  1. Now he should be shot by a native American on Garmin Engineer Shot And Killed By Man Yelling 'Get Out Of My Country!' (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Get out of my country, immigrant"

  2. The biggest actually on Samsung To Acquire Connected Car Firm Harman For $8 Billion (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    more than 50% of revenue

  3. More than 50% of revenue is for cars on Samsung To Acquire Connected Car Firm Harman For $8 Billion (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Just not all under the Harman brand. A lot of car navigation systems and radios are from Harman (Daimler, VW, Audi, Chrysler, etc)

  4. Better weather? on Met Office Loses BBC Weather Forecasting Contract · · Score: 1

    If they source it to the Spanish weather service, maybe the weather across the UK will improve! I heard their forecasts are much better! :-) Scorcio!

  5. Volkswagen as well on Ford's New Smart Headlights For Tracking Objects At Night · · Score: 1

    in the European Touareg

  6. Why not on land? on SpaceX To Attempt Falcon 9 Landing On Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship · · Score: 1

    Should be much easier and cheaper. Any non-technical reasons? Tax?

  7. See how Hollywood donated to him (link) on UK MP Says ISPs Must Take Responsibility For Movie Leaks, Sony Eyes North Korea · · Score: 1

    Donations made by Motion Picture Licensing Co Ltd to Mike Weatherley http://searchthemoney.com/prof...

  8. Re:If that's true, Most parents are NUTS! on Most Parents Allow Unsupervised Internet Access To Children At Age 8 · · Score: 1

    Do you let your children walk outside by themselves?

  9. Meanwhile thousands of kids are killed in traffic on Most Parents Allow Unsupervised Internet Access To Children At Age 8 · · Score: 1

    Parents (and I am one myself), don't get dragged into the media hype of paedophiles and internet bullies everywhere. Your child is much more likely to be run over by a car.

  10. 20%, not 5 on Kenya Seeks Nuclear Power Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    In the first half of 2011 Germany got 20.8% of eneergy from renewable sources. (German source: http://www.bdew.de/internet.nsf/id/DE_20110829-PI-Erneuerbare-liefern-mehr-als-20-Prozent-des-Stroms)

  11. Re:Does this mean all the Chinese cars are going t on Former Employee Stole Ford Secrets Worth $50 Million · · Score: 1

    If you think the US unions are strong then you have not seen the European/German ones! I know somebody who wants VPN access to his company network but the unions would not allow it (they think the company would force him to work from home). This way he has no access to his email on business trips.

  12. Not true on Auto Industry's Fastest Processor Is 128Mhz · · Score: 0

    There are digital signal processors in production for years which go up to 333MHz, like ADI SHARCs. BMW had one in their E70 X5 audio system. I am sure there are more examples. I will check at work tomorrow but I am sure there are also higher speed C out there.

  13. In an accident on The iPad As In-Car Entertainment System Killer · · Score: 1

    the iPad becomes the iMissile. INtegrated systems are crash tested extensively.

  14. BMW had these for years on GM Working On Interactive Windshields · · Score: 1

    not with lasers, but it's great for navigation commands and speed display.

  15. The current owner IS dead on Killer Apartment Vs. Persistent Microwave Exposure? · · Score: 0, Troll

    died of a sudden brain cancer only about 3 months after moving in. But nothing to worry about.

  16. And the IIPA website is running... on Use Open Source? Then You're a Pirate! · · Score: 1

    Solaris, which is in parts open source as well off course ;-)

  17. This is so stupid it hurts on English Market Produces Energy With Kinetic Plates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As many other commented, the energy comes off course from the petrol engine of the cars. 1. The efficiency of this system from petrol to electricity must be really low 2. It creates pollution right where you don't want it, in the city: Exhaust fumes plus tire wear

  18. Unfortunately he gave it all away to his family on Feds Demand Prison For Guns N' Roses Uploader · · Score: 1

    and friends. And because this is not the West Bank, communal punishment is not an option.

  19. Done a lot around here on Tapping the Earth For Home Heating and Cooling · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Here in South Germany about 25% of the new houses built in our neighborhood have it. Old hat. If you use your garden as the storage medium your plants will flower later than your neighbor's....

  20. What a waste of energy on Intel Claims an Advance In Wireless Power · · Score: 4, Insightful

    25% of wasted power and goal achieved? Plus a nice pulsating magnetic field in the house? No thank you.

  21. Lazy? Incompetent? on UK Gov't Lost Personal Data On 4M People In One Year · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Most of the civil servants are proabaly happy that they have managed to drag and drop a few files to the USB stick. They probably don't even know what encryption is.

  22. Knifes in lounge restaurants on TSA To Allow Laptops In Approved Bags · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why exactly are we not allowed to carry screwdrivers etc on board and then (I did this last week at DTW, Detroit) you receive a sharp metal knife and fork in the restaurant after security?

  23. Change the background pic on Best Way To Get Back a Stolen Computer? · · Score: 5, Funny

    to Goatse?

  24. "Internet killed the video star" on TV Viewers' Average Age Hits 50 · · Score: 1

    This way it fit into the tune!

  25. Re:House prices in the EU on Higher Oil Prices Are Starting To Bring Jobs Home · · Score: 1

    They are NOT dropping, only in the UK where they were ridiculously overinflated.
