  1. 70km diameter, non circumference on In Bolivia, a Supervolcano Is Rising · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's 70km across, not circumference.

  2. Re:What's the fixation with Carbon Dioxide? on Researchers Create Renewable Carbon Dioxide Sponge · · Score: 1

    There's a lot more of it?

  3. Re:It can be seen with the unaided eye on Satellite Captures Burning Man From Space · · Score: 1

    You've confused grade with degrees.

    0.017 degrees @ 100km is about 30 meters

  5. Re:Already done on Diginotar Responds To Rogue Certificate Problem · · Score: 2

    A lot of (most?) dutch intra-government traffic uses their certificates.

    See https://loket.amsterdam.nl/ for instance

  6. Re:Fake? on GPGPU Bitcoin Mining Trojan · · Score: 5, Insightful

    no, why would they?

    Gold mined by slaves is still gold, and I guess the same applies here.

    Not everyone lives in Amsterdam, you know

  8. Re:Fuel tax? on Dutch Government To Tax Drivers Based On Car Use · · Score: 1

    The difference in gas prices between german/belgian petrol stations along the border and cheap, unmanned gasstations inside the country is so small it hardly pays to make a 10km detour for it, let alone the 100km+ distance most inhabitants would need to drive.

  9. Re:Summary is sensationalistic on Google's Self Driving Car Crashes · · Score: 1

    I (...) still don't find it as laughable as the other 9/11 theories.

    On that we can certainly agree.

    for the love of god don't run php

    Out of curiosity, why not? Apart from attracting poorly educated programmers who use it to create insecure crap, what is inherently problematic about it?

    But seriously I also think that the way the towers imploded and collapsed looked very controlled and artificial

    Did you see some other towers collapse than I did? It doesn't look anything like a controller implosion. For one thing, controlled implosions always "pancake" from the bottom, with the main mass of the building squashing the lowest floors first. (See here, or any of a million other videos), while the WTC pancaked from around the point of impact, or 3/4 of the way up.

    Secondly, the towers didn't come straight down at all, Notice the tilt of the top part in this video. The towers coming down did some serious damage to neighbouring buildings on their way down, too.

  12. How is this not theft on Phone Customers Pay $2B Yearly In Bogus Fees · · Score: 1

    How is this not theft, and why aren't people prosecuted for it using existing legislation?

    How about an autistic or schizophrenic person?

    What does that have to do with anything?

    you're surprised at what a guy who's his own father can do? really?

  15. Re:Wrong problem anyone? on The Hobbit Filming at 48fps · · Score: 1

    It's amazing how much work the universe has to do for every single moment of our lives, and yet we somehow think it all revolves around us...

    If this anthropomorphic universe you speak of is willing to do so much work for us, you bet it all revolves around us.

  18. Re:Seal it and shut it down... on Nuclear Risk Expert: Fukushima Fuel May Be Leaking · · Score: 1

    If there is a leak, pumping helium in would just mean that irradiated helium escapes, along with the other gaseous emissions.

    There's no such thing as irradiated helium, or at least, none that has a half-life time of over a second.

    What if aliens were to do that to us one day?

    Then we die.

    What, you think our actions on Mars will somehow prevent aliens from elsewhere doing to us whatever they are going to do to us?

    Ah, so this is a case of the ends justifying the means then? In that case, why bother with the registry? Just use all organs you can find.

    So to prevent people from illegaly using my dead body as an organ buffet, I have to register to let people legally use my dead body as an organ buffet?

    Nice one.
