    No need to lie, without burning that coal we'd be living in poverty and have short lives. the benefits far outweighed the negatives, fossil fuel use built our civilization.

    so what, most graveyards are forgotten with time too.

    Here's a better idea, don't worry about it. Die and be forgotten. For most people odds are in 100 years no one will give a shit about you. Get over it.

    yes making money on the backs of slaughtered jews and slavs worked out well for them.

    because the good engaging games exist for the Vita, while your Pi will only have lame crap games. The vita is an appliance, users don't care if it's locked down or not, they lose nothing with it being locked down.

  11. IBM leading the way on Tech Critics Create Powerful Video Responding To IBM's 'Dear Tech' Ad (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    In the 1940s IBM came up with a solution to Hitler's Dear Technology letter, "we need to identify, incarcerate and/or eliminate our undesirables". Then they automated the holocaust. Ah, technology, is there nothing it can't do?

  12. another energy intensive way to break CO2... whoop die do, that's been done in various ways for over a century. This is not a solution to anything. A doable way to keep internal combustion and reduce CO2 emissions is to go to biofuel. Also to seed the ocean to make more plankton, nature does the CO2 to calcium carbonate very well.

  13. Re:This in spades... on Scientists Turn CO2 'Back Into Coal' In Breakthrough Experiment (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    and of course the energy requirements for electrolysis are fearsome compared to yield. Splitting water in industrial quantities wastes half the energy (ignore the tabletop beaker experiments that sometimes lose only 30%, can't do it at big scale)

    The retardation that ignores basic thermodynamics always kicks in hard when people want to believe investor hyping.

    how does this situation "prove the superiority of BSD"? Amazon could do the same thing if maria were BSD licensed.

    haha, no annealers are not a true quantum computer at all, cannot do what a UQC can do, and D-Wave repeatedly fails to prove any speedup or capability over normal digital computers with their annealers.

    Just a pile of hype, a distraction from universal quantum computing development.

    D-Wave doesn't even make quantum computers, they make quantum annealers. So there is no speedup of course.

    I actually do have credentials, but not in biology or paleontology.

    You're missing the point, a person could buy a fossil and name it. A large group of people or a government can make a name too (and some have). However, I'm not suggesting ignoring the Nomenclature if one were to write scientific papers or reference books. Everyone else can, however. You'll find the locals around you have all kinds of common names for birds, bugs and other critters. It's the same thing, they don't have to listen to the Congress either.
