  1. Re:My distro is better than your distro on Choose Your Side On the Linux Divide · · Score: 2

    That's your opinion, sure...

  2. Re:I forced myself to watch it on Put A Red Cross PSA In Front Of the ISIS Beheading Video · · Score: 1

    Why should the other Muslim nations give a shit?

    There's such an obvious power imbalance between Israel and Palestine. Palestinians will keep attacking out of pure spite because there's absolutely nothing they can do to change the situation.

    "They could stop firing the rockets" you say.

    But yeah. Like that's going to happen. The "country" is so fractioned that there's no central control over these acts. Who is going to make them stop? Heck, even if some central authority managed to make the attacks stop somehow there'd still be armed independent groups active and I'm fairly sure they'd keep on firing rockets.

    Israeli retaliation will only kill more people, and that will make even more people hate Israel. It's a never ending spiral of hate, and the only realistic way for this to end is for Israel to calm down.

  3. Re:Global market for talent on Tech Looks To Obama To Save Them From 'Just Sort of OK' US Workers · · Score: 2

    That's because corporations are parasites shopping for employees on a global market, but fraction the markets for their own products deliberately to counter precisely the thing they themselves are doing.

    The only currently know cultural toxin is conservatism.

    THAC0 was excessively complex because of how it interacted with AC.

    A bonus to X is something that lowers it?

    So a -2 penalty to a stat increases it?

  7. Re:god dammit. on Solar Plant Sets Birds On Fire As They Fly Overhead · · Score: 1

    Your second paragraph follows from your first. Alas, the first one does not follow from reality.

  8. Re:Stupidity on Ebola Quarantine Center In Liberia Looted · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes. That's what I was getting at in my original post. The fact that despite the evidence that exists, they ignore it because it contradicts their beliefs.

    It's really quite fascinating.

    (i'm the anon you're replying to)

  9. Re:begs FFS on Entire South Korean Space Programme Shuts Down As Sole Astronaut Quits · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I agree entirely.

    People who write "would of" instead of "would have" should be shot, though.

  10. Re:Are You Kidding? on Geneticists Decry Book On Race and Evolution · · Score: 1

    Because what we see is always accurate and never coloured by our own beliefs.

  11. Re:Are only black people "diverse"? on Jesse Jackson: Tech Diversity Is Next Civil Rights Step · · Score: 1

    Google is probably not an accurate representation of that employment market considering that it seems to me to be exactly the company that would make deliberate attempts to hire for diversity.

    Anyway. While the amount of whites seems fairly accurately representative of america as a whole, the proportions of non-whites is interesting.

    White (72%)
    African American (12%)
    Asian American (5%)

    Asians are grossly overrepresented and african americans are very underrepresented.

  12. Re:So much for the "Information Age" on MIT's Ted Postol Presents More Evidence On Iron Dome Failures · · Score: 1

    Wait.

    Are you seriously arguing that Boko Haram is representative of the ideology of Islam?

    And at the same time you seem to imply that nazism was hijacked by radicals?

  13. Re:Finally! on World Health Organization Calls For Decriminalization of Drug Use · · Score: 1, Troll

    That seems fairly accurate.

    If you look at it, christianity seems designed for a society where everyone feels like shit and is oppressed, while priests tell you that everything will be better once you're dead (as long as you made sure not to have fun in this life, then you go to hell)

    It seems to be the kind of religion ideally suited for a super authoritarian society.

    Scientific experts (marketers and psychologist) are already making decisions for you. You just not aware.

    That was a truly great game.

    The gameplay itself was a bit lacking, but the atmosphere was amazing.

  16. Re:What about as a lifestyle choice? on EU's Top Court May Define Obesity As a Disability · · Score: 1

    For that to be true, it has to be the case that every prison rape incident is a result of sexual desire. You entirely ignore the possibility that prison rape is not only about sexuality itself, but about domination and power.

    Minecraft really is a game, yes.

  18. Re:The problem with the Humanities on An MIT Dean's Defense of the Humanities · · Score: 1

    1: It seems fairly common among humanities students that, unless they also study some "hard science" subject on the side, they are fully aware of their own weakness in those subjects and do their utmost to avoid having to come close to them.

    2: It seems fairly endemic among STEM students that they believe that all humanities stuff is useless garbage that matters to nobody and that everything can be solved by "logic".

    3: Evil and destructive ideas? What?

    I'm intrigued. What's the main difference, in your opinion, between GOA and NRA?

  20. But the price? on Bill Gates & Twitter Founders Put "Meatless" Meat To the Test · · Score: 2

    Stuff like this tends to be prohibitively expensive. That seems to be the greatest obstacle to acceptance.

  21. Re:Not expecting nor will get any sympathy. on Ask Slashdot: Hungry Students, How Common? · · Score: 1

    You reminded me of the survivor fallacy.

    A Polish engineer/mathematician was hired by the US air force during WW2. His mission was to make US airplanes stay in the air longer. He was shown a bunch of planes which had returned safely from missions. Some of them had many bullet holes. His commander told him that he thought the best plan was to reinforce the bullet pierced areas with thicker plating.

    The engineer objected and suggested instead: The bullet holes indicate that the pierced areas need no additional plating. After all, the planes with bullet holes here returned safely. Look instead into reinforcing areas without bulletholes, as if a plane was downed surely it must've been struck somewhere where these planes were not.

  23. Re:The Religious Right will have your head on a pl on It's Time To Bring Pseudoscience Into the Science Classroom · · Score: 2

    I bet a major reason why conservatives are into organized religion is because organized religion is by its nature authoritarian.

    By contrast, pagan and new age stuff are pretty much anti-authoritarian and very individualist (but just as stupid as organized religion).

  25. Re:Max RAM? on An SSD for Your Current Computer May Save the Cost of a New One (Video) · · Score: 1

    Video editing?

    I see you have yet to enter the wonderful world of sample based orchestration.

    I could easily max out 128 GB of ram. If I'm feeling excessive I could probably reach 256 GB, but then I'd have to do silly things like loading even articulations I don't use.

    And I'm working with relatively low-end sample sets. I don't know the maximum size of, say, the VSL collection, but I bet about two terrabytes are necessary for perfectly fluid playback of the whole thing.

    (currently i suffer with only 12 GB of ram and it really strains the capacity. I have to cycle out instruments from ram as I work on my tracks when I run out of ram)
