  1. Re:speaking of design.. on Google Is Really Good At Design · · Score: 1

    And there's so many similar websites out there. I blame CMS templates and idiot designers. Content needs to be separated in sections, not thrown at the browser as one long single page. And what's with those damn animated wavy separator lines? DO NOT MAKING ANYTHING MOVE ON THE PAGE BY ITSELF. That's anti-user design, some of us can't read when things move around on their own.

  2. How much?! on World's First 'Negative Emissions' Plant Has Begun Operation (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Although it's still at pilot scale -- capturing only 50 metric tons CO2 from the air each year, about the same emitted by a single U.S. household...

    Try asking that household to store those 50 metric tons of CO2 per year in the backyard. Even in brick form, they'd never agree and/or would run out of room pretty fast.

    Fuck coal. How many jobs depend on coal? How many lives will continue to be affected if we keep digging and burning coal?

    If Facebook can get access to cell tower connection logs (probably not much of a stretch)

    How is Facebook going to access cell tower connection logs? You think AT&T will give it to them?

    Facebook and others tracker users via websites, I.P. adresses, cookies, etc. Or via apps, GPS coordinates, etc. There's none of those on a dumb flip phone for Facebook to access.

    There's "insane taxes" on all packages, though. There's a sports tax, a religions tax, a soap opera tax, etc. The real problem is the endless fees. Connecting fees, cancellation fees, etc.

    When low-cost TV packages get at $10 per month with no other fees, then they'll be competitive with Netflix and others.

    To the idiot moderator who thinks I'm a troll, go to apple.com and look at all the Macs:
    - MacBook: Intel HD Graphics 615
    - MacBook Air: Intel HD Graphics 6000*
    - MacBook Pro 13": Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 or 650
    - MacBook Pro 15": Radeon Pro 555 or 560
    - Mac mini: Intel HD Graphics 5000* or Intel Iris Graphics
    - iMac 21.5": Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 for the low-end model, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 or 650 for the others
    - iMac 27": Radeon Pro 570, 575 or 580 (We're talking USD$1300 or more to get an under-clocked GPU)
    - Mac Pro: Yes it has powerful GPUs, but nobody in their right mind would buy a USD$3000 Mac for gaming

    * those are really old GPUs since Apple can't be bothered to really update these models.

    Apple does not give their sales numbers (MacBook Air vs iMac 27", etc) but given the prices of their MacBook Pro, iMacs and Mac Pro, you can almost assume most Mac users will either have a Mac mini, MacBook, low-end 21.5" iMac, MacBook Air or a 13" MacBook Pro at best.

    So to target "Mac gamers", your baseline is the Intel HD Graphics 5000 / Intel HD Graphics 6000 depending on how much potential gamers you want to leave behind. Even if you drop both the Mac mini and MacBook Air, you'd still need to support the Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 to get the low-end iMac users.

    Developers will follow the largest user base, so if Windows falls, they will jump to Mac.

    Really? You think developers will take a step five years backward to make games for the weak-ass intel integrated GPUs? Because that's the only GPU most Macs have.

  25. T-Mobile website allowed hackers to access your account data with just your phone number.

    If all it takes is to type a phone number in the URL then it's not hacking.

    "Unlocked doors allow thieves to open them" sounds as stupid. If they're unlocked, anyone can open them, not just thieves.
