in the US · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, but it is somewhere in the middle of the end of the USA as a technological leader.

  7. Re:Not Turing. von Neumann. on Honoring Alan Turing, "Father of Computer Science" · · Score: 1

    1) everything inside the machine should be binary, not decimal

    That was actually John Atanasoff's idea.

  8. Fully free? on Asus Announces x86 Transformer · · Score: 2

    I don't think so. It seems that the Microsoft tax will be mandatory. I don't mind the money wasted as much as being part of Microsoft's statistics. So I don't buy computers with Windows preinstalled.
    And the first EEE PC's were so promising...

  9. "Talking" being the keyword on Russia To Establish Bases On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Yes, you are talking.

  10. Re:Flood the market on Software Patents Good For Open Source? · · Score: 1

    I turns out that Slashdot does not support the Cyrillic language anyway.

  11. Does not corellate with my eyes on Russian Satellite Takes Most Detailed 121-Megapixel Image of Earth Yet · · Score: 1

    According to the picture, everything around me (South-Eastern Europe) should be orange! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqwJvPSiL_I

  12. Re:DST on Canada To Stop Making Pennies · · Score: 1

    WWII: Actually, it was the tank again. T-34, to be more precise.

  20. Re:Don't mention the war ! on Wolfenstein Being Recalled In Germany · · Score: 1

    And the Polish word for German might well derive from something like "Don't talk to them".

    It is not only Polish, it is common to all Slavic languages. And it means "mute person". On the other hand, the word "Slav" stems from the word "word".

    If roads were being built and maintained only using money obtained as automobile- and driving-related taxes the you would be correct. However, this is usually not the case.
