    Problem is, it barely lasts 80 years and that's why you see so many news stories of bridges failing since they're not bothering to replace them

  6. Re:Make a list on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Preserve a "Digital Inheritance"? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Posting here should be fine. The total intelligence on Slashdot has been constant. However, the population is increasing.

  12. Why build? You're better off leasing on Ask Slashdot: What Would You Include In a New Building? · · Score: 1

    First of all, you have to grease the local politicians for the sudden zoning problems that always come up. Then there's the kickbacks to the carpenters. And if you plan on using any cement in this building I'm sure the teamsters would like to have a little chat with you, and that'll cost you. Don't forget a little something for the building inspectors. There's the long-term costs, such as waste disposal. I don't know if you're familiar with who runs that business but I assure you it's not the boy scouts.

  13. Re:Absolutely not. on Can Anyone Become a Programmer? · · Score: 1

    The sum of all IQ's on the planet is constant. The problem is, the population is increasing.

  15. Re:Here be no surprises on Obama and Romney Respond To ScienceDebate.org Questionnaire · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Anyone who refers to workers as "Human Capital" like Romney does in the first answer (and on his website) has no connection to normal humans.

    Google+: Missing People

  23. Units Fail on IBM Optical Chip Moves Data At 1Tbps · · Score: 1

    Please make the units at least comparable. It's bad enough to measure data SIZE in "HD movies" (or LoC's), but then saying its equal to a data RATE without saying how long that might take is just wrong.

  24. Re:People really were sued on Ask Slashdot: Who Has Been Sued By the RIAA? · · Score: 5, Funny

    We apologize for the fault in the parent post. Those responsible have been sacked.

  25. Kids user accounts on Children Used To Steal Parents' Data · · Score: 2

    How many two year olds know what a "login" is? Mine does. And my four year old has had one since she was little too. I dont let them use my account. They know how to switch to theirs and even (rightly, I guess) get mad when anyone doesn't use their own login. On the Mac, there's a pretty good whitelist of websites and you need admin privs to allow new applications to run.
