  1. Re:Credit not games on Ask Slashdot: How Should Sony Compensate PSN Users? · · Score: 1

    So $50 to spend on products that cost them nothing and will not work next time PSN goes down?

    I rather get a free game on a real disk, so I can have fun playing it while PSN is down. Actually I don't buy anything from PSN, I will not buy something that will disappear when they kill off the service in 5 years.

    So you got your PS3 for nothing?
    A rebate for the multiplayer portion of the game you don't use?
    Clearly sony is making more money by having PSN than not, or they would not have it.

    I think it is bad enough that in 10 years none of these games will work online, but I am sure DOOM2 still will. Yet, here we have another useful idiot defending the very folks who put it up his ass and broke it off.

    Look an Astroturfer. Only one comment and a fresh account.

    Look you stupid PR hack, if you are going to astroturf at least have the decency to create the account ahead of time and add a little to the dialog before you go posting your paid drivel.

    A predicted crash every 100k miles is doing pretty well. I probably have that rate. So far one wreck with failed ABS, it decided to not apply the brakes even though the wheels were not locked. The other due to black ice. Both were technically my fault.

    What I do not understand is companies that get these letters after having tried to stay in compliance and then go on using these products. If I owned a business and got such a letter you can guarantee we would never use such products again.

    Don't make the mistake of looking at what it does to other people. Look at what you are doing, your actions.

    Your current car does this?
    No way you could fit that many in any vehicle I care to own.
    What kind of sedan can hold 5 adults and luggage?

    Lithium batteries are going to cost $7k to replace and more like every 10-20 years is a replacement cycle. That is bad enough no need to exaggerate.

    The reality is these vehicles will not be cheap for quite a while. The Telsa sedan gets pretty close on most of the above except for price and hauling 5 adults, which I can't see any sedan really doing. Price will come down with time.

    I said in theory. In reality it is a huge waste of power to produce, embrittles every damn metal it touches, leaks out of everything and is in general a huge pain in the ass to work with.

    No, you can not. Steam reformation is not something that can be done on that small of a scale and be monitored by the pothead manning the cash register.

    In theory the idea is that once you have hydrogen fueled vehicles you can switch to cleaner sources of hydrogen. Like cracking water in a high temperature nuclear reactor. Either way everything is just storage of energy from the big bang.

    Why not just pay for the power?
    Run the lights in such a way that you are drawing the same constant load and don't get too greedy by shoving more plants into a house than can be hid in the basement. It seems if you did that it would be likely no one would notice.

    Then it should not be billed by the unit. They should have a cost of service fee and a very low per unit cost.

    That seems backwards. During a drought they should just increase the price of water, until usage goes down as much as they need.
