    Bad news for you, many here work in advanced IT security. That report is an amateur level cut and paste job. It proves nothing about the origin of the phishing attacks. Let's remember what the U.S. intelligence community does, spreading propaganda to destabilize governments and inciting wars and riots while spying on U.S. citizens. They are a den of lying snakes.

    WRONG, the "color gamut" ALREADY is built around human perception. A three color system cannot cover what the human eye can perceive.

    only possible because of "massive subsidies"? that's disgusting. that means these already overpriced cars can't be profitable on their own merits and we should look to alternatives for green energy, such as biofuel from scrub plants

    even if they can reproduce a larger subset of the color gamut than other TV they can't make all possible colors, using only a select green, blue and red prevents that.

    no I'm just stating reality. electric vehicles will take off quickly and be HUGE in some smarter (and bigger) countries, so in the end as far as global carbon load it won't matter what the USA does.

    thinking and reality are often two different things

    "clean coal" can't compete with natural gas. There are some useful things that could be done with coal that are cleaner than petroleum but gas beats those too

    what the heck? were there even 200,000 electric cars sold in the USA in 2016? The "market" for electric cars isn't here, it's in China and Europe.

    yes they're still around, for low end plenty of attachments for drill press too for hobbyist on budget with patience and elbow grease. Street punks doing most the murders (80%) in the USA aren't spending tens of man-hours fabricating their weapons, not a criminal's past time! And terrorists are getting their AK-47 at $150-450 a piece in the world's black markets, cheaper than their smart phones!

    Irrelevant, the planet doesn't care about per-capita. China produces 3.5 times the carbon emissions of the USA. That's the only stat that matters.

I'm not Russian, I'm native born U.S. citizen tired of my country sticking its nose into other people's business and getting my friends and family maimed and/or killed in wars against those that didn't attack us, and getting innocents in other countries killed because of lust for power and money and not for any righteous cause.

    Nice job spewing the propaganda, citizen.

    No, they can use the Ghost Gunner to make receivers for firearms. Receivers can also be made of wood. A Ghost Gunner won't make a rifled barrel for you, and is totally legal just as carving a receiver for your gun from an oak plank is.

    Really, the sound bites of the anti-gun hysterics are just silly

  24. nope. beta only had 60 minutes while VHS debuted with 120 minutes, and RCA came out with 240 minute VHS soon after. When the beta came out with longer time format the horizontal res dropped to same as VHS, and the other claimed advantages of less crosstalk for beta weren't visible in blind tests. There became no compelling reason to own beta especially since VHS HQ then came out. Yes after that "super beta" came out but by then market share was tiny.

  25. you're funny. My wife, kids and myself use Android and our apps cost $0. Maybe we'd like to keep it that way.
