    A hot piece of dead animal

    That's no way to talk about your wife

  2. Re:Do not what? on Microsoft Reaffirms Default Do-Not-Track For IE10, Windows 8 Express Setup · · Score: 1

    NoScript and Adblock alone won't stop people tracking you. You need to control cookies as well, and I'm not sure even that is enough. This plugin at least gives you a clue if you are being monitored

  3. Re:Someone explain to me... on This Is What Wall Street's Terrifying Robot Invasion Looks Like · · Score: 1

    Can anyone recommend some fundamental reading to understand the stock market in general? This all seems rather important but none of it means anything to me.

  4. Re:I've always admired peoples' commitment on Free Software PS2 Emulator PCSX2 Hits 1.0 · · Score: 1

    - you needed to track down the original machine to dump the ROMs (or grab them illegally, of course), and if you were willing to do that then you may as well use the real machine.

    Surely everyone just downloaded them illegally, making this a non-impediment.

  5. cue pouting on ReactOS Presented To Russian President Putin · · Score: 2

    Putin responded to the presentation by stating he would think on it.

    Awwwwwww, that always means no!

  7. Re:Good. on Australian Agency Rules Facebook Pages Responsible For Comments · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because that way everyone has to wait 12 hours to post a comment, rendering realtime conversation impossible, and facebook have to run a (maybe impossibly) massive moderation team to process every single post, whereas the other way they have a much smaller team that just responds to complaints/flags from other users.

  8. A proud people on Tokelau Becomes First Country To Go 100% Solar · · Score: 1

    Hail, hail Tokelau, a land I didn't make up!

  9. Re:Had to restart because there on South Korea To Restart Its Oldest Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 2

    Americans are fat

    What's that got to do with anything?

    High efficiency standards(whether legislated for, or voluntarily adopted by a better educated populace) would help mitigate a lot of the harm, but the simple fact is population growth shits all over any efficiency gains. By far the simplest and most effective way to combat environmental disruption is to reduce the population. Perhaps some kind of incentive - like if you get to 60 and have had 2 or less kids, you get a free pension or something.

    The optimal solution is to just come up with better ways of generating more power, and that is difficult and expensive, but I think ultimately worth it.

    Why would the shark be in orbit? It's the subject that jumps, not the shark.

    it still stupid

    why?

    unnecessary

    you have to delimit code blocks somehow, if it weren't this it would be curly braces or something else

    potentially problematic

    But not problematic in practice.

  12. Re:The people's lobby on Web Giants Form US Internet Lobby Group · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's the only way to change things. Bribe them to pass anti-corruption laws. It would have to be implemented slowly, like boiling frogs, in much the same way the general population has been trained to accept massive blatant corruption.

  13. The people's lobby on Web Giants Form US Internet Lobby Group · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If laws are bought by the lobbiest with the most cash, why not start kickstarter campaigns for various sensible laws and see if we can outbid the corporations. Some laws are bought with surprisingly desultory amounts of cash. Not that's it's a particularly important law, but as an example i bet if you started a kickstarter to lobby for the legalisation of cannabis, you'd get millions. And for the abolition of the TSA.

  14. Re:Intelligently designed on Kepler Spots "Perfectly Aligned" Alien Worlds · · Score: 1

    this is a piss-take

    Yes, an utterly pathetic one. The kind of witless yammering you'd expect from a 14 year old.

    I'm no fan of religion, but this kind of empty sneering does nothing to promote the adoption of reason.

  15. Re:Lousy summary on The HP Memristor Debate · · Score: 2

    From looking at the diagram in TFA i'm just going to assume that they should have called it a flux capacitor.

  16. Re:Ha ha he he on Linux 3.5 Released · · Score: 1

    You're just doing the same thing again. The word "worship" has lost all meaning in this context. "Regard as reliable" is not the definition of "worship".

  17. Re:Slashdot has been losing users !! on Facebook Loses Users, Satisfaction Higher at Google+ · · Score: 2

    It looks like a steady rate of visits with one unexplained giant spike for a month near the beginning, rather than a downward trend. I wonder what caused the traffic to double a year ago. I don't remember anything particular than happened then.

    But no matter how I juggled the constants, I couldn't get it to result in "carefully" being spelt correctly. So I thought fuck it, it's good enough.

    Amateur hour. 13.7 billion years ago I created the universe with carfeully chosen initial conditions to result in this post appearing on slashdot at this precise moment.

    Yup, that was exactly what I was looking for. Used to have it taped off the telly in the very early 80's when I was about 6. I watched it again in my early 20's and remember finding the smashed off milk carton joke quite hilarious

    ARM holdings isn't a manufacturer, they're a design company that license the architecture to many manufacturers.

    this association of "all" BT traffic with illegal downloading is preventing BT from being more widely utilized for legitimate uses
