  1. Re:Mr Rubik on Algorithm Solves Rubik's Cubes of Any Size · · Score: 1

    I have been to quite a few parties with no intoxicating substances present over the years, some were even geared for certain hobbies and interests as high energy physics, various open source OS and wares, sports such as canoeing, a certain musical genre and many others. "To party" doesn't necessary mean to get inebriated with frat boys possessing IQs below the range considered "dull normal".

    or more to the point, creativity in creating a system of brainwashing for profit and power that went on to maim, murder, molest tens of millions over the centuries. I'd say Hitler would be proud, but then he also was devout member.

    that's the european usage, the New World uses the term as a slang word in a less precise manner in different regions to mean variously, vultures; chicken hawks (a colloquialism for Cooper's Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk or Red-tailed Hawk; or Peregrine Falcon (Duck Hawk).

    I found the picture in your link offensive. I have some complaints.

    1. I've stared but can't see any nipple, perhaps it's a resolution thing or maybe even the original altered. A breast shown without a nipple and areola is like a sundae glass filled only with whipped cream and no fruit or ice cream.

    2. The vulva is covered, and moreover looks to be shaven. A fully nude shot but without genitalia is like removing even the whipped cream from the glass in my point #1. Also, I like some bush, neatly trimmed, please. A little bush showing from behind that magnificent leg would have been heavenly.

    fifty years, eh? that's nice, but as former employee of government owned facility, I can assure you that funding for projects is usually given to those that will finish before the funders and fundees are of retirement age or pushing up the daisies.

  8. Re:When in doubt... on Microsoft Says Reinstall Overkill In Removing Rootkit · · Score: 1

    A computer geek can keep his Windows clean, but I've seen for the average user it's too much to expect, they need an OS that can take care of itself. One click on some social-engineered trick is all it takes to ruin everything. My two windows XP (one a vm and one a laptop partition) are fine for over 7 years, but others in my family....well, I just put one on Xubuntu because too many of my hours wasted de-lousing their laptop, they weren't doing anything that required Windows. They're thrilled the machine is so much faster a getting any particular job done.

    no way, $50 can buy a lot of groceries for the careful shopper. I use disks until they die (and no, I don't don't lose any data)

    well isn't that special, the 3.x add-ons that don't work anymore get joined by more 4.x addons that also won't work anymore. but no worries, they sent the authors an e-mail. problem solved. let's fix world hunger by sending an email too while we're at it.

    nuke is far cheaper than oil counting the world-policing costs and subsidies to big oil

    imagined costs for long term storage is a non-issue, spent fuel is a goldmine of untapped energy. It can be bred and burned and the result is short-lived radioisotopes.

    nothing wrong with changing gradually and getting feedback. But this failing or failed projects I mention are from running off and working in a vacuum, ignoring users.

    I thought "the cloud" was the very worst piece of meaningless IT techno-babble marketing spew, even worse than "web 2.0", until Steve Jobs said iCloud.

    that's about the feeling I got with their "300 watts" nonsense, an amount of boron will give an amount of energy. Han Solo type bragging with nonsense units. Power would only be known after knowing at time interval.

    Seems to be a problem with many big successful projects becoming disconnected from the user. We have Ubuntucide in progress (or is it Canonicalcide?), OpenOfficecide, and it might be worth noting slashdot's godawful web-2.0 UI is attempted slashdot-a-cide.

    What was done to those Jews was atrocious. However, condemning the rank and file of the Reichsbahn railway employees does nothing, they were just trying to make ends meet like everybody else, and in general they too loathed what they had to do as a part of their job moving human cargo for the Third Riech.
