    Really, the only difference between the 2 is preparation and caution. You'd be a bit naive to think that Edward's life was in no jeopardy as he made his revelations. Being well prepared and smarter about his revelations allowed him to avoid such a fate.

  3. Re:Space station on Cassini Probe Sees Plastic Ingredient On Titan Moon · · Score: 2

    I do not think there would be any oxygen dissolved in the ice. That oxygen would have to have come from the atmosphere, not from the molecules. If anything, there would be dissolved methane trapped in the ice.

    No, I think that your only source of oxygen would be from electrolysis. But one should safely assume that any space station capable of succeeding anywhere, would have to be build with the capability of producing excesses of energy (nuclear or chemical).

    Who knows, by then we may have a relay of satellites that focus and transmit solar energy.

    I you trolling me now? Which is it, "it's not geolocation shite either" or "netflixUK != netflix US" which one are you going to pick?

    AC said "it's not on Netflix"

    I say, "either you are wrong and spreading misinformation, or it's some form of geolocation shite" then you say, it's not misinformation, nor is it geolocation.

    The message is not coming across correctly here.

  7. Re:Netflix on Apple Offers Refund To Stiffed Breaking Bad Season Pass Customers · · Score: 1

    AC said it wasn't available on Netflix, and got modded +5 informative, yet I watch it on Netflix each week, so it is misinformation.

    If it is not misinformation, and is not available in the US, then it is geolocation shite.

    As far as I'm concerned, Riven was the pinnacle of the series.

    I feel I have to agree here.

    I was referring mostly to movies and other fictional TV. Hell, even the T-1000 only used the police car's computer while it was parked.

  16. Re:Netflix on Apple Offers Refund To Stiffed Breaking Bad Season Pass Customers · · Score: 1

    Here in Ireland, we get the latest Breaking Bad episodes on a Monday (I watch them during my lunch break). So this is either misinformation, or just another example of stupid geo-location-shite.

  17. Re:Officer dickhead is a dickhead. on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I disagree, I nearly caused my very own accident because I was trying to confirm my location using Google maps on my phone. I've since wise'd up and learned that I should either pull over and check it, or leave it very well alone. Nowadays, I turn on voice to it gives me the directions and then turn off the screen. I'm only driving 1 & 1/2 years and though I've passed my test, I'm still learning.

    You should have nothing going on IN your car that takes your mind off what's happening OUT of your car.

    Well, I guess you'll have to confirm they were using them as they were in control of a vehicle in drive mode, and not parked on the side of the road, or the computer was operated by a passenger. I must admit that my experience of this comes from American TV, but I can't recall seeing someone operate the computer whilst in the act of driving. They usually run plates after they have pulled the offender over and the car is parked.

    I must say though, I have seen them use their radio while driving, which is clearly a communications device.

    The Safety bit always gets me.

    I hate driving because of the exact same problem you say exists for future autonomous cars. I don't trust human drivers to be safe. We conveniently ignore the statistic of how many people die in car accidents currently because motorised transport is just so essential to us. 20,000 deaths a year due to Autonomous cars would be an improvement.
