Slashdot is not a community of the general public. We assume a certain level of shared understanding regarding computers, technology, gaming, etc. You fall outside that community in at least one area. You don't go to photography sites and ask "What does ISO stand for in this article? Why don't you define it when using it in article summaries?" do you?
If "having different beliefs" isn't enough to call them different religions then I guess we just disagree on what makes a religion. Catholics and Baptists are *technically* both "Christian" but they are *very* different. Nether would really consider each other part of the same religion.
And if the Mormon church baptized him without his consent then you could call him a Mormon too by their rules. Other people don't get to declare what *your* religion is. Only a Muslim would consider him to be an apostate Muslim.
By any reasonable definition Obama is not a Muslim. By Muslim rules he is an apostate Muslim. Once someone repeats the 'call to prayer' (a declaration of faith) they are a Muslim. Obama explicitly says he did, in his autobiography. If they backslide they are an apostate Muslim and by Sharia law should be punished by, at minimum, amputation of one arm and one leg.
Actually the punishment depends on which sect of Islam you talk to. Or did you make the mistake of thinking Islam was a single religion like most Americans do?
Pffft! Mr. "critical thinking skills" wants us all to define our terms guys! Lets laugh at him derisively while we continue to argue past each other and never come to an understanding.
They *are*... Not sure how you meant that. The current "liberal democrat" in the executive office has a Nobel Peace Prize and has assassinated two US citizens.
Zuckerberg isn't dumb. *HE* probably would have read the article before posting and realized this is about mobile apps and not the main Facebook.com web site.
Linux suffers from diversity... Seriously - it's a bad thing sometimes. If you want Linux to succeed on the desktop then take one distro and kill the others. It won't matter which - just so long as there's one. People will bitch and complain but it would simplify *everything* (package management, sound systems, GUI layout and functionality, etc.).
When sound isn't working you shouldn't first have to figure out which of the myriad sound systems you're using. When you want to install an application from a site you shouldn't need to figure out how to convert RPMs to.DEB or tgz's.
The community can't consolidate around a single path forward. This is what happens when there is no clear leadership. And this is exactly the way the community likes and it and why it will continue to be third-rate as a desktop platform.
This is the thing. There *are* times when choice is a bad thing. I think we'd be much better off with one *bad* sound system than 4 competing ones. Seriously - I'm a linux geek and I have trouble just getting sound to work sometimes (and having multiplexing). WTF?
I travel a lot too - and wanted one device not two.:-)
I use Subsonic for all my music. Let it cache all it can locally on my phone (with an enormous micro SD card) over wifi/3G. Never have to 'sync'. Can't do any of that with an mp3 player...
We're mostly in agreement. What I'm "insistent on" is not saying the old cliche "bitcoin is insecure!" when it's really "bitcoin exchanges are insecure!" There's a world of difference in that phrasing. If your scammed on eBay it's not the fault of the US Dollar - it's the fault of the person who scammed you.
Bitcoin itself *works* (or at least has so far). I really rather hope it becomes very popular. And these exchanges need to get their shit in gear for that to happen.

Allow me to define what you are: troll. That's why your "other account" is unusable due to mod points.

Well, next time there is an article about "computers" we'll be sure to explain what those are in the summary for you then.
If you're on /. and don't know what NPC is, or how to find out, you're probably not the target audience here.
The "browser" doesn't "have" GET and POST. Those are used in the HTML forms. You can use PUT and DELETE just fine - but nobody does.
Right? I had to read it a few times to make sense of it. I'm still not quite clear on what HSTS has to do with HTTP/2.0...

Ha ha!
I'm much more "butthurt" over his flagrant violation of the US constitution actually. The Nobel just makes it "irony."
No - I don't mean "as opposed to Henry Kissinger." You brought him up. Not sure why. Complete non-sequitur....

Never before have there been forced upgrades or features dropped from applications! Outrage!
Replying to remove accidental downmod.
That's how you do it. You kill one of us, we kill 5 of yours. If you're gonna do a mob, er, patent war do it right!
Is "Nokia" what the kids are calling "Google" and "Samsung" now?
Obviously Wikipedia would be better served if Jimbo lived the life of a pauper and died penniless in the streets.
Can we get a +6 mod?

How do you get her to use the VM rather than the host OS?
It's also why the "no GMO" and "organic" people are part of the problem. Lower food yields means more land needed to grow food, higher prices, etc.
