  1. And MMOs.

  2. I guess that's one assumption based on a single anecdote revised.

  3. Re:Two Million Man-Years? on Japan Fukushima Nuclear Plant 'Clean-Up Costs Double,' Approaching $200 Billion (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    800k per person isn't all that much if you consider that perhaps it includes temporary accomodations (since 2011). Five years in a hotel room is gonna get costly.

  4. I agree with most of what you said, but I also vaguely recall reading some years ago that Japan basically doesn't have pensions - that getting 'retired' is not the sudden inflow of free time we know in the western world, but a degradation to working as a bagger in the local supermarket to survive.

  5. Re:Very math. Such good. on The Mac App Store Is Full of Scams (howtogeek.com) · · Score: 1

    I picked those two because it's the two dollars I tend to hear about from my circle of friends. Sadly I have no friends in Namibia or the Bahamas. Would like the latter to go visit, though!

    30% of 30 dollars is 9 dollars, not 10.

    So not only do ACs get ignored based entirely on being ACs, now we also ignore good points made from registered accounts based on ... the name of the account?

    Welcome to kindergarten.

  9. Re:Well duh! on Edward Snowden Loses Norway Safe Passage Case (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize the courts were private companies in Norway.

  10. Then they were NO ONE's pictures.

  11. Sometimes being an introvert who doesn't like social events isn't such a bad thing.

  12. Re:Second to announce being first. on Finland Set To Become First Country To Ban Coal Use For Energy (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    So does the US.

    Please provide a quote where it is stated that the money gets transferred from NASA Earth Science to NOAA and not to The Donald Trump Post Presidency Retirement Fund.

  15. 1) Didn't do it fast enough.
    2) What about X? Why doesn't X get a medal?

    No, it's a series of tubes.

  18. Re:I feel sorry for you guys. No joke. on Trump Names Two Opponents of Net Neutrality To Oversee FCC Transition Team (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    Let me put it this way: Bush, for all his flaws, never started a nuclear war. There is still room to be worse than him.

    Well, some Youtube comments do give you cancer, so maybe that's why!

    Buying physical media may be safer, but as everything requires online activation of one sort or another now, and you can only use a given serial number once, you're just as screwed WITH the DVD as you are without.
