    There's a record 7.6 million square miles of ice pack in Antarctica this year, but no, we need to measure it melting.

  4. Re:apt-get remove on Debian's Systemd Adoption Inspires Threat of Fork · · Score: 1

    You can't do apt-get -f remove systemd because apt-get is a child process of systemd and doesn't have permission, and even if you could do it, your system would hang because systemd is the absolute root process.

  5. Re:It's a bird, it's plane, it's......a chair? on More Eye Candy Coming To Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    We're talking about the same company that put Mr. Clippy on Word 97 with no way to turn him off.

    Oh noes, the NSA knows I "like" this or that picture of a puppy. It's the end of privacy was we know it.

    I used Unity for about five minutes maybe, long enough to go with MATE instead.

  9. Re:Yay :D on If You're Connected, Apple Collects Your Data · · Score: 2

    Desktop Linux will be at a disadvantage? As in, revenues will be halved? What?

    If an erroneous belief is a brain pattern I'd like to see the brain patterns of people who believe there are brain patterns.

  11. Re:That will include badmouthing politicans on In UK, Internet Trolls Could Face Two Years In Jail · · Score: 0

    Little is more boring to me than stories about countries that don't have a fundamental guarantee of free speech quailing under laws that curtail free speech.

  12. Re:Overly broad? on Soda Pop Damages Your Cells' Telomeres · · Score: 4, Funny

    Next they'll go, "People who consume quantities of glucose in Snickers bars and donuts equivalent to drinking a bunch of soda pop daily also have diabetes and short telemeres. Never mind!"

  13. Re:Ouch on NASA Cancels "Sunjammer" Solar Sail Demonstration Mission · · Score: -1, Troll

    NASA is tasked for Muslim outreach to make them feel better after putting infidel footprints all over their moon god.

  14. Re:Or gamblers are masochists. on Brain Patterns Give Clues To Why Some People Just Keep Gambling · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There's no brain patterns involved at all, it's a simple delusion rooted in statistical bias. You only remember the good times when you won, and you erase the bad times when you lost. So you think the casino is a money tree. And thus casinos pay their light bill. That's also why people play Powerball, they only hear stories about the people who hit the jackpot, never stories about not hitting it.

  15. Re:16 minutes and counting on Watch Comet Siding Spring's Mars Fly-By, Live · · Score: 1

    All the Mars based assets are putting in the Nikes, drinking the grape Kool Aid, and preparing to shed their containers and join the mothership tracking behind the comet.

    Sure, the Ribbon was designed for the future too, not the past, it's super keen, just like the Edsel.

  18. Re:Region-Specific on India Successfully Launches Region-Specific Navigation Satellite · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Suppose Jupiter perturbs it a hunnert meters or so off-station, how does the satellite know and compensate? Oh, yeah, it pings the American GPS!

    The walkers won't go rogue until the other problem of an aging workforce, falling tax receipts, is addressed by forcing the walkers to pony up their fair share...

    Ah yes, the old "Mr. Tesla invented a way to power cars from atmospheric electricity, but Standard Oil shut him down."

  24. Re:TL;DR on The Physics of Why Cold Fusion Isn't Real · · Score: 2

    When I actually RTFA it mentioned muon-catalyzed cold fusion, which was being bandied about at the time of the Fleischmann and Pons debacle. Twenty-five years later, still nada. Probably because muons have a half-life of just a couple microseconds. You might be able to do it to hydrogen atoms onesy twosies, but try scaling it up.

  25. Re:Linux never focused on anything on Torvalds: I Made Community-Building Mistakes With Linux · · Score: 2

    Your Lego idea really is apparent with Point Linux, which is my current 'stro of choice. I needed something that would fit on a 4.3 gig HD and Lubtuntu and Xubuntu wanted at least 4.6 to install. It doesn't even come with a default browser. You just install what you want in the usual way. You gotta get this thing.
