  1. Re:Hydrogen centralizes the pollution for remediat on The Mercedes-Benz 'Cloaking Device' · · Score: 1

    That's true if the car has a hydrogen-powered ICE, but if it's a fuel cell vehicle it's still Dinosaurs -> Hydrogen -> Electric -> Vroom

  2. Re:Hydrogen centralizes the pollution for remediat on The Mercedes-Benz 'Cloaking Device' · · Score: 1

    I agree with you on hydrogen but battery swapping is stupid. The latest electric cars can already do a half-hour quick charge to 80%, and they already have more range than the average American's driving distance so pretty soon overnight charging will be all you need.

  3. Re:All My on The Mercedes-Benz 'Cloaking Device' · · Score: 1

    The roof line of my sports coupe is below most cars' mirror level so I'm invisible to most of them. It's like the cloaking system in FreeSpace, except you only need to make the car less than 4 feet tall instead of spatially compressing it into a razor-thin blade.

    Sure why not. And let's get rid of cars too, people misuse those all the time and we lived fine without them for centuries:

    Whoa, that's like steampunk technology, but 70's-based. Discopunk?

  9. Re:Already have some on Warner Bros: New Program To Digitize Your DVDs · · Score: 1

    I'd recommend upgrading your DVD player instead (round up some parts and build an HTPC - it's worth it), but you can do the job with Kdenlive (or VLC on Windows, but Kdenlive is much easier) and dvdauthor.

    No those are the analog audio CDs.

    Sort of, but they're much bigger and the data is serial-access only. The player costs a shit-ton too.

    DVDShrink, VLC media player, MakeMKV...take your pick.

    If only Maemo could run on a Droid 4 I wouldn't have to worry so much about my N900...

  14. Re:For competative gaming? on Ask Slashdot: What Is an Acceptable Broadband Latency? · · Score: 1

    Games should have a separate section for cheaters where it's basically a free-for-all hacking competition against the game itself. Cheaters can have fun against other cheaters, honest players don't have to play with cheaters. Sounds like a win/win to me.

    In this case the US is just making clear with words what they had already made clear with actions.

    TPB has also switched to an .se domain, that they forward to by default. But with TPB now being DHT-only and magnet-link-only, and even more easily mirrored, it would be stupid and pointless to take it down.

  18. Re:Sounds funky but on X Server Now Available For Android · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe we can run a Linux desktop environment. And then add some common apps that are used among many POSIX-compliant operating systems. And then get rid of all the stuff that requires Google services, and add a compiler so we can run whatever we want.

    We could call this flavor of Android the Generally Normal User-environment Linux, or GNU/Linux for short.

    Spend billions? All they have to do is write a script for their cell towers, or maybe the central log server already in place.

    I hope they do it.

    And the act of blocking everyone from communicating is less selfish and less wrong than a person talking loudly on the phone?

    "Who cares?" that sounds horrendously self-centered. "Who cares about all your rights to communicate, I wanna sleep bitches!"

    I don't use Facebook. I barely use my phone actually, so you'd think I'd be in the bitter neckbeard camp, but I'm not a horrible selfish sociopath.

    Also I guess your dad is rich so you've never had to hunt for a job. One missed call CAN fuck you up.

    I know, I'm surprised at how many people on here support this selfish, disruptive asshole behavior that dwarfs the act of talking loudly on a cell phone.
