  1. Re:2 trillion tons on Continuous System For Converting Waste Plastics Into Crude Oil · · Score: 1

    yes that number is nonsense. 300 million tons of plastic are produced a year in the world. also, estimate on percent of crude used to make plastic is 4 to 8 percent

  2. Re:Fuck 'em on Chicago Adding Sensors For Public Monitoring · · Score: 1

    bullshit, lots of people commute and walk around Chicago with back packs. do you have any idea how many colleges and universities there are? and half the people who go to work wear them

  3. of things on Chicago Adding Sensors For Public Monitoring · · Score: 1

    those who think they are witty appending "of things" to a technology noun should be beaten to death with the femurs of those who use "in the cloud"

  4. Re:Ecological problem? on Scientists Successfully Grow Full Head of Hair On Bald Man · · Score: 1

    a completely negligle amount, compared to that used for fuel and electricity. look it up.

    or possibly, you know nothing of jurisprudence and your uninformed opinion of certain situation might have no bearing on reasons for those determinations

    ah, disgruntled and curmudgeonly old coot hand writing assembly from pseudo-code outline. Yeah, done that

  7. Re:What's the news? on Why China Is Worried About Japan's Plutonium Stocks · · Score: 1

    ah, but current designs are bad, over half the energy doesn't even come from fusion. Why use dirty bomb on neighboring country? Even completely ignoring the initial fission trigger, the U-T design has fusion fuel with fission spark plug in the middle and also surrounded by fission tamper. Neutrons from fusion split u-238 which makes more neutrons to increase fusion rate, it's a fission-fusion-fission bomb.

  8. Re:A major liberator from opressive laws... on 3-D Printing with Molten Steel (Video) · · Score: 1

    plenty of videos on youtube by people with credibility to learn to use basic tools and to graduate to more advanced mechanical accomplishments, motivated person can go from zero to something these days...

  9. Re:I had a cool idea for asteroid collection on NASA Funds Projects For Asteroid-Capture Plan · · Score: 1

    rockets work best with energy being used on exhaust with molecular weight as low as possible, being given maximum velocity.

    so rock chucking not the best use of energy, getting hydrogen to move as fast as possible is usually the best

  10. old news from decades ago on Overeager Compilers Can Open Security Holes In Your Code · · Score: 4, Insightful

    well known for decades that optimizing compilers can produce bugs, security holes, code that doesn't work at all, etc.

  11. Re:2 trillion tons on Continuous System For Converting Waste Plastics Into Crude Oil · · Score: 1

    there ARE other inputs into making plastics than the hydrogen and carbon atoms, for example vinyl has chlorine atoms, PET has oxygen.

    42% of crude oil is used for other things than fuel. From fertilizer to explosives to plastics to lubricants to waxes the list is huge

    yes, that the magazine (still around) that published the famous (or infamous) letter by Edsger Dijkstra "Go to Statement Considered Harmful", which I'll bet half of slashdotters have heard referenced

  14. Re:Hybrid/Electric? on 2 US Senators Propose 12-Cent Gas Tax Increase · · Score: 1

    haha, no not for either the major parties for federal elections. Sure they should be taxed for road, I was just responding to original poster who kind of had the w0h00 taxation for gasoline cars is good for electric car stocks.

    wide adoption good for power company stocks too, they'll be doing some things to the grid and stations as this ramps up

  15. Re:A major liberator from opressive laws... on 3-D Printing with Molten Steel (Video) · · Score: 1

    legal and inexpensive to do it old school. Making a shotgun wouldn't even be "hard" for moderate amount of skill, since it is rifling the barrel for rifle or pistol that is a bitch. The cost of 3D "printing" in metal is immense

    uh huh, when electric cars become common they'll be taxed out the wazoo for highway / transportation too

    evidence seems to suggest He mostly is not paying attention to the simulation but rather watching porn and jacking off as simulation runs in minimized window

    ah, spoken with the voice of slashdotter pontificating out ass.

    x11 is bloated with needless complexity, laggy because of map-expose-draw cycle, built in race conditions that can't be avoided, and has zero consideration for security

    x11 is long overdue for the scrap heap

    no need at all for them.

    order your electric car online with drivers license and insurance policy number taken during checkout, delivery person drives to your home, takes video of you and them checking out the condition of everything, and then they take taxi or shuttle or whatever back to warehouse.

    all the big Unix iron vendors have done that, solaris is weird with startup control system, hpux has all kinds of partner added things like a basic veritas volume manager......which is why I get nauseous hearing about systemd for Linux and everything and the kitchen sink being thrown into it (the Perl 6 of startup systems)
