  1. Wrong conclusion? on Bacteria Found On ISS May Be Alien In Origin, Says Cosmonaut (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Just because it wasn't there during the launch it doesn't mean it didn't come from Earth.

  2. Re:Why is this necessary? on Italy Proposes Phasing Out Coal Power Plants By 2025 (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It is probably still cheaper to continue to use whatever you have already built. I don't think those recent stories take that in consideration. Of course, if you are building new capacity, it would be no brainer to pick clean energy. I doubt they are building new coal plants at this point.

  3. People are using bitcoin wrong on Here's Why People Don't Buy Things With Bitcoin (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    We need to have a bank account with bitcoin that is not necessarily tied to a bitcoin wallet, that would just be bitcoin credit, similarly to what a fiat coin account would be. And then bitcoin credit card where a payment wouldn't require any movement of bitcoin from a wallet to the next and the financial institution could approve that purchase in bitcoin immediately. And then, financial institutions would only need to do a bitcoin transaction once in a while in large batches and they wouldn't mind paying $5 to complete that transaction. A bitcoin transaction would also be required when you are cashing out, but hopefully you don't have to cash out $9 dollars at a time, just like you don't withdraw $9 from an ATM.

  4. Re:And this matters to me... on Bing is 'Bigger Than You Think', Says Microsoft (onmsft.com) · · Score: 1

    I will just leave this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  5. Don't make your software update so painful on 'Don't Tell People To Turn Off Windows Update, Just Don't' (troyhunt.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't push unwanted updates down people's throat. Don't make updates so annoying that you have to reboot your computer so often. People shouldn't be forced to stop everything they are doing to reboot their computer so often. If you want everyone to do them, these updates should be seamless.

  6. No, it is more like if McDonalds reached out to the government to provide free food stamps that can only be used at McDonalds and a few more hand selected places for good measure.

  7. Re:Fake meat is for cows. on A Fresh Take On Fake Meat · · Score: 1

    What is up with this cow posts on every news?

  8. Re:The ice cream method on New Website Offers Provably Fair Solutions To Everyday Problems · · Score: 1

    What if you want to share it between three kids?

  9. Re:Battery life on First Intel 14nm Broadwell Core M Benchmarks Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Given how disposable tablets are now, I rather they make it cheap rather than adding only a 20-30%battery life (numbers taken from my ass). Wake me up when you can have a 5x battery life improvement.

  10. IOI on Summer Programming Courses Before Heading Off To College? · · Score: 1

    Since nobody suggested it, I learned way more from competing on IOI (http://www.ioinformatics.org/index.shtml) that my entire CS degree.
