    punctuation has meaning to google, read their manual. the minus sign is one way to avoid the problems of this article and force google to toss out the rubbish

  2. Re:Once a government has your money, no give backs on Shuttleworth Loses $20m Battle With S. African Reserve Bank Over Expatriated Funds · · Score: 1

    that's overpayment of taxes. in other words, the government helped itself to your money that it had to right to have, and had use of it without interest. In your bizarro world a government that does such things is not a thieving grubbing evil entity.

  4. Re:NO, NO, NO, NO, this is a BAD idea on Should Nuclear Devices Be Kept On Hand To Protect Against Near Earth Objects? · · Score: 1

    Wow, you really spew a lot of things without knowledge of the subject:

    1. Wrong, effective thrust producers in space when used as surface or subsurface boost.
    2. nuclear weapons in space have already existed. insanity not a valid point to raise as the weapons themselves sufficient to destroy civilization many times over exist (though not enough to kill all humans, contrary to popular belief) and are under the control of POLITICIANS. Logic and sanity are left at the door.
    3 nuclear weapons launched by rocket can withstand falling and impact into ground without detonation or material leak, already solved problem
    4 - no, they are quite robust and many models designed to withstand thousands of g-force. bunker busting ones over 100,000 g's. Rad hardened electronics for space is a long solved problem.
    5. - long solved problem, nuclear weapons have been stored in space in the past
    #6 we face each and every day. Ground bursts of existing nuclear devices would be a huge problem.

  9. wrong "obvious" solution on Ask Slashdot: A Development Environment Still Usable In 25 Years Time? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    layers of complexity only increase the number of things you assume about the future.

    Instead use a common realtime OS and chipset. Those already have a track record of decades of support.

    Failing that the second best solution would be embedded java app.

  10. Re:IBM or VMs on Ask Slashdot: A Development Environment Still Usable In 25 Years Time? · · Score: 2

    mainframe code for embedded system??! you win the unnecessary complexity award along with the OpenVMS guy. And yes I've done development and sysadmin on both.

    big buildings have zones, ventilation intakes and exhausts and mixing chambers, filters, humidification, perhaps chilled water plant, etc.

    you're going to need a lot of thermostats and alot of other sensors and controls.
