  1. Re:So? on Nuclear Power Prevents More Deaths Than It Causes · · Score: 2

    Meanwhile, 300,000 people a year die to air pollution. That beats Chernobyl's total by a factor of 75.

    Yeah but those slowly accumulate over the year and so are easier to ignore.

  2. Re:Awesome on HBO Says Game of Thrones Piracy Is "a Compliment" · · Score: 1

    HBO is owned by time warner. Good luck with that.

  3. Re:No shit on HBO Says Game of Thrones Piracy Is "a Compliment" · · Score: 1

    Are you of the opinion that a woman *can't* make herself more inclined to be raped? It's always wrong to rape someone, but only focusing on punishing rapists instead of also looking at institutional problems is a big mistake.

    Also, I'm still talking about piracy.

  4. Re:3 questions on IBM Dipping Chips In 'Ionic Liquid' To Save Power · · Score: 1

    Also, how big is it? From the picture in the article it looks like 20um technology which wouldn't be viable for ICs unless they find a way to shrink it substantially.

  5. Re:Mildly annoying on Apple Faces Lawsuit For Retina MacBook Pro 'Ghosting' Issue · · Score: 1

    It's not about how it effects functionality. The car analogy would be buying a really expensive brand new car which comes with a nice dent. It doesn't effect performance or comfort, but who in their right mind would be satisfied with that?

    Damn, I usually have mod points. It's like I've got 10000 spoons when all I need is a knife.

  8. Re:ad networks on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 1

    Flashblock takes care of most animated ads. It's a shame people don't use that instead going full on adblock.

  9. Re:Is Flashblock "blocking ads"? on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 2

    Who cares. They don't deserve the revenue for flash ads. I think most people with adblock would find that they can end up blocking 95% of the annoying ads with flashblock alone.

    It's like they didn't even test thing. I use UC and it doesn't even scroll properly. Fail.

    Example (maybe slightly nsfw, could probably get away with it)

  15. Re:Where are the hybrids??? on Hard Drive Revenue About To Take a Double-Digit Dip · · Score: 1

    First of all, I don't know how many games you would want to play at one time that take 700 gigs. Aside from that, I think windows can make a hybrid drive setup for you if there's flash memory available (ssd, usb stick etc). 2 TB HDD plus 30 gig SSD is probably the cheapest way to go hybrid.

  16. Re:Killed by DRM and licensing on Sony To Make Its Last MiniDisc System Next Month · · Score: 1

    CD-RW prices never really fell enough to be feasible. It was always better to buy a huge spool of cheap CD-Rs.

  17. Re:Mind boggling on AT&T: Don't Want a Data Plan for That Smartphone? Too Bad. · · Score: 1

    I've been doing it with multiple smartphones for years. Sorry to burst your bubble, but they get info on the phone by IMEI. If it isn't in their system (branded) they either don't have info on it or don't care.

  18. Re:Mind boggling on AT&T: Don't Want a Data Plan for That Smartphone? Too Bad. · · Score: 2

    It's not actually as bad as the post claims. T-mobile doesn't do this, and even with AT&T you can get a non-AT&T branded smartphone and use it on their network without a problem.

  19. Re:Kinda on Can Any Smartphone Platform Overcome the Android/iOS Duopoly? · · Score: 1

    Amazon did it by making a cheap tablet when all that existed was the iPad and touchpad. If RIM released some nice hardware and sold it for 200 dollars without contract like Amazon did with the kindle then they might have a shot. Amazon makes up the difference in content sales, I'm not sure RIM can do the same. Maybe if businesses really really want BES they can make up the difference, but I don't really see that either.

  20. Re:I'd expect that... on Can Any Smartphone Platform Overcome the Android/iOS Duopoly? · · Score: 1

    Android's email program sucks as of ICS. No matter what you set the auto-checking frequency to (off included) it will wake the phone up when there's no internet connection and eat your battery. There's also a glitch in syncing recurring calendar events that causes an infinite loop sometimes and drains your battery to nothing within hours.

  21. Re:Cancelled today on Time Warner Boosts Broadband Customer Speed — But Only Near Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    I used to live in that area (cary) and I switched to UVerse from ATT, which is like FiOS from verizon. I got a solid 12 Mbps for the same price without any outages or slowdowns etc. I've heard from an ATT rep that they're not expanding UVerse as much recently because they would rather invest in greater LTE coverage. It's sad really, I'd much prefer UVerse.

  22. Re:And what does it solve exactly? on New York Passes Landmark Gun Law · · Score: 1

    Cars are useful, doctors are useful, matches are useful, gasoline is useful. Assault weapons are made to exactly one thing which has no use by civilians and could be very problematic for unsuspecting citizens. Banning them isn't going to prevent gun murders, but it might prevent a few and, seeing as how there's no reason to keep them legal, let's save those few lives.
