  1. and minors generally aren't allowed to vote

  2. Re:In Bitcoin global decentral empire on We'll Never Legalize Bitcoin, Says Russian Minister (siliconangle.com) · · Score: 1

    Vainglorious yes, but hardly irrelevant. Nowadays there are more stories on Slashdot about Russia than about Linux.

  3. Re:The accident mentioned in the article... on Russia Detects a Significant Radiation Spike In Mountains Close To Soviet-Era Nuclear Plant (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Mayak is not just a military installation for producing weapons grade plutonium, it is also the main Russian spent fuel reprocessing site and an important site for medical radioisotope creation.

  4. Re:Catch 22 for small companies on EU Agrees To End Country-Specific Limits For Online Retailers (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    That is only true for services, not for goods.

  5. Re: Trump will save the day on What They Don't Tell You About Climate Change (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    Matter of fact, they can run directly on coal. There also have been turbine engines that ran on coal dust. Coal-water slurry is also possible.

  6. Caesium 137 for example.

  7. Re:Damore isn't the one who should rethink things on 'I See Things Differently': James Damore on his Autism and the Google Memo (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    how about "conservatives tend to be higher in conscientiousness"? that was not just unwarranted, but downright ridiculous.

  8. There is nothing about China that is communist in any way. What they have nowadays is state capitalism bordering on fascism.

    And as for "would you want to live there", what does have this anything to do with them being or not being communists? I wouldn't want to live in all kinds of countries.

  9. So that makes North Korea a democracy then?

  10. Re:Watch the timer, step on the train on Apology After Japanese Train Departs 20 Seconds Early (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Almost correct. 1994 was the year when German railways started to suck.

  11. Re:Firefox 57 finally pushed me over to Chrome on Slashdot Asks: Have You Switched To Firefox 57? · · Score: 1

    Except it is not quite the same API.
    You see, I had one classic Firefox addon that was perfect for my specific use case. A couple of months ago when it was foreseeable that classic addons would be switched off, I switched to Chrome at work and to Opera at home. You see, Chrome has a similar extension, and while it is not nearly as comfortable as the old Firefox one, it is still sort of usable. I've just installed that particular Chrome extension in Firefox 57 and it doesn't work, so apparently there is enough difference in the API.

  12. The Latin alphabet is derived from the ancient Greek alphabet. The Cyrillic alphabet is also derived from Greek, but from a different and more recent version of it.

  13. Re:The problem is design by committee not Lockheed on Lockheed Martin To Build High-Energy Airborne Laser For Fighter Planes (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    F-104 was a fair weather airplane. Nice to fly in California, not so nice in Germany.

    this is like saying that you can carry water in a bucket with a hole in it by becoming a faster runner. it is possible, but impractical and borders on masochism.

    it is not a quirk and the fact that i actually have to explain this to you... well, i guess you have hit your head too many times.

    because being too tall is not nearly as inconvinient as being too short. for you it is just a slight loss of comfort, but you are still able to accomodate yourself. a too short person is physically unable to compensate. but if you are too stupid to duck, i guess you are also too stupid to understand that.

    so now you are whining because you are literally too stupid to duck?

    It is not a Boeing, so due to the envelope protection steering an Airbus into the ground would take so much time that the crew would not need any counteracting. The Germanwings 9525 suicide took 10 whole minutes because the flight computer simply did not allow the aircraft to sink faster.

    I say that and I am most certainly not a group. Matter of fact my psychodoc specifically ruled any schizophrenia out.

    Except in a democracy all citizens have a right to vote. Changing that would abolish democracy right away and create a large pool of second class citizens.
    I mean, if you don't like democracy and consider yourself some kind of nobility, it is fine, I guess. Just be honest about it.

  25. Re:It's cheaper to do it somewhere else on The Disappearing American Grad Student (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Except that people from all over the world go to all kinds of countries for schooling. USA is not nearly the only country with international students.
