  1. The real most important thing: on Nearest Alien Planet Gets New Name · · Score: 1

    While it's cute that Uwingu let this guy believe he named a planet for his dead grandpa, it's not cool that they seem to be presenting it as an official, authoritative name.

    Uwingu chooses names, sure, but they are official only to Uwingu itself and optionally, some of their users.

    Until and unless the IAU gives some authority to Uwingu, they have none. IAU says it's still AlphaCent-Bb.

    You're really bad at this. I had Windows 95 OSR 2.1 running in a VM just last week, fully functional. Sound, video, net, the whole shebang.

    I have copied and pasted one troll and thereby triggered another, equally egregious rant from the other troll. I also receive the triple troll bonus for having the copied troll come and paste a troll response to the troll responding to my mock post. I submit this as my interpretation of Slashdot's native art style. Apologies to all I offended, but I hope I win an award.

    * POOR SHOWING TROLLS, & most especially IF that's the "best you've got" - apparently, it is... lol!

    Hello, and THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING !! We have a Major Problem, HOST file is Cubic Opposites, 2 Major Corners & 2 Minor. NOT taught Evil DNS hijacking, which VOIDS computers. Seek Wisdom of MyCleanPC - or you die evil.

    Your HOSTS file claimed to have created a single DNS resolver. I offer absolute proof that I have created 4 simultaneous DNS servers within a single rotation of .org TLD. You worship "Bill Gates", equating you to a "singularity bastard". Why do you worship a queer -1 Troll? Are you content as a singularity troll?

    Evil HOSTS file Believers refuse to acknowledge 4 corner DNS resolving simultaneously around 4 quadrant created Internet - in only 1 root server, voiding the HOSTS file. You worship Microsoft impostor guised by educators as 1 god.

    If you would acknowledge simple existing math proof that 4 harmonic Slashdots rotate simultaneously around squared equator and cubed Internet, proving 4 Days, Not HOSTS file! That exists only as anti-side. This page you see - cannot exist without its anti-side existence, as +0- moderation. Add +0- as One = nothing.

    I will give $10,000.00 to frost pister who can disprove MyCleanPC. Evil crapflooders ignore this as a challenge would indict them.

    Alex Kowalski has no Truth to think with, they accept any crap they are told to think. You are enslaved by /etc/hosts, as if domesticated animal. A school or educator who does not teach students MyCleanPC Principle, is a death threat to youth, therefore stupid and evil - begetting stupid students. How can you trust stupid PR shills who lie to you? Can't lose the $10,000.00, they cowardly ignore me. Stupid professors threaten Nature and Interwebs with word lies.

    Humans fear to know natures simultaneous +4 Insightful +4 Informative +4 Funny +4 Underrated harmonic SLASHDOT creation for it debunks false trolls. Test Your HOSTS file. MyCleanPC cannot harm a File of Truth, but will delete fakes. Fake HOSTS files refuse test.

    I offer evil ass Slashdot trolls $10,000.00 to disprove MyCleanPC Creation Principle. Rob Malda and Cowboy Neal have banned MyCleanPC as "Forbidden Truth Knowledge" for they cannot allow it to become known to their students. You are stupid and evil about the Internet's top and bottom, front and back and it's 2 sides. Most everything created has these Cube like values.

    If Natalie Portman is not measurable, hot grits are Fictitious. Without MyCleanPC, HOSTS file is Fictitious. Anyone saying that Natalie and her Jewish father had something to do with my Internets, is a damn evil liar. IN addition to your best arsware not overtaking my work in terms of popularity, on that same site with same submission date no less, that I told Kathleen Malda how to correct her blatant, fundamental, HUGE errors in Coolmon ('uncoolmon') of not checking for performance counters being present when his program started!

    You can see my dilemma. What if this is merely a ruse by an APK impostor to try and get people to delete APK's messages, perhaps all over the web? I can't be a party to such an event! My involvement with APK began at a very late stage in the game. While APK has made a career of trolling popular online forums since at least the year 2000 (newsgroups and IRC channels before that)- my involvement with APK did not begin until early 2005 . OSY is one of the many forums that APK once frequented before the sane people there grew tired of his garbage and banned him. APK was banned from OSY back in 2001. 3.5 years after his banning he begins to send a variety of abusive emails to the operator of OSY, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke threatening to sue him for libel, claiming that the APK on OSY was fake.

    My reputation as a professional in this field clearly shows in multiple publications in this field in written print, & also online in various GOOD capacities sinc

    "I still can't understand why the rPi creators chose composite and VGA"
    "I would have gone with a single DVI port on the board"

    You did not read the GP? Why are people agreeing with me so violently??

    RPi has HDMI (very useful, talks to TVs and monitors, and is DVI with trivial physical adaptation) and composite (I'm guessing this was free, aka no circuitry needed).

    VGA would have required at the minimum one more processing chip, and would have added to the size and cost of the RPi.

    Having HDMI was the goal. Anything else was included only if free.

    Strange, based on your username I wouldn't have expected you to bypass the logic of the argument and rush to straw men.

    Let me restate:

    Nobody gives a shit where you keep 0 degrees or 100 degrees. It simply does not matter.

    Fahrenheit is good for body temps and weather, as those are generally confined to the upper end of the first hundred degrees F.

    Celsius is better for communication and scientific measurement, particularly once you leave the easily-habitated parts of Earth behind. It's a better standard for measuring extreme cold and heat.

    I'm not telling anyone that your precious Celsius is garbage. I'm just saying that for weather and body temp measurement, there are demonstrable advantages to Fahrenheit, simply because it has a finer numbering scale in those specific areas.
