  3. Re:What about Los Angeles to Las Vegas? on California Going Ahead With Bullet Train · · Score: 2

    It's called the DesertXpress, going from Victorville (80 miles NE of Los Angeles) to Vegas. It originally was going to Anaheim (30 miles SE of LA), but the Cajon Pass is scary in a train.

    ... the Constitution to be declared unconstitutional...

    No, it's "void where prohibited by law"

    At certain quantities, it's as dangerous as dihydrogen monoxide

  10. Hummmmm... on Census Tech Makeover Includes Innovation "Oasis" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just because you have a redesign of your interior does not mean that they'll be better enabled to "be more creative". I'd say quality assurance and constant retesting/redesign leading up to the next census will be much more beneficial.

  11. As an owner on Cisco Ditches Flip and $590 Million · · Score: 2

    As an owner of a flip, they only recorded; no pictures, no stop-motion available.

  12. Re:Keep them stupid on California Library's Plan: Get Rid of Books · · Score: 1

    If you knew California politics, then you would know that the cuts come from a compromise that avoid either a serious tax increase or budget cuts; there should be a little of both if the California Republicans agree to it. That's what happens in a state where tax cuts come from a simple majority and tax increases require a super majority.

    Chris Griffin: "Dad, what's a library?"

  14. Re:Keep them stupid on California Library's Plan: Get Rid of Books · · Score: 0

    Except Newport Beach, CA is a VERY rich town (Tesla dealership on the main highway) with most of the people there are already well educated and politically connected. Hopefully it wakes the extreme-right republicans of Orange County how their continuous tax cuts for the rich will have a severe negative effect on their community.

    4. Raise the retirement age, effective in 2020.

    They already have raised the full retirement age to 67 for those born in 1960 or later. This was signed into law by Ronald Regan in 1983

  17. Simple Solution on CS Profs Debate Role of Math In CS Education · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you don't want math with your computer science, learn computers / networks / shiny jargon at a trade school

  19. Re:Linked site caused Firefox to crash ... on Multi-Core Voltage Regulators To Increase Processor Efficiency · · Score: 1

    That's because there is a virus trying to load from the link (JS I assume). Thankfully my AV stopped it and warned me about it.

  20. Re:Legit on Trying To Lure Suckers, Company Resells Open Source Blender · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I thought artists didn't deserve copyrights anymore and lived on a "failed business model".

    Always hard to always stay up to date on the current common wisdom of Slashdot.

    It's not that artists don't deserve copyrights on their own works, they need to eat too, it's the fact that a copyright is now automatically granted for life PLUS for another 70 years after death. Also, it's not the artist who live on a failed business model, it's the companies who produce and distribute those works that are. The cost of recording, editing, and distributing are now minimal; artists can do it themselves and keep a better portion of the profits.

    The aliens will invade after they get sick of so many reruns of friends reaching them.

    Wrong, they'll invade earth to watch the end of Single Female Lawyer

    Now wait and see how many comments about deleting the site are posted here, and marvel at the number of people who don't read TFA...

    There are articles with these headlines & summaries?

  24. Re:How to avoid Apple lock-in in one easy step on Monkey Island Creator Slams Corporate Control Over Game Publishing · · Score: 1

    The problem has been market leaders have the money that these companies need. Companies fear if they aren't there, the competition will be. Take WalMart for example; they were able to drive down prices by telling companies to drop their prices or they would be dropped from the stores. With WalMart having such huge sales volumes, companies went along and drop their prices. It's a monopolistic move that in the long run is dangerous to an economy.

  25. Re:The Question Is... on Researchers Test Space Beer · · Score: 1

    how do you know if you've brewed an ale or a lager?

    Depends if lager yeast or ale yeast are used. From there you determine the proper fermenting time and temp.
