  1. If you want safety and long term reliability on Plunging Battery Prices Expected To Spur Renewable Energy Adoption · · Score: 1

    You can't go wrong with nickel-iron. You will need to add a large extension to the house though.

  2. Re:Flow Batteries on Plunging Battery Prices Expected To Spur Renewable Energy Adoption · · Score: 2

    On the negative side, flow batteries are rather complicated in comparison with standard batteries as they may require pumps, sensors, control units and secondary containment vessels.

    Rube Goldberg reaches from the grave. For some reason people think complex means advanced.

  3. Re:When we say "tech industry" ... on Where the Tech Industry's Political Donations Are Going · · Score: 1

    which means it's really a measure of how influential CEOs are, and is in no way representative of the thousands of people who work for those companies.

    I don't see any rules that require those thousands of people who work for those companies to vote for any specific politician. The money should not make one bit of difference.

  4. Re:this has nothing to dow ith the tech industry on Where the Tech Industry's Political Donations Are Going · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You have a free will, right? Just don't vote for the people who take their money. Otherwise don't complain. Problem solved.

  5. To support this, they need lots of contributions on Where the Tech Industry's Political Donations Are Going · · Score: 1

    To hell with them all! If we don't turn our backs, next campaign will cost 50 billion. All this does is reward corruption. But, if that's what people want, all I can say is, *knock yourselves out*. Just remember all your complaints go straight to the round file.

    Eh, let it slide then, I'm easy...

  7. Re:Subsidies are okay. Exclusivity is not. on CenturyLink Takes $3B In Subsidies For Building Out Rural Broadband · · Score: 1

    The government isn't mandated to charge reasonable rates for services.

    Then we shall, with our votes. Public financing demands public oversight.

  8. Re: Subsidies are okay. Exclusivity is not. on CenturyLink Takes $3B In Subsidies For Building Out Rural Broadband · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Complaining means squat. If they are paying the price they must be okay with it. It is the only reason the tickets cost 100+. If people don't turn their backs, I can hardly be expected to take their complaints seriously.

    Because nobody is demanding it.

  10. Subsidies are okay. Exclusivity is not. on CenturyLink Takes $3B In Subsidies For Building Out Rural Broadband · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If they take our money to build the line, they are acting as an agent of the state (so, yes we can say the government put in the line) and they must lease it out at reasonable rates.

  11. Re:They can film you in bed on Assange Says Harrods Assisting Metro Police in 'Round-the-Clock Vigil' · · Score: 1

  12. $92 billion in cash parked offshore on NSF Makes It Rain: $722K Award To Evaluate Microsoft-Backed TEALS · · Score: 0

    Nice little tax dodge we give away to them, huh? Eh, whatever, I guess we're all okay with it. It's not like this would ever be an election issue or anything. Certainly not in this cycle

    You can mod this offtopic if you want, but it was at the top of the summary, so I figure somebody is interested in the abyss where our money disappears

  19. It's not about the crime on Harshest Penalty for Alleged Rapist Was For Using a Computer To Arrange Contact With Teen · · Score: 0

    It's about facilitating prosecution. There are all sorts of reasons to do that. It's another 'probable cause' to bust down your door

    Weird isn't it? If I witness a crime and fail to report it, I can get in trouble. But this? WTF? I mean, if a witness has no standing, then his testimony should be worthless.

  23. Re:When The Lunatics Take Over The Asylum on French Woman Gets €800/month For Electromagnetic-Field 'Disability' · · Score: 1

    If you reward a thief for being one, you shouldn't blame him for stealing. It doesn't make sense.

    Apparently only the 'victim' has standing to make a case, not a mere witness.
