Beavers aside, I don't actually see what the problem is. What if the situation were reversed? Way, way worse.

I don't see it as a slashvertisement. I see it as a cry for help.

Does Timothy have some kind of disorder? Is he trying to draw attention to otherwise unnoticed severe autism? I don't think normal people would like to be associated with wearing an unflattering garment that they then burden with all of their possessions. Perhaps we can get Timothy and others like him some help before they fall out of society.

It's about buying smart. Instead of buying recertified drives, go for drives that really like the water like Barracudas and Caviar.

Oh yeah, and I do agree that a giant gaping anus would very easily repel bullets with optical sensors. It's almost the perfect defence.

Unfortunately, my original point was not to misdirect the bullet but to blind it. You try detecting modulation in a field of sensor-overloading laser dots.

Also, sorry for short-linking. Yes, it's a habit from being forced to on forums that don't allow linking code and break long URLs into pieces.

SCRUM pushes standup meetings. Do some googling eh.

This is what I came to say. We had standup meetings every day and it devolved into one particularly megalomaniacal aspie micro-manager telling staff how to stand in the most abusive tone possible. I quit shortly after that started.

Hey, it's Slashdot. We can still find ways to break it.

I was thinking, this: http://goo.gl/d52rX

Shit reviewer can't spell eminent director's name. Shit reviewer refers to low-budget, panned sci-fi and a foreign cartoon that only has cowboys in the name when talking about an unrelated movie. Shit reviewer doesn't actually summarize his review. Did he like it? Is saying it's not like Firefly good, or bad? Just kidding, we know you think Firefly is the epitome of cinema. We just know you're also wrong.

Shit reviewer should stop reviewing.

No, it's far less than that. Most crops are pollinated manually by people before the insects have time to take care of it.

If by "works best" they mean "opens 50 browser windows" then that's what I get using Chrome on Ubuntu.

The article is talking rubbish. That factoid about bees pollinating 90% of the world's food crops is extremely inaccurate.

Not only been tried, it's unnecessary.

Commercial crops aren't pollinated by honeybees alone. There are many insects responsible for insect pollination. Not to mention that most crops are pollinated manually by pureeing male plants and spraying them on the others.

This situation is a typical example of so-called in-the-know bloggers making completely false claims due to ignorance. Slashdot: so very, very average.
