  1. Re:Gasoline-like energy density on IBM Creates 'Breathing' High-Density Lithium-Air Battery · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This idea is going to seem ridiculously silly in the future when batteries can charge faster than a tank can fill (Even Gen. X'ers will live to see it, I'm sure). I will seem incredible forward-thinking B-)

  2. Re:Gasoline-like energy density on IBM Creates 'Breathing' High-Density Lithium-Air Battery · · Score: 5, Funny

    Drat you've got me. God forbid you have to take a half-hour break to get an 80% recharge after driving for over 8 hours at highway speed. You might even have to choke down a snack to bury your sorrows.

    Your move, range anxiety crowd.

  4. Re:Overthrowing a government is fine ... on EU Commissioner: We Cannot Allow ISP Disconnects · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Apparently, using the Internet to overthrow a government is allowed

    Only if it's a Western-unfriendly government. Try even protesting around a G8/G20 meeting and see how much cell reception you get.

    Damn right brother. Email me if you want to join the resistance - don't use the one above, that's not secure. Send it to contact at fbi dot gov.

  6. Re:So when it comes to 3 strikes.... on EU Commissioner: We Cannot Allow ISP Disconnects · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No no, she said no disconnects for countries struggling for democracy. Once a country has something that resembles democracy you knock those fuckin' pirates right off the Internet.

    I like your enthusiasm XD

    I get the feeling that the current Kim is actually a level-headed guy playing the part of a crazy dictator (while trying to improve things as much as he can without idling and dismantling NK's military) to prevent a military coup.

  9. Re:Nasa needs to build a bio dome on NASA Unveils Greenest Federal Building In the Nation · · Score: 2

    With current environmental policies there will be applications for that biodome right here on Earth...

  10. Re:Still not truly green on NASA Unveils Greenest Federal Building In the Nation · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's true for the high-end space-ready panels intended for satellites (as used on satellites). When news of that hit the climate denial blogs, every anti-environmentalist idiot out there assumed it applies to all solar panels.

  11. I'm wrong apparently on Power-Saving Web Pages: Real Or Myth? · · Score: 1

    Wait according to TFA I'm wrong, the LCDs are using less power to display black as well.

  12. I have an idea on Posting Photos of Olympics Could Land You In Court · · Score: 1

    Why not build a big opaque dome over the stadium and only let the athletes in? This should solve all their IP issues!

  13. Greenwashing on Power-Saving Web Pages: Real Or Myth? · · Score: 1

    CRTs and OLEDs need more power to display white than black, but LCDs, the most common kind of screen nowadays, needs more power to display black than white. So black pages actually require more power on average.

  14. Re:Not necessiarly on Neal Stephenson Takes Blame For Innovation Failure · · Score: 1

    Regularly however you'd get kids writing in and drooling about how awesome Dredd is and how cool living in megacity 1 would be.

    And those kids grew up to be today's neoconservatives.

    I've always wondered if when libertarians were kids, they read Snow Crash and similar dystopian cyberpunk, and thought to themselves "Wow, living in this world would be SO AWESOME!"

  15. Re:SciFi don't dictate what I love, or dis-love on Neal Stephenson Takes Blame For Innovation Failure · · Score: 1

    The next time I hear someone talking about bread and circus, only knowing what it is because of the hunger games, I'm going to puke.

    Great now I can't un-know this T_T

  16. Re:It only affects 64 bit systems on Major OpenSSL Security Issue Found (and Fixed) · · Score: 1

    Don't kid yourself, at this point the N900 is protected mostly by obscurity. The version of Flash on there is riddled with holes and the mozilla-based browser probably is too.

  17. Re:Down With Big Brother on Expect Mandatory 'Big Brother' Black Boxes In All New Cars From 2015 · · Score: 1

    Great idea, make it seem like the government wants this rather than insurance companies. That'll whip up some opposition.

    Likewise if Facebook were called Fedbook I don't think people would use it so much...

    Poor you, that's just before cars started to get good. Just one year newer and you could drive a 240Z.

    Actually yes they are all made with UV-resistant black plastic cases. Unlike the black boxes in airplanes which are red or orange.

    Aw man this is sad. They should create statues of blocky airplanes and ridiculous custom hypersonic jets that burn through their fuel in 20 seconds (see: early MSFS) as a memorial.

    ...And go back in time to protect the President from time-travelling assassins. But while you're in the past, try not to change anyting. You can ask Obama for tips on that before you leave! *rimshot*

    They actually believe this shit. They call the Democrats communist among themselves, which is hilarious given how similar their policies are to the Republicans and that Nixon would run as a far-left Democrat today.

    Bitcoin is already practically banned by the finance industry. Changing between bitcoins and any kind of "real" currency is a black market.
