  1. Re:user error on People Who Claim To Worry About Climate Change Don't Cut Energy Use · · Score: 1

    Just in case we don't all change our behavior, though, they're chemtrailing the clouds with barium to lower the average global temp.. All it takes is one massive volcanic eruption and we'll never need an air conditioner again ;-( P.S. I actually like Antarctic cold and the sound of emperor penguins chilling in the 6 months dark.. It might not be for everybody, however....

    Surely, don't you know, that the entire plan of the climate change cabal is to encourage a change in human behavior? After all, look how well it's worked in the drug wars?

    Automatize? Seriously?

    I think the word you are looking for is automate.

    Not as idiotic as a word I once saw in a Slashdot story (burglarsize, I think it was), but close.

    Yup.. that one belongs with "orientated" and other oddities of the modern "High Edication" system..

  4. If I have a shoe store in the US.. on Obama Administration Says the World's Servers Are Ours · · Score: 1

    If my company has a shoe store in the US.. does that mean that now they can get our emails in , say, France, to do with a house building division based there? Where is the line? And why should they even be authorized to serve warrants for email unless it's an international incident? Where the hell is Interpol in all of this? Sounds heavy handed to me. THey're saying that the minute we send any email to anyone even if it never is written or read by any american thay have access to it.

  6. Re:send them to the usa on Chinese Couple Sells Children To Support Online Game Addiction · · Score: 1

    We will take these poor destitute kids and give them to our children's perversion services (cps) whose job is to take at risk kids who might be being molested by their evil nonconformist homeschooling parents and send them to a giant concentration camp where they are guaranteed to be molested. Social services depends on a steady supply of children to feed their bidget . No state senator or representative should have to spend a summer w/o the comfort of a nubile child. usian parents aren't having enough, so we need to import them from south / central america. President Obama has realized there is a crisis of not enough children so he is on the southern border to import more. It takes a village to molest a child, and the usian government is the village elders. The USA needs the worlds children.

    Is a Bidget some kind of "usian" child eating monster? Like the German witch in the Black Forest that cooked up poor Hans with carrots and potatos?

  7. Re:What's the point? on Nano-Pixels Hold Potential For Screens Far Denser Than Today's Best · · Score: 1

    Graphics artists claim they can sure tell. In my own experience I would tend to side with them, provided every other component of the artistry is up to that level of quality also... I mean, it's no help with a lousy scan or 16 bit color (not resolution!). It's not immediately apparent however until somebody shows you what to look for, and then it does become obvious, if, perhaps very subtle. It's exactly the same as Hi res audio.

  8. Re:Subject bait on A Skeptical View of Israel's Iron Dome Rocket Defense System · · Score: 1

    I worked on the beginning of Regan's Star Wars project. We viewed the problem as one in which you try to stop a bullet with a bullet. Add long range and intelligence to the bullet and the problem gets harder.The problem is hard and physics places many constraints on the solution. At one point management thought that space based defense was what we wanted until we showed that the time/distances were too great to be effective. Now we just have a scaled back terminal defense with very limited capabilities. After all these years the only value that I think that missile defense has is PR. Effective? Not really. Forget Star Wars the movie. It's not going to happen.

    That's why they switched to lateral thinking.. To try to "catch a bullet with a net". New systems work much better, but of course you're not going to get much PR on that, "if" for instance, they might be classified ;-)

  25. Re:FYI: remove from Youtube not from 'Google' on Google: Indie Musicians Must Join Streaming Service Or Be Removed · · Score: 1

    Their policy change is far more serious than people think. Even if the "hundreds of other sites" didn't eventually adopt them also, as tends to be the case. There are not "hundreds" of other sites, at any rate. More like a half dozen. Enough though, that people aren't going to sub to all of them And if they are smaller, they can be driven out of business, or taken over like Google always does, until there is only one left. More importantly, what defines an "independant" video? AFAIK, it seems to be a video with an audio track. Does that mean if you upload an album track, with homemade art, it's a "video", and will be taken down? I think that is likely. Or , say, an expose on corruption with ANY music included. Music video? Probably... I see a ginormous potential for abuse here.. Yet all I hear is "if you don't like it, switch". Yeah, OK Same with newspapers.. where they said "The majors won't cover corruption anymore, - too bad, if you don't like it start your own paper".. "City hall will give you a licence to start a paper covering corruption in City hall without a second thought, after all".
