  1. Re:Changes seem irrelevant... on Ubuntu 10.10, Maverick Meerkat, Now Available · · Score: 1

    I fresh-installed the RC on my netbook (EeePC 1005) and it feels faster than Lucid. Maybe it's btrfs. Or could LVM improve disk IO? (LVM still needs to be installed manually.)

  2. Re:Apples are even older on Paleontologists Unearth Giant Fossilized Penguin · · Score: 1

    But around 2000 they got a huge gene transfer from the devil and other creatures.

  3. Re:Brown and Gray Feathers on Paleontologists Unearth Giant Fossilized Penguin · · Score: 1

    A Fedora but no Red Hat? How come?

  4. GoodLuckWithThat on DuckDuckGo Search Engine Erects Tor Hidden Service · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How long until it's going to be shut down because you can find nasty bits with it?

  5. Re:ohhh on In Canada, Criminal Libel Charges Laid For Criticizing Police · · Score: 1

    Actually rape has been shown to be a viable reproductive strategy in some primates - basically the only way for any but alpha males.
    Hidden Estrus defuses that to some degree but the behavior is still there.

  6. Re:TFS is confusing on HDCP Master Key Is Legitimate; Blu-ray Is Cracked · · Score: 1

    I pump 2 GB/s to disk via 4 PCIe 3ware cards, each writing 500 MB/s to a SATA RAID6. That's on a garden variety server. Give me a few more/faster PCIe buses and I'll read data at that speed too.

  7. Re:Again paranoia rules the roost on Police Publish 'An Introduction To PEDO BEAR' · · Score: 1

    Yup. The incidence of pedophilia seems similar to homosexuality, i.e. low single digits, if you can find studies (which are mostly suppressed these days.)
    If you lurk on truly anonymous channels like Tor or Freenet boards, you see that the majority of confessed pedophiles are aware of what's going on and that it would badly harm a child if they followed their feelings, so they don't do it. IMHO you need pedophilia plus be a sociopath to actually go ahead with it.

  8. Re:A new low? on Super Principia Mathematica · · Score: 1

    Well VA needs money too.
    Looks like we need theology.advertisement.slashdot.org.

  9. Re:just awful on Super Principia Mathematica · · Score: 1

    Oh yes, It's been mocking me from the living room table for weeks, half-read. It's the most strenuous read since university texts 20+ years ago. After the deceptively simple first two or so chapters you're doomed.

  10. Re:The problem is anything that raises blood sugar on High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover · · Score: 1

    Not just a little better. HFCS takes two minutes to digest, whole wheat bread two hours.

  11. Re:WOAH WOAH WOAH on Torvalds Becomes an American Citizen · · Score: 1

    Hes already contributed to the American culture before he was a citizen?

    Nonono! He has contributed to the destruction of America! Damn immigrants! Terrists, all of them!

    Just ask Steve Ballmer.

  12. Re:What does it say about your company... on Microsoft Helps Adobe Block PDF Zero-Day Exploit · · Score: 1

    We're a Linux shop, you insensitive clod!

  13. Doesn't the Bible say so? on Geocentrists Convene To Discuss How Galileo Was Wrong · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Now if you take the Bible as the literal truth, as so many do, this is to be expected.

  14. It leaks? on Acer Dual-Screen, Multitouch Laptop Leaks Out · · Score: 1

    I hope they're going to fix that before it goes into production.
    And what is leaking? Some kind of fluid?

  15. Re:Old news, buy oil stocks. on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 1

    Oil will never run out, given that you can make it from biomass.

    The question is just how much want to pay for it.

  16. Re:Prophecy on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 1

    Actually it peaked in 2004 and 2008 and has been declining since then. Given the forecasted price per barrel in the near future, there's no way those peaks will be topped.

  17. Re:Prophecy on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 1

    So you think that as soon as we run out of fossil fuels, all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will magically disappear?

    Yes it will.
    It will take a couple millennia though.

  18. Re:Erste Gepotsung! on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 1

    Zisch? Husch?

  19. Re:Now you know on Family To Receive $1.5M+ In Vaccine-Autism Award · · Score: 1

    Unless you fix your immune system with exercise and proper nutrition.

  20. Re:His concerns are valid on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 1

    The cheap energy, aka coal, will upset Mother Nature well before it ends.

    I like kids too - medium rare with some barbecue sauce.

    This guy is not a teabagger despite the fact that he hates immigrants.

    He sounds like bag of green tea.

  23. Re:Thanks a lot, Jackass on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 1

    The problem is that anybody slightly left of center is called a left-winger these days while the center doesn't seem to have much of a boundary on the right.

  24. Re:Is the server OK? on Drunken Employee Shoots Server · · Score: 1

    Field Service was able to stanch the flow of electrons, and now it's at the shop in critical condition. No further information was available due to privacy laws.

  25. Re:Student Energy Units on Low Energy Supercomputing · · Score: 1

    How much is that in electron volts?
