    It's not the rum itself which is bad for you, it's the damn dihydrogen monoxide that's in it!

    What's left apart from regular, non-smart cellphones?

    Not all energy production pollutes in the same way in the same quantities, so that's not really a valid comparison either.

    How about simply using the tons of coal burned by each country? That's the current topic isn't it?

  12. What do you mean? The Metroid videogame or the Ford car?

  13. If you look at it as "population equals energy usage" then he's right.

    Of course, people in the USA use a lot more energy than people in Europe or even Canada, so what metric would you use for comparison?

  20. There's a lot of difference between 1~2km of range and two hours of driving.

    My point is, what's the absolute best case scenario from having a solar panel on a car with the current solar panel technology? Is it even worth it?

    Sure, only Tesla gets taxpayer money... *cough*GM bailout*cough*.

    At least Tesla are pushing forward instead of just continuing to make the same crap as everybody else.

  22. But with today's solar panel technology, even suggesting putting solar panels on a car is idiotic. One day's worth of charge in the middle of a non-cloudy summer day will let you drive what, one or two kilometres?

  23. "Routers are access points that connect laptops, iPhones and other devices to the web without a cable."

    Okay, but what the hell is a "cable"?

  24. Re:Much more than barcodes on Walmart Tests Blockchain For Use In Food Recalls (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    When every step of the chain uses the blockchain, from manufacturing/production to the end-user, you know from where every single item originates, the date, where it traveled, where it ended up and how to contact everyone in that chain (buyer's email).

    So if manufacturer X says product Y made on date Y/m/d in factory Z is tainted, they have a way to email every store to tell them to dump the items and also a way to contact every affected customer to tell them to return the item to the store.

    You can't do that with a simple barcode.
