  1. Re:Apple...Free on You Can Now Run Beta Versions of OS X—For Free · · Score: 0

    it's free in that you don't need to have a developer account to download the betas. Although I doubt anybody purchased the developer account just to be able to access the betas... Does anybody know what the next release will be called? Yosemite?

  2. Dongle on Next-Gen Thunderbolt: Twice as Fast, But a Different Connector · · Score: 0

    I read you can use a simple dongle for backward comparability, so it doesn't seem too bad.

  3. Re:Snow Leopard on Apple Fixes Major SSL Bug In OS X, iOS · · Score: 0

    To be fair, that's a 7yo computer... What's the rightlifetime so an os doesn't count as abandon ware? They still do snow leopard updates I think.

  4. Re:Milk that cow! on Netflix Plans To Raise Prices By "$1 or $2 a Month" · · Score: 0

    It's surprisingly expensive to learn a new skill or hobby. Eg buying a guitar then taking lessons? $$$$.

  5. Re:Milk that cow! on Netflix Plans To Raise Prices By "$1 or $2 a Month" · · Score: 0

    Yeah but all the shit adds up. Netflix $12. Amazon prime streaming $99/yr. Hulu. iTunes rentals. Nytimes. The amount of money I spend on entertainment content remains roughly the same.

  7. Re:...and this is our cue... on Eyes Over Compton: How Police Spied On a Whole City · · Score: 0

    Since the whole debate is over spying in Compton, I'd like to hear Ice Cube's point of views.

  8. Re:this makes no sense to me. on Venus' Crust Heals Too Fast For Plate Tectonics · · Score: 0

    I don't need to watch Apollo 13 because I watched gravity. also Apollo 11 was the more successful one so why would I watch a movie about the less successful one???

    heliocentrism is also a theory taken as fact, and notbody is even trying to disprove it any more. geocentrism ftw, it's the only one that makes any sense.

  10. Re:this makes no sense to me. on Venus' Crust Heals Too Fast For Plate Tectonics · · Score: 1

    there's a difference between something that's poisonous and something that suffocates you from lack of oxygen. for example, carbon monoxide is poisonous because it neutralizes your red blood cells, so you die even though the % is so low that it doesn't impact O2 %. So my question, is CO2 really poisonous or does it just cause suffocation?

  11. this makes no sense to me. on Venus' Crust Heals Too Fast For Plate Tectonics · · Score: -1, Troll

    things that make no sense: 1) that CO2 would be poisonous? 2) venus has no atmosphere because it is so close to the sun 3) it has a molten surface because it is so close, so there is no "crust". 4) it is like that planet in star wars. the one with the molten surface.

  12. Re:100% distrust on Biofuels From Corn Can Create More Greenhouse Gases Than Gasoline · · Score: 2

    no big surprises in the study. California established all of this a while ago when they enacted the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Here is the lookup table of GHGs from all fuel alternatives: link. Once you include "upstream" emissions, the corn ethanol comes out pretty bad. Depending on the source of the corn and the way it is processed, many of the ethanol options are more carbon-intense than corn. The reason to push for ethanol is that corn ethanol could be a temporary bridge to cellulosic ethanol, which is much lower in GHGs. The science isn't there yet to do cellulosic at scale, but regs like the LCFS or EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard guarantee that there will be a long-term market, and make private industry more comfortable in investing in the technology. Of course, the fuel with the lowest GHGs is CNG made from landfill gas (or manure, or wastewater treatment plants). Otherwise it just escapes into the atmosphere!

    i guarantee that at the slightest perceived provocation NK will shut off the gas. KIS is even more of a petulant child than KJI was.

  16. Re:If the Stolen Valor Act Didn't Fly . . . on Peoria Mayor Sends Police To Track Down Twitter Parodist · · Score: 1

    . . . then impersonating a public official is not going to either. The Supreme Court basically ruled that you can outright lie about serving in the military because that is your first amendment right.

    Now if someone is trying to lie about being a public official to get into a restricted area or hell, lying about being a veteran to get a free lunch at Denny's on Memorial Day, that might be a crime, but this guy defrauded nobody.

    whats the stolen valor act? that makes no sense. who cares if somebody lies about being a veteran?

    apparently you can't parody in US... the the original account in question, @peoriamayor has been suspended. but a thousand flowers are blooming, including this guy, who's profile reads "Welcome to Peoria, bitches! My house, my rules. Check those civil liberties at the door and bow down to your leader. Humor and Parodies punishable by death."
