  1. It would never make any sense on Why Apple Ditched Its Plan To Build a Television · · Score: 2

    For many the TV you buy is a complicated matter, and for many others there's going to be price issues. An Apple built TV would just be super expensive and Apple would have to quit making the AppleTV so people would be forced to buy their Apple built TV.

    That would never make any sense. The AppleTV is a gateway to iTunes movies and rentals, and all those people who purchased content on them would go ballistic if they were suddenly told they have to buy a Apple built TV if they wanted to continue to watch their purchased content on a TV.

    Apple can make a difference in DVR's and a over the top tv service, and that should be their focus in this space.

  2. Re: Markets, not people on The Economic Consequences of Self-Driving Trucks · · Score: 1

    Standard oil also bought up every trolley system in the U.S. and had them burned and put out of business. Also when methanol became a popular fuel over gas SO got the government to ban it via prohibition. It was never the church that banned alcohol, it was a monopolist.

    We have two paths before us. We can use robots to turn the earth into a cruise ship or we can let capitalists use robots to keep us in concentration camps once were no longer needed.

  3. They have a problem to begin with on Psychologist: Porn and Video Game Addiction Are Leading To 'Masculinity Crisis' · · Score: 1

    Played WOW for 10 years, asheron's call before that and had no issues stopping to go on dates and get laid.

    Sounds like they just interviewed people who are afraid of rejection. It's part of game guys.

  4. Re: Meh on Global Carbon Dioxide Levels Reach New Monthly Record · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Led lights, fuel efficient cars. We have choices to help fix things. But you fuckers get bent out of shape just trying to get you to use a different light bulb.

  5. I figured they would of fixed this problem after the Gibson was hacked?

    DiVinci returns.

  6. Laws of Physics were written before dark matter on No, NASA Did Not Accidentally Invent Warp Drive · · Score: 1

    Problem we have here is that we do not understand how dark matter interacts with the universe as a whole. It could be possible we have found a device that can propel itself via an interaction however weakly with dark matter.

    Still fast travel means you have to develop deflectors or some way to know what's in front of you in time to maneuver away from it.

    Also, at light speeds passing a massive object might liquidate organic beings. Need to be able to negate gravity.

     

  7. Re: Without workers power on Deploying Solar In California's Urban Areas Could Meet Demand Five Times Over · · Score: 1

    You can easily have democratic socialism in fact they would be mutually beneficial.

  8. Need to consider this on Theory of Information Could Resolve One of the Great Paradoxes of Cosmology · · Score: 2

    What if the universe is 120 times larger? Maybe our part of the observable universe just looks like it happened from a Big Bang.

  9. Re usability on In Daring Plan, Tomorrow SpaceX To Land a Rocket On Floating Platform · · Score: 1

    Even if they can recover the engine intact how many times can it be reused. Saving a few million on a higher chance of blowing up multi billion payloads is not exactly wise economically.

  10. Re: Is there anything we can't pump into our aquif on Shale: Good For Gas, Oil...and Nuclear Waste Disposal? · · Score: 1

    The only problem with subduction zones is they tend to spawn volcanos which would just spit the waste back up.

  11. Not for Consumers uh huh on Open Source Self-Healing Software For Virtual Machines · · Score: 1

    "There are no plans to adapt A3 for home computers or laptops, but Eide says this could be possible in the future."

    Exactly, the CIA, NSA, FBI, and everyone else has a vested interest in computers that CAN get infected.

  12. Re: Thanks fracking on Americans Rejoice At Lower Gas Prices · · Score: 1

    Our biology demands certain himidity levels for our sweat to cool our bodies. The higher temperatures in high humidity locations will eventually become's early. So we can spend millions on adapting or spend much less on adapting our economy to work to help the environment. It's not rocket science we fix the problem and move along out we fail to adapt and die.

  13. Prices are because OPEC on Americans Rejoice At Lower Gas Prices · · Score: 1

    What the article fails to address is that the Saudis have flooded the market with cheap oil that they can make money on at 30 dollars a barrel while tar sands require about 93 dollars a barrel and fraccing requires about 83 dollars a barrel to remain viable. These groups have already cut back and started layoffs.

  14. Congress is the issue on Former Department of Defense Chief Expects "30 Year War" · · Score: 1, Funny

    Congress or the Republican Teapublicans specifically have made our entire government look weak. Our enemies see that we can not get anything accomplished and that this congress will oppose anything the president wants to do as proof that they can act with impunity in other areas of the world. It's not just bad policy decisions by the executive branch. Also for the record Iraq would not agree to a SOF agreement which means our troops would be subject to Iraqi justice not the UCMJ and I doubt there's any president that would agree to leave our troops there with that kind of agreement hanging over their heads.

  17. Where will this truckers work? on Autonomous Trucking · · Score: 2

    That would replace millions of drivers where are they going to find employment?

  18. Re:Pipe Dream I suspect on Are Glowing, Solar Smart Roads the Future? · · Score: 1

    We'll the idea is that these roads are part of the power grid so in theory they get their energy from areas that's still sunny to help melt the road where it's icy.

  19. Peer to Peer and end the problem on ISP Fights Causing Netflix Packet Drops · · Score: 1

    If Netflix leveraged all the devices out there to store pieces of all the movies then they could get content inside the networks. Sadly because there's no unlimited anymore it would be difficult to deploy this model anymore.

  20. Already Patched on Oops: Security Holes In Belkin Home Automation Gear · · Score: 2

    Latest firmware contained security fixes.

  21. Re: California on California Regulator Seeks To Shut Down 'Learn To Code' Bootcamps · · Score: 1

    Government already secures the prosperity of the ultra wealthy. The problem is that a majority of the wealth is concentrated in a thousand or so individuals that it's very easy for them to influence or be influenced by many things.

    Rich people had those laws written for a reason.

  22. Ordered dec 23 got it dec 24 on Surge In Online Orders Overwhelms UPS Christmas Deliveries · · Score: 1

    Just ordered some small toy we thought our son would like and it arrived just fine. But it was no big deal if it was late either. Some areas of the country had weather issues and shit happens.

  23. Dangerous road on The US Now Faces the Same Dilemma Over Drones As It Did Over Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 2

    Drones and robotic soldiers are very dangerous. A government could order human soldiers to shoot their fellow countrymen and they would likely rebel. Robot soldiers have no conscious and will carry out those orders.

  24. Re: Ethanol is a crock nobody wants on Can the US Be Weaned Off Ethanol? · · Score: 0

    WTH do you call the dept of homeland security. The largest employer in the government and when they were created the largest expansion of government ever.
