Comment Re:Wow combining two useless things I hate (Score 2, Informative) 125

When I lived in Ohio a few years ago, nobody gave a fuck about recycling.

I still live there and every lefty I know gives a shit about recycling, the righties not so much, they bitch about trannies. I am not making this up, people here are about "me", my portfolio, my rights, and my religion, otherwise they just don't give a fuck. Money is what they worship and God will sort out those pesky warming cycles, he's got a plan. Someone in Ohio told me I would miss out on heaven and streets of gold and jewels if I didn't believe. Why do the righteous fucks need gold and jewels or virgins (muslims) after they're dead? Logic is just a word for them and makes their brain hurt.

Hating people is much worse than feeling like a woman. Don't be a hater.

He is way smarter than you, just not sane or well adjusted. There are many medical conditions that blur gender identity, making blanket statements for political points is hateful and ignorant.

Like that new party, what's their slogan again, more luney than looney.

They want to build a Greater Israel, which includes parts of Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and more. It's based on ...

The armpit of the planet, who in their right mind would want to live there. OH, right holy rocks, walls, and towns supported by invisible sky faires. For fifty years I've wondered who or what could bring peace to the middle east, well the answer is NOBODY. The only logical answers left are to vacate everyone from Israel*, or give all those countries nukes.

After fifty years they all have blood on their hands, just end this already. Maybe Chrump could turn it into a golf course, or a shiny glass parking lot.

* This would not bring peace, most of the Arab states hate each other, so no peace for them.

I'd just like it not to become unresponsive for no apparent reason.

When I still used windows I found larges numbers of files in MyDocuments or Downloads caused this. Move most files elsewhere and don't auto set background virus scanning on them.

Windows will just keep fucking with you no matter what you do. I was spending more time undoing update damage than getting work done.

If there's centrifuges to separate out different isotopes of hydrogen, helium, or whatever else is used for fuel then those same centrifuges could be used to enrich uranium or plutonium into something weapon grade.

I am not a nuclear engineer but neither are you. Not all neutron sources are suitable for breeding more fissile material, not all isotopic separation tech is applicable to all fuel types, not all materials absorb neutron equally. When creating a list of reasons to cast shadow on a tech reading more would be in order. Here is just one mistake, I don't get paid to find them all. My bias on this, centrifuges probably work better on heavy atoms, diffusion on lighter ones.

I'm not the fusion advocate I used to be, but the idea isn't dead yet.

only replying to say: 'when did slashdot break the 10mil UID mark!?'

It was ratcheted up in several stages a few years back. Uids seemed to jump from 2mill to 4mill then 5 and 6. It might have been troll control, new owners inflating #s, or just lazy programming. Bottom line don't trust anyone over 1,000,000, the real number of users is closer to 2 or 3 million (ish).

The real question is how intentional that automatic update was broken.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. (apologies to Clarke)

Never dual boot, Microsoft will find a way to screw it up. Year's ago I found out that Microsoft and Linux would fight over time zones and system clock offsets, that's when I sent Microsoft packing. Keep an outdated Windows machine for the MScrapps and use a better Linux machine for day to day.

Comment Re:PowerPanel (Score 2) 174

I have Cyberlink's PowerPanel installed on my windows machine to monitor my UPS ... 400MB of code to draw a window on the screen to show what your UPS is doing, and some basic networking stuff.

The Linux version of PowerPanel install pkg is less than 5MB, with a 16MB pwrstatd, and maybe uses some libs. The interface is terminal only, but the lights don't dim when it loads.

As a side note, the battery has six seconds of run time after two years of very light use.
