  1. Re:What is there to turst? on Would You Trust an 80-Year-Old Nuclear Reactor? · · Score: 1

    Well the biggest reason is that a total meltdown at a nuclear reactor would release a LOT more radiation than the atomic bombs we dropped back in WWII.

  2. Re:If only there were another solution... on Would You Trust an 80-Year-Old Nuclear Reactor? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If the word nuclear is in any way shape or form associated with something it is evil and will kill millions of people and explode and spew radiation across the land because nuclear.

  3. Re:prepaid here i come on AT&T Introducing Verizon-Style Shared Data Plans · · Score: 1

    I hope you don't use a lot of data then. After your first 250MB of data on 3G speeds they slice your data speed way down to something not much better than dial up.

  4. Re:I wonder what happens in the Middle East. on Is Our Infrastructure Ready For Rising Temperatures? · · Score: 1

    They use concrete or a different mix of asphalt

  5. Shopped on Scientists Capture Shadow Cast By 1 Atom · · Score: 3, Funny

    That looks shopped.. you can tell by the pixels.

  6. Contradiction? on Caffeine Linked To Lower Skin Cancer Risk · · Score: 0

    Wait a second, everybody is telling me that caffeine gives me cancer, just like everything else in the world, lol. So it gives me one type of cancer while lowering my risk of another cancer, I think I can deal with that.

  7. Re:stopped using it? on Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button · · Score: 1

    I unpinned everything and just put the old quickstart menu back.

  8. Re:This is news? on Oil Exploration Ramps Up In US Arctic · · Score: 2

    Money makes everything happen, its just that sometimes you just need a little extra money to get things moving.

    But then children won't learn to grow up with an irrational fear of guns.

  10. Re:Incentive to get hitched! on Verizon Wireless Goes Ahead With 'Bucket' Data Plans · · Score: 1

    This plan is for those with multiple phones. They will still have plans for those with single lines which are not discussed in this article and will be cheaper.

  11. Re:Ron Wyden on US Senators Concerned With Surveillance Bill "Loophole" · · Score: 1

    I think whats almost as discouraging is that whenever something like this appears in the news its always two and every so often three senators who are raising concerns about this stuff. Its never a large bunch =/

    Those damned Canadians and their selfish ways!

  13. Re:Nukes will come back when they are safe on Committee Offers Scenarios for Japan's Energy Future · · Score: 2

    Thorium based reactors are pretty safe and with some investment you can build a few trash burning plants which produce fairly clean and cheap energy. Of course this requires people to actually learn about this sort of technology which isn't convenient for most people to do.

  14. Re:Fuck 'em. on Facebook, Zuckerberg Sued Over IPO · · Score: 1

    The article mentions an executive in the company disclosed information to a small group of investors. Since that individual works for Facebook and since Zuckerberg is the CEO they are going to get sued even if Zuckerberg played no roll in the disclosure of that information to a select group of people.

  15. Re:Yikes on Verizon To Kill All Unlimited Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Except you can't lock it in. They are doing away with it all together including those who were grandfathered in so when this change goes live your screwed and pushed down to limited. Of course as someone else mentioned this means you might be able to void the contract.

  16. Re:Will it work? on Inexpensive Nanosheet Catalyst Splits Hydrogen From Water · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Most people could care less about the future. Thinking ahead seems to scare a lot of people so they concentrate on the here and now until that future they ignored comes and smacks them in the face.

  17. Re:Good job japan! on Japan's Last Nuclear Reactor Shuts Down · · Score: 5, Insightful

    These activists seem to be against ALL forms of power
    No matter if its coal, gas, wind, hydro, solar, nuclear, tidal, or anything else these people are always there protesting its construction.

  18. Re:Time to move. on FBI: We Need Wiretap-Ready Web Sites — Now · · Score: 1

    You seem to forget how the US Government operates. The laws are passed and will go as far as they want them to go. Only later after someone has amassed enough support and money does the constitution and the question of how far have they gone come into play.

  21. Re:How many applications are they getting? on Dot-Word TLDs Further Delayed · · Score: 1

    Most large corporations out there are suckers for this sort of thing and some chunk of big name people/places/etc got suckered into this along with possible squatters who wanted to get in on the action to resell the TLD later in an attempt to make more money. Im sure every name brand item on the market went flooding the office to register .(brandnamehere).

    No, you still need to give it an AI system that goes berserk and chooses to kill humanity.

  24. Re:I still get a lot of spam on Good News: A Sustained Drop In Spam Levels · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What I have found is that after clicking the "unsubscribe me" button on letters I end up getting even more spam from other places. I think they use that as a way to confirm its a real email address to spam you with other junk.
