  2. Re:Impact on The World's First Osmotic Power Plant · · Score: 1

    I'd like to know how much energy these plants will actually produce when it's production level. It seems to be an extremely low impact solution, except where boats need to enter/exit riverways, and for that matter fish.

    if they suspect people of committing a crime, they should get a warrant.

    But that would involve due process and presumption innocence, and well, we can't have that now. What's next? Right to a fair trial?

    Is it just me, or is anyone else reminded of actionscript 1.0 "lingo"?

    Seems in their examples that you even download a "web player". Hmmm. Methinks flash kinda has this market already covered. (Ducks after uttering forbidden word on Slashdot).

  5. Re:Pay closer attention. on Obama Wants Computer Privacy Ruling Overturned · · Score: 1

    It's a shame that the tree of liberty is wilting, and that there's no-one out there willing and able to water it.

    What do you mean? People urinate on it on a daily basis.

    Does it make a difference if we ended up with a Stalin instead of a Hitler?

    Depends. Are you jewish? If not, then take Hitler over Stalin. Hitler killed Jews, Stalin killed his own people.

  9. Re:Not possible on Would You Use a Free Netbook From Google? · · Score: 1

    You know what? I've had the "You can disable advertising" option on Slashdot for about 6 months or so now. You know what? I don't click it. Why? Because Slashdot is not rude in its advertising. Their advertising generates money for slashdot, which means that I can read some interesting stories during the day. I'm happy about this situation and I support it.

    Google I've found to be the same. They don't have flashy lights and fancy tricks to demand my attention. They also don't hit me over the head with a baseball bat like so many other advertisers to get my eyeballs. Hence, I am perfectly OK with google advertising. They provide a service in exchange for my eyeballs, and don't burn my retinas at the same time. If they were to supply me with a laptop, I would out of principle keep the advertising enabled. That is, of course, if it would be obnoxious.

    I'd do that, but I heard that girlfriend 2.0 is incompatible with wife 1.0. It has to be uninstalled first, and eventually girlfriend 2.0 will auto-upgrade to wife 2.0 anyway.
