  1. Re:Labview on Ask Slashdot: Why Are We Still Writing Text-Based Code? · · Score: 1

    I agree. I think the point is to make a lot of different, small, custom modules, and document them properly.

  2. Re:Lego Mindstorms on Ask Slashdot: Why Are We Still Writing Text-Based Code? · · Score: 1

    The Mindstorms way is probably well-suited to the target audience, especially if a text-based solution is also available (unfortunately, EV3 has no easy way of programming using text yet). In the end, I prefer to write someone an e-mail instead of giving them a rebus.

  3. Re:This guy is an idiot on 30 Days Is Too Long: Animated Rant About Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Much like installing Chrome, right?

  4. Re:metro UI switcher and Classic shell on 30 Days Is Too Long: Animated Rant About Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Slashdot's mobile interface makes the title really small. That makes understanding these comments sort of difficult.

  5. Re:Weak bus? Also, "cost effective", not "moral" on How Do We Program Moral Machines? · · Score: 1

    This would be a great Philip K. Dick story.

    In the birthday problem, you are not matching your birthday to the birthdays of the people present. It's the probability that in a set of n randomly chosen people, some pair of them will have the same birthday. See wikipedia.

    Perhaps I'm not getting what you're saying. Because you say "YOUR", and I'm not sure if you actually mean me.

  7. Re:Interesting on Dutch Cold Case Murder Solved After 8000 People Gave Their DNA · · Score: 1

    I don't think you do. One of the sets is fixed, because it was found on (in) the victim's body. The bday paradox occurs because you match everything to everything else, inflating the probability of a match.

    There is no jury in a Dutch court. The judges decide.

  9. Re:Well you know... on How Big Pharma Hooked America On Legal Heroin · · Score: 1

    I appreciate this perspective a lot, especially the first part. My problem with the second part is that you are arguably not a free person anymore if you're addicted. You're still being abused by some producer/seller. This is where freedom is impaired in quite a subtle way. It happens continuously, of course, and is a slippery slope. For example, my own limit in freedom of choice lies somewhere between THC and cocaine. This opinion is formed by my culture, as the former is considered a "soft" drug and the latter a "hard" drug. Incidentally, my culture is another one of those subtle impairments of my freedom.

  10. Re:Firefox on Linus Torvalds Says Linux 4.0 Could Be Out In Three Years · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Your mistake is linear extrapolation. Firefox' versioning seems to be exponential.

    That's how I calculated it, so I'm not sure what Google does.

    then couldn't you subsidize the food? if that were the real problem?

  13. Re:Got this wrong.. on White House Finalizes 54.5 MPG Fuel Efficiency Standard · · Score: 1

    my car, a peugeot 508sw does about 54mpg. By European standards, it's not a small car at all.

  14. Re:HTML text editing in cells on Calligra 2.5 Office and Creativity Suite Released · · Score: 1

    Possibly he meant to export the HTML-tags in the CSV, but slashdot parsed the tags to what we see.

    The galaxy tabs don't have home buttons.

    Often, they buy small companies after the drug's been proven effective. The smaller companies can't afford large saftey studies, manufacturing and marketing. Many small companies take the risks.

  24. Re:Users disagree with him on The Condescending UI · · Score: 1

    This doesn't work like that for me. A hidden ribbon should project over your document, nothing scrolling. Then it should disappear after you select a function. Something is wrong with your install. Or with the way I interpret your comment.

    iPhone fragmentation is becoming a real problem.
