  1. Re:Fuck your software. on Motorola Says eFuse Doesn't Permanently Brick Phones · · Score: 1

    Sorry I disagree with you I should not be forced to use the company's e-store for software and media files. If a company wants to be that way then it can go under for all I care.

  2. Re:Fuck your software. on Motorola Says eFuse Doesn't Permanently Brick Phones · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    No fuck you and everything you stated you horse fucker.

  3. Re:Permanently brick sort of like permanently dead on Motorola Says eFuse Doesn't Permanently Brick Phones · · Score: 1

    Politicians know jack shit as those laws have done nothing but harm innovation and thus the economy.

  4. Dragon as a lunar vehicle. on Second SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket Now Being Assembled · · Score: 1

    I suspected Dragon was capable of lunar returns due to Spacex's choice of PICA which has been used on the highest speed Earth reentries such as Stardust. Being able to handle a Mars return is a real surprise. Lunar reentry BTW supposedly was why Spacedev went from the X34 shape to the HL20 on their vehicle so the new space companies have been thinking about beyond earth orbit for some time.

  5. Use a mag scoop aka Bussard ramjet. on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 1

    Just use a magnetic scoop sorta a VASIMR engine in reverse and scoop up the hydrogen atoms and concentrate them. They'll under go fusion and you get some extra thrust

  6. Re:Cheap, Reliable, Right Now: Pick Any Two on Falcon 9 Prepares For High Stakes Launch · · Score: 1

    Atlas and Delta are also being funded for commercial crew transport. Dream Chaser is being developed by SNC to ride Atlas V and Boeing is making a capsule very similar to Orion for the Delta IV.

  7. F9 and Dragon also are to be reusable. on Falcon 9 Prepares For High Stakes Launch · · Score: 1

    This is not just a new ELV but actually a new TSTO RLV as the system will be mostly reusable.

  8. Re:Wait, I don't undersand this... on Mozilla Puts Tiger Out To Pasture · · Score: 1

    It might be a stretch to call all the changes favorable improvements. OSX was improving until 10.4 but after 10.5 it started to be more bloat vs an actual improvement. I feel Apple sometimes changes API too often and really needs to work on more on making the OS better and faster vs needlessly reinventing the wheel.

  9. Re:Reasonable on Panel Warns NASA On Commercial Astronaut Transport · · Score: 1

    Spacex is not the only commercial provider they are the only one who has a prototype at the moment. But a vehicle called Dreamchaser built by spacedev launched on the Atlas V also can be ready quickly and don't for get the other COTS vehicle Cygnus. If anything they need to expand COTS to no less then four companies then it'll be a sure bet. ULA also should be allowed to compete on the launch end as their vehicles the Atlas V and Delta IV have a nearly spotless service record. I doubt Ares I will be as reliable for it's first 25 missions.

  10. Ares I safer then an EELV or F9? on Panel Warns NASA On Commercial Astronaut Transport · · Score: 1

    I find it amusing they think Ares I which is nearly all untested hardware and has several design flaws would be safer then an EELV such as Delta IV or Falcon 9 which has proven reliable engines. I'd trust Dragon on it's first flights more then I would Orion on Ares I.

  11. Re:NASA isn't good at listening on Panel Warns NASA On Commercial Astronaut Transport · · Score: 1

    SM speration fialure would be an LOC event for Orion due to the fact the Apollo OML is stable in two attitudes and how the parachutes are packaged. In this case Dragon with it's simple cargo trunk vs a full service module complete with more complex connections is the safer vehicle on reentry.

  12. Re:Nothing like a portable holocost. on Electromagnetic Pulse Gun To Help In Police Chases · · Score: 1

    You loose power steering the moment the engine dies unless it's a manual and the clutch is still in gear which would cause the engine to still spin. As for power breaks they are almost always vacuum assist though sometimes are hydraulic.

  13. They did not really think this out. on Electromagnetic Pulse Gun To Help In Police Chases · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Another issue is friendly fire you're going to be more likely to fire your fellow police car then the suspect's car. The HRF pulse also could accidentally or purposely reflected back at the source and damage radios,camera's and cell phones these are a lot less robust then an engine control computer. Last it's not exactly hard to defend against a little copper mesh and foil here and there and you can make a car almost invernable to anything less then a nuclear EMP.

  14. Re:Theater manager on Woman Filming Sister's Birthday Party Gets Charged With Felony Movie Piracy · · Score: 1

    Anyone who takes that blood money should burn in hell with the MPAA scum bags.

  15. It should be possible to challenge this law. on Woman Filming Sister's Birthday Party Gets Charged With Felony Movie Piracy · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this can be a water shed event to take down this terrible law. If the patriot act can be challenged then so can this pile of steaming dog flop. Really any law born of a special interest lobbyist group is unjust and should not exist.

    The NV conventional forces were pretty much massacred. Their airforce was shot out of the sky and their tanks tended to be destroyed rather quickly. The North Vietnamese incurred 95% of the losses in US forces with nothing more then rifles,tunnels and booby traps. US forces won almost every battle but they lost the war. The Vietcong choose when and where a battle was to take place and choose when to leave. You could say the US was playing chess while the Vietnamese were playing go.

    Actually it should no jail time at all as no one but some Satan suckler's money was threatened.

  20. This should not even be a crime. on Woman Filming Sister's Birthday Party Gets Charged With Felony Movie Piracy · · Score: 1

    This is complete bull she should not even have to go to jail for this the very worst they should be able to do should be throw her out of the theater. Not only is this morally wrong it's pissing away tax payer money at the tune of $36,900 for every year she is wrongfully in prison. It just shows US laws on this are broken as can be and the US media industry needs to go bankrupt. I have not been to a movie theater in years because I think Hollywood is nothing but a bunch of Satan sucklers anymore.

  21. Likely the Intel PowerVR partnership on Intel Kills Consumer Larrabee Plans · · Score: 1

    I suspect the Intel and PowerVR partnership may have have something to do with no consumer Larrabee plans. This partnership already has resulted in the 3100ce and PowervR has been working on some 1080p media accelerators. Larrabee does use a lot of power for the level of performance it would offer as a 3D chipset perhaps Intel and PowerVR have came with with something that does not use 160watts.

  22. Re:Intel is also world leader on chip fabrication on Intel Allows Release of Full 4004 Chip-Set Details · · Score: 1

    UMC's Fab 12i most definitely could produce a a core i7 and same with Hitachi ,and NEC as their fabs are as advanced maybe even more advanced than Intel's. Now China the most likely to make an illegal copy can't copy it outright as their most advanced process I believe is only 90nm. But they too probably could make a slower variant as for comments you can't just scale it yes but they do have fairly capable engineers.

  23. Re:Pirates on MPAA Asks Again For Control Of TV Analog Ports · · Score: 1

    I completely agree if I'm treated well by a company and they offer a fair price I do not feel compelled to steal from them. But if they treat me like a criminal or like an idiot they don't get my money.

  25. Re:Pirates on MPAA Asks Again For Control Of TV Analog Ports · · Score: 1

    The true enemy is the MPAA and RIAA they have turned US copyright laws into a joke by extending them over and over. I would consider it a great day if they went bankrupt. BTW I hope Sonny Bono is burning in hell for his copyright extension act.
