  1. Re:waste? on Toshiba Pushes Safe, Small Nuclear Reactor Design · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    why are you treating a cat for cancer.

    it is a pet, which is basically a waste of resources.

    donate the money for the cat and medical expenses to your local charity, and feel much better about yourself.
    And you wont have to pick up shit.

    And how can you consider the radioactive waste cost when your goddamn cat is making radioactive waste.

  2. Ignorance on Toshiba Pushes Safe, Small Nuclear Reactor Design · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "The word 'nuclear' makes me nervous," said Randy Virgin of the Alaska Center for the Environment. "But we've long seen the problems with diesel, and I'm pretty excited about the prospect of a clean source of energy," he said. "It sounds very promising, but I'd approach it with extreme skepticism."

    There is soooo much less polution from nuclear reactors given the probability of worst case scenarios versus the diesel they are currently using. Why are we still burning fossel fuels!@!#@#!@!#

    They arent in a location very suitable for wind/solar either, so nuclear seems like the best non-renewable solution.

    Such a backwards society we live in, when technology is available and safe, and we delay in implementation.

    Picture this: you sailing down city streets at freeway speeds, with perpendicular streams of traffic flowing through another through the magic of precise timing. The microsoft based system says "critical update required" and you skip it of course, you will download it later. Your car is backdoored, and a 13 year old plays some real life GTA, and drives your car in the other lane. You collide at freeway speed headon with another car going the same speed in the opposite direction. You also hit 50 pedestrians. You lose, the kid wins 60 points, 1 for each pedestrian and 10 for the car destruction

    OK I find visualization useful here.

    First, visualize a bunch of feces. Poop from different animals, and different diets. So different sized poop, different colored poop, and different smelling poop.

    Ok, now start throwing that poop at your TV screen. When you are finished, that is your "kaleidoscope, thousands of streams of content, some indistinguishable as actual channels."
    You see, you cannot distinguish which poop is which, but you do know there is a lot of poop there.

  23. Stupidest prediction EVER! on TV's Tipping Point · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Like viewers wish to devote all of their attention to the TV. Or program the TV. TV is great because it preys on our laziness. You can sit there and do nothing, and gain entertainment, or sleep.

    "audiences will want to organize and re-order content the way they want it"
    No, we dont, we want to use one button on a remote.

    But, as I RTFA, I do agree with some of his points.

    TV programs should be able to be watched any time. I should be able to watch my programs in my order at my time.
    Excluding live events of course, which should be left live for obvious reasons.

    Media is changing. If the music industry wasnt a wake up call for the movie and television industries, it sure should have been. People will do things their way, and the industry cannot control that. They must change to keep pace with it, as the music industry has not in general.

    Interesting ideas, well written article. But television is still, and always will be about laziness for me. How else could you ever get through a 5 hour breakup with a girlfriend without a TV to watch during it. (while pretending to listen of course)

  25. Re:You put your chocolate in my peanut butter on Extreme Programming Refactored · · Score: 1

    XP and refactoring are buzzwords...

    But if you plan on coding efficiently and making if a dynamic and scaleable system is required, they are both essential.

    After all we dont want any "bad smells" (XP phrase) to occur, this can result in "decaying code" (XP phrase)

    If you dont use XP and refactoring, your code may work, but it will suck. Even if you dont call it that, any good programmer already does 99% of the things in XP and refactoring, it is just an attempt to set good practices for the IT world.

    Unlike building a bridge or house, there are little good practice suggestions available for coding, everyone seems to want to keep secret the best way to do things.
