  1. Re:why no longer afraid of Linux? on Why Was Linux the Kernel That Succeeded? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    HP and IBM acceptance and putting hundreds of millions into Linux R&D research so it could run on their x86-64 servers, midrange (e.g. ibm power systems and HP integrity mid range) and big iron (ibm mainframe and HP superdome)

  2. Author makes ignorant statement on Why Was Linux the Kernel That Succeeded? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    BSD did not in any sense fail or fizzle, it is ubiquitous in printers, network gear and other appliances. Funny Apple could take the Mach that GNU HURD mishandled and make a working core for their BSD variant. Stallman really does suck at leadership/management/implementation, idea man only.

  3. Re:Cuz Minix Dude Was A Old Guy on Why Was Linux the Kernel That Succeeded? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Linux is not a copy of Minix, the code is quite different.

    I'll take old age, thanks

    I really don't think nuclear weapons would be useful against any race that has mastered interstellar travel, it'd be like the few amazon aboriginal tribes with arrows and poison darts vs. the U.S. Army using Apache copters loaded with Hellfire, Hydra and chain guns. A five minute action movie.

  5. Re:Number of investigations meaningless on Two Programmers Expose Dysfunction and Abuse In the Seattle Police Department · · Score: 1

    You are really full of crap, statistics prove the mainn beaters and rapers of blacks, are, wait for it, blacks. Also, they tend to vote Democrat

  6. Re: Oh Fuck Off on Ask Slashdot: Most Chromebook-Like Unofficial ChromeOS Experience? · · Score: 1

    you know what Debian or Ubuntu without the SystemD suck is called? Linux Mint

  7. Re:What a great time to be alive on Extreme Exoplanet Volcanism Possibly Detected On 55 Cancri E · · Score: 1

    depends if we get sent back to the dark ages, either by ourselves or by hostile extraterrestrial life

  8. Re:I'm not saying it was aliens, but... on Extreme Exoplanet Volcanism Possibly Detected On 55 Cancri E · · Score: 1

    actually, that could well be the type we have on Earth, if command and control of any major nuclear power taken down missiles could be launched sporadically over indefinite time period

  9. Re:Fascinating on Extreme Exoplanet Volcanism Possibly Detected On 55 Cancri E · · Score: 1

    what are you talking about, soon to be launched nasa telescopes will do just that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J...

  10. Re:Crookes radiometer? on No, NASA Did Not Accidentally Invent Warp Drive · · Score: 1

    read your link before posting it in ignorance, you will find it is a heat engine

  11. Re:Why? on How the NSA Converts Spoken Words Into Searchable Text · · Score: 1

    You have made the most incredibly stupid statement on slashdot in the past decade. Oppressive regimes that *spy on their own citizens* have slaughtered millions. You are an ignorant moron of the highest caliber.

  12. Re:Crookes radiometer? on No, NASA Did Not Accidentally Invent Warp Drive · · Score: 1

    Crookes's device is a heat engine moved by air currents, this devices is claimed to work in vacuum

  13. Re:I'm outraged on My High School CS Homework Is the Centerfold · · Score: 1

    You have proof that half the sculptors of such things weren't female? I thought not

  14. Re:I agree with TFA (Zug) on My High School CS Homework Is the Centerfold · · Score: 1

    What pinup, the picture is of her face only. You prudes really need to properly integrate with society, or go to a muslim country where they keep tarps with eye holes on their women.

  15. Re:Dumb stuff on My High School CS Homework Is the Centerfold · · Score: 2

    0h come on, you could say similar about the handsome/pretty models used in workstation/office furniture magazine.

  16. Re:Who's dense? on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    But every single object you see in your daily life has buoyancy, it has to be corrected when weighing things very precisely. And am also amused at everyone spewing the 9.8 m/s^2, that's only at ONE certain distance from center of earth's mass, it varies by height and is NOT a constant at all. They are just spewing high school level simple model without understanding.

  17. Re: danger vs taste on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    Switch to red wine, even more beneficial things in that as long as in moderation.

  18. Re:Who's an idiot? on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    You blather without having done experiment. In point of fact acceleration due to gravity increases as distance decreases, it's not a constant. It also varies with position on the Earth. You are just spewing at a high school level of understanding, again without experimental proof

  19. The "soft science" in the sense that a stick of butter is a "soft structural material"

  20. Re:enemy with same gun, we're screwed on US Successfully Tests Self-Steering Bullets · · Score: 1

    same as now, war with people shooting each other with guns. next question?

  21. Re:Very Old Technology on US Successfully Tests Self-Steering Bullets · · Score: 1

    Nope, old school high powered rifle. First shot alone would have killed him, going in his upper back, then penetrating neck, damaging vertebra in spine, through top of his right lung, and exiting his throat beneath his larynx. Then second shot made large cavity in rear of his head and send skull and brains flying.

  22. Re:Cool world on US Successfully Tests Self-Steering Bullets · · Score: 1

    you make assertion based on one person, not you, who was away for six years.....

    Here's reality, in prior decades soldiers have indeed gone home with not only machine guns and service pistols, along with interesting war trophies.

  23. Re:And they replaced it with? on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    slightly sweet and metallic, actually. Beryllium is nice and sweet. For those that prefer savory over sweet some potassium cyanide with its bitter nutty taste might be preferred

  24. Re:danger vs taste on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    not to mention those bacteria's poop is glycoproteins that help anchor them to teeth so that other bacteria, Streptococcus mutans can take up residence in the plaque and make lactic acid to dissolve the teeth.

  25. Re:danger vs taste on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    Actually it's 3 percent of other polysaccharides in HFCS and they do bizarre things to gut bacteria and metabolism.

    Stop with the nonsense that HFCS is just two common sugars, that's a approximate bulk description that no science minded person should use
