Comment Re:Current PCs are good enough. (Score 5, Informative) 564

It's Microsoft's fault. They won't allow the makers to sell you a PC without a tablet OS.

I'm sure that's a significant factor. I wonder how the makers feel about that.

Look no further "Samsung is blaming Windows 8 for its poor performance in the PC market and the overall decline of the industry as a whole."

Yes, apparently you wiretap the internet and install the video cameras.

Who, specifically, are the two of you referring to when you say "you" and "we"? All Americans? Really?

Yes sir, no Americans "just talk big" on the internet as they rave into video cameras, and all Americans support "wiretapping the internet" as we giggle our asses off installing the video cameras... and all Irish are drunks, all Brits have bad teeth and all Muslims are terrorists.

You really put your names on this shit? Both of your posts are sense-free trolls. Give it a rest.

Comment Re:A GOOD LANDING !! (Score 2) 249

Agreed it's easier to fly at night, but landings without some kind of aid (VASI / PAPI) can be a real pain in the ass if you're out of practice. Without the aids, unless you do it all the time, setting up a flare over a dark patch of concrete and waiting to be surprised when the wheels touch is not a comfortable feeling.

Everyone's got a right to their own opinion, Bennett's in this case seems to be no more relevant that a couple college kids in a dorm bullsh*t session.

Which causes me to wonder why it's on the front page of Slashdot.

It might not be long before we see a front-page post discussing the wonders of Oxy-Clean.

Because it's "News for Nerds", they'll include a blurb in the article where the ghost of Billy Mays discusses Oxy-Clean's molecular structure with Bigfoot.

Bennett sounds like he has the luxury of time in a quiet, relatively stress-free environment to calculate hazard ratios and probabilities, unlike most people thrown with little warning into a possibly contentious interrogation.

To be honest, he comes off sounding like a hair-splitting idealist.

As unlikely as it might be, If I ever find myself having to deal with US authorities in a situation involving a criminal case, I think that I'll follow Professor Duane's advice.

By the way, who is this guy that gets to editorialize on Slashdot? Are the Dice suits trying to liven things up?

Commenters on Slashdot should not be able to hide behind "Anonymous Coward" to post comments like this. This kind of comment should be a bannable offense.

It's a stupid comment posted by an idiot, but what you advocate, simply because the AC's statement offended you, is much, much worse.

If you don't like it, browse comments at > +2, leave here and go to a forum that censors, or better yet, put on your big boy/girl pants and ignore it instead of trying to control everyone else's experience on /. just because you are offended.
