  1. Re:Not that much on Study: 8 Million Metric Tons of Plastic Dumped Into Oceans Annually · · Score: 1

    Considering the plastic is concentrated in gyres and not evenly distributed? Yes...yes that is a lot.

  2. Re:How about mandatory felony sentences instead? on Drunk Drivers in California May Get Mandated Interlock Devices · · Score: 1

    Nothing wrong with getting drunk, but its probably the poor decision to take your car to the bar rather than a cab or the bus.

  3. Re: Are they really that scared? on Why Elon Musk's Batteries Frighten Electric Companies · · Score: 1

    No, mining coal is pretty bad too. The waste slurry that comes off those mines is stored in large ponds, and sometimes breaks out and devastates small communities.

  4. Re: Why on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 1

    DEF isnt a terrible pain, to be honest. Its just another expense. I dont have to fill the DEF tank every time, and about the 3rd fillup of my twin 150 gallon tanks is when I need to. Most fuel stops have bulk DEF at the fuel islands, I just pull out a different nozzle when I'm done fueling and press another button.

  5. Re: Why on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 1

    I drive a 2013 Freightliner with a DD15 15 liter diesel fitted with DPF and DEF. 300,000 miles on it. Its fairly quiet and doesnt stink a bit.

  6. Re:Make Worlk Program ? on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 2

    All new trucks in the US have DEF (urea) systems and DPFs now, my 2013 Freightliner doesnt belch a bit of black smoke, either.

    Hitachi still makes harddrives, no?

    Look, its a random link in the top post, by an AC. Why would you even click that?

  11. Re:And my car gets 60 MPG going downhill on Comcast Launches Superfast Internet To Fight FiOS · · Score: 1

    If you over-utilize a power distribution network, your voltages will drop, wonky things will happen, and eventually you will throw a shunt or breaker and hell will break loose. I can see it.

    There definitely is an organisation dedicated to gun rights. The Second Amendment Foundation http://www.saf.org/

  13. Re:So how come they are "smart" meters? on FBI Says Smart Meter Hacks Are Likely To Spread · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Most analog meters I have seen (I do residential) are 4 blades. You can actually pull them out and flip them upside down, and they will run backwards!

  14. Re:Just coat them with plutonium on New Cable Designed To Deter Copper Thieves · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The return can be quite well if you know what you are doing. When I worked in Springfield, IL as an apartment maintenance guy, we had a rash of air conditioner coil thefts. So much so that on a lot of our buildings we had moved to roof mounted units. The guy stealing the copper knew exactly what to unbolt to slide that coil right out and run. We were not the only apartments to lose these, either. Even businesses were getting hit.

  15. Re:wow on The Chinese Town Where Old Christmas Lights Go · · Score: 1

    He didnt even mention a christmas tree! Also, does it matter how these traditions started if hes just saying theyre wasteful now?

  16. Re:iPhone 4 on 4G vs. 3G vs. WiFi Throughput For Samsung's Epic 4G · · Score: 1

    nevermiiiiind completely missed the second link to the chart. Rather confusing, that one. What are they trying to show?

  17. Re:iPhone 4 on 4G vs. 3G vs. WiFi Throughput For Samsung's Epic 4G · · Score: 1

    This is a Samsung Epic review, not a comparison with other phones, as far as I can tell.

  18. Re:LTE != 4G on Verizon, 4G and iPhones · · Score: 1

    there is no "4G" as of yet, but if anything, LTE would be exactly what is required. It is also, by design, more scalable while using less resources than HSDPA+ As of now they are still working on what "4G" actually defines, and until then, it is nothing more than a marketing term.

  19. Re:The missing piece on Verizon, 4G and iPhones · · Score: 1

    There is "no such thing" as 4G right now, anyway. It is nothing more than a marketing term, while they work out which standards apply.

  20. Re:NoScript FTW on Attack Targets LinkedIn Users With Fake Contact Requests · · Score: 1

    It's not as if LinkdIn or other high profile sites routinely feature drive by downloads.

    Not only that, the attack in question targets LinkedIn users with a fake link via email. The attack isnt even hosted on the service's website.

    to have pride for one's country and ask others to buy from companies in their own country is RACIST? just what the hell is racism then?
