Comment Re:What has happened to Slashdot? (Score 1) 425

Heard of political science, law science, and all that gobblygook? Slashdot is a site for nerds, the type of nerds that power this country. The type that go to work as politicians, and lawyers, it's all a science my friend and this site is geared toward all these types. Business and economics play a huge roll, too.

Also secretly technology trends flow from the military and it's actions.. All the best technology, companies incomes, R&D flows from the military and actions of the military.

Making this news worthy to the real powers that be, the real geeks, the real nerds.

Or are you just a consumer that doesn't get it?

What complete and utter rot. No, seriously. Utter tripe.

"Political Science" ? really?
"Law Science"? really?

People like you are why the word "Science" has completely lost its original meaning and is now effectively worthless as a word to describe what the word 'Science" really meant.

This article is not worthy of the Slashdot of old. It is in no way shape or form, "news for nerds, stuff that matters".

I miss Old Slashdot.

If you have a very rules-oriented IT department then military guys can fit right in, just don't ever think about assigning them to supervise any non-ex-military staff, it will blow up like a claymore.

So what you are saying is that if you have an ex-military staffer supervise non-military staff, then it will result in a quickly expanding cloud of gasses and steel ball bearings and fragments of claymore casing will fly in all directions, blowing body parts and shredded human flesh and blood in all directions until they splatter across the shattered walls and equipment in the room they were sitting in...

really? Are you sure about that?

The Chinese already developed ship killing missiles, making most large navy ships no better than targets. Unfortunately that won't change until you get the WW2-tactics trained admirals retired.

The answer to ship killing missiles is to never let your high value ships get within range of the missiles in the first place. A carrier battle group's power lies in its aircraft, which have a longer range than the missiles. Intelligence is key.

Recently released documents confirm that our then-president nixon committed treason, which directly resulted in the deaths of more than 20,000 US servicemen.

Death to Nixon for Treason!

Now where is he hiding....we must find him.....

Comment Re:Math Model + Intel CPU truncates math (Score 1) 77

Why is the European Weather Forecast more accurate than the American/USA Weather Forecast model? Also, Intel takes short cuts with their CPU. Intel CPU truncates the math and maybe taking other shortcuts.

You really are pretty clueless about this computing stuff.
Please stop posting about things you only have a vague understanding of. It's not a good look.

What's an on? I didn't even realize I had one.

Welcome to Western English for Speakers of Other Languages, I will be your affable tutor for this short session.
Lets begin:
I am going to assume that you are a male, for obvious reasons. What this means, is that you are not a female, therefore you are "not on" the female side. Now with some mental gymnastics, you can then figure out that you are therefore "on" the male side. If you do not understand this, please start reading my post again until you do.

Therefore, a female can be said to be "on" the female side, and "not on" the male side.

Thank you for joining me in this Western English short tutorial, remember to keep practicing, and try to speak and write English as much as possible to improve your English skills.

Have a Nice Day.

p.s. this post assumes that English is not your first language. I made this assumption as it would not be proper to assume otherwise, as that would imply that you are a complete fucking moron with not even a basic grasp of the most basic English.

There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order. Starting now.

What use is a soap box to defend liberty? The only soap boxes I can find in the supermarket are the size of a bar of soap (obviously), and I fail to see how this can be useful in any way to defend liberty. Is it a subtle hint that the enemies of liberty need a shower? Buggered if I know....

Ballot box? Lets see...choice #1 or choice #2....how can you choose when neither choice changes anything?

Jury box? I guess thats a way to defend liberty...but how can you in secret courts that have no juries?

Now the ammo box I can understand...Murica! F yeah! Murica! MURICAAAA!!!! Land of the FREE! Freedom! Democracy! Liberty! Guns!!...but the government have bigger guns and tanks and armored vehicles and drones and aircraft and ships and missiles and....yeah, fat lot of good your guns will do.

Maybe its tile to finally retire that faded old meme. Its utterly meaningless nowadays.

How does this stop them from wearing it all day in pants pockets, while at the Apple Campus In Cupertino(tm)?
That facility is more tightly controlled than a nuclear power station, no member of the public will ever see it within that building.

I cannot see how they failed to test it in house with real world conditions.

But thankfully, Apple being Apple, if there is a genuine issue, they will fix it. Antennagate was fixed when they realised their mistake, it will be the same with bendygate if its a real issue.

What your statement doesnt realise is the possibility of a nuke being used, not by a rogue state, but by a terrorist organization. You have to remember that these Islamist Jihadists are very very happy to die in the service of Allah. They WANT it. They will be instantly admitted into Heaven, and they will have a fun filled literal eternity to enjoy their 72 virgins and other fruits of Heaven. They will be heroes and martyrs and will experience an existence far more enjoyable than this comparative hell on earth.

If they can set a nuke off against their enemies and non-believers, they will in no way shape or form have any fear of dying from the response, they will look forward to it. They desire to die in the name of God far more than they desire to live.

These people truly believe this, deep in their hearts.

This changes everything. The normal rules of war do not apply to those who really really want to die for their God. The rewards are far in excess to any pain and suffering they may experience on Earth.

Keep it classy, Religion.

We were never able to destroy the world several times over...

Over 1,000 nuclear weapons have been detonated on Earth in the past 50+ years...

We're all still here...

It would take more than we've got to kill everyone, much less do any real lasting harm to the planet...

Those "1000 nuclear weapons" were not all detonated at once on top of populated major cities and military bases.

Try that and see how many die and how the planet responds.

Comment Nvidia is part of the conspiracy (Score 1) 275

Can we please stop the use of logic, deductive reasoning and empirical evidence when debunking conspiracy theories? It is a complete waste of time due to the first rule of conspiracy theories:

Rule #1 of Conspiracy Theories: Any and all evidence debunking a conspiracy is part of the conspiracy.

The typical response will be that NVidia is part of the conspiracy, therefore all results from Nvidia are completely and utterly wrong in every possible way.

Trying to convince a conspiracy theorist that he/she is wrong is akin to trying to convince the Pope that god indeed does not exist. You are wasting your time no matter how right you are.
