While the IS stuff is rather a hot news item, I do not agree that slashdot is really the place for it. One of the reasons I look at Slashdot is to get a nice newsfeed without 5 items per day about wild muslims.
Damn! There goes my new article about about "Emacs or Vi? Which do wild Muslims prefer?"
While I do not fall on the recorded Autism spectrum. The way they make Sheldon would be very insulting to people with these problems.
While having Asperger's can bring some problems it can also bring strengths and pleasures (e.g. Aspie "special interests" can be great fun, almost like being in love, but with a topic rather than a person). I wouldn't refer to Asperger's simplistically as a "problem". It is a condition with problems and advantages - and also some differences that are just plain neutral.
Referring to the autism spectrum as unqualified "problems" is part of the problem. Asperger's isn't a defect, it is a difference with positives and negatives.
PS: quite a few people on the spectrum think Sheldon is great. At least we get a vaguely recognisable Aspie character who has some strengths (genius, can be very generous with money) and obvious weaknesses (not all of which are core Aspie weaknesses - e.g. his narcissism is more Sheldon than Aspie).
Given this, dogs are probably better judges of people than we are.
Clearly dogs should be employed in recruitment departments.
Apache Struts, Tomcat, and elasticsearch (mentioned in the summary) are all written in java.
To me, that indicates a JAVA vulnerability, not a Linux vulnerability.

Design, but looking at a dachshund, I wouldn't use the term "intelligent".
Of course it is intelligent design: the annoying dogs are all short and cannot run fast. That makes it easier to get away from them. Would you want a dachshund that could run like a greyhound?
I always walk around outside looking at the ground (don't like the sight of moving people).
Google isn't going to film my face from space - at least, not until they cover the ground with mirrors.
And it's true we should not have to do crap like this to use our netflix accounts!
Now, try doing that outside the US, where you are also blocked because of location, not just OS.
The article suggests that Arch will be the first distribution to have 3.16, but Gentoo got there before it,
Reminds me of a kindergarten: "I was first! No, me! But I did it before you!"
Now, children, why can't we all play nicely?
Agreed. Without geany there, this comparison is not very useful. Whenever I was using Linux, I missed notepad++, until I found out about geany.
You know, Notepad++ will run perfectly fine in Linux under Wine. It isn't that hard to install and use. I have Notepad++ and TextPad on my Linux desktop right now.
The Linux police don't come and arrest you if you install your favourite Windows programs in Linux.
Of the winners in computing, those that won because of technical merit are swarmed by those that won for other reasons.
Things win because they are "good enough", for a "reasonable enough" price, at the right time - but it helps if they are being pushed by a ruthless, anti-competitive monster monopoly.
How come your neighbor New Zealand can do better?
Because we haven't worked out yet how to lure Tony Abbott across the Tasman (and leave him there).
The Death Star proved that. Overwhelming support. Brushed under the rug. This administration is a joke.
They should have asked Tesla to build Death Stars
So now we could breed up a strain of highly intelligent chimpanzees by selecting new parents from the highest scoring chimps?
Nope. That was on the Internet. That is completely different.
Yeah, the Internet's nothing to do with computers
in the form of a vaccine?
Vaccines cause neurotypicality - you heard it here first!
