I'd rather lose those few (allegedly) "good" posts than read any more trolls. If it's too hard tell the difference between an semi-literate rant over "how angles save my sole" and a troll, the world isn't any worse off for not having the rant.
Despite the apparent similarities, Twitter is not a legally protected soap box in the public square. It's a private service, and they can censor anyone they want for any reason. Trolls can run off and join trolltalk.com if they want their own voice.
1-3% of which was spent on the shovel ready jobs. and of that money, at least in my state, it was dumped into repaving a road nobody drives, that was repaved just 10 years prior.
the problem is they don't employ somebody like me to drive around all day and figure out which ones needs fixing and which don't. There's a lot of highways that get repaved but were originally paved so well that even after 15 years, scratched and scuffed and noisy as the asphalt is, it's still 100% operable and, in fact, safer in wet weather than newly paved roads. That money could be spent converting our other roads that need repaving every 2 years to concrete.
This. I'm also sick of idiots who use shit like "1.2.6.27 beta" as some sort of version string. No one knows what your asinine convention is, so it's meaningless. No one in your office understands that asinine convention either, and for the 3 people who do, they'll change "1.4.2.12" to "1.5" for marketing purposes anyway.
MS got this right - you get a straight sequential build number if you need it, otherwise it's a simple "Windows 7" or "Windows 7 SP1" convention. Of course, they fucked that up with "Windows 8.1" and "R2" for all their server shit. Essentially they're: 1) Killing off service packs for the server software because they want to charge for another license when the historical precedent was a free service pack. 2) Refusing to release Windows 7 SP2 because it will trigger a support extension. 3) Refusing to release any service pack for Windows 8 because they want people to forget it (despite the fact that there's nothing wrong with it). 4) Skipping 9 because they REALLY want people to forget Windows 8.
This. While we're at it, I'm sick of people starting their post with "This." instead of permitting their elaboration to imply agreement with the parent. This. This bugs me. This. please stop. This. I agree, please stop gaudily using "This."
I finally got everything set up nicely with 4.4.4 on my Nexus 5 was really started to appreciate the Holo themes to everything (remember? battery saving for Amoled screens!) they they went and came up with this notion that white is better because you shove stacks of paper around on a desk, that's what your phone should do too (Material Design).

I'll be staying on 4.4.4 for as long as possible, and I have backups of apps that have changed to the new design layout, like Gmail, so that I can continue to view 8 emails on my inbox screen instead of 5.
They make us get bigger screens an then they simply make everything on the screen bigger and waste the space, instead of improving productivity. I'm almost ready to switch to Apple. Tired of dealing with silly bugs and poorly executed design

I'm sorry, but physics are a bitch, and you are too for claiming that power doesn't follow the cube of voltage in SoCs. (yes, cube. It follows the cube of voltage, not the I^2R you're used to seeing)

Don't underestimate how much the public outcry affected this. I am involved in politics, and have had discussions about this on the federal level. One thing I learned is that most leaders in congress only know what the people around them tell them. They don't have time to surf Slashdot and Reddit (and people wonder why I don't want to run for office)
that's actually a good point I hadn't considered that makes me discredit them less, which helps me think more positively about life and the future in general.
Properly shielded equipment uses different methods to 'break the cage'. It's been many decades, but some of the heavily shielded designs I did in the 80's involved opto-isolators. Yes, that's right. Want to avoid radiating information ? Use light.
this used to make sense to me, but now that I understand that light is just part of the EM spectrum, I find myself confused.
Massless particles travel at c in their local frame of reference, always. Having mass in the way just makes the path it takes longer. The researchers who "stopped" light trapped it inside a crystal, while it was "stopped" the energy existed as excited atoms inside the crystal.
From an outside perspective light can appear to be propagating very slowly, but from the perspective of the photon it is always traveling at the same speed. In this vein though, I wonder if it's correct to say that light propagates instantly and we only observe a time dimension because we are traveling through time.

sorry bro you're in the wrong country then LOL
-1, VOTE DOWN!!! >:O because I disagree
also I use troll, flamebait, and redundant liberally to quench well reasoned opinions that I disagree with.
yeah, that's not why they have Tizen

Remember, C-470 was called "The Highway Colorado Doesn't Need" when it was first built, and now it has traffic jams on it on a daily basis
it sounds like we should be doing more roads with tolls instead of this "well, maybe we need it. oops, guess we didn't"
we already account for weight. heavy vehicles cost more to run because of poor gas mileage.
It's a no-brainer.
then how are we supposed to do it?
what? This is the days of google chrome where every update is "significant"
This.

Just reclassify the moon as an Inner-Space region

more people will move to the slashdot 2.0 version
wait...
even well-populated areas of the US still have limited, unreliable, and gimmick-heavy choices. I'm one.
you are?
a machine should never be given the freedom to replicate itself unless it also has the capacity to improve itself.
I'd love to reform taxes but you want to retain your ability to grant credits to green companies
the time cube was right, partially right, partially wrong, and wrong all at once, simultaneously, in four, 24-hour quadrants of rightness.
just use internet explorer, or stay on slashdot all day
What is the sound of one hand clapping?

hm, they should make a movie about that
