  1. Re:Doesn't matter what they report on UN Climate Report Fails To Capture Arctic Ice: MIT · · Score: 1

    It is completely irrelevant any way. Everyone with any common sense knows that the antartic, el ninios, la ninias and all of that science mumbo jumbo have no effect on climate what so ever. You just tell Jesus what kind of weather you want. Take for example Rick Perry's group prayer meeting for rain in Texas. Well. That is probably a bad example. If a real Christian, like W, would have done it we would have had rain and stuff all summer long. It is True! Jesus said!

  2. To make more money is alway the right answer on Sandy Bridge-E CPUs Too Hot For Intel? · · Score: 1

    It has been my experience that if there is a "to make more money" option, that is the correct options to choose.

  3. Re:no dark matter... on CERN Physicist Says Dark Matter May Be an Illusion · · Score: 1

    LMAO. If I only had some mod points to mod this flame bait. Oh well. Symmetry will have to wait.

  4. Re:Go Pypy! on See the PyPy JIT In Action · · Score: 1

    Your just scared because it allows one to quickly migrate U235.XML to U238.XML.

  5. Re:Who's going to pay on Space Elevator Conference Prompts Lofty Questions · · Score: 1

    All of the AAA countries have a socialist party. Socialism is to Capitalism what a Republic is to a Democracy, balance. If our founding fathers would have placed that balance into the constitution we would be in a much better place.

  6. Re:Wenn someone goes... on After Cell-Phone Switch-Off, Anonymous Promises BART Protest · · Score: 1

    In the U.S. the government would also be angry with the shut down. Of course, in the U.S. we (the NSA) monitor cell phone calls and would track people by listening in for calls regarding security personnel locations. We would then use this information to jail the most active people so the outbreak would quietly go away.

  7. Re:Oh, they can fuck right off. on After Cell-Phone Switch-Off, Anonymous Promises BART Protest · · Score: 1

    You guys call the front of the bus the "free speech area"? In the southern U.S. we just call it "the front of the bus".

  8. Re:it's true you boys on The Death of Booting Up · · Score: 1

    Proof that disk speed is half the battle.

    I'd calculate it more at 30%. BIOS is 50%. At least for most machines these days. I'm sure you've noticed the bigger and faster the machine is the longer the BIOS takes to get it there. Kind of ironic if you ask me.

  9. Walking IS zero! on What's the Carbon Footprint of Bicycling? · · Score: 1

    To say "walking isn't zero" is an obvious case of having an incorrect measure. A human needs food energy to exist. The increase in food energy used for the human to walk isn't necessarily a subtraction from the input. The human might eat 3 big macs a day. Just one of them might be necessary to fuel the humans walking energy needs (I'm assuming the walk less than 100 meters per day). if the human eats 3 big macs per day; walks monday through friday but does not walk for the rest of the week there is no measurable carbon consumption than if the human walked all 7 days whilst consuming 3 big macs per day. 21 Big Macs Consumed == 21 Big Macs Consumed. It is absurd to believe a human will only eat if they need to then expend energy.

  10. Re:The purpose of NaCl, IMO... on Chrome 14 Beta Integrates Native Client · · Score: 1

    With the NaCl port of Qt

    Huh wha...! That would be really cool.

  11. Re:C++ blows on multi-core and multi-platform on Chrome 14 Beta Integrates Native Client · · Score: 1

    I'm a serious newbie when it comes to C++ but... Isn't the latest version going have boost threads moved into the standard library. Also, aren't destructors the same as, or better than, garbage collection?

  12. Re:C++ Making its way to the web? on Chrome 14 Beta Integrates Native Client · · Score: 1

    Besides, if google was trying to go for lock in wouldn't they have done it for Go instead of C or C++?

  15. Yet another kiosk vender. on Faint Praise From WSJ For a Linux Touchscreen PC For Seniors · · Score: 1

    This is another kiosk type appliance based on GNULinux. I'll give them this. Its cool to see they are up front about everything. GNU/FOSS is like a game everyone likes. They start making Mods. Then they graduate to full conversions.

  16. Re:Property in Canada on Canadian Judge Rules Domain Names Are Property · · Score: 1

    the court has ruled that a domain name is "property"

    Not just property but "real property". It has always been something that can "belong" to an entity. eg, intellectual property. Now it is a real something, just like any other physical belonging. Your also correct in that EU and US copywrong lawyers are now flopping around and foaming at the mouth.

  17. Re:What's the point. on LinkedIn Hurries To Address Privacy Stumble · · Score: 1

    Maybe online dating isn't for you. Besides. Your on slashdot. You should be used to not getting dates. :p

    That's it! You shoot processes to kill them. Awesome.

  19. What is the point? on Researchers Make Graphene From Girl Scout Cookies · · Score: 1

    Is the sugar content of girl scout cookies higher than table sugar or is this a blatant case of a chemist going, "naner naner. I have so many girl scout cookies i can waist them in experiments"? It is obviously the later. To that I say, these are troubled times and this type of gloating is unacceptable!

  20. makes us lazy and easy to find? on How Does GPS Change Us? · · Score: 1

    I never used it. I've always been able to get into my car and drive in any pointless direction then find my way back. The family used to do that all the time when I was a kid. I'm sure sending a repeating ping to satellites would make life a lot easier for people wanting to know where you are if need be.

  21. Re:Gah on BitTorrent Trial Makes Australia's High Court · · Score: 1

    AFACT hasn't waisted any of their own money. All of it, so far, has been tax payer funded. If they loose this, the MAFIAA will have to pay.

    wasn't there a network management interface or something like that based on doom? supposedly you went around shooting stuff to make changes or something. i wish i could remember its name.

  24. What happened to games==fun? on Reaction To Diablo 3's Always-Online Requirement · · Score: 1

    Back in the day games were games, games were fun. The weren't the hyped up DRM ridden piles of shit that are out now. They need DRM to get as many $ in on first purchasers because 1 sometimes 2 are worth half the asking price and once everybody finds out the game is shit they wait for the crack. Here is an irony. About the time Diablo 2 came out (which btw imho sucked ass) I gave up on games -- windows psX xbox nada -- they all suck. RPG's became jobs. Do this, go there, do that, return here, rinse, repeat. FPS's became keyboard practice. Run to here, creep three steps, jump left, fire at those, find the explosives, toss the grenade... sigh. I thought AI would have improved. Todays RT & TB strategy games are proof nothing has been improved in at last 20 years.

    regarding the quotes from some of the developers: Trying to chump users into wanting your DRM scheme is just fucking rude.

  25. Online != real life. on Fake Names On Social Networks, a Fake Problem · · Score: 1

    Facebook, G+, etc.. want to be the repositories of who is who so they can sell it. Forcing people to use their real identities legitimizes them. If they want my real name and valuable information they 1) will pay me lots of money. 2) meet me in public. Because. 1) information about me is not free. 2) i can look them in the eye and know they are not batshit.
