so you mean build a wall like the Berlin wall?

Along with FIrefox on the first day.

We have them Mexicans INVADING America. We have to secure the border and keep them out. They are diluting our culture and they don't want to learn English and they are bringing ebola and they are bringing measles because they don't have vaccination. It's the downfall of America. SECURE THE BORDER NOW!!!

Free speech only applies to government and that's it Go read the constitution before bellowing rubbish in here. Free speech means the government cannot censor your speech.

The constant whining about NIH in open source/free software is a bullhshit red herring. It is an attempt to legitimize one's hatred for the entity that is trying to create something new that suits their own needs. Not every damn upstream project is going to accept your patches to change the direction from where upstream want's to go. And the freedesktop.org guys are notorious for telling downstream submitters to go fuck off and WONT_FIX. So your argument is a total straw man argument and lacks credibility in the face of reality.

I'm not sure this is a good thing. The extra melanin apparently gives the eye extra protection from UV rays. I guess if you live in the far north its no big issue but if you live in the southern hemisphere near the equator you may want to thing twice about this. That melanin is there for a reason

what a moron. Show me where any person can go into a store in the USA and buy and automatic weapon. You should just shut up now because you have no clue what the hell you are talking about. - smh

First of i'm not a conservative however I do believe that if the 2nd ammendemnt should be treated the same as the 1st. You can't say the 2nd ammendment is null and void but still want the privacy afforded to you by the first ammendment. That is outright hipocrisy.

well it was because it's open source why a third party was able to find and fix the bug in the first place. Beats waiting on the proprietary vendor to get around to finding and fixing their problems.

Yes politicians need to butt out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... https://www.youtube.com/watch?... who cares if they poisen us for profits. When oil companies were paying scientists to say lead in gasoline was a good thing politicians shouldn't have done a thing.

Yes little Johnny the only time you can use the computer is when I can sit down at the computer with you and watch every single thing you do. That's efficent and realistic isn't it. I take it you don't have kids - smh.

Because a starship/fleet probably wouldn't be equipped with stealth systems to begin with. If they were to jump to our system they already are way ahead of us by orders of magnitude. No stealth is required. It would be simple brute force. When one lifeform that is significantly more advanced meets another that is significantly less advanced they simply roll over them. We don't deploy stealh systems against creatures living in the forest when we bulldoze the forest to setup a new housing subdivision or shopiing mall. They *can* be detected with simple radar after they jump to our system, not to say that they will be detected because we don't have a system setup to detect them. And even if we detect them it doesn't mean we can do anything about it but simply run. Just like the creatures living in the forest when a bulldozer comes to clear the land and setup shop.

You sir are as complete brainwashed moron. - smh. The so called "Obama phone" is a program started by reagan

see this comment above http://news.slashdot.org/comme... no need for flashblock any more. very good suggestion.

Is this shown on the news? Have CNN spent a whole 2 days on it like they have a current blizzard of new york? or previously Inflategate? Nope So why whould the unwashed masses be upset if the fucking media is failing to report on it. It's not a blizzard, sports cheating or a plane crash so they are oblivious. We that read slashdot hear about stuff like this all the time. DEA cameras, NSA GCHQ etc. The greater "American people" do not. So they cannot be outraged over something that the media is not reporting.
