Hey, take it easy on the fellow dude... see how he writes, you can only presume he was a subject of these studies he talks about. See when he ways the connection often infects the brain? So, that's it. And judging by his signature, I can only assume he suffered some brain injury.
The discovery fits neatly with the region's heavy seismic activity and fits neatly with the idea that the planet's moving crustal plates are lubricated with water.
How would that affect Tesla's plans to break Earth in two? I'm just asking, I do not plan to take this plan ahead!!
These showers are pretty common here in Brazil, specially because the initial cost to install a gas heating system is a little steep for the brazilian standards. Besides, it's seldon too cold in most of the country so we don't need to warm the entire house. Anyway, despite of the fear of some people, these showers are pretty safe when properly installed and I believe the same can be said about gas heating. And the stronger electric shower I've seen is "only" 5.4kW (more common in southern Brazil, where the winter is colder), some being as low as 3.2kW.
My personal choice? Gas heating for sure. I've already had both and gas heating is much better.
Hey, I remember that post of yours! I also remember I would mod it up if I had mod points at that point. Anyway, I had no idea I would be modded down for asking you if you needed karma that bad, I was trying to be funny, but, you know, "I must be new here" and I still don't get the sense of humour of Slashdot's universe. Well, I could also be modded "troll" for praising your post (saying I would mod it "insightful"), who knows? But that's Slashdot, "where you are modded troll or flamebait if you don't love Linux and/or Google!"(R)
Well, for starters, it's worth $130, which is a pretty substantial amount of food in these countries.
NOOOOOO!!!! Oh, no... please god, no... what have I done to deserve this? How long will we see these ignorant arguments about this subject? And what disappoints me more is to see it on Slashdot. And to make the disappointment even bigger, it was said by somebody with a karma bonus and a low ID.
Mod me troll, flamebait or whatever, I don't care anymore. Burn my karma along with my disappointment. Bye, Slashdot. It was good while it lasted.
Companies expect generosity and loyalty from their employees, but have absolutely no intention of being generous or loyal to their employees. Generous and loyal employees increase company proffit.

"The average Romanian salary is around $320/month if I remind well. You can't expect them to $250 for an OS. It would like paying $2500 for an OS in a more developped country."
Or in other words:
"The average Romanian salary is around $320/month if I remind well. You can expect them to [pay] $0 for a Linux distro. It would [be] like paying $0 for a Linux distro in a more developped country."
Why are we making ethanol if we're trying to make a fuel?
My car runs with ethanol (it runs with gasoline too). Isn't it a fuel? (According to the dictionary, yes, it is.) More than that, my car does 11.8 kilometers per liter (27.75 miles per gallon for americans, 8.478 liters per 100 km for europeans) with ethanol and it costs only 65% of the price of gasoline.
It would have to run 18.15 km per liter with gasoline (42.69 mpg, 5.51 l/100km) to have the same cost per kilometer, but it doesn't go further than 15 km/l.
Then let's go back to the caves! Oh, that would mean we would have to burn lumber, which could pollute even more because we would need a minimum light and heat, specially to cook.
Some say that if you want to do something for Earth, have less kids. Or don't have kids at all! Earth's natural resources are not enough to make all us 6.6 billion people to have nice, comfortable lives... at least not with our current technology (and neither with any in the near future). Maybe if we were 2 or 3 billion instead of more than 6 billion, things would be different.
And last time I had to use floppy disk, it failed!
Anyway, less than a year ago, my wife had to send a paper for a symposium and the university wanted it to be sent in a floppy disk! The problem was that we just had notebooks at home with no floppy disk drive around to use. She contacted them and they accepted the paper in a CD-R. Then we burned a 40 kBytes DOC file in a 700 MBytes CD-R and everybody was happy. (Sure, the university could have built a system to send the files through the Internet, but it was the Phylology Department, what would explain why they were asking floppy disks in the first place.)

And I would think the average slashdot reader is technically inclined enough to understand what it really is, without the retarded analogy.
You must be new here...

You overestimate people.

Take off every 'Zig'!!
You know what you doing.
Move 'Zig'.
For great justice.

I'd prefer to know that systems capable of carrying weapons which can kill hundreds of thousands of people were designed with the same safety in mind.
And I'd prefer to know that systems capable of carrying weapons which can kill hundreds of thousands of people simply were not designed.
It wasn't modded down, it was posted by Anonymous Coward, so it starts with 0 points. You must be new here (although your id number is pretty low).
Slashdot lacks a "+1 funny (but old joke)" mod option.

I'm not american and I've never been to the USA, but isn't Kansas City in the state of Missouri while the article says about the state of Kansas?
It was while I was studying Computer Sciences, more than 10 years ago. But I was young and let my friends convince me that it was just stupid.
If you have an idea for something, don't let people convince you it's stupid, not even if it really is.

Do you need karma this bad?

In Nelson's voice: Ha ha!

He maybe could. Microsoft's market value is $299 billion and Romania's GDP is $219 billion.
