  1. More nuclear waste? on Lockheed Claims Breakthrough On Fusion Energy Project · · Score: 1

    Now everyone can generate hazardous nuclear waste that must be stored expensively for the coming hundred thousand years.

  2. Re:What's the purpose. on If Your Cloud Vendor Goes Out of Business, Are You Ready? · · Score: 1

    "pay as you use scalable computing and free programs ran on internet instead of your cpu" Is that not enough?

  3. Re:Eurozone... on Too Much Privacy: Finnish Police Want Big Euro Notes Taken Out of Circulation · · Score: 1

    Yes it's possible, many countries have already gotten rid of the 1 and 2 eurocent coins.

  4. It's not like every criminal in movies demands their cash transactions in twenties because they don't raise any flags, like bigger bills would. Maybe in Finland it's perfectly normal to have a bunch of big bills in daily use.

  5. The problem is competition on Netflix Video Speed On FiOS Doubles After Netflix-Verizon Deal · · Score: 3

    Look at how the Netherlands organized it, we have the best internet in the world :)
    Everyone in the US knows this, but the political system is broken and unable to do anything other than obey the powerfull cable companies.

  6. Re:Correlaton? on Statisticians Uncover What Makes For a Stable Marriage · · Score: 1

    It won't. But people with big and expensive weddings often have more freedom to find another relationship, they don't need to stay together so much.

  7. Sadist on Why the Trolls Will Always Win · · Score: 2

    Some people just like to see others suffer. It's a shame that his punishment was overturned. Freedom is not infinite, in the real world we don't have the freedom to cut each other with knives, why would we need that freedom on the internet?

  8. Looks good on London Unveils New Driverless Subway Trains · · Score: 1

    Seems like there are few seats, but I guess most people will stand.

  9. Re:Not a huge deal on NASA Finds a Delaware-Sized Methane "Hot Spot" In the Southwest · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that 14.75 is more than 29000?

  10. Re:funny that.... on Ebola Vaccine Trials Forcing Tough Choices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They are doing more about it because of the scale of the current problem.
    That scale is also the reason a person in the US got infected.
    The scale is likely the result of a mutation in the virus, there's a much longer incubation time now.

  11. Atleast there honest about loss of freedom on Brits Must Trade Digital Freedoms For Safety, Says Crime Agency Boss · · Score: 1

    Much of the debate was about privacy, atleast now it's clear that it leads to loss of freedom. As for safety, yes giving up freedoms will lead to more protection against crime. But every time the government does a bad job we will suffer less safety, are we that trusting of government?
