    Compared to iron filing "seeding" in the ocean. Seeding is a REAL solution and could fix the CO2 issue overnight. It would probably have all sorts of unknown side-effects too, but it could solve that one.

  9. Re:Congratulations Samsung... on Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Review · · Score: 1

    otterboxes suck. skinit cargo is the ONLY WAY TO FLY. I never had call after call of complaining iPhone users from skinit like I did from otter's blocking the sensors and messing up the phone. plus any image you want on it, mine is almost two years old I've dropped / tossed / flung the phone all over the place and even the picture on the back isn't scratched up much, and the phone inside looks practically new still.

  10. blech samsung UI on Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Review · · Score: 1

    Since most of Samsung's UI attempts make me want to place pencils in my eyes and slam my head into my desk...but the underlying specs are usually worth rooting...maybe in a few months some root might come up with some actual, useful ideas for this. Personally I'd like to have that edge have some decent music controls as one pane, and be able to send specific apps notifications to it. Like my various server health checks, so I can just look at the side of the phone and see green / red / yellow dots like the app I'm using now.

    I wonder about a case however...it might take awhile before skinit gets a cargo case for it. That's about the only brand I buy or recommend, I've dropped that phone on it's side, face, into 1-3mm of water, tumbling onto the ground up under my jeep when I forgot it was sitting on my lap when I get out...still very few scratches or anything after almost 2 years of the S3.

    But ATnT can go fuck themselves with this phone sideway up their ass, after spending some time as a CSR for them and watching the draconian 2gb to 3gb forced upgrades via over charges I'd not use them even if they paid me to. I'm already at 2.1gb this month, with 17 days left to go..it says unlimited on Tmobile but I don't pay the bill anyway. Even still, I wouldn't allow anyone else to give ATnT Mobility their money either if I can help it. Handset exclusivity is another reason AtNt can suck it and choke. Just like their semi-illegal ISP exclusivity contract they have lied to and convinced my apartment is completely legal despite FCC rulings to the contrary since 2007.

    The only decent thing AtNT has done in the last 20-30 years was when I gave out over $16,000 in "adjustments" to customers in one month during the Christmas season. I was the "top rep" for refunds in the entire company, like 10X higher than #2. But since we had so much overtime and constant calls, I rarely went over the $250 "soft limit" and ALWAYS documented why I did when I did in the ticket. Corporate even had some investigation but by then these people where sending in "kudos" notes, emails, and surveys for me and the documentation was tight so it was much fun.

    I kinda look at it like SCL Punk's ending lines of hitting them from the inside. In the pocketbook where it hurts the worst LOL.

  11. Re:At a guess . . . on Study: Light-Emitting Screens Before Bedtime Disrupt Sleep · · Score: 2

    I've made a few "sleep light" things. Nothing complex, one is four blue florecent bulbs all plugged into the outlet-to-plug recepticals. This I can take and plug into whatever room I'm in when I'm trying to wake up. Not just by itself but in addition to the other lights. It's pretty bright and I think it's working. In the bedroom I've got red lights under the bed, and blacked out everything else I can find. I work 10 and 12hr shifts and it REALLY has been helping my sleep cycles.

    LED's aren't terrible, they are just "not adjustable" much with wattage. But you can get red / orange LEDs for night-time ambient lighting so when you get up to go to the bathroom you aren't kicked into the "wakeness cycle"

    probably because we've had to "bail out" said allies TWICE in 100 years now. When our "allies" spend more on their military they have this tendency to start World Wars. At least we only invade small countries and don't take the entire planet into war with us. GERMANY I'M TALKING TO YOU lol.

    Better idea: Sony should hire a black hat team to hack into NK's infrustructure (if that's even possible LOL) and forciebly display "The Interview" on as many screens as possible on the 25th.

  23. Re:There is a difference. on Top Five Theaters Won't Show "The Interview" Sony Cancels Release · · Score: 2

    I was thinking the same thing. And the MO here is an "electronic attack" anyway, it's not like NK has been able to do much of any phyisical force projection outside of their own little corner. The "real threat" is that Sony will have even more internal documents leaked, and MAYBE AMC, Cinemark, etc could eventually get hacked too?

    Seriously, what would the GOP (Guardians of Peace, not the Republicans lol) do? Fly over into the US and set fire to 5000+ theaters? Attack the US's critical cyber infrastructure and start WWIII over a Seth Rogan movie? Even though that would be the FUNNIEST reason ever to destroy humanity (they could film it and call it "This REALLY is The End, PS we're sorry!" lol), there's little the GOP can do outside of what they've already done.

    Maybe if Sony didn't have unencrypted Excel and Word docs all over the place in their HR department and used an end-to-end encrypted HR solution like most other corps use this wouldn't happen. Maybe close off the $C, implement some vlans and VPNs... you know, catch up 10-15 years with the rest of the planet and it might make this a bit more difficult. Personally I don't blame the GOP...I blame Sony for having circa-1992 coffee shop security.

    It's a very large strategy, and "know the enemy" (or competition) IS part of marketing, and also is part of marketing yourself. And I only "play up" things I've done recently, so yeah.

    The person asking hasn't had a stroke though, or any major medical problems like you listed (that he mentioned, I dunno). So, while all that is theoretically true, that only applies to very specific situations. My advice is mostly situationally agnostic. If the submitter is someone who needs help dressing themselves then this forum and all of it's knowledge is of little use as their probably no longer seeking an IT job!

    I know your statement has some logical fallacy in it, something about overtly-specific improbable situations being used to shoot down a far more "general" idea, but I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment.
