    No. Apple knows how to make an aluminium shell, in which they stuff a bunch of components made by companies that actually know how to make computers.

    Most fail to admit that electric car market penetration is horrible overall anyway. Tesla is not competing with other electric cars. They're competing with other luxury cars. For most intents and purposes they're making enough to stay alive, but they're losing that competition.

    Yeah because establishing peace in the middle east has historically worked out so incredibly well, right?

    We just shouldn't set up permanent residence. Pushing further out in to space is something we as a species need to start taking seriously for practical reasons, instead of romantic ones.

    Another broad sweeping generalization. What a shock!

  7. Re:Require licensing on Only Self-Awareness Can Keep Drones Out of Do Not Fly Zones · · Score: 1

    You don't actually need a license to buy a motor vehicle either. As for operation, be very very careful with that. It varies a great deal from place to place. In some places it's so ambiguous that if a cop does show up you're relying greatly on his personal interpretation of the law.

  8. Re:Require licensing on Only Self-Awareness Can Keep Drones Out of Do Not Fly Zones · · Score: 1

    Owning land does not mean you own an infinite amount of airspace above it. Up to a range of 500' (limits vary by country) is considered to be "your" airspace. Space above that is considered to be much the same as a public highway. This is why it's not possible to sue plane operators for trespass if they're flying over you.

    So as long as you're within your airspace and not using your drone to spy on your neighbors, you'll probably be fine.

    So because of your one limited experience it must happen in every case possible? When people like you stand up and make broad sweeping generalizations like this based on a single experience it really does make me think that you can't think critically.

    I assume you mean COBOL, since COBAL isn't a language. I wrote stuff in that language before I was even taught in school that half of what I was doing was called "basic algebra".

    A language being old doesn't suddenly mean you're required to be a Math major to do something in it.

    I'm sorry, but going off half cocked screaming doom and destruction without any real evidence to back up your claims just makes you look like a tinfoil hat wearing idiot. I'm so sick of the tools here who seem to think evidence is only necessary when it contradicts their opinion. You people make us all look bad.

    Just a day or two ago /. does the responsible thing and posts an article that actually discusses what is going on and shows that it's really not that big a deal. The very next day they're bad to spreading fud. Make up your mind, and stop trying to have it both ways.

  17. Re:I volunteer as tribute. on MIT Researchers Discover "Metabolic Master Switch" To Control Obesity · · Score: 1

    Lots more than "98%" of people manage to follow the proper regimen. Hell, there are ENTIRE COUNTRIES where obesity isn't even close to being a serious pandemic problem like it is in western countries.

    The problem is the people you're looking at have willpower issues to begin with. That's WHY they have weight problems in the first place. Sticking to a diet/exercise regimen is understandably hard for some people, but if you don't stick to it and then make no progress you have nobody but yourself to blame.

    It blows my mind that your post is modded "insightful". It really should be -5, Ignorant as fuck.

    That's because in the real world, only about 2% of those people stick with the changes they need to make. This isn't something you do for a month and then forget about. It's a change you make that is ongoing for the rest of your life. It's a lifestyle choice.

    It has been proven CONCLUSIVELY that proper diet and exercise cures weight problems. This isn't some voodoo conjured up by pseudo-science. This is a well researched fact.

    Unfortunately it's a pipe dream because the people who have the most power over laws and policies are also the ones who control the majority of the wealth. I'm sure there are some wealthy people with enough sense to understand that balancing out financial inequality is a good idea, but most will fight it tooth and nail.

    "as machines took over the humdrum tasks, humans would work less and create more"

    No, what happens is humans work less, and spend more time looking for work in order to survive. The problem with the utopian ideal is that they keep pinning it on the idea that you'll be able to survive with little or no money, which is star trek bullshit that will never happen.

    Lustig's claims are heavily criticized by many scientists and has been debunked more than once. The problem is people keep parroting what he says because he uses very technical terminology that only other doctors can really understand and scrutinize.
