  1. Re:Not a replacement yet on Big Advance In Hydrogen Production Could Change Alternative Energy Landscape · · Score: 1

    3. Burning hydrocarbons creates greenhouse gases.

    It would be a carbon-neutral cycle, as you're not introducing previously sequestered carbons into the atmosphere. Burning hydrocarbons doesn't *create* greenhouse gases, it only *retuns them to the atmosphere*

  2. Re:Cyanogen on T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling Was Vulnerable to Trivial MITM Attack · · Score: 1

    Is this the current Movial IMS-based implementation, or the previous UMA implemenation? The TMO/Movial IMS service isn't available on any non-TMO builds i've ever discovered.

  3. Re:Cyanogen on T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling Was Vulnerable to Trivial MITM Attack · · Score: 1

    As far as I am aware, TMO's current Android implementation of Wifi calling does not exist on Cyanogen.

  4. Re:Paging Mr Hill and Mr Gibbons on NASA Pondering L2 Outpost, Return To Moon · · Score: 1

    If I had mod points, this would get them.

  5. name one city level transit agreement where peering is an acceptable compromise per the tax payers and i'll eat crow.

  6. Re:VIN in public view? on What a Black Box Data Dump Looks Like · · Score: 1

    You mean on a metal plate at the front left corner of the windshield, where anyone walking by can see it? The horror.

  7. Re:Nuclear waste on India To Build A Thorium Reactor · · Score: 1

    If we wait long enough, it'll go away on its own.

  8. Re:feature creep? on Windows Server 8 Is A Radical Departure From Previous Releases · · Score: 1

    As long as it has tab completion, you won't.

  9. Re:This is bad for content generation on Cable Channels Panic Over iPad Streaming App · · Score: 1

    IPTV services such as AT&T Uverse are like this already, but the networks that generate the content still rely on Nielsen ratings to decide popularity, rather than AT&T's streaming statistics.

  10. Re:Cannot believe on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 1

    It was actually just called "Snatch", and had a corresponding mode called "Grab."

  11. Re: Crazy Texas on Amazon Pulling Out of Texas Over $269 Million Tax Bill · · Score: 1

    [citation needed]

  12. Re:Provided it's not a fake... on The First Photograph of a Human · · Score: 1

    No solid proof has been offered as to its authenticity, either.

  13. Re:lasers on The 300 Million Year Old Brain · · Score: 1

    Wait, where's the +5, Funny? ??? Profit?

  14. Re:flycast.fm replaced it for me. on Internet Killed the Satellite Radio Star · · Score: 1

    After giving Liquid Metal a chance (being a die-hard Hard Attack listener) it really hasn't changed that much. Hard Attack never played as much death and black metal as I'd have liked, but it's still miles away better than anything else out there or your metal listening needs.

  15. Re:Prior Art on Google Maps To Add 'Friend' GPS Tracking · · Score: 4, Informative

    Good thing that Latitude is entirely opt-in and not opt-out.

  16. I've been doing this without Barry... on Using Your BlackBerry As a Modem On Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've been doing this with my Curve 8320 without Barry for some time now, via blueZ and rfcomm under Gentoo on my laptop. It's relatively stable and has enough bandwidth for casual web surfing. I was able to get up to 20KBps down / 11KBps up over EDGE.

  17. Re:Don't get so excited on Ubuntu Ports To ARM · · Score: 1

    > crippling web browsing doesn't exactly make them very appealing.

    Blame the websites you frequent for buying into the Adobe-owned proprietary platform, then. Flash is, and always has been, an abomination.

  18. Re:About overclockers: on Overclocked Memory Breaks Core i7 CPUs · · Score: 1

    You don't twin an I-4. Even if you did the clutch wouldn't slip at green, as the alternating 1/3 and 2/4 firing pairs on a typical waste-spark I4 won't create enough exhaust energy to spool much but the smallest of turbochargers.

    Quick. We need a new car analogy!

  19. Wait, so.... on Metallica Guitar Hero Release Has Higher Quality Than CDs · · Score: 1

    ...why do they get the tracks that don't SUCK?

  20. So what? You completely miss the point... on Will Modern Games Stand the Test of Time? · · Score: 1

    a "good gameplay experience" is completely relative. Regardless of how perfect Pac Man may have been, some people disliked it. Some people hate Galaga, some Mario, some Final Fantasy (I through XXMVC). You'll never make the Perfect Game. People will remember what they relate to the most - some puzzle that elated them after solving it, some graphic that left them in awe when they saw it, some cutscene that fucked the story they were expecting so badly they were left cradleing their head in their hands in utter despair.

    Make engaging, thought provoking, interesting games and regardless of how shitty they might be, someone will love them and use them as a stick to define their gaming experience.

  21. Re:Pagerank back to the top? on Google Tests Custom Highlights, Comments In Search · · Score: 2, Funny

    How is the weather in Bizarro World today?

  22. Re:It's not that hard on Linux Authentication Against Active Directory · · Score: 1

    Authentication is the easy part. We're in the middle of a Likewise integration right now, and the system management is what sold us on it. Having the ability to apply group policy objects to Linux/UNIX machines, enforce login restrictions, password management, and maintain compliance across both Windows and Linux is very nice, especially in a large environment. Being able to do it all from one MMC is gravy.

  23. Re:Will you download it? on Band Leaks Own Album, Blames Pirates · · Score: 1

    No sir; refuse to download the album because they *SUCK*.

  24. Re:Not Commercial on SpaceX Conducts Full Thrust Firing of Falcon 9 · · Score: 1

    I'm sure people made the same comments when ESA first tested the Ariane series of rockets. As it turns out, they do quite a bit of commercial activity, launching many non-government satellites for corporate parties. An ESA Ariane-5 put DirecTV's SpaceWay-F2 into orbit. I beg your pardon, but who are you to say that the Falcon rockets won't or can't become the next commodity commercial launch system?

  25. Re:I love you. on How To Deal With Internet Bullies? · · Score: 1

    Old perl versions of DCForum had this feature. it made for some pretty confused trolls.
