Too soon.

Too soon.
How are Finnigan's comments trolling? She was expressing her (arguably ill-informed) opinion.
Follow-up:
Apparently, though, the people who come up with Slashdot headlines don't know that:
Soda Pop Damages Your Cells' Telomeres
That's not the conclusion of the paper.
Correlation does not imply causation
We know that. The people who wrote the paper know that too.
Show me the causative process, please.
Why don't you show me the causative process?
Or is no-one allowed to make a scientific observation unless they can also immediately explain it, too?
l don't think it's too bad.
l quite like it.
l think you're making it up!
And weren't serifs only invented to stop movable type blocks from breaking too easily?
Here's why, most likely, they always will.
Most likely? Well, that's not exactly unequivocal, is it?
"Most likely" sounds like just the right place for astonishing science to (just possibly, probably not, but who knows?) surprise us.
And I say this to point out one simple fact: there have been claims of cold fusion, but none of them have ever stood up under the scrutiny of the above definition of good science.
Disclaimer: I didn't read the article, but this bit jumped out at me.
Crazy claims of a particular phenomenon never stand up under scrutiny - until the first one does. Yes, cold fusion has been a long time coming, and may never, but just because no-one's got it right it yet is not a great reason to say never.
I don't get it.
Oh, wait a minute...
A preponderance of the people.
As Pete Porter in Pasadena precisely put it.
(disclaimer: I already knew what OpenStack is)
If you can't afford to waste the six extra words it would take to say "open-source cloud computing platform..." how about a Wikipedia link? It's what hypertext is for, after all.
"Hurr, if you don't know what OpenStack is, you shouldn't be on Slashdot!"
will no doubt be the refrain of some. Well, what's wrong with informing those who don't know? Or are we still supposed to jealously guard the Secret Knowledge?
An inclusively written or well-linked summary is not an insult to anyone's intelligence or level of knowledge.
Seconded. I was expecting cheesy space horror, but was pleasantly surprised.
What censorship? Is anyone forced to submit/receive pieces only to/from the press office?
Fuck everything, we're doing five tiers.
Docker heavily relies on linux kernel features
...which you can make available to Docker on Windows as per the instructions here, and which in any case probably won't be the situation now that they've partnered with Microsoft...
and on a stable base OS
How does Docker "rely [...] on a stable base OS" any more than any other piece of software (several million of which run perfectly well on Windows)?
improve flow on the runways and save nearly 100 pounds of fuel for each aircraft.
100 pounds of fuel, or 100 pounds of fuel?
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
