My data plan is $20/month for unlimited usage. I can tether my phone via USB and use it as a modem.
I wanted to upgrade my phone recently. Surprise surprise, they don't offer my current data plan anymore. Seems to be $25 for 5 GB and $35 for unlimited (or something). And they mention shit like "get email from up to X email addresses". Really? You mean you're going to limit (or try to?) how many email addresses I can clap on my phone? Or is this through your shitty email software/service (as opposed to the phone's innate ability to get POP/IMAP)? I don't need push email (nor do I trust your fucking cell network) - shit can wait 5 minutes if I'm not at my PC.
Basically: Fuck em. My phone works, does what I want, and I don't pay out the ass for it.
Problem is we're replacing coal plants with coal plants.
The morans put the kibosh on nuclear and hydroelectric, and now hate wind power and will soon hate solar power and natural gas.
These people don't give a shit about the environment they just want to make a stink and get attention. They hate industry and government (not just the current piece of shit, all government) and progress and things they don't understand.
The real issue is getting people educated about things such as nuclear power. Not indoctrinated (as we are about race, sex, global warming, and every other "issue") - educated. But that would require science. We seem to have run out of science in this town (maybe because we ran it out of town).
Do a minimal amount of research. They are in use NOW.
Various Japanese companies are producing them and want to ramp up production.
But Japan's market for them is very small, and the target market is too retarded. (Hint: The target market is the one with a huge amount of land, a shitty centralized power grid, and an irrational fear of the nuclear boogey man.)
If it's radioactive we use it smaller plants. There are "portable" nuclear reactors designed for neighborhoods, blocks, etc.
Lower yield material is still useful. When it becomes too low-yield to be useful, simply bury it. It won't cause cancer or awaken latent mutant powers in angsty teenagers, even if it got exposed, released, etc.
When I was in 3rd grade a friend of mine said he was supposed to ride the bus with me today because his mom couldn't pick him up after school.
I asked him if he knew where to get off, and he said his mom said to just follow me.
So I get off and go about my regular business, friend in tow.
His mom's not at the bus stop, nor is he anywhere near home.
I walk on over to my babysitter's house for the afternoon, as usual, friend in tow.
Babysitter called another friend's parents, who knew and called the parents of my tag-along friend.
His mom ends up driving over to pick him up anyway.
I don't know what the deal was with not being able to pick him up and then doing it anyway, but the basic instruction to follow me is what got him home.
Exactly. Bits are logical units you count. It is inherently useful to use powers of 2 in computer science for many reasons. There is no reason aside from stubbornness to stick with 1000 as a major scalar. The use of 1000 in classical sciences is completely arbitrary.
If you can come up with an actual REASON KB should mean 1000 bytes, by all means, I'll listen (and then laugh). Anyone working in the field knows the difference and knows that it is inherently useful to use 2^10 as opposed to 10^3. For those outside the field, such as they laymen consumers, the two are close enough.
If you want to bitch about "standards", then go ahead and tell me who established the standard and what authority they have, as well as why the hell a bunch of guys in garages doing actual science (instead of dictating how science should be done) should listen to them.

Dammit I just posted this!
The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention, now that is irony.

Mod parent down.
He talks about an actively-developed, real-world, useful, cheap Windows Mobile application and doesn't shit on it.
This is not the slashdot way.
Depleted uranium is an oxymoron.
Depleted uranium would in fact not be uranium.
Depleted in that sense was going from weapons grade / high yield to "low" yield.
"Low" yield by those standards is still very damned useful, and would be exactly what we would use for the smaller plants.
You're a moran hoe.
Chabo explained it just fine, so I'm just here to call you a moran hoe.
Shit.
Tetris is the best game of all time.
Yes, that includes sports, board games, and sexual games.

It was a joke.
And your examples are not asexual reproduction.
I HATE switches at wall sockets.
So easy for some fool to bump it and take shit offline.
That's what a circuit breaker box is for.
Nuclear works DECADES ago.
Hydroelectric works DECADES ago.
Solar works DECADES ago.
Wind works DECADES ago.
T here are small, "portable" nuclear power plants in use.
They power individual neighborhoods or blocks.
No river needed/
Solar panels?
Those things have had so many "breakthroughs" that they rival batteries for failing to deliver on claims and bullshit.
They're inefficient, are akin to raping the earth itself when produced, and need to be replaced every x years as they become less efficient.
That's what the push for solar is all about.
Maintenance. Replacement. Window washer? You need a roof washer now, too!
Uh, nuclear "waste" isn't a problem.

What the hell are you talking about?
You've successfully reproduced.
Unless it involved test tubes, a lab in your basement, and possibly some form of mechanical impregn-o-bot, you are not a geek.
We have a rack full of dell servers that let us disable this in the BIOS.
If the thing hangs, you have to pull the plug.
We do have such a prefix.
K, M, G, T, etc all indicate a scalar multiplier of (2^10) ^ 1, 2, 3, etc. when followed by a b or B.
K M G T etc are all fine meaning 1000.
KB MB GB TB etc are all fine meaning 1024 1048576 etc.
WHERE IS THE CONFUSION?
Depends on BIOS, JACKASS!
ALWAYS have a physical power switch.
ALWAYS.
You need content worth buying first.
Beer?
Speech?
WHAAA I'M TAKING MY BALL AND RUNNING HOME?
Filter error: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING. That's because I'm YELLING.

Is our militia well-regulated?
Thank you.
You mean the picture and the video that wasn't up yet? Yeah, saw that.
You mean the words saying "omg you can do this and this omg"? Yeah, so what?
Google chose to show off a messy, cluttered, layout. This Jesus is the son of God! Disregard the fact that he is poor and disheveled.
Fag? LOL.
