  1. Units conversion on World's Servers Process 9.57ZB of Data a Year · · Score: 1

    Thank goodness they present the quantity in terms of an intergalactic stack of books.

  2. Easy Answer on Go For a Masters, Or Not? · · Score: 1

    Pragmatic answer: check the pay scales for MS vs BS. Also amortize the two years lost salary while still in school. Emotional answer: consider the source. Slashdot responses will be evenly split. Those who have Master's will endorse it. Those who stopped at BS will poo poo it. Fatherly Advice: make sure you like school and remember that grad school is a different world. It's more research-oriented than undergrad studies.

  3. Re:when does a stone become an axe on Stone Tool 1.83M Years Old Discovered In Malaysia · · Score: 1

    So we can tell that the tools have some evidence of intelligent design; but DNA, that's random. Hmmmmmmm...

  4. Millions? on What's Hidden Under Greenland's Ice? · · Score: 1

    Since we 'know' the ice has been there for millions of years, then we must also 'know' what's under it.

  5. Re:Global Warming! on Failing Ocean Current Raises Fears of Mini Ice Age · · Score: 1

    "We have certainly proven that we can very effectively destroy the ozone with just a little CFCs" Who's we? You got a mouse in your pocket? The ozone 'holes' grow and shrink all the time, but grant-lusting scientists only point to the data that matches their theorems. We need to kill all the methane producing cows and plug the volcanos that spew particulates into the atmosphere. I'll do my part by driving my SUV to Wendy's and enjoying a triple with cheese.

  6. Geeks are myopic about this on Humanity Responsible For Current Climate Change · · Score: 1

    It's not about SUVs. That's too easy. If you're jealous that your neighbors can afford extravagent vehicles and you can't, just admit it. It takes a big geek to recognize his shortcomings. Cars don't emit methane. Cows do. It is imperative that we stop driving cows.

  7. Feel free to pay $6 for gas. on Humanity Responsible For Current Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Hey , that's great. You go ahead and pay $6 for gas. Everytime you fill up, whip out your Blackberry and calculate the difference. Send it to Uncle Sam. Voluntarilly. Be a shining example for us tree-haters. Pay 'til it hurts.

  8. Do the math on Blog Software Smackdown · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "With published numbers saying there are approximately 70,000 new blogs being created each day, and the total number of blogs doubling every 5 months" The math desn't work.

  9. Re:The essentials of desktop repair on What's On Your Tech Bench? · · Score: 1

    How do you get parts onto the grounding pad if you don't wear a strap?

  10. Don't devalue yourself on How to Leave a Job on Good Terms? · · Score: 1

    You devalue yourself if you react to his behavior. You know what's right and wrong, don't use his unprofessional actions to justify what you choose to do.
