Comment Re:Fascism vs. Socialism: false dichotomy (Score 2, Informative) 752

Bullshit. The German Workers' Party renamed themselves the National Socialist German Workers' Party to capitalize on the popularity of socialism in Weimar Germany. They were never remotely "left-wing". Their primary political opponents prior to taking power in 1933 were the Social Democratic Party of Germany, the most popular left-wing party in pre-war Germany.

Good point. Looks like the executable is only 135K or so. Still enormous compared to the original 8K ROM, and more than twice the size of the Farbrausch emulator. Guess most of that overhead goes to interfacing with the host OS, but it still intuitively seems a little excessive.

Submission + - Scientists and Theorists Respond to Chris Anderson (edge.org)

uhlume writes: "Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson's recent polemical essay, 'The End of Theory: The Data Deluge Makes the Scientific Method Obsolete,' sparked impassioned (and occasionally bemused) response from Slashdot readers when it landed here on Slashdot last week. Many dismissed Anderson's polemic as little more than a journalistic stunt, a manufactured controversy to attract attention to himself and the magazine. Even so, the questions his essay raises are, if divisively stated, arguably worth addressing on their own merits.

In this week's edition of Edge magazine, Edge brings together several notable scientists and science writers from among The Reality Club — George Dyson, Kevin Kelly, Stewart Brand, Danny Hillis, Sean Carroll, Jaron Lanier and Joseph Traub — to weigh in with their own responses to Anderson's essay. As usual, the results are thought-provoking, and well worth reading."

More Voting Shenanigans in Florida 680

stewwy writes "It looks like the the shenanigans have started already, the Register is running a story about the difficulty early voters are having with casting votes for Democrats." From the article: "The touch-screen gizmos seem strangely attracted to Republican candidates. One voter needed assistance from an election official, and even then, needed three tries to convince the machine that he wanted to vote for Democrat Jim Davis in the gubernatorial race, not his Republican opponent Charlie Crist."
