Can someone explain what it is about two feet of lead that stops radiation better than a single sheet of carbon nanotubes?
Obviously, one would need a way to manufacture such a sheet, but my point is, is a thin, light, radiation impermeable material technically conceivable? What are the issues?
The moderation of Slashdot has gotten too politicized. Expressing a negative opinion about some tech sacred cow is automatically a "troll".
I could give a shit whether people agree or not that Andreessen is a bland, sickening, corporate toad. It's an opinion. I'm not looking to start some pointless flame war. Why does my opinion have to be hidden in the basement?
There is way too much ass-kissing of anyone associated with commercial open source companies, it smacks of bad faith; economic self-interest masquerading as editorial control. If I want biased, economically-motivated coverage I'll read the Wall Street Journal thanks.
Why is it that every time this guys opens his mouth he takes a giant shit in my ear? Really, my gorge rises whenever I read a word he says.
He comes across as such a smug, egotistical phony. I can only surmise that's exactly what he is.
He's the perfect face of Silicon Valley 2003: a pudgy corporate management toad with a deluded sense of his own talent and importance musing impassively in the midst of the economic and toxic wreckage that surrounds him. Somebody GeT mE a buckET!!!
