    Because Aliens won't let us do it.

  3. Re:Worse than the space station? No. on Let's Not Go To Mars · · Score: 2

    So you do confirm that tiny solar panels on a tiny rover can generate about 140 watts for up to four hours per Martian day. That gives us the data (known solar panel type, surface area, power generated) to know how many and how big the solar panels would need to be for a Mars base.

  4. What? on Facebook Dislike Hype Exploited In Phishing Campaign · · Score: 1
    Never mind the usual Facebook hate and how Facebook users are stupid. We may not use it but we all know people who do. So the real question is:

    Once the unsuspecting victim selects a link, they are led to a malicious website, which enables access to their private Facebook accounts and allows the hackers to share further scam links on their behalf.

    How the hell does clicking on a fucking link enable access to a private Facebook account?

  5. Pointing at the wrong topic here on UK Man Gets Britain's First-Ever Conviction For Illegal Drone Use · · Score: 1

    He flew a drone over a Champions League soccer match low enough to startle police horses, and at other times flew drones over iPro Stadium in Derby...

    Wait, there's a place called iPro Stadium? Who was the fool to think of this name and why hasn't Apple sued them yet?

  11. Re:Not the only factor? on Apple's 16GB IPhone 6S Is a Serious Strategic Mistake · · Score: 1

    This counts the free, bottom-of-the-barrel, barely-able-to-run-apps Android phones. Which means they're not even used as smartphones. So in real life, marketshare doesn't count and I really do only have two contacts with Android phones.

  12. Re:Linux represents 0.7% of sales on Thanks To Valve, More Than 1,500 Games Are Now On Linux · · Score: 1

    You won't get Linux gamers if there's no games for it. If Valve wants to help us break away from Microsoft's stranglehold on the computer gaming market, good for them. Because Apple sure seems to always make sure that the GPUs in most of their computers suck as much as possible with their stupid design over function philosophy.

    He rigged a tin-foil contract sensor to the metronome in the locker

    A contract sensor? The guy had to sign a NDA before being pranked?

  15. Fixed summary on AeroVelo Breaks Human-powered Land Speed Record · · Score: 2, Informative

    yyzmcleod sends news that AeroVelo, a Canadian team of engineers and students, has built a bike that successfully broke the human-powered land speed record. (This is the same group that built a human-powered helicopter in 2013.) The team's Eta recumbent speed bike managed a speed of 137.9km/h (85.7mph). The previous record was 133.7km/h (83.1 mph).

  16. Re:Not the only factor? on Apple's 16GB IPhone 6S Is a Serious Strategic Mistake · · Score: 1

    I'm in Canada, I don't care about Android marketshare in other countries. If you want to video-call me, though luck. You can still contact me by email or voice, which used to be fine for everyone before the iPhone.

  17. Re:Not the only factor? on Apple's 16GB IPhone 6S Is a Serious Strategic Mistake · · Score: 2

    Except most people around me do have iPhones or iPads, especially the non-technical people. I only know of two people with Android phones. The rest don't even have smartphones, just flip-type dumb phones. I even have a few contacts that only have landlines, some of them on magicJack, although one of them do have an iPad.

    There's no pressure on anyone. Email works just fine between all platforms and if you don't want to write something, you just make a regular phone call.

    Comments are meant to be read as a thread... What I said didn't apply to all situations, to everyone, everywhere in the freakin' Universe.

    Maury Markowitz said "Well if all the people at the other end of the connection are on iPhones, it gets you iMessage, FaceTime, AirDrop and many other features."

    So no, people don't "need the application", they already have it because they have iPhones.

  19. Re:Not the only factor? on Apple's 16GB IPhone 6S Is a Serious Strategic Mistake · · Score: 1

    Your cross-platforms alternatives are useless if your contacts can't be bothered to install the extra applications required. So apart from email and iMessages which is compatible with a handful of protocols, your idea won't work.

    Internet is less expensive in the USA than in Canada. And even your monthly caps seem sane by comparison.

    ...when Internet access is available, it's often expensive. That's due in part to a lack of competition among providers.

    I think he's talking about Canada.

  25. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 4, Funny

    It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
