What tha fuck does this have to do with a slash and a dot? or a pound and bang for that matter? WTF?? How the fuck is this news for nerds? What the fuck is happening to Slashdot lately? Useless unrelated political crap and Google bashing is about all you find these days.
Yeah, so you really should stop reading the articles. And posting about them, especially stop posting about them.
If I can spot a major typo in the summary 2 seconds after seeing it for the first time ("Litesqaured" in this case) the you are not doing your fucking job.
It's pretty clear that you're OK with minor typos.
Same here, if only the days were longer. We need to find some way to slow the rotation of the earth.
That sounds like a lot of work, and I'm pretty tired.
IGNORANT PEOPLE with internet access.
100 years ago, ignorance spread rather slowly. Today, you can convince 1000 people of some bullshit in a matter of seconds.
I'll buy that.
It blows my mind how the most insightful post in the entire discussion is a 1, but immediately below it, some ignoramus screaming "FIRE HIM IMMEDIATELY!!1" is modded up to 5, Insightful.
I must be new around here.
I think the root cause is that the sentence "Competant people often have to fake credentials to get decent jobs." encapsulates everything that decent human beings hate about corporate America. Those of us that are competent AND have the proper credentials (and the resultant student loan debt) tend to be a little upset when this kind of thing happens. The spelling error adds just the right amount of "fuck you".
The whole thing reminds me of the guy that speeds past a line of cars by using the shoulder. Of course he gets away with it, and gets to where he's going an hour before the rest of us.
1) Send a message, "Hello, are you out there?" 2) 200 years later..., "Yes we are, is there something we can help you with?" 3) 200 years later..., "Can you give us the secret to faster than light travel?" 4) 200 years later..., "Obviously not." Total time: 800 years.
I forgot (5).
5) 200 years later..., "Ok, never mind then."
Now the total time is 800 years.
At least it them a way to write Charlie out of the show.
I think you a word there, champ!
There's no counter argument to that.
There's always a counter argument.
If you fill the potholes, property values would go up, and with them property taxes. I am firmly against your plan to raise taxes. You must be some sort of democrat.
Psychological addiction was unaffected of course. Sit at computer, sip energy drink, right?
FWIW I've been working on a serious diet-soda addiction. As in diet soda was my primary source of fluids every day of the week.
I bought a "Primo Flavorstation" from Loews - it lets you carbonate tap water. They want you to buy syrups as a make-your-own-soda thing. But I've found that simply carbonated water does it for me about 90% of the time (and all of the syrups I've tried taste like shit).
There is another brand out there - Sodastream. But sodastream sucks because they booby-trap their co2 tanks to force you to buy refils from them at ~$25 a tank (and their new units have half-size tanks too). The Primo takes standard paintball tanks, so you can refill the cansister for about $3 at almost any sports store (I use the sports authority that is just down the block from me). Primo also wants to sell you $25 refills, but they don't try to force you - only give you BS about "food grade" co2, which is no different from any other kind of non-medical co2.
I have a Sodastream. The refills are actually more like $15 (still quite a bit higher than $3, but I didn't even know that Primo Flavorstation existed when I bought it). I'm sure the syrups for Sodastream are compatible with your machine, and some of them aren't terrible. The Cola one is pretty good (and it uses real sugar!). Stay away from the Red Bull one though, it truly is nasty.
As far as food-grade CO2 goes. BS it may well be, but I once worked for a company that used bulk CO2 as a key ingredient for some of its processing. They had to pay more for the food-grade, because the process engineers claimed that it was necessary. I'm not a process engineer though, so I don't really know.
You didn't rip off that tag on your mattress did you? Big brother has interests in your bedroom.
Just so you know, it is perfectly legal for the end-user to rip the tag off the mattress. The tag is only there for the middle handlers (e.g. wholesaler, retailer, etc). It cannot be legally removed until the customer receives the product.
In this case, it is actually to protect the consumer by disclosing the materials used in the mattress, primarily "all new" versus "recycled".
The sad truth is that Big Brother is much more covert in its interests in your bedroom.
I expect the only real-world application would be financial companies trying to squeeze a few more nanoseconds off NYC-London communications.
At the rates the automated trades occur, that would be a big enough deal to destroy the whole market.
Um right. The head of physics at LHEP is a yahoo? But the guy on Slashdot is a genius.
I would have believed him if his ID were lower. Anyone over 900000 is clearly an idiot and can't be trusted at all. Am I right?
You left out the fact that terrorism is so rare that even if they worked as described, the machines would kill more people than they save.
Yeah, but not all at once.
You have a message from the operator.
