    "Plenty of nasties grow in hydroponic solutions, anyone using hydro has to include sterilization as part of the yearly cycle (and often many times a year).."

    Psssht, not even close. We've got inline UV and O3 purification on any decent system, and it's moving into home units.

    "Let me guess: it's either dumped back in the sea or left as a slurry and pumped underground as they do in the oil patch."

    You could always just do a little basic research and look up SEA-90.

  3. Hey GHCQ on British Intelligence Responds To Slashdot About Man-in-Middle Attack · · Score: 1

    I made a lot of the technology your horticultural sector needs to stay alive (and even got on the BBC for it so you know I'm not fucking joking.) Don't piss me off or you'll find the British Pound suddenly worth as much as a Zimbabwe dollar.

    Backdoors and insurance. Much like Edward Snowden, I always carry a trump card or ten.

    Game on, you fuckin' wankers.

    You've never delved that far into the alt.discussion listings, have you?

    Pot growers already way ahead of NASA.

    NASA might as well just give up. They screwed up by laughing at us when we came to them with this tech in the first place.

  6. Drag them into Cali court and sue under Anti-SLAPP on Canonical Targets Ubuntu Privacy Critic · · Score: 1

    "You can use the Trademarks in discussion, commentary, criticism or parody, provided that you do not imply endorsement by Canonical.

    You can write articles, create websites, blogs or talk about Ubuntu, provided that it is clear that you are in no way speaking for or on behalf of Canonical and that you do not imply endorsement by Canonical."

    Right off their legal page.

    Assuming the fixubuntu site owner live in the USA, they would be well-armed to file suit and force those UK bastards into our courts for a good stomping.

    " It's unfortunate that there aren't SLAPP laws in every state"

    You don't need them in every state. Learn how to pick shop jurisdictions when bringing a lawsuit.

    " if they switch to some vendor neutral forum"

    You must be new to the internet. There's not one god-damned forum out there that's neutral by any fucking means.

    The logarithmic exponent scale of decibels is for every +/-10 dB you've either doubled or halved the loudness. What nonsense are you speaking?

    Fanboi of what, moron?

    Show me the fanboyism. I think you'll find I can and do bash anything at any opportunity, including your dumb ass.

    I've got cheap-ass $10 chinese cases quiet than that crappy thing Anandtech chose.

    Also, Anandtech complains about noise, it's obvious they've never had a Delta fan or 5800FX.

    The acoustic profile is absolutely horrible compared to say a HAF 922 or Fractal Define R4, hence Anand's nearly double-loudness noise measurement versus everyone else with a brain on choosing a proper computer case.

    Well, they could've gone worse. They could've gone with an old SGI tower.

    That's only for the computer services. I charge $5 every 15 minutes for gardening services, so between $10-$20/hr.

    Excellent way of making fast money to buy more research and development equipment, especially since many retailers online are using Google Wallet!

    I'm already getting better reviews than some of the big-name stores that are offering their services for free.

  18. Anandtech Fucked Up on AMD's Radeon R9 290 Delivers 290X Performance For $150 Less · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They used a shitty case with absolutely horrible acoustic profile to measure the card noise and got a whopping 57 dB.

    Had they bothered to use a real case, they'd have had it almost half as loud (looks like everyone else managed to stay under 50 dB.)

    It's like Anandtech never heard of Delta Fans, either.

  20. The Reason for Helpouts on Google Relying On People Power For 'Helpouts' · · Score: 1

    Plenty of things simply can't be properly conveyed via text alone. Hence, Google has made a voice/video helper system so people around the world can get help from anyone else around the world, see their face, hear their voice, and gain a larger degree of confidence.

    I only charge $5 for a maximum 30 minute session. Many other people are way overpricing themselves.

  21. No Satellite, Wireless Radio Only on Ask Slashdot: Good Satellite Internet For Remote Locations? · · Score: 1

    Might as well set up a fairly powerful transmitter/receiver on the ground for data linkage. Radio will net you better data transmission and will tolerate your weather conditions much better. Plus you could very likely get many megabits out of a few channels properly multiplexed.

  22. Re:It's a clear tax scam on Amazon Botches Sales Tax, Overcharges NJ · · Score: 1

    It is standard practice in pretty much any online retailer business to overcharge on shipping for extra income, taxes or not.

    Mainly because the shipping carriers only add an ESTIMATE on plus tax using their automated systems. The actual billing cost to the company is typically lower.

    There is still money being pocketed.

    They're not paying taxes on extra 'income' from overcharging shipping.

    Amazon is just counting on people to not notice it. They're stealing money and they know it.

    This is a very common scam that almost nobody gets busted on, mostly because the IRS is too fucking lazy to do its goddamned job.
