  1. Space is cool and all on SpaceX To Attempt Falcon 9 Landing On Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship · · Score: 1

    But our methods of getting there and back are downright comical...

  2. Re:how much it will cost to desalinate water? on 11 Trillion Gallons of Water Needed To End California Drought · · Score: 1

    Consider which is cheaper. Desalinating and transporting the water, or just letting the place dry up. The most expedient for the time being is rationing. That is probably what will happen, and most people will go along. *Sacrifices must be made*

  3. Re:How is this different than the clipper chip? on Verizon "End-to-End" Encrypted Calling Includes Law Enforcement Backdoor · · Score: 1

    We all know damn well that those assholes were NOT representing their constituents when they voted on that one.

    So what? 95% still win reelection every single time. People want to believe the lies and continue to vote for overt liars. I wouldn't know how to combat that yet.

  4. Who cares what it means? Are people buying it? on Verizon "End-to-End" Encrypted Calling Includes Law Enforcement Backdoor · · Score: 1

    That would be the news to report.

  5. Re:Perhaps the need a bigger highway? on Waze Causing Anger Among LA Residents · · Score: 1

    I don't care about capacity. I am only concerned about safety and comfort. People need to give space. The tailgating has to stop, until we get our self driving cars.

  6. Re:Let me be the first to say... on Want To Influence the World? Map Reveals the Best Languages To Speak · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sorry, it's "mejorar! mejorar!" and don't forget "Por favor" and maybe a small 'propina'.

  7. Wrong "Ay"...

  8. Re:How far will it go? on Jaguar and Land Rover Just Created Transparent Pillars For Cars · · Score: 2

    It will go very far. The same tech is going to be used for the new windowless airliners coming out, very soon now.

  9. No me gusta!

  10. Re:DOCUMENTS? on Sony Demands Press Destroy Leaked Documents · · Score: 2

    Well, let's hope that any elected officials who take the money are voted out next time. /fantasy

  11. Re:DOCUMENTS? on Sony Demands Press Destroy Leaked Documents · · Score: 1

    Must be juicy stuff! Judi Dench wasn't completely written out...

  12. Re:Perhaps the need a bigger highway? on Waze Causing Anger Among LA Residents · · Score: 1

    Give them a thousand lanes and people will find a way to jam them all up... If everybody stopped tailgating and always trying to be 'first', the traffic jams will clear up in an instant. It's too bad the 'three second' rule isn't law.

  13. Re:Go for it Sony on Sony Pictures Leak Reveals Quashed Plan To Upload Phony Torrents · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I hear they're having a bit of trouble with the new Bond film.

  14. Re:Not that surprising thanks to CALEA on Govt Docs Reveal Canadian Telcos Promise Surveillance Ready Networks · · Score: 1

    ...just so long as it's not abused...

    Priceless!

  15. Re:Not that surprising thanks to CALEA on Govt Docs Reveal Canadian Telcos Promise Surveillance Ready Networks · · Score: 2

    Worthless? To whom? Maybe you forgot who they work for.

  16. More power to Google on Spanish Media Group Wants Gov't Help To Keep Google News In Spain · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The newspapers are the greedy ones. They want to be listed prominently for free and then charge for the content of the list! Hey, if they close the deal, great. Business is business.

  17. Re:Not really missing vinyl on Vinyl Record Pressing Plants Struggle To Keep Up With Demand · · Score: 2

    Could that 'warmth' simply be emulated by an adjustment of the equalizers?

    Not only that, you can synthesize the pops and clicks to make it sound really natural. And for you cassette tape fans, you can add hiss. It's the same with this new HD video stuff. Everything looks like a daytime TV soap opera now. Video is like cheese, it's better with a little fuzz around the edges. I personally run all my Bond films through a 'hair in the film gate' effect...

    For digital I do prefer 24bit and 96k, "just in case". There are 'sounds' you don't hear but do feel, both above and below sonic range.

  18. Re:sometimes regrettable, somewhat necessary on 'Revolving Door' Spins Between AT&T, Government · · Score: 1

    You still provide no legal incentive or mandate to insert such a clause into the contract. Nobody is going to do it. You are living a fantasy. Besides your idea is dumb and harmful to the person. Everybody has the right to work when and where they please. I wouldn't let you take that away, not in a million years. The best thing to do is to make sure no company is granted a monopoly contract that locks out competition. That also will require legislation, but we won't get it with the present crowd in congress. The voters elect corrupt individuals who can't resist temptation. That's where the problem is. Leave the workers alone...

  19. Re:sometimes regrettable, somewhat necessary on 'Revolving Door' Spins Between AT&T, Government · · Score: 1

    You said nothing. Where is this 'clause' going to come from? Under what section of the U.S. Code can I find this? Who will enforce it? And how? Absent any legislation, what incentive is there to include such a clause if there is no perceived benefit to any the affected parties?

  20. Re: Shocking! on Hollywood's Secret War With Google · · Score: 1

    You're wagging the dog. Business writes the rules. The government exists to enforce them.

  21. Re:sometimes regrettable, somewhat necessary on 'Revolving Door' Spins Between AT&T, Government · · Score: 1

    Yeah? And by what method do you expect to apply this 'pressure'?

  22. Re:Buying new "mobile devices" from AT&T? on 'Revolving Door' Spins Between AT&T, Government · · Score: 1

    They are not 'wasting' anything. That money goes to the finest hookers and coke on the planet.

  23. So, Holder was the source, eh? on Attorney General Won't Force New York Times Reporter To Reveal Source · · Score: 1

    Good reason to avoid any unwanted attention...

  24. Re:Blame Canada! on Canadian Supreme Court Rules In Favor of Warrantless Cellphone Searches · · Score: 1

    Just goes to show that having more than two political factions in the government doesn't really make a difference. Don't expect anything until it is purged, and done so on a regular basis.

  25. Water came from asteroids... on Rosetta Results: Comets "Did Not Bring Water To Earth" · · Score: 1

    Didn't planet earth come from 'asteroids'?
