  1. Re:Holy hell on California Is Giving Away Free Solar Panels To Its Poorest Residents · · Score: 1

    London had wanted a solar array for years, but couldn’t afford it on his income as a merchant seaman — roughly $70,000 per year.

    In Canada, the official poverty level is around $25,000 per year for single persons. It shows you how rich the Americans are compared to the rest of the world, even compared to another first-world country.

    Hey don't lump the rest of us in with those Bay Area folks.

    You know, I always thought the fences they keep building along the Mexican border should have been located a bit farther north.

    You're on to something there.

    Maybe we can get them to "Teach the Controversy " when it comes to the Mexico–United States border and roll back to 1836. If we play our cards right maybe we can throw in the Louisiana purchase as well.

    Wasn't the fingerprint scan cracked 45min after it was released last announcement? Is that ample evidence of foolproof authentication?

    I know, when I read that they created their own ap store I first thought, what a terrible Idea... Unless you wanted to restrict the aps to make the windows phone store look better.

    A better way to make the comparison would be to say, "steel is a better material choice in this application".

    "leasing is fleecing!" consumers that end up paying more in the long run, provided they have the buying habits of the majority of Americans - replacing their vehicle every 4-6 years.

    Correct. you are being fleeced and you're replacing your car too often. By your logic renting an apartment is cheaper than buying a house, as long as you move every 4 years...

    Big Slow Giants squabbling over long rotten carcasses leave room for small flexible innovators with disruptive tech. Although, It's a shame them roped creative people into participating in their access control war...

    Well, unless you can point someone at this list of vulnerabilities and say "it's not meant to be secure", and still make your sale, of course.

    That of course is the kicker. The customer base for Inmarsat and Iridium is not the SHIELD/HYDRA community the OP has in his head. This is more the western union /pay-as-you-go-phone crowd.

    LDR services like Inmarsat were never meant to be secure. Now if this was about AEHF that would be news.
