  3. Re:20 gigs? on Australia's National Broadband Network Officially Open For Business · · Score: 1

    Got a spare room cause i just packed a bag. Cold weather sounds lovely to me.

  4. Re:Fast-charging is BAD on The Quest For an EV Fast-Charge Standard · · Score: 1

    I agree. Batteries are a high resistance storage method right? They don't accept power quickly and if you try to force it in the battery says fuck mein leben, this guy... Isn't that the reason they try and integrate super-caps with the regenerative braking system? So that they capture the bulk of the energy generated from the wheels and then trickle it back into the battery or used to give the electric engine the initial acceleration boost up to the speed limit. From a cold stop is where my instant Liters/per 100kms spikes, not that im a leadfoot. Project better place, as mentioned, has the better option in the long run, battery swap stations. The entire reason he thought of this idea was to eliminate the cost of vehicle manufacturers selling the 'well' of power with the car making it alot more expensive than traditional engines. By separating out this power source and offering it for lease like a mobile phone contract, it can work.

  5. Im happy.. on Australians Look To SkyNet For SKA Telescope · · Score: 2

    Since the SKA was going to be built close to my town of Geraldton(300kms is close in aussie terms) we got non-monopoly controlled backhaul fibre at our exchange quicker. Its also going to be part of the FTTH network eventually so two birds with 1 cable.. Not that last mile is going in the ground anytime soon but hey, progress.

  6. Re:Makes Sense... on New Laser Data Transfer Rate Record Set At 26 Tbps · · Score: 1

    So the low slot tracking mod 'Fourier Transform' in EVE Online isnt total bullshit?

  7. coincidence? on Osama Bin Laden Reported Dead, Body In US Hands · · Score: 1

    So Bin laden was found and killed because Sony leaked his personal details?

  8. Re:Magnetic Fields ... on Solar Breakthrough Could Provide Power Without Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    fking miracles

  9. ISPs on NZL Govt Rushes Thru Controversial Anti-Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    It's hard to see ISP's policing this at all.. even if there is a law to disconnect someone, they are basically going to either a). end to end encrypt their traffic or b) lose customers to competitor ISPs (if their exist)

  10. lol on Scientists Give NASA Planetary Marching Orders · · Score: 0, Troll

    Am i the only immature one to giggle at the request for them to study uranus

  11. Crimebook hehe on Teenagers Jailed For Criminal Version of Facebook · · Score: 5, Funny

    I would have thought the police would have allowed a 'crimebook' to continue if it lived up to the assumption of the name. I'm sure coppers already have their own crimebook and could use this as second life.

  12. Mcdonalds on Sharks Seen Swimming Down Australian Streets · · Score: 1

    In other news Mcdonalds announced a brand new McBull Shark Burger. Limited time only while stock lasts.

  13. Seriously? on China Censors 60,000 Porn Sites, 5,000 Arrested · · Score: 2

    They couldn't have gotten another guy without the first name Wang for this story? That is priceless.

  14. They sell the game. on What's the Importance of Graphics In Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Flashy graphics appeal to people visually and stimulate you before you get to play the game and judge it's actual value. I'd say that to make a game look the best is a marketing decision for the screenshots and the trailers to sell the game.
