    Fear, it's all about creating fear, so people become like putty.

  2. Re:Who paid for the report? on MIT Says Natural Gas Best To Lower Carbon Emissions · · Score: 0

    The problem with judging the pollution regarding Nuclear is that it only takes one mistake to completely change the statistics. I would like to see the safety stats before and after Chernobyl. And yes, it could happen anywhere, any engineer worth his salt knows nothing is impossible.

    What part of you thinks that anyone considers NG Green?

  4. Re:Skyhook competitor on Google Says It Mistakenly Collected Wi-Fi Data While Mapping · · Score: 0

    My HTC Windows Mobile has this too. I live in the middle of nowhere out of cell range and it now knows that my Wifi AP corresponds to my GPS location (the phone has GPS too) , so when I go home, even though GPS isn't on it knows I'm at home. I believe it is the Google Location Service that provides this Data to HTC.

  11. Re:That Explains The Updated SDK on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 0

    Most people who read email actually like to write it too. An on-screen keyboard just doesn't cut it, and plus, the screen stays "up" on it's own, no need to be held and then when you're finished you can close it all up to protect the screen. I'm not sure anyone has actually imagined sat on the sofa with this thing, wrist aching from holding it and compensating for key presses. Awful invention, if it had come with the "oh so maligned these days" stylus it might have had some utility.

    Not too many iPADs needed then.

  13. Re:Now's the Time on Google Buzz — First Reactions · · Score: 1

    I always"log out" of Facebook after a viewing session due to privacy concerns. The new layout makes logging out that little bit more difficult. Instead of being in the top toolbar it's now hidden in the "account" menu. 2 clicks instead of one. They really do not like our privacy and seem to be continually trying to erode it.

    I just finished changing my brake pads and forgot to press the pedal before I reversed downhill from my garage. I had no brakes and only yanking hard on the parking brake stopped a collision with my house. Your license to be self righteous is hereby revoked.

    Shifting zero's and one's around isn't work. Nothing is being "lifted". Information has no mass. The losses in IT are almost totally inefficiencies, and that includes the light from your LCD monitor (see e-ink).

    NIce way to intellectualise something very simple. Slashdot IS generally anti-MS, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing, but to somehow construct some elaborate theory as to why it's not so is a tad silly methinks.
