  1. Unixware Master Ace on SCO Is Undeniably, Reliably Dead (fossforce.com) · · Score: 1

    Guess my Unixware and Openserver Master Ace is worthless now?

  2. Re:Cue the on 'Just Let Me Code!' · · Score: 1

    And even with all of that, you can go back a year later and look at your code and think, "Wow. I have learned a lot since then. I should recode this section."

    Welcome to Agile.

    And you would completely disagree with mathematics and statistics.

  5. Re:By what definition of "rich"? on In the US, Rich Now Work Longer Hours Than the Poor · · Score: 1

    HAHA.. My community college was Internet connected in 1975. What colleges were not connected in the early 90's?

    My guess is that there are Less people who have health insurance now... than before it passed.

    There you go guessing again. If you want us to believe all of the doom you are saying, show some real evidence. Just standing hear spouting your guesses doesn't accomplish anything.

    No. It's not. Intelligent people get their information from the source, and not biased bloggers and reporters. Your bloggers are not scions of fact. That would be like us using Huffington Post to "prove" something. No reason to do that. It is just another opinion. We don't cite NBC or ABC or any reporter as proof of anything.

    Real information comes from records, and not anecdotes, or suspicions. The fact is that you don't know if the ACA will be a net positive or negative because you haven't given it time to even be implemented and the market to adjust. It will be at least 4 years before we know what the effects are. All you have are predictions about how it will ruin the country.

    The voting record of congress is a citation you can use for proof. Breitbart is just another person's opinion. They teach this stuff in critical thinking classes. You might check it out. You could learn the difference between a reliable citation source and an opinion.

  8. Re:Creationism = religion, not science. At all. on Getting Evolution In Science Textbooks For Texas Schools · · Score: 1

    An evolutionist is so in love with his religion that he will easily ignore the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics to claim that every living thing made itself out of nothing. Not just impossible, but never will be possible.

    I don't know any evolutionists that think "every living thing made itself out of nothing". Could you cite a reputable scientific source for your assertion?

    Some scientists and I believe amino acids were created by atmospheric energy and basic chemical reactions. Once you have amino acids, all it takes is some of them to bond into proteins. It goes on from there and I don't have the space here to explain it all, but basically your assertion is bull crap.

    And the second law only applies to closed systems. Earth is not a closed system.

  9. See "microphage". on Imagining the Post-Antibiotic Future · · Score: 1

    You will feel better if you read up on microphages. These are proteins that can harm viruses and bacteria.

  10. Re:terrorism! ha! on Imagining the Post-Antibiotic Future · · Score: 1

    See "reductio ad absurdum".

  11. Re:Only relevant line on Google Blocks YouTube App On Windows Phone (Again) · · Score: 1

    You are totally missing the fact that MS manipulated the PC market all during the 90's. I worked for a major computer manufacturer. Every cpu that went out had to have a Windows license, even if the user was purchasing it to run SCO or Netware. If we didn't agree to that, they would not license Windows to us, which at the time, would have been death for a PC manufacturer. Total abuse of the monopoly on desktop OS market to control the whole x86 market.

  12. Re:Overreaction. on You Can't Print a Gun If You Have No 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    I think you are confusing automatic with semi-automatic. An automatic rifle is a machine gun. A semi-automatic is not.

  13. Re:Need federal license on You Can't Print a Gun If You Have No 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    This only applies to NFA firearms, which are machine guns or short barreled shotguns.

  14. I vote for Flywheels on Microsoft Wants To Nix Data Center Backup Generators · · Score: 1

    Flywheels are very efficient and require no maintenance. They operate much as a battery does.

  15. Re:In a laptop performance isn't the only issue on Are SSDs Finally Worth the Money? · · Score: 1

    That means your computer is running more efficiently. Just because the drive can transfer 10x more data doesn't mean that more data will be required. You will do the same work with the SSD as the platter drive, just in 1/10th the time. The exact same CPU cycles will be required, but the CPU won't be idle as often waiting for the drive to return a request. It will still be idle. Probably the same amount with either drive. But with the SSD it will have completed it's tasks before going idle.

  16. Re:Just goes to show you... on Look-Alike Web Sites Hoodwink Republican Donors · · Score: 1

    HAHAHA.. You think the average Slashdotter has shame? That's so cute. HAHA.. no really, what did you mean?

  17. Re:Here be no surprises on Obama and Romney Respond To ScienceDebate.org Questionnaire · · Score: 2

    You are parroting the Republican idea that there is this huge population of lazy people that don't want to work and want handouts. Could you post a link to some research that supports this conclusion? I hear the claim all of the time, but I just don't believe that the hardworking Americans turned lazy in January of 2008.

  18. Re:Just what they want Linux to become ? on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you just need a more Linux friendly sound card? Lot's of noobs complain about Linux when they are actually trying to run on hardware that is not fully supported. Did you pick your hardware from the HCL? No. You probably had an old Windoze machine and decided to run Linux on it. Those types of problems were more common 7 years ago. Try a modern distro on equipment that is compatible and you won't have any of this.

    'I've had more kernel panics, lock ups, *nix FAIL in the past 10 years than BSODs.' - Then you're doing it wrong.

  20. Re:Erm... on Aussie Online Retailer Impose IE7 Tax · · Score: 1

    But doing the extra work for IE is not economically viable. As a web developer, I spend at least as much time modifying my CSS to make IE happy as I do developing the site in the first place. So my labor is doubled, which means my costs are doubled. And for what? Vendor lock-in. That is not of any benefit to me.

    IE is only where it is because of illegal tying of the OS to the web browser. As many people have said, most users just use the browser that comes installed on their computer.

  21. Re:the trickle down will hurt small businesses on Amazon To Collect Indiana Sales Tax In 2014 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I am a small Internet business owner. I can't imagine the time it would take me to manage tax rates for all 50 states and to pay 50 states at the end of the quarter. That will bite.

    It's totally useful. I used it to check the sound level differences of noise coming off of fans and harddrives. The electro-magnetic spectrum analyzer is useful also. The tool is in the hands of the user, not the intent of the maker.
