    Yes but would you consider yourself an average NASCAR fan?

    Which would be fine if those commercials were only shown during programs that weren't made for families. Watching something with the kids a commercial comes on. You go tothe kitchen to grab a bite and little Timmy is pulling on your pants leg asking whats an erection b/c if he has one for 4 hours or longer he should go to the hospital

    No. Come on do you really believe that a a significant fraction of NASCAR fans are interested in the actual science of it? Even if they are interested in the pit crew its not for the science of it.

  4. Re:Heinlein quote. on Louis Friedman Says Humans Will Never Venture Beyond Mars (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    I love AMD too and have been running them exclusively since my athlon xp but unless their new line is amazine my next build will be intel. They have just fallen too far behind at this point.

  5. Just imagine when there are a few kids going around a neighborhood spray painting sensors on every self driving car on the street

  6. Re:How can there be? on No Such Thing As 'Unlimited' Data (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    No what they marketed it as was unlimited data but at a certain rate. Whether I only go online to broswe youtube and watch netflix or i'm downloading GBs of data daily they promised access to the internet at a fixed speed. Its only now that everyone is cutting the cord and getting all there media online that they are pulling these shady tactics. What is the difference in cost to them if only 5% ever go above their cap anyways? whats the cost difference to transfer 400gb a month compared to their 250gb limit(my usage and my cap)?

  10. Re:I started in 1979 - I think tech is getting wor on More Tech, STEM Workers Voluntarily Quitting Their Jobs (dice.com) · · Score: 2

    I just got into an argument with someone over this being the reason we have to keep minimum wage. You give companies the ability to use peoples desperation for work as an incentive to for less and we will quickly see wages drop to sweat job levels in just a few years.

  11. Re:The right side of history on Freeman Dyson Talks Interstellar Travel, Climate Change, and More (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Climate change isn't just about an increase of just 2 degrees its also about shifting and changing of the actual climates any species unable to migrate or handle the changes which will be drastic in some places will not survive. Not to mention predators moving into new territories and imbalancing the local food chain.

  12. Re:The right side of history on Freeman Dyson Talks Interstellar Travel, Climate Change, and More (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Well from what I keep hearing the argument is that if we don't focus on climate change now it will be too late to try in the future. While the stuff he stated is true and those are important problems none will lead to the amount of death and extinction as climate change.

    Yeah I'm sure the world will be a safer place when NK gets their hands on real nukes.

    Yeah accept these rats never would have even came into being without science. All lab rats are specially bred. They need control groups or just rats with certain genes or traits.

  15. Re:Oh good, more contention. on Worries Mount Over Upcoming LTE-U Deployments Hurting Wi-Fi · · Score: 2

    I argue for minimum wage. Does that make me a 1%er too? Where can I pick up my check?

  22. Re:Non-removable apps on FTC Begins Investigating Google For Antitrust Violations Over "Home Screen Advantage" · · Score: 1

    No but i think the issue is that Google apps are pre-installed on Android phones. I mean why look for another map program when I already have Google Maps and can't uninstall it so I have space for a different map app.
