  1. Re: Blizzard Shizzard on Blizzard Sues Starcraft II Cheat Creators · · Score: 1

    Thats a massive overstretched of freedom of speech. What next you going to claim steeling is a form of self expression and should be protected by freedom of speech

  2. Re: Except nobodies doing that on Rising Sea Level Could Put East Coast Nuclear Plants At Risk · · Score: 1

    But when it come to net energy gain (usable energy minus energy spent on generate/capture it, on facility maintinence, and to transport it) wind is by far superior. Out of all available energy sources, wind has the highest net energy while nuclear has the lowest. Nuclear power plants have a limited life span before they have to be decomisioned. They are extremely expensive to decomision and there is no economicaly feasable way to do it. Thats why their net energy is so low. Forget all concerns about the saftey of nuclear power. It for reasons purely economical that we should be going away from nuclear power.

    Its the oil and coal industries that are providing false scientific studies and propaganda. They spend billions of dollars every year on a false information campaign against man made climate change.

  4. Niether on Future of Cars: Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Or Electric? · · Score: 1

    The fuel for hydrogen fuel cell is bi-product of burning fossil fuels. So its still dependent on a disappearing non renewable fuel source . Eventually when gas prices become to high, mass transit system and bicycles will become the way of the future.

  5. Most of riseing sea level on Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans As Antarctic Ice Melts · · Score: 1

    Melting antartic wont affect the sea levels nearly as much as simple thermal expansion will, as water warms it expands, a few degrees increase in ocean tempratures from climate change will cause ocean levels to rise much more than melting ice will.

  6. Its not likely to ever happen on Study: Earthlings Not Ready For Alien Encounters, Yet · · Score: 1

    Its more likely that ftl technology necessary for such a contact isn't even possible regardless of any scientific advancement by any civilization, human or other wise

  7. The only ethical issue that truly matters on Autonomous Car Ethics: If a Crash Is Unavoidable, What Does It Hit? · · Score: 1

    Would autonomous self driving cars decrease or increase the amount of automotive related deaths and accidents. If self driving cars reduce automotive accidents and deaths nation wide by 90% then these other ethical dilemmas are insignificant in comparison

  8. Re: Well for once I agree with religious crazies on UAE Clerics' Fatwa Forbids Muslims From Traveling To Mars · · Score: 1

    Bring all the food you need is easily possible, Bring plant life thats highly efficient at converting CO2 to Oxygen is possible. Using solar energy should be relatively easy since mars has very thin atmosphere.

  9. Re: Well for once I agree with religious crazies on UAE Clerics' Fatwa Forbids Muslims From Traveling To Mars · · Score: 1

    If i decide to make a one way trip to europe and never return thats not suicide thats retirement, granted a trip mars might not have shorter lifespan due to a lack of fully staffed and equipped medical facility. But packing enough food for a life time is feasible. There no reason you cant live a long life mars

  10. Perspective from computer science on Mathematician: Is Our Universe a Simulation? · · Score: 1

    There isn't enough matter in the universe to build a computer that could simulated the universe that extensively and accurately. Think how many atoms are in a computer thats only powerful enough to accurately simulate a single atom and its mechanics. Think of it as a ratio (computers mass) to (simulated mass). With out any research i can tell you its way more more than a 2 to 1 ratio. Meaning it would take more mass than what exists in the universe to accurately simulate a universe, unless we figure out how to make a powerful super computer with a single atom.

  11. Not with population growth on Star Trek Economics · · Score: 1

    We're not getting closer to that reality we are getting farther, and we'll continue to get farther as long as our population continues to grow exponentially. Our population would have to shrink before this could become a reality

  12. Carpenters aren't expected to make mistakes and a good one rarely make mistakes, so when the do its there responsibility to fix them at their own expense. Bugs are a un avoidable consequence of writing code. No matter how good you are, mistakes are unavoidable. And until the program is complete enough to run and test its impossible to find all of them.

  13. Cheeper health care on Big Pharma Presses US To Quash Cheap Drug Production In India · · Score: 1

    Cheeper drugs means cheeper health care. For allot of people that would make a huge difference. I know the situation isn't quite that sim, but i think we could make a huge leap in the nations if we reexamine the laws and regulation around the drug industry and figure out what can be done to drive prices done

  14. The answer is simple on Do Hypersonic Missiles Make Defense Systems Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Most threat will be from third world countries and terrorist organizations that don't have hypersonic missiles and wont have them for a long time if ever at all

  15. Re: Wow on Largest-Yet EVE Online Battle Destroys $200,000 Worth of Starships · · Score: 1

    Money never is really lost. Its simply transferred between people and organizations. Money lost during due to hurricanes damage isn't lost. Its merely transferred to people who repair damage and to others who are paid to deal with the after math. Its resources which are actually lost not money.

  16. Sad on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 1

    That's all there is to say about this. This no way to make sense of this. It's hard to imagine that the shooter was anything but mentally ill. Nothing but a sad tragic event.

  17. Re: Appropriate Supreme Court Quote on Court Rules Against Online Anonymity · · Score: 1

    This is a significantly different scenario. We're not talking protestors of an oppressive government, we're talking about reviews of commercially sold products. reviews that are supposed to help consumers make educated decisions when spending their hard earn money. How are they supposed to do that if they cant even confirm if a review is from a legitimate customer or a competitive company.

  18. Re: They can't stop unlockers on Apple Denies Helping NSA Subvert iPhone · · Score: 1

    Cause its apple, one of the biggest powerful international companies in the world. They're probably better at gathering information then NSA, and they most definitely have more and better IT workers then the NSA.

  19. This is why on NSA Drowns In Useless Data, Impeding Work, Former Employee Claims · · Score: 1

    This is why i never cared if the NSA was spying on me. Cause odds are that my personal data they collect will never be seen by human eyes at the NSA cause they have so much of it, so its the same as them not spying on me.

  24. Re: I'm sure its nothing on R2-D2: Mall Cop · · Score: 1

    Dude its an internet comment board, a highly informal means of communication, not a professional or academic document. Spelling and grammar isn't generally not expected, but it would be appreciated if you were more respectful to others here.
