  1. Re: Death of Slashdot? on Illinois Politician Wants a Kill Switch For Anonymous Speech Online · · Score: 2

    That's not what left means. Left means giving the government control and making "society" responsible. Right means giving the population control and making the individual responsible.

    Are they going to start telling us to RTFM?

    Yes. They're fucking rapists. Only only Slashdot would we defend rapists.

    They both deserve the electric chair.

    No, it's a meteoroid that hits. This is seen as a meteor. Upon contact you are correct, it's a meteorite.

    One of them was wrong. The other - well just you wait and see.

    Off topic. Is that whole building a McDonalds? It's enormous!

    Also, what do people think of the "isometric" display on Google Maps/Earth when zoomed in?

    19-inch versus 21 inch?

    So about a 10% difference? 45*110%=??

  10. Re:It is not 6 on Lab Rats Given "Sixth Sense" · · Score: 1

    I don't know. I'd understand it for a newspaper article, but this is the type of thing that nearly every Slashdotter knows. The story submitters and editors seem to be a different population than the commenters.

    It seems we get the idiots to chose and edit the story, and get the slightly smarter idiots to make the comments.

  11. Re:It is not 6 on Lab Rats Given "Sixth Sense" · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure that temperature sensation in humans is actually directed detecting EM energy. But I couldn't actually find out much about how thermoreceptors work.

    Apparently there are six different heat sensitive channels (Trp) in the membranes of the thermoreceptor, which at certain temperatures let ions into the cell, triggering an action potential. Some of these are activated by capsaican, which is why chili feels hot.

  13. Re:Paid pornography and coercion on Iceland Considers Internet Porn Ban · · Score: 1

    Paid sex, filmed or not, is not a normal job and it is insulting to compare the miseries of your desk job to the degradations of a sex worker.

    Yeah, getting to have sex all day sounds horrible. Writing banal SQL queries sounds like much more fun.

  14. Re:Just tax it? on Iceland Considers Internet Porn Ban · · Score: 1

    Because it's the internet. You can't tax someone if they don't operate a business in your country. And you shouldn't be able to.

  16. Re:Have it, Hate it. on Woz Says iPhone Features Are 'Behind' · · Score: 1

    But it's pretty much a definition of wasted energy. If you're forced to use crappy software at work, so what? Everyone else is too.

    Having a bit of a complain can be cathartic. It's an easy conversation starter at a workplace.

    If you maintain your line of thought, every Slashdot article would be a waste of energy. The comments are just a bunch of complaints about things that complaining about won't fix, and commenting would be just wasting tim... actually you're right.

  17. Re:Not this again. on When 1 GB Is Really 0.9313 Gigabytes · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen the American education system is actually quite good for high achievers. Who cares if he uses an alternate way of writing "no-one"?

    Where are you from?

    I really pity people with your arrogance and narrowmindedness.

  18. Re:New way to get software made cheap on Mega Vulnerability Reward Program Starts Payouts: 7 Bugs Fixed In First Week · · Score: 3, Informative

    1. Pay unskilled programmers little money to quickly turn out software.
    2. Release software you know is completely buggy and insecure.
    3. Offer bounty for better programmers to find bugs at overall cheaper rate.

    Actually the majority of software development doesn't bother with #3.

    "And you thought Steve Jobs was cool."

    What. The. Fuck. Is this a troll comment? Who the hell submitted this? g01d4? Did you write that comment? If so, you're going to be a first and last time accepted contributor. Or was it Timothy, who is a geek in "weird glasses" only? Does he believe this, or is it just comment bait?

    No-one thinks Steve Jobs is cool, except the douchiest of Apple fanatics. He wore sneakers and jeans and black turtleneck. That is not cool.
