  1. Re:Islam needs to reign in their junkyard dogs. on Gunmen Kill 12, Wound 7 At French Magazine HQ · · Score: 1

    Are they attending mosques? From what I understand these nutbags usually get kicked out of mosques at the first sign of being nutbags (such as Dzokhar Tsarnaev.)

  2. Re:This is what's wrong... on Bill Would Ban Paid Prioritization By ISPs · · Score: 1

    Some group in a society holds overruling power, and if the majority doesn't hold it then the minority does. There's nothing inherently wrong or dangerous about populism.

    So Cialis ads are interrupting your jokes about buttsex which is followed by actual buttsex?

    That's called smart product placement.

    No more than yours does, since it also doesn't indicate that you're infallible.

    The cop should've either played dead or tackled the guy as a final fuck-you, did he think he would be shown mercy by these nutbags?

    The problem with islam today is the mainstream muslim population is unwilling to tell their brothers to stop terrorist activity.

    Last paragraph of TFA, or 7th paragraph of this:

    http://www.reuters.com/article...

    This kind of condemnation isn't uncommon, and if you speak with any Muslim they're all disgusted with these assholes. Do they have to set up billboards?

    "Allah" was the moon god. He co-opted "allah" and turned it into what it is now.

    Bullshit.

    A little social exclusion would probably lead lots of younger folks to drop it, and maybe after a generation or two most followers who remain won't bring it up often at all and will boil it down to a few annual excuses for naked commercialism.

    Maybe in the long term, but in the short term it would boost radicalization significantly by making mainstream Muslims feel isolated and "otherized," which is exactly what terrorist groups want BTW.

  12. Re:Yes it will on Space Policy Guru John Logsdon Has Good News and Bad News On NASA Funding · · Score: 1

    The only people who could pay for a space mission are governments and bored billionaires, it's nearly impossible to make a profit in space.

    I once did some quick calculations to show that you couldn't send a human to profitably collect watermelon-sized diamonds from the surface of Mars, I wish I could find the post about it now.

  13. Re:Very clever on Toyota Opens Patents On Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology · · Score: 1

    That would make a lot of sense. Hydrogen doesn't make much sense, it gives you the high initial vehicle cost of an EV with the fuel cost and carbon pollution issues of a gasoline vehicle (most hydrogen is fossil-sourced), with the energy transportation issues of something new entirely (a gas that escapes through solids and is flammable when mixed with air? Fun!)

    Toyota was making a lot of amazing battery innovations before they apparently hit their head on something and forgot what a crappy idea Hydrogen is.

  14. Re:No we shouldnt on Should We Be Content With Our Paltry Space Program? · · Score: 1

    Not at all, I'm just saying that without a serious communist competitor the US loses all motivation to better itself.

  15. Not doing what they're thinking on Gun Rights Hacktivists To Fab 3D-Printed Guns At State Capitol · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They think they're protesting against gun control, but they're actually making a powerful and probably effective protest for 3D printer control.

  16. I won't buy it, you won't buy it... on Sony Thinks You'll Pay $1200 For a Digital Walkman · · Score: 2

    ...but there are a lot of stupid-ass rich people who will buy it.

    Does Musk qualify? He wouldn't be doing what he's doing for much longer without business from NASA and/or other government space agencies. He's not running his own space program any more than Lockheed-Martin is running their own air force.

    Branson's really is a private program, but whether it qualifies as a *space* program is debatable.

    America needed commies. With no credible commie threat today, they have no incentive to explore space or keep inequality under control.

    Seriously, every successful attempt the US government ever made to address inequality was driven by an attempt to show the commies that capitalism doesn't lead to a hyper-unequal dystopia. And when they weren't around anymore to make that accusation...well it turns out that it does, I guess.

  19. Re:Fair and balanced, just like Fox News. on WSJ Refused To Publish Lawrence Krauss' Response To "Science Proves Religion" · · Score: 2

    Exactly. WSJ is now just a version of Fox News with wood and brushed metal paneling on it, aimed at a wealthier set of idiots looking for their reality-incompatible worldview to be confirmed.

    Your guess isn't far off, TFA says that an acre of trees sequesters 2.6 tons of carbon per year.

    Just curious, is their official .onion still up? I'm at my office so checking would be a PITA for me from here.

    Sounds like a combination of torrents over I2P and an index site hosted on Freenet.

    I know the methane clathrate gun hypothesis was disproven, but the difference between that and this becomes academic beyond certain amounts of warming.

    At these pressures they most likely compress it with a hydraulic piston.
