  1. Re:Is it really an issue on How To Avoid a Scramble For the Moon and Its Resources · · Score: 1

    Cheap satellites and space probes. A big substantial part of the cost of a satellite is the rocket you need to put it in orbit from earth. If you can mine resources from the moon you use those resource to build and launch satellites from the moon low gravity.

  7. Re:No media server support upsets me on Sony Issues Detailed PS4 FAQ Ahead of Launch · · Score: 1

    Yeah it mostly about selling media. Sony did not care that we had a media server on the ps3 when they did not have a video store. I be piss if just about every device in my house did not already support it anyway. The HDTV in my living room to my tablet both have it the laptop and the gaming rig are both running XBMC and if I wanted to have a cheap dongle I could get one for a few bucks.

    Yeah same here when I changed from DSL to Fiber it totally fucked up my Geolocation probably because Bell main "Fibe" servers are in Montreal.

  12. Re:Old fashion idea on Aussie Company Planning To Use Drones For Textbook Delivery · · Score: 1

    You could use small drones to provide movable access point and then send digital books and the rest of the internet while you're at it.

  14. Re:Look past the article's version of the cast ... on New York Subpoenaed AirBnb For All NYC User Data · · Score: 2

    Bloomberg is part of the establishment hell at 31B he IS the establishment and the establishment hate nothing more than disruptive innovation. The existing pecking order depend entirely on the continuation of the satus quo. Bloomberg might not own any hotel but I guarantee he heard bitching from his "friends" who own them.

  15. It even worse I don't think they even sell the damn thing separately. Apple at least has a business model for doing that kind of shit. It a scumbag model but at least they got one. AMD just complicated their adapter that they don't even sell you get it with the cards!

  16. That an interesting question they package the damn adapter with the cards anyway. It not like they gonna start selling the card 50 cents cheaper and not include it.

  17. War crime, what war crime? on Red Cross Wants Consequences For Video-Game Mayhem · · Score: 1

    I never or rarelly see a shooter that allow you to even commit any war crime. You can't kill/torture prisoners since military shooters never let the other side surrender you can't kill or torture civillian and children since they don't exist in 99.999% of all military shooters. The only game that I can think of that all about commiting wholescale genocide is DEFCON. This is the kind of crap that peoples who don't really know the gaming scene will come up with.

    More to the point having prior knowledge mean that they could prepare to make way better trades than what the automatic system are capable off.

  21. Re:I do not understand why this is a story on Somebody Stole 7 Milliseconds From the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    Whoever set this up wanted to be at the exact time that the news was legal to cover their tracks they made a mistake and the computers code pushed the button 7 millisecond too soon. The good news is that the market keep extremely accurate records it has to because of high frequency trading. The bad news the way bankers own the goverment I don't think anybody gonna see the inside of a cell. Now here a better question why is the feds releasing that kind of news in the middle of the day?

  22. Re:What will this mean for Steam on other distros? on Valve Announces Linux-Based SteamOS · · Score: 1

    I think everything will likely be cooked inside the Steam for Linux Client if that the case and you're already running it you're set one day you get a big update and that it or at worse you have to add a repo or two.

  25. Re:Great Deal on A Subscription-Based Movie Theater · · Score: 1

    The day pass is a great deal how many movie would I really want to pay $16 for? Not that many but I pay $16 to spend a whole day at the theatre once in a while maybe watch the same movie twice or take a chance for your second or third movie on something you're not sure you like but are curious. It change the whole experience from one of quick consumption to one of exploration.
