  1. That's 1513 km/h (or 420 m/s) and 16.8 km.

    According to NASA's mach speed calculator, that's Mach 1.42.

    So then what's new?

  3. Re:Link broken? on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 1

    This is clearly a styling to match dice.com

    Yikes. You aren't kidding.

  4. Re:FUCK OFF on Middle-Click Paste? Not For Long · · Score: 1

    Seriously guys, if you want MacOS just buy a fucking Mac and stop breaking shit in Linux.

    Or, better yet, contribute to GNUstep.

  6. Re:Goodbye Windows on Valve Officially Launches Steam For Linux · · Score: 1

    You don't have to wait for every game under the sun to be ported

    Frankly, I expect most, if not all, Solaris games are already supported on Linux.
    *ducks*

  7. Users who experience failures when they try to pla on Users Abandon Ship If Online Video Quality Is Not Up To Snuff, Says Study · · Score: 2

    Users who experience failures when they try to play videos are less likely to return to the same website in the future.

    Take note, Slashdot.

  8. Re:Not About Flash on Eben Moglen Talks About Free Software in the Second of Two Video Interviews · · Score: 1

    Cross-platform. It's in the Debian repository, possibly others.

    To "stream" (in mplayer, by default):
    $ get_flash_videos --play "$slashdot_url"

    Seriously, why isn't Slashdot using Flowplayer or another "HTML5-first" player? Even YouTube would do...

    Grab that spare Model M, some duct tape, and presto: The keys to the Lamborghini!

    PS. Why the hell is this video unlisted? Made it really hard to find.

  11. Re:Don't Be Evil on Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace To Google: Don't Be Evil · · Score: 1

    Seriously, who actually uses google to find fb and twitter posts when those sites have their own search?

    Please go to twitter.com and facebook.com, and, not having registered and logged in or visited another account, tell me how to search for posts or pages.
    If I'm looking to quickly find out what Joe Celebrity or Company A is up to, I'm not going to register and log in when I can just type their name into my browser's search bar.

    That said, if Twitter and Facebook refuse to make their public data available to Google for free, why do they expect Google to link to them beyond indexing links to their accounts found elsewhere on the web?
    Also, I'd like to see a fake account (on a site for which the person is not registered) be picked up by this bookmarklet and advertised like a legitimate link just because it's on page 10.

  12. Re:JUST lobbying is fine on White House Petition To Investigate Dodd For Bribery · · Score: 1

    Exactly. If we are to celebrate the efforts of Google and Wikipedia in the anti-SOPA protest, it is only fair that all organizations be given the same right (even if that includes the MPAA, RIAA, etc.).
    The blackout was proof that non-financial lobbying can be effective. Kickback lobbying, however, is bullshit.

    How exactly do you intend to get only good police? It's impossible.

    Firing the (proven) bad ones can't hurt.

    It's easy to think the worst of humanity when you don't actually interact with it.

    And even easier when you do.

  19. Re:You can have it, hackers on Critical Vulnerability In Adobe Reader · · Score: 1

    You mean you are actually able to view text? And I thought it was a privilege to wait thirty seconds for a partial interface of some sort to display, followed by a crashed web browser.

    Probably not a better video, but the song is.

  22. Re:Firefox 3 Beta 5? Really? on Ubuntu 8.04 Released · · Score: 1

    KDE 4 *should* still be in beta from my experience
    IIRC, the sole reason KDE 4 is out of beta is to encourage development on it. The general feeling I've been getting is that 4.1 is to be considered the proper release.

    Quite literally.
  24. Re:What I do on What's the Best Way to Recycle Old Tech in the US? · · Score: 1

    Now what do you classify as proper disposal?
    Where I work, most of it goes into the dumpster anyway. We take out the valuable stuff (copper, mostly) and chuck the rest. Really, computer boxes (and UPS batteries) are the only thing that might get recycled properly...don't know what they do with it at the metal scrapyard.
