  1. Re:Is it really more power efficient? on Microsoft Says Edge is Still More Power Efficient than Chrome and Firefox (neowin.net) · · Score: 2

    You're right about Edge running in the background, after the last update and going through settings I was surprised to see Edge turned on. I know I had it off plus I never use it, why does it need to be running?

  2. Re:The Pentagon is more important than climate cha on The Military's Latest Enemy: Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Want to defend Fox "news"?

  3. What Google and Apple did is a very good thing. Let the FBI and CIA cry all they want. America land of the free subject to no one.

  4. Monopolies like Comcast on Why America Won't Match Sweden's Cheap, Fast, Competitive Internet Services · · Score: 1

    Our political situation in the United States of America is totally fucked up. Politicians line their pocketbooks with what the lobbyists pay them, then they pass laws that protect the business . Vote Democrat the Republicans have been on the take way to long.. Get rid of those old white guys. Let's take back control of the United States of America.

  5. K-Mart Hacked on Kmart Says Its Payment System Was Hacked · · Score: 1

    K-Mart knew their system was breached 1 month ago, and only now made it public. Don't shop there never will.

  6. WE-Energies on Solar Could Lead In Power Production By 2050 · · Score: 1

    Here in Wisconsin, USA have only one electricity provider, WE-Energies. If you install solar and are connected to their grid they charge a higher rate. WTF is up with that?

  7. Octopi, Bears, Raccoons and Crows on Is an Octopus Too Smart For Us To Eat? · · Score: 1

    Their all intelligent, We as Human's are at the top of the food chain. I would eat none of these. Out on the Web I recently came across cricket sandwiches!

  8. Wisconsin on Utilities Should Worry; Rooftop Solar Could Soon Cut Their Profit · · Score: 1

    Here in Wisconsin, USA we have only one electricity provider WE- Energies. There policy is if a customer installs solar and is connected to their grid they charge you a higher rate. That's totally fucked up. Their a damn monopoly. Meanwhile their monthly rate for using their service always increases. There was a protest across from their headquarters in Milwaukee lately how much good it did? Probably none. I barrage them with petitions and encourage everyone else to do the same via social media we'll see what happen's. I'm sure though there lobbying prettily heavily to keep things the same as in the good old day's. Wake up to new technology, Germany is the prime example.

  9. Yahoo on Yahoo Shuttering Its Web Directory · · Score: 1

    I used to rely on Yahoo as my gateway to the Internet and had an email account with them. No longer, they have just become irrelevant.

  10. Re:Welcome to Walmart of Things... on When Everything Works Like Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    I use T-Mobile no contract. Pay less than 30 dollars a month for unlimited access. The only downside is if I want a new phone I have to buy it, full price. That still beats paying upwards of 120 dollars a month which I was paying for a 2 year contract. Right now my smart phone is about 3.5 years old, at the time it was state of the art, now it is old news. Time to buy a new one.

  11. No taxes on Senators Threaten To Rescind NFL Antitrust Exemption · · Score: 1

    Why isn't the NFL taxed like any other big business? These teams can afford to pay players millions of dollars yet they are tax exempt. What the Fuck is going on here?

  12. WE energies on Energy Utilities Trying To Stifle Growth of Solar Power · · Score: 1

    In Wisconsin We energies is the dominant electric company. If you are on their grid and have solar they charge you higher rates. This is totally fucked up.

  13. Photography on Federal Lands on Forest Service Wants To Require Permits For Photography · · Score: 1

    This whole post is wrong. None of the supposed facts check out. Google it, US Forest Service Photography.

  14. Re:Welcome to Walmart of Things... on When Everything Works Like Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    You are taking this a step to far.Do you know how to live off the Grid? What about opt-out? I really hope you get out there and vote, many of the elected politicians have NO clue about any of the upcoming technologies. This is extremely scary for them, they don't know how to make money from it! We need to follow Germany, they are almost 100% renewable energy. Here in Wisconsin there is one energy company, WE-Energy, if you as a homeowner install solar and connect to the grid they charge you a higher rate! WTF!

  15. Damn Teabaggers/Republitards on 3 Congressmen Trying To Tie Up SpaceX · · Score: 1

    They will never understand science or how it works. They would rather point fingers at imagined enemies.

  16. Re:This will hugely backfire... on FWD.us: GOP Voters To Be Targeted By Data Scientists · · Score: 1

    Your average GOP voter is science ignorant and won't even be able to decipher what their talking about here. After all they are climate change deniers and antivax.

  17. Deep South on Professors: US "In Denial" Over Poor Maths Standards · · Score: 1

    Inbreeding doesn't help matters. Being Tea Party Republicans doesn't help either.

  18. Re:Thanks Jenny on Measles Outbreak In NYC · · Score: 1

    Anyone that believes anything on Fox news is an idiot.

  19. Without reading any further than just the headline I new it had to be a Republican that said something stupid again. Maybe he could get together with the ones that believe women have special lady parts!

    Pilot pens are great in the 0.7mm size.

  21. Re:What's to fear on California Wants Genetically Modified Foods To Be Labelled · · Score: 1

    Totally agree with this. What's to be afraid of if GMO's are so safe. The real reason is they harm the environment, not the food itself.
