  1. Re:Vulcan eh on Scientists Find 'Super-Earth' In Star System From 'Star Trek' (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    The 2x gravity of the planet means it can hold a denser atmosphere. Depending on the composition of gasses, that could be quite the blanketing effect to retain heat.

  2. Re:Blame the EU commission.. on VW Group, BMW and Daimler Are Under Investigation For Collusion In Europe (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    More reliable, safer, and efficient. But that adds to complexity and cost.

    Is there any reason we can't have the efficiency of a modern 4 cylinder engine, drive-train without all the useless "features" that just adds to complexity and cost? I would love to own a brand new car that's easy to work on without all the entertainment and luxury electronic crap. I dunno, say a base model of a 1980's Honda Civic or a Toyota light truck (manual windows, etc) but constructed with modern safety and engine. Is anti-lock braking even needed in a car that light?? Hopefully you get the gist.

    Given his head is already in outer space, I suppose it's only fitting he takes the rest of his body up there too.

    Locust voters - they destroy their own area, so flee to another region only to fuck it up all the same with their same ignorant socialist preferences.

  5. Not long enough for testing. Even after 20 minutes of passing, the card would be right at that threshold to where if even the ambient temps got hotter hours later, it could throw an error and lead to data / result corruption.

    I much prefer having some safety distance to ensure running integrity.

  6. The CCP's primary mission is to protect the CCP first and foremost. All other obstacles in the way are expendable. It's very beautifully constructed to be self-reinforced to exist. It might even dominate the world and lead it towards a dystopia for thousands of years.

    The ability for a regime to survive doesn't not on how well it values life, but quite the opposite. Morals, ethics, value of human life. Those are for the weak and only get in the way.

  7. Tribal bribes on FCC Data Exaggerates Broadband Access On Tribal Lands (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's my understanding that anyone that wishes to build cellular infrastructure on tribal land must go through the FCC. Then,by law, the FCC must send out notifications to every tribe in the US (regardless of being states away) and ask if they have a vested interest in that tiny plot of land to be used. If "Yes", the tribe must make an offer.

    So what do you know, every tribe comes out of the woodwork and demands fee. That gets real expensive in a hurry!

  8. Re:Was an interesting time capsule on Leaked Video Shows Google Executives' Candid Reaction To Trump Victory (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    LIVs are political agnostic. Meaning, you will find them among people of all walks of life. I think where you find LIVs are the "undecided". They're like seaweed, just waving back and forth the with the waves; as in they follow what other say without actually attempting to gather more information for themselves.

  9. Yup. Sounds about right.

  10. 64bit makes development more unified regardless whether or not you need to address more than 4GB of RAM.

    As for the ECG certification, perhaps it's functional, but not nearly with the same resolution as the kind found with a dedicated machine.

    That's the entire point. The burden is so much, that it's far easier to *whitelist* commentary from the public than it is to blacklist re-actively.

    The internet in the EU has turned into the MSM as read-only content instead of being interactive.

  12. Re:The FPV industry was destroyed in EU already on European Parliament Votes in Favor of Controversial Copyright Laws (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    That's a valid point. I mean, banning guns never prevented criminals from using them to murder anyone. And the fact they're criminals means they never adhered to the law anyways.

    The solution? President Boba Fett needs to use his weapons to counter-attack the incoming drones.

    Twice the size of Texas.... Just wrap your head around that for a moment. If this idea is to be taken seriously, then the world is going to need lots and lots of the boats, all controlled via automation and SATCOM communications remotely. They can be powered via solar or nuclear of needed. But one boat is only a concept at best, and would take thousands of years non-stop at the current rate or progress.

  14. Re:Here is how this will be abused. on Apple Is Building An Online Portal For Police To Make Data Requests (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Not good enough. With the Gov, you give an inch, they take a light year. In relatively short order, the Gov will deam this not good enough, and demand a clipper chip or key escrow ("back door") built into all regional US iPhone SKUs. In typical hard-coded fashion, they will phone home to the Gov.

    You're now the bitch of the Feds.

  15. Re:Sure, using "www" is antiquated on Google Slammed Over Chrome Change That Strips 'www' From Domain URLs (itwire.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No! WWW is not antiquated. WWW is a perfectly valid sub domain for use in (ready for it?)...hosting a web page!

    Other sub domains often used include remote, webmail, ftp, vpn, etc. Don't just implicitly tie all apps and protocols to the parent domain, and rely on the app to assume functionality!

  16. So "banging your grades out" is now a thing? What a slutty thing to do. But hey, sex = power, so it's not like anything new.

  17. Re:Ok, this isn't funny anymore on Trump Ups Ante on China, Threatens Duties on Nearly All its Imports (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    You need not worry. If we put a 15% tariff on them, the Chinese government will simply devalue the Yuan (as they always do) so as to maintain steady employment within China. That's the biggest fear of the CCP, mass unemployment WITHIN China.

    So net change = we will be paying more in the single digit percentage points. Just remember, somebody has to buy their crap. It's just that China has more to lose by not exporting.

    Right, because WW3 in the form of thermonuclear exchange is a great way to start the day. But at least the liberal coastal cities will be depopulated in a hurry.

    Yeah, I'm an asshole like that.

    Two axiomatic problems with Socialism

    1. Those in power that advocate socialism never live by he very rules they set for everyone else.

    Pssst! Don't tell anyone, but Radio is code word for "conservative talk radio". Only conservatives spies get there marching orders from Rush Limbaugh. At any moment, they're ready to act on a coordinated attack against gays and hipsters. A Pearl Harbor event were they take San Francisco.
