  2. Watch out when we invent artificial intelligence on Robots Compete In Navigating Simulation Of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Plant · · Score: 4, Funny

    You know things like cleaning up nuclear power plants is the first thing we will use it for. No wonder robots rebel in science fiction movies.

  3. Smart phone is IPv6 on How Ready Is IPv6 To Succeed IPv4? · · Score: 1

    My smart phone has had an IPv6 address since I bought it a couple of years ago. Cell companies had to go that way to get enough addresses to handle the move to smartphones.

  10. My Car and Bike are Metric on Presidential Candidate Lincoln Chaffee Proposes That US Go Metric · · Score: 3, Informative

    All the nuts and bolts in my car and bike are metric. The bike is made in the good old US of A. Everyone knows what a 2-liter soda is, why can't they figure out what a 2-liter bottle of milk is? We are partially converted. We use 35mm film (old people, at least) and 9mm ammo. Anyone who has been in the military has done everything in metric, it's not that difficult. It is hard to change everything. Even countries you changed decades ago still use old units. England and Ireland are full of examples of that. The most noticeable change will be road signs. It's not that hard to learn that 60 mph is 100 kph. We will have to watch out during the transition. A Canadian airliner ran out of fuel half way due to bad conversions from gallons/pounds to liter/kilograms during their changeover.

  11. Re:Say what? on Mystery Moon Swirls Caused By Blasts of Comet Gas? · · Score: 4, Informative

    A comet has a core, a coma and a tail. When the comet hits the Moon, the core may leave a crater. The coma and tail still impact, they are made of physical objects, but they are just gas and dust. The authors are saying the swirl patterns are caused by the impact of this gas and dust. It is not ejected from the crater.

    In their defense, they did find 100% of the water bottles being smuggled through. At least we are protected from that threat.

    I could use all my camping equipment in the comfort of my own home.

  22. Re:Tesla enables Edison to win the endgame? on How Tesla Batteries Will Force Home Wiring To Go Low Voltage · · Score: -1

    AC is still the only way to send electricity any distance. Edison wanted to have a power station in each city block. Once AC is to the home, converting to DC makes some sense. Remember, this is low voltage DC, not 110 volt that Edison wanted to use.

    Google didn't modify the source code. They didn't even use the source code. Why would they have to follow the GPL?
