  1. sensationalist bullshit on Disease Threatens 99% of the Banana Market (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    Even the Gros Michel banana that the Panama disease attacked is still around, not "extinct" and not "wiped out" though large commercial plantations can't exist without the disease coming. There are many, many kinds of bananas, check out a large well stocked asian grocery store. Some kinds have to be cooked but there are plenty of types that can be eaten "raw" and have no seeds.

    So we'll have bananas to develop the next disease resistant type, the fruit will not disappear from earth.

    systemd doesn't work, we have the misfortune of having a few servers with that and they do weird things, like rolling back to the initial boot state on certain errors. what a bunch of garbage. professionals avoid that which doesn't work, and design and build robust systems

    I reject the notion "gun nuts" are a significant problem, other groups are doing the shootings and they are not firearms hobbyists.

    The results of our sociological experiment in the inner cities speaks for itself. Paying women to breed like maggots, with "fathers" who are mere sperm donors who do not raise the child, this is the problem. Adult babies with no responsibility, morals, or respect for life and property are the problem. Leave the gun rights of us civilized people out of it.

    The per capita gun ownership rate of my neighborhood is far,far above that of any inner city, but we have zero crime.

    gun hobbyists mostly aren't causing any problem. inner city savages (see dictionary) mostly are. do you have any critical thinking skills, or do you just spew sound bites?

    UPS at my last neighborhood would never do that, instead they'd leave things like computer systems on the sidewalk near my townhouse door. Nothing was ever stolen but jeez

  12. your last idea is ok, the first one has issues and is not good enough to be random

    really I'm amused at the bad solutions overall in reply to my post, lack of some basic understanding is rampant; this is why real random sources for Arduino cost extra money

  13. No, actually do your interrupted counter rather than imagining it. you will learn something. your pseudo-random generator is not good enough. That other poster pointing out your lack of consideration of rollover total value is just the start of your misconceptions.

  14. sad to see your horrible misconceptions about randomness. Also you ASSUMPTION that floating pin would produce truly random pattern when it may well not in a megahertz clock driven system.

    not really, the priorities are wrong. Serious list of problems to solve would go 1. thirst 2. hunger 3. sanitation then all those other nice things

  16. you're confused, the Arduino has absolutely no intrinsic capability to generate random numbers. Instead it has pseudo-random function. In fact that points out massive issue that programmers who blindly trust a "random number function" commit often in the open source world, the most used functions aren't random at all

    what's funnier is slashdotters who work in IT, who have posted in other articles about security that the main thing is employees ability to get their job done with no inconvenience, and security that causes inconvenience or makes it harder to do job is bad. They make fun of "security nuts" like the OpenBSD and related projects teams, and those that seek to tighten up Linux distros' security, for example.

    No you fucking twats, you're part of the problem. Security is painful, good security is more painful. Security is the number one issue IT faces.
