  1. Re:Obama's failure to think half a step ahead on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 1

    You are criticizing his rhetoric as if he had already acted.

    Even more, he isn't calling for unilateral disarmament.

    Please take your ass-testicle play to a more appropriate forum.

    Thanks.

    Up until the point that the U.S. no longer has strategic nuclear capabilities, his comments, and yours, are smoke and mirrors.

    How can it be the GNU/GNUGNU/Phone when it is old news?

    Some people seem happy to have their browser flag attack and phishing sites. The essence of that action is filtering.

    No, that was Cuomo threatening to publish their names.

    The punitive taxation is a red herring; the House passed it for constituency points and the Senate never even considered it. That's a long way from actually 'using' it.

  8. Re:I, for one, welcome our new regulator overlords on Three Mile Island Memories · · Score: 1

    So you don't think anybody would try to rush things along and end up with their own little Chernobyl?

    Sort of hard to internalize that or clean it up after the fact.

    The janitor? An intern?

    What are you spouting about?

    The possibility of bad regulation doesn't really impugn the very concept of regulation.

    Those are secretarial tasks. The person taking care of those things doesn't need authority over anyone.

    Yeah, the patent system works exactly that well.

    There is science behind the uncanny valley?

  15. Re:Existing customers? on AT&T Changes TOS, Limits Streaming, Tethering · · Score: 1

    Cingular is now part of AT&T. Prior to the Cingular deal, AT&T had some CDMA networks, but they have either sold them or turned them off.

    This seems to be what you mean, but you have phrased it oddly (for example, there isn't a Cingular anymore).

    Yeah, hence the tone of the part that you didn't quote.

    On the upside, moves towards sane usually seem to have some traction.

    'Chaval' is Spanish, so I wouldn't be surprised if gp is from Central or South America (or has such roots), rather than Canada (you loosely implied that they were from Canada, or, at least, I read your post that way).

  20. Re:this is great news! on Bionic Eye Telescope To Treat Macular Degeneration · · Score: 2, Informative

    It doesn't halt the degeneration, it allows individuals implanted with the device to make better use of areas of the retina that have not been affected.

    If you have macular degeneration, it might help you; if you have some other problem, it isn't particularly likely to help you.

    Maybe they will do something completely ridiculous and charge reasonable prices for metered bandwidth.

    Everyone one wins, light users pay less, heavy users get the bits they want for a reasonable amount, the company has the resources necessary to expand the network.

  23. Re:Causality on Quantum Setback For Warp Drives · · Score: 1

    You are being needlessly pedantic and obtuse. The description at the link does not depend on the ansible, it uses it as a stand in for 'a device that makes the casual FTL transmission of information possible' (FTL travel, by definition, satisfies this). While it is quite true that no such device exists and it is thus impossible to test such a device, it works perfectly fine to bypass the question of the existence of the mechanism and study the implications of the device inside of current theoretical frameworks.

    So sure, the link doesn't demonstrate that FTL is impossible, it just demonstrates that any device that makes FTL possible raises some difficulties for relativity.

  24. Re:VLC is illegal in the US on VLC 0.9.9, The Best Media Player Just Got Better · · Score: 1

    The legality is questionable and mostly focuses on distribution.

    The consequences for simply using it are so unlikely to matter that you are just posting to make a point (whether you believe that is the case or not...).

    Send to works better for opening more than one file (but yeah, setting it as default is step 0 or whatever).
