  1. Re:What if the tanker crashes? on Alaska To Export Billions of Gallons of Water · · Score: 1

    umm you cant pollute the ocean with fresh water it gets fresh water all the time ever hear of rain.

  2. Re:Wow! I could be so productive! on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    its called manual override. no matter how good auto cars get they will always need that ability.

  3. Re:Think of the jobs on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    the jobs will still be there. any auto drive wile adds a grater safety when perfected will never be perfect. they will also be non auto drive cars sill on the road probably forever. so it would still always need a human to take over controls when something unforeseen happens or the system errors. what it would damage would be towns and thee traffic infraction fines. imagine it most cars on the road not speeding running stop signs etc. expect maybe people switching them to manual mode.

  4. Re:illegal on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    you would be. any automated car will always have a human override. maybe taping the brake like cruse control. so if your auto drive makes a mistake and your paying attention i don't see how you wouldn't be able to correct it before something bad happens. and from the test cars other then getting rear ended they didn't mess up. and 140,000 miles with only miner human correction seems pretty dammed good.

    theirs fines then there is just bs. maybe after are last spammer went crazy when they tossed him in minum security jail they figured just fine a crazy amount they can never collect. i hope the Canada courts look at that and laugh.

  8. bs on Canadian Spammer Fined Over $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    spam is annoying but any smart user avoids it. well any ad on the net. a billion dollars would bankrupt most corps let alone a single person. yet another ruling that is useless and pointless being they will never collect any of it. with that debt he better hope he never loses his job. no job wile hire on with that kind of debt. all they did was eliminate his abilty for loans.

  9. same old bs on British Teen Jailed Over Encryption Password · · Score: 1

    best thing you can do is not say anything ever. never talk to police. pretty much all convictions are because someone talks.

    every company does it really the case with telcos. look at every bill you get other then maybe rent. your gonna find stupid charges.

  11. hardware on 66% of All Windows Users Still Use Windows XP · · Score: 1

    people don't upgrade there machines all the time like they used to. pretty much as long as there hardware is working they keep using it. most people are running dule cores or p4 single cores. unless your a pc gamer there is no point in running a badass gpu and 6 cores with 16gb of ram. the only reason i upgraded to a dule core system i have a gamer buddy who gives me his old hardware. all of witch can still play all games just not at full settings like he likes. so now i have a gaming laptop 4gb of ram a nivida gtx overkill for what i need from it. my desktop is still a single core 2gb ram xp machine. and my netbook runs linux.

  15. space is a big place on Earth-Like Planet That Could Sustain Life Found · · Score: 1

    who knows how many earth like planets are out there if any. and if there turns out to be alot of them then it proves no life forms have figured out high speed space travel.you gotta rember we have only looked at roughly 1% of everything out there. and them clamming another earth like even in that small window says something. conserding the big bang was supposed to be the start of it all it would mean all life would be evolved around the same time line give or take a few million years. so i dought we will find any super evloved lifeforms but probably around the same evolution as us.

  17. been there done that. on Sony Lawsuits Target PS3 Jailbreak Authors · · Score: 1

    sonys realty has been rather warped sense the ps3. but microsoft tried this with the xbox and lost. the only thing they set was a standard for chip makers to ship blank or with lnux bios. apple tried this with iphone and lost. being there is the simple fact you do own the hardware and can tinker with it. despite what apple,microsoft and sony think. so let them go to court and lose it will be funny. they aruldy opend the flood gates removing linux and now hey will brake the dam down with this move.

  22. music sucks everywhere on Copyright License Fees Drive Pandora Out of Canada · · Score: 1

    the labels are just not willing to face alot of things no matter where you live. there hasn't been any good artist in a dammed long time im sure there is talent out there but the record labels never sign them. even marshal manders with his 2 new albums have been eh. not bad not awesome. even tho he still managed good sales compared to others. and the only albems i bought in years. so they have talentless fools out there for the most part. then you have the company's themselves just doing everything they can to block legit systems out there. with insane fees for broadcasters blocking pretty much everyone. then you have the riaa going sue happy with laws ment for other corps being slammed on everyday people. and they wonder why nobody whants anything made by them. i dont download or buy music.

  23. ufos heh on Former Military Personnel Claim Aliens Are Monitoring Our Nukes · · Score: 1

    i rember when upn first became a network they did a huge thing on ufos. a remake of a close encounter of a family that went missing. crazy stuff. but the problem with ufos is the footage has always been crap even with modern cameras. so i call it bs. show me clear hd shots of them where they cant be discredited. i rember when are stealth bomber was still in the classified stage everyone thought it was a ufo. till the air force stepped up and said no its a aircraft. and in the 50s we did experiment with flying saucers but at least they clame they never got them to fly more then a few feet off the ground barly. of course we all know rosewell happond way to many people saw it to say no it didn't. but the fact was it man made or alien was never told. as for this story disabling nukes would be quite easy with a good emp blast. emp would fry the computers leaving the nuke useless to launch.

    eve is a largely player ran game. eve had the market for a wile but with star trek online out now they do have another player in there market. i hear early star trek is horrid if you do it more then once but otherwise the game is pretty dammed good and only getting better the devs didn't let a bad launch slow them down. apb was really looking to hit a huge market look how many cops of gta sell. but they just managed to spend tons of money making a sub par game. they had lots of good ideas but simply failed at them. and if they really spent that kind of cash on this game why use such a bad company known for failing heck they coulda got rockstar to do it for that kind of money and they know gta.
