  7. Re:Pass the cost on and continue offering both on Mail Service Costs Netflix 20x More Than Streaming · · Score: 1

    If the increase the price people will just go to other services.....e.g. blockbuster who has (probably) similar amount to stream and easier access to discs because of their brick and mortar stores/infrastructure. I use and enjoy netflix's service, but if they increase the price again I'll start looking at what else there is.

  8. Re:More allergenic? on Scientists Advocate Replacing Cattle With Insects · · Score: 1
    Its actually quite well documented that the diet given to cows (mostly corn) alters the pH in their stomachs. Bacteria against which they have no defenses that normally would not survive in their stomach at normal pH levels (which they have evolutionarily - do you believe in evolution - adapted to having). This is the reason that large cow "farms"/feed-lots need to use so many antibiotics on the animals.

    Even more importantly the corn - which lowers the pH through acidosis, makes the stomach environment for the cow similar to that of a human. This means that bacterias which survive in the stomach will also survive in our stomach (E. Coli being the prime example)

    Here is one peer reviewed article article which discussed acidosis and the resultant effect - http://www.journalofdairyscience.org/article/S0022-0302(97)76026-0/abstract (Journal of Dairy Science - Volume 80, Issue 5 , Pages 1005-1028, May 1997)

  10. Re:Grow Ops in Marin? on California County Bans SmartMeter Installations · · Score: 1

    considering this is Marin County it doesn't really apply.... but having grown up in apartments, things like lights being on during the day, and cars parked in a driveway are not really my first indicators when I think of how to case a place.

  11. Re:Grow Ops in Marin? on California County Bans SmartMeter Installations · · Score: 1

    Other than police trying to sniff out those running a grow-op in their basement, its not too clear to me why anyone would want this information.

    As Devils advocate - You could probably figure out who is on vacation / away by hacking that information from the power company and looking for an abnormal drop over 1-2 days......but the electric companies might have that information hackable already.

    I'm not saying this is a reason not to do it, just adding a possible reason you wouldn't want that information "public"

    PS - I am happy that $1700 was donated by the top two "gamers", but am unsure how I feel about them using it essentially as $1700 for advertising that shows how "altruistic" the two organizations are.......thoughts?

    well I believe they cant enter your place of work without being let in or a warrant (though that would usually be trivial......"oh, we're here to search this desk....." guard: "sure, come on in", but once inside they can search your desk (though probably not anything thats in a locked drawer or box [i.e. a hard-drive])

    I'm from the USA, where they dont have them.

    In Europe (and likely elsewhere) they are the standard......think: portable version of the stuff you see at supermarkets (small isolated box you swipe card through, has touchpad, etc), brought to your table by a waitress [in my mind she is buxom and blond, but you can edit that part to your liking]
