  1. So... PCP is the future? on Intel Wants PCs To Be More Than Just 'Personal Computers' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Well done research on the acronym

  2. Re:Yes I updated on Slashdot Asks: Have You Switched To Firefox 57? · · Score: 1

    Is it possible to put the tree-style tabs on top (in place of the native tabs)?

  3. Depends on how you count the forces on There May Be A Fifth Force of Nature, Study Suggests (space.com) · · Score: 1

    My teacher said gravity isn't a force, it's "just" geometry. Electromagnetic and weak is the after certain energy levels. On the other hand we used to count magnetic and electric forces as related but separate.

  4. Re:Yeah... on KDE Plasma 5.5 Has Matured Past the Point of Plasma 4 (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    The feature existed in 4.x, the developers decided to toss it, knowing full well - I hope at least - that qt has nothing comparable. So what you (and they) say is technically true, only bullshit. For me, it is preferable to have a feature implemented (not ideally in KDE) to not implemented (ideally in QT).

  5. Re:Yeah... on KDE Plasma 5.5 Has Matured Past the Point of Plasma 4 (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, you seem to lose the ability to change on the fly: the change applies only when you re-login, which is mind-blowing in 2016, for me, the whole point of KLocale was that it worked around the UNIX's environment variable problem.

  6. Yeah... on KDE Plasma 5.5 Has Matured Past the Point of Plasma 4 (phoronix.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    No

  7. Unstable on Astronomers Search For Dyson Spheres of Alien Civilizations · · Score: 1

    When I was a physics student, we had a joke about this:
    - How do recognise a Dyson Sphere?
    - It has a star-sized hole on the side.

  8. Re:I am, but on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't You Running KDE? · · Score: 1

    Resolved, as wontfix :(
    The problem is in QT, so it prevents the desktop-icon filemanagement from working too.

  9. I am, but on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't You Running KDE? · · Score: 1

    for example, this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165044
    keeps my wife off.

  10. Re:Bring back CmdrTaco on KDE 3.5 Fork Trinity Releases First Major Update · · Score: 1

    well...
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277010
    (granted, after mere 3 month and a huge flamewar, we got a status update!)

  11. Re:Paul Erdos on Yahoo, Facebook Test "Six Degrees of Separation" · · Score: 1

    Smallest. Shame on you for this!

  12. great on Hungary Uses iPad To Draft New Constitution · · Score: 1

    Thats adding insult to injury.

  13. Re:This is... on Research Suggests E-Readers Are "Too Easy" To Read · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think it's cool, if I read physics text, it feels like Stephen Hawking is giving me a lecture.

  14. cringley explains on Bufferbloat — the Submarine That's Sinking the Net · · Score: 4, Interesting
  15. Re:Goes both ways... on Greed, Zealotry, and the Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    yeah. never understood the stuck-up c64 lovers, Spectrum all the way!

  16. Re:Really! on BSG Prequel Series Caprica Canceled · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Cylons are the niggers of the future!

    (spoiler)
    past

  17. Re:"Man Hours of Innovation"? Ha. on Ballmer Says Microsoft Wasted Time On Vista · · Score: 1

    Actually, admitting that of the millions of hours killed into creating Vista only a couple of thousands was "innovation" seems quite right :)

  18. Re:Something funny about all this on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    I still think it was a joke. Mark my words :)

  19. Too bad not Trinity on Latvian "Robin Hood" Hacker Leaks Bank Details · · Score: 1

    Cracking the IRS d-base :)

  20. Why is rendering clouds so important? on NVIDIA Targeting Real-Time Cloud Rendering · · Score: 0

    oh, wait...

  21. Re:Batman and Porky Pig on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    It's a question of taste and the kind of the sense of humor you have. I guess it can be tiresome if it's not your think. One of my favorite clip is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JJcJIiQq2A

  22. Re:Batman and Porky Pig on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    Good point :)

  23. Re:That's a bit harsh... on Military Helmet Design Contributes To Brain Damage · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's 'causing' the brain damage in a way that it prevents the solder from dying and thus hiding the symptoms of the brain damage :)

  24. Re:Batman and Porky Pig on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'll take Porky, Bugs Bunny and especially Animaniacs over anything from Disney thanks all the same.

  25. Re:Quantum CPU extensions? on Making Cesium Atoms Do a Quantum Walk · · Score: 1

    No. Quantum or not, the sum of the probabilities of all possibilities still 1.
