  1. Re:Net metering is little more than theft on The Groups Behind Making Distributed Solar Power Harder To Adopt · · Score: 1

    Price is not the only consideration. You may not care about your own health, but lots of people care about theirs.

  2. Re:Net metering is little more than theft on The Groups Behind Making Distributed Solar Power Harder To Adopt · · Score: 1

    Utility companies are strictly regulated by the government. They are not entitled to unlimited profit.

  3. Re:Net metering is unstustainable on The Groups Behind Making Distributed Solar Power Harder To Adopt · · Score: 2

    It's not sustainable if they don't adapt, true. There's no reason that we can't make our electric companies act as storage for the consumers. That's why they're public utilities.

  4. Re:As a retailer... on Google Teams Up With 3 Wireless Carriers To Combat Apple Pay · · Score: 1

    Apple Pay and Google Pay will not be free forever, obviously. Since they're not credit card processors, they'll always be more expensive than using just straight credit card processors.

  5. Re:As a retailer... on Google Teams Up With 3 Wireless Carriers To Combat Apple Pay · · Score: 1

    Doesn't effect retailers if they have modern software in place. End-to-end encryption starting with hardware is pretty tough to beat.

  6. As a retailer... on Google Teams Up With 3 Wireless Carriers To Combat Apple Pay · · Score: 0

    No Apple pay and no Google pay.

    1. They're expensive.
    2. They don't solve any problems.
    3. They add complexity.

  7. Amazon, anybody...? on Oregon Residents Riled Over Virtually Staff-free Data Centers Getting Tax-breaks · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'd be interested in seeing a poll of the number of people bitching about the lack of local jobs being created who also shop online.

  8. Chill out on Ask Slashdot: Panic Button a Very Young Child Can Use · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yeah, I have a suggestion. Chill the fuck out. Watch your 2 year old, and when he/she's asleep, don't worry about it.

  9. Re:Cue the libertarian fucktards on Confirmed: FCC Will Try To Regulate Internet Under Title II · · Score: 0

    This is why the government "interference" is required in the first place, Libertarian fucktard.

  10. Running = too much stress on Too Much Exercise May Not Be Better Than a Sedentary Lifestyle · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've always thought that running and jogging was too jarring to joints and such. I stay in great shape by *walking* ~5-6 miles a day, but I wouldn't run. Walking (fast) provides the same benefit as running, but without the joint wear and tear, and of course, it takes about twice as long.

  11. Re:I'm not sure how to break this to you... on Science's Biggest Failure: Everything About Diet and Fitness · · Score: 0

    No person's will controls their appetite for more than a few weeks, bodily instinct always take over in the end.

    Complete and utter bullshit.

  12. Market capitalization != Profit on How, and Why, Apple Overtook Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Market capitalization has nothing to do with profit, or even sales. It has to do with stock price, which, again, has nothing to do with profitability or any other measure of success of a company.

  13. Windows Phone on Fixing Verizon's Supercookie · · Score: 0

    ...or you can just use a Windows Phone and disable the advertising ID as part of the OS in the Settings menu.

  14. Re:Not an Ansible on New Micro-Ring Resonator Creates Quantum Entanglement On a Silicon Chip · · Score: 1

    Oh, then I need to do some more reading. I thought they were the same particle, just in different place at the same time.

  15. Re:Not an Ansible on New Micro-Ring Resonator Creates Quantum Entanglement On a Silicon Chip · · Score: 1

    No, once you have two entangled photons, they're in perfect sync because they're the same particle. Not at all random.

  16. Quick summary on New Micro-Ring Resonator Creates Quantum Entanglement On a Silicon Chip · · Score: 1

    Quantum physics has proven (over a century) that photons can be entangled, meaning that two completely different photons, in different places, can instantly influence each other. Instant is a whole lot faster than electrons can move.

    Also, re encryption. When photons are entangled, it can also be looked at as the same photon at two different places at one time, so there is no transfer of information at all because the data is being transmitted to and from the same photon.

  17. Re:removing the speed of light barrier on New Micro-Ring Resonator Creates Quantum Entanglement On a Silicon Chip · · Score: 2

    No, there's no correlation. It's the same object.

  18. Re:removing the speed of light barrier on New Micro-Ring Resonator Creates Quantum Entanglement On a Silicon Chip · · Score: 1

    Sorry, information cannot travel faster than the speed of light based on physics as we know it.

    Maybe as YOU know it, but you don't understand quantum physics.

  19. Re:Lowest hanging fruit. on New Google Fiber Cities Announced · · Score: 1

    Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!

  20. Re:But does it matter any more? on Windows 10 IE With Spartan Engine Performance Vs. Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 1

    Is Windows really relevant anymore?

    Yes, as it does to most of us who are gainfully employed.

  21. Chargers? on Getting Charged Up Over Chargers at CES (Video) · · Score: 1

    I don't see what the big deal is. I plug my phone into whatever computer I'm sitting at. I'm at a computer for most of my waking hours.

  22. Re:Not surprising on Surface RT Devices Won't Get Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    I get a new phone every two years. I just picked up my third Windows Phone the other day. An OS, yes, I'd like supported for a decade or so. A phone? Meh. I'll grab a new one every few years, and get the new software along with it. I haven't felt like they've abandoned my phones at all.

  23. Re:Why diesel fuel? on Short-Term Exposure To Diesel Fumes Causes Changes In Gene Expression · · Score: 1

    We could easier and more quickly reduce pollution by pushing a shift from gasoline to much more efficient diesel engines in the meantime, though, with no added infrastructure. I already get 50 mpg with my awesome TDI.

  25. Re:Most Unbiased Slashdot Gamergate Article on FBI Confirms Open Investigation Into Gamergate · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's because none of that little shit matters. Nobody really cares about a bunch of guys who live in their parents' basements arguing about video games. People do care when a bunch of people threaten other people with bodily harm.

    Get some perspective, moron.
