  1. Are they made anywhere else? and.. on Casting a Harsh Light On Chinese Solar Panels · · Score: 1

    is there a way to be sure you're getting ones made by a reputable firm? The TCO/EROEI on Solar is so marginal to begin with, nobody wants to risk a multi-thousand-dollar implementation if there's a high likelihood they'll lose out.

  2. doesn't he also have on Kim Dotcom Wants Money From Google, Twitter For 2-Factor Authentication · · Score: 1

    a couple million dollars in the central bank of Nigeria that he needs our help to recover?

  3. What I'm trying to figure out is on Florida Activates System For Citizens To Call Each Other Terrorists · · Score: -1

    Who was the first person to beat me to a McCarthyism joke in this thread? Da,

    I want to work with this guy! high-five to you drdanny

  5. if you think my karma was bad before on How To Talk Like a CIO · · Score: 5, Funny

    Today, I went to the EMC/VMware event in Baltimore. me, twentysome 50-60 year old C-levels, no technical information that could be gleaned, but a bunch of salivating million dollar budgets. I asked the engineer-presenter about his replication's bandwidth demands, he was not prepared to answer... the C-level guys asked questions like "what color is the box it comes in?" want to sound like a CIO? forget everything you know about object oriented programming, IPv6, and OSPF and Linux,, and mimic a sales-evangelist from EMC.

  6. What do I look for in a prosthestic hand? on Ask Slashdot: What Would You Look For In a Prosthetic Hand? · · Score: 3, Funny

    This means, creating an episode of Maury just became cheaper and faster.

  9. Re:Cost of nuclear power on Fukushima Nuclear Plant Cleanup May Take More Than 40 Years · · Score: -1

    While I am neither For or Against nuclear power, I would think that the cost of regulation and maintenance should be figured into EROEI numbers. Someone was giving me their insights on how prices of Exxon Mobil were going to drop because of the discovery of a big shale field and i had to explain eroei to them and how natural gas is nice but it will not replace oil. I mean the next response would sensibly describe events surrounding the deepwater disaster in the Gulf and for that, I would have to say their numbers should be figured as well.

    doesn't matter. the media lies to us.

  15. Re:Seriously now... on Google's Punishment? Lecture Those They Snooped On · · Score: -1

    I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you cut class every time the history teachers talked about genocide, propaganda, hitler or other dictators who engaged in information wars prior to land wars.

  16. Re:Seriously now... on Google's Punishment? Lecture Those They Snooped On · · Score: -1

    Google is uncle sam's 1984 big brother. It needs Google to continue to harvest our search criteria, our behavior online, and anything with our names or screennames tied to it. Uncle Sam wants Google to keep it's mouth shut about this too so it is avoiding too much stepping on their toes.

    Whaaaaat? lol, i stood in front of my share of speakers too man.. (38 year old guitarist and metal fan here)

  20. But if ear hair improves hearing on Drug Allows Deafened Mice to Regrow Inner Ear Hair · · Score: 0

    how are so many aged men with fur-coats growing out of their ears so hard of hearing? (this replaces my bad joke based solely on the headline which was "are you sure you didn't just turn the mice into middle-aged-men?")

  21. til you disagree with Facebook's views on Facebook Gives Free Voice Calls a Trial Run in Canada · · Score: -1
