    That will never be possible when you're on their wire. never never never... The entire concept is absurd.

  9. Re:Containment on Alloy Could Produce Hydrogen Fuel Using Sunlight · · Score: 1

    ...use the energy to pump water uphill

    Seems kinda silly since nature already does that for us.. I would say just burn it to hear the cool sound it makes

  12. Re:The "browser" is becoming the new thin client on Google Is Grooming Chrome As a Game Platform · · Score: 1

    Even the browser (another name for 'program suite') runs on the server.. A real thin client is just a keyboard and a monitor

    Until they're just pink in the middle..

  17. autonomous from national carriers on Low-Cost DIY Cell Network Runs On Solar · · Score: 1

    Nice to see this given the priority it needs. Now, hook up one of these, and you're on your way

  18. Oooo.. check in deals! Binspam! on Facebook Kills Places, Deals Products · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What, is Slashdot gonna print every press release from these people on the front page? I mean really, who gives a fuck about facebook, except the damn teeny boppers? What can't you people do a writeup on Redhat 5.2 running on a Mac Performa, or something?

  19. Re:Killing time zones makes it more arbitrary on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    The day has to start somewhere. And it would make sense to move the prime meridian to that point instead of having it 180 degrees out of phase. It's still in England as a legacy/political thing. It's like keeping x86 architecture around for a few thousand years.

    Note: I also want to rearrange calculator keypads to be the same as those on a phone. 123 on top.

  20. Re:Killing time zones makes it more arbitrary on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    No, the IDL is where it is so the planet's day can change is a virtually uninhabited area, and that's why the prime meridian should be there also, so the day isn't already 12 hours old when it reaches the present one.

  21. Killing time zones makes it more arbitrary on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    Why set it to UTC? Still trying to keep the British Empire alive? If they were to do this, set the zero point at the International Date Line, something a little more neutral, and just makes more sense. But I'm for keeping time zones. The sun still makes the best, most logical clock, and it's solar powered

  22. Pfft on Acer CEO Declares a Tablets Bubble · · Score: 1

    The tablets' one and only problem is price. And e-readers are still a big ripoff also.

  23. Oh the naivete! on Cybercrime Treaty Pushes Surveillance Worldwide · · Score: 2

    Do we expect anything less? Who couldn't see this coming from a thousand miles away? So let's start hearing some good news about real ad hoc networks that can actually keep us out of reach.. And please, if you all are gonna squeal about using encryption over their wire, save your breath. It won't work

  24. Re:has kept records in accordance with the law on SEC Hit With Data Destruction Complaint · · Score: 1

    I certainly hope you're not being set up...

  25. has kept records in accordance with the law on SEC Hit With Data Destruction Complaint · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it has.. considering who wrote the rules, it's easy to see how none were broken.. There will be much much noise and outrage, and then... nothing.. It's hardly worth reporting this stuff when we all know nothing will come of it. The system will stand strong as ever.
