  1. Reaganomics! on Larry Ellison Rejuvenating Hawaii's Sixth-Largest Island (Which He Owns) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is the end result. Oligarchs. Trickle Down Economics was a scam.

  2. Re:What is the REAL cost? on Decommissioning San Onofre Nuclear Plant May Take Decades · · Score: 2

    And the total cost of Chernobyl? A whole region contaminated? Life time medical costs? Add that number up and divide it by the number of operating nuclear plants.

  3. Re:What is the REAL cost? on Decommissioning San Onofre Nuclear Plant May Take Decades · · Score: 1

    And lastly, lifetime medical costs for all the people irradiated or otherwise injured in the above accidents. Again divided by the number of operating plants.

    Isn't marketing great. Nuclear power only adds up if you hide the real costs.

  4. Re:What is the REAL cost? on Decommissioning San Onofre Nuclear Plant May Take Decades · · Score: 1

    And while we are at it, lets add in all of the cost for nuclear power plant accidents both public and private funds and divide that by the the number of operating plants. Let's see, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima, smaller costly but less publicized accidents.

    Total cost per KW including all these is WHAT?

    How adding in the wasted money for that hole in the desert in Nevada that won't be used.

    The true cost of Nuclear power is more than any other method.

    Tell that to the Japanese.around Fukashima.

  6. What is the REAL cost? on Decommissioning San Onofre Nuclear Plant May Take Decades · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nuclear proponents are always running around yelling wind and solar pawer can't compete on a per KW basis. Well, not if you skim off the profits and leave the cleanup to taxpayers!

    Take the total lifetime cost ( including what is usually shifted onto us after the investors skeedaddle with the profits ) and divide that by KW's produced.

    Hogwash! Nuclear power is too expensive to be sustainable.

  8. Off on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 1

    Because Microsoft is still as evil as ever.

    Cats will then control the world. Be careful what you wish for.

  11. If Microsoft would open their source cose like a decent Software citizen, this wouldn't be an issue. If they want to be closed source and sneaky, there is no reason to play nice.

  12. Yes. on Can Microsoft Survive If Windows Doesn't Dominate? · · Score: 0

    Microsoft will shift more and more into being a patent troll. Really, they have nothing else to offer.

  13. Re:FTA on Oculus VR Co-founder Andrew Reisse Killed In Auto Collision · · Score: 5, Funny

  18. Employment truth. on Most Companies Will Require You To Bring Your Own Mobile Device By 2017 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I remember talking with a very successful businessman a long time ago. He asked me if I knew the diference between a job and a career? I said no. He said, it's simple, in a career you get screwed out of your overtime.

  19. Wait? on DragonFly BSD 3.4 Released, With New Packaging System · · Score: 0

    I read on Slashdot that BSD was dead. And, Netcraft proves it. So, what is this?

  20. Just fuck the 4th amendment. It's easier without it getting in the way of a "police state".

  21. Research Hell on Indiana University Dedicates Biggest College-Owned Supercomputer · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can you imagine how many Bitcoins this thing could mine per hour?

  22. What? Here's what. on What's Holding Back 3-D Printing · · Score: 1

    Wall St which controls all money is scared to death of 3D printing upsetting their entire apple cart of investments in the current cheap labor manufacturing and transportation model. 3D printing, if widespread will devalue those investments faster than "they" can recover "their" money. Also, even though evil cabal's like Disney can DRM their 3D images, there is no way to stop similar likenesses or extract payment.

    Changes is a bitch.
     

  23. Cost of nuclear power on Fukushima Nuclear Plant Cleanup May Take More Than 40 Years · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is nuclear power really more cost effective per megawatt if you incluse the cost of long term storage and clean up after a disaster? Those numbers never make it into the calculations because they are inevitably paid by taxpayers.

  24. The end of the evil empire. on BeagleBone Black Released With 1GHz Cortex-A8 For Only $45 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Things like this and Raspberry Pi will continue to grow. Microsoft can't force their " Tax " on everyone produced as they have been able to with x86 PC's. I'm sure the greedy bunch at M$ are trying to figure out how to Patent Troll every new computer manufacturer that pops up, but there will just be too many. Finally, after 30 years of oppression in the computer industry, the vile and evil Microsoft is losing their fetted rotting grip.

    Makes me happy.

  25. M$ changes business model on Foxconn Signs Massive Android Patent Agreement With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Given that no one wants Windows 8 infecting their electronic devices, Microsoft is left with becoming a bully patent troll.
