WTF????

We are sliding down the slope even faster.......now students are raised to expect to have no rights. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

Indeed. Did you see the other article on how they suspended someone's account for questioning the mainstream media?

NOT! Seriously does anyone else find this extremely disappointing? Our planet is FUCKED. Hello global warming!

Come on slashdot! Get it up! :P

I might add that I don't think this contractor is licensed if some other comments are correct. So its very likely a fly by night operation, but then again I could be totally wrong.

And that's the rub with this whole thing. Unless we were there and witnessed it, we have no idea what went down. For all we know she is a lying deadbeat. I'm not saying that's the case, and to be honest, I'm more inclined to be sympathetic to her, but without any real evidence its hard to say what really happened here. A review and a lawsuit doesn't tell me much.

Flight 427 was actually the result of a faulty rudder ending up locked in an extreme position. The plane toppled over and plunged straight into the ground. Initial speculation was the wake of another pane as they had not discovered the rudder defect yet.

What a typical politician. Apologizing and then claiming it wasn't an apology. He really needs to get the doublespeak thing down a bit better.

Don't you mean China's improving economy? We've already lost half our middle class. I don't see the improvement unless you count new walmarts progress.

This is hands down the funniest thing I have read on slashdot in ages. Thanks for sharing.

I want to go so bad!

Go play homeworld. They used real space physics and had aircraft carriers. Spacecraft carriers make sense in the context that they provide support and protection to a squadron of smaller vehicles.

I have the Transformer Tablet with keyboard and, while yes it is very, very useful it really still isn't a general purpose computing device. You can run linux on it in a chroot, but that only gives you X over VNC. Its possible to evetually dual boot it since it boots linux already anyways. People have been doing this one the prime. In that context it is actually fairly impressive and had 3d acceleration...though I don't think sound works yet. From the videos I've seen it performs much like a netbook running linux. Like a 2nd generation netbook. Most of the apps for android are optimized for phones, so that is a downside. There aren't a huge number of productivity apps for android on tablets. There are some nice apps though. Honestly I use this more than my notebook now. The screen has the same resolution roughly and is smaller so it looks better. For internet communication and web browsing this thing is pretty awesome. Also I am photographer and I can just plug in an external usb powered mini drive and dump my sd cards straight to the drive pretty quickly. Ghost commander works well as a file manager too. I have the bootloader unlocked and I'm running the hydro jellybean rom atm. Its still a little buggy and the i/o is awful right now, but its still a very fast and usable tablet. Some of the games rock too.

I don't want to pick somewhere too small. South side is too busy on a Saturday to be honest. I want you all to chime in if you decide to come and suggest somewhere that is relatively quiet on a Saturday night. I don't drink, but I have a feeling many of you do so any quiet bar that has space for maybe 10-20 people would be ideal imo. If a bunch of you respond and don't want to drink a low key coffee shop would be great too. I'll kick back some beers with anyone that wants to join me. Just be warned. My tolerance is low lol. I just thought it would be cool to meet up with some people that are fellow slashdotters. You can friend me on fb @ zos xavius if you want. I'm always open to new friends. Respond to this if you want to come and maybe we can have a fun night. I'm usually pretty chill to hang out with. Hope some people respond lol.
