  2. Re:independence ! on Solar Power Headed For 45% Annual Growth · · Score: 1

    well, to be fair, I am not against 'corporations' but against too much power for these corps, and we crossed the line a long time ago.

  3. Re:independence ! on Solar Power Headed For 45% Annual Growth · · Score: 1

    I've never really understood people who are against corporations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pin8fbdGV9Y
  4. Re:Outside the U.S. on Lenovo Looking to Buy Seagate, May Raise Political Concerns · · Score: 1

    &So you are saying that currently every state besides the U.S. should be scared? Yes we are, but not because of encryption, more because of the random gun slinging.
  5. Re:Solar is Limited due to its Low Energy Density on Solar Power Headed For 45% Annual Growth · · Score: 1

    Most people don't want to live in a place that's covered in solar panels and windmills far as the eye can see... yeah, that's why they voluntarily choose to live close to city centers and highways.

  6. Re:Understatement on Solar Power Headed For 45% Annual Growth · · Score: 2, Informative

    As production increases and technology improves, the northern limit of the area where it's economically viable to use solar cells, will expand more and more northward.

  7. independence ! on Solar Power Headed For 45% Annual Growth · · Score: 0, Troll

    finally at my fingertips ... I just need a good battery now. f*ck you, corporations.

  8. Re:Then Blame the SA Government on How SBC (AT&T) Pillaged South Africa's Economy · · Score: 1

    To the SA people, you got the government you elected, so blame yourselves, then fix the problem at the ballot box! Heh, if they have the choice between a turd sandwich or a giant douche, and neglect to see there's other parties (like in the US) ...

  9. Re:No, fuel consumption is also very important. on US Army Unveils Hybrid-Electric Propulsion System · · Score: 2, Informative

    Logistics is a huge, huge part of war. I'll go as far as saying that it was the reason WWII ended.

  10. Re:Hazy Memory on The CD Turns 25 Today · · Score: 1

    also experimented with ripping, but soon stopped as my hard drive space was an order of magnitude smaller than the CD, I think we are at 3 orders of magnitude in favor of the HD now :)
  11. Re:I'm not buying any more WoTC products... on Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Announced · · Score: 1

    Yup, That's why WE are still playing 2nd edition...

  12. possible applications? on A Non-Toxic, Paper Battery / Supercapacitor · · Score: 1

    If power/weight and power/ is good, this can mean a technological revolution. It would mean the end of the oil-era(it would make wind and solar power much more applicable). But we are waiting for that breakthrough for a long time already, so I'm not going to hold my breath.

  13. Re:Benefit or detriment? on Why We Need to Expand into Space · · Score: 1

    how our cities resemble bacteria spreading. That's just how life works.

    maybe isn't necessarily wrong There's a difference between being a parasite and being part of a symbiosis. It's possible to live a non-destructive life.
  14. Re:Benefit or detriment? on Why We Need to Expand into Space · · Score: 1

    do you see anything in my post that says 'I hate...' ?

  15. Re:Benefit or detriment? on Why We Need to Expand into Space · · Score: 5, Insightful

    can hate their race so very much Because there are people that don't care for their planet, their inhabitants, anything those inhabitants make, or who blatantly refuse to use their brains. And it's those people that are being hated.
  16. input-output on New 'Stellarator' Design for Fusion Reactors · · Score: 2

    Like other forms of containment this does require energy itself I find it weird that the amount of energy needed to contain, is less than the energy contained in the plasma. Can anyone explain this ?
  17. obligatory. on Elton John Says Internet is Destroying Music · · Score: 2, Funny

    Its like you never even read what You must be new here.
  18. Re:Sucks to be you, Elton on Elton John Says Internet is Destroying Music · · Score: 5, Interesting

    today's Britney crowd
    In my opinion, the new music world should be about choice The internet creates choice. And if that internet destroys the musicindustry(I'm talking about formatted music like britney's) GOOD: bring on all the new types of music!

  19. my personal reason on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    for not switching : Mediamonkey (I like amarok, but mediamonkey is better), and i feel for many people that not switching is mostly the applications(did i hear someone say games?) they use on Windows;I don't say there are no linux-alternatives, because most of the time there are.

  20. Re:Or you know you could just try... on Open Source Linux Phone Goes On Sale · · Score: 1

    ever wonder why people buy the music played over and over and over and over AND OVER AND OVER on popular radio-stations ? the same reason people buy stuff that is officially advertised. Most songs on radio are being pushed by the big music-corporations to be able to sell their latest crap. And yes, there's also good music, but the chance that rises to the top of the charts is lower and lower every year, because the brainwashing gets worse every year.

  21. hmmm ... on Dell Warns of Vista Upgrade Challenges · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This sounds like a way to boost hardware sales.

  22. QUICK ! on Bill Gates Drops To Number 2 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Quick, let's all buy an overpriced vista ... we can still push him to #1

  23. Re:for always and eternity on No OLPCs for Cuba, Ever · · Score: 1

    Russia doesn't need a stable Middle East so they can afford to trade with countries So the US has no weapons trade with the middle east ?
  24. Re:Since when on FBI Seeks To Restrict University Student Freedoms · · Score: 1

    And are american 6 year olds being trained to say they want to blow themselves up and kill non-islamics? That can be. The reality in Palestine is a lot harder than in the usa. If people get killed just for being in the wrong place or being of the wrong religion, eventually they will loose their faith in humanity.

    Again-- we are not teaching our children that it is good to kill complete strangers too bad that message gets lost to people with a lot of power.
