  1. Re:Oil free by choice or coercion? on Hydrogen Buses In Iceland · · Score: 1

    So this war in iraq isnt to help USA oil companies get at it and distribute it? Funny how i mark that as one of the largest subsidies. Taking over a forgein country to get at huge oil reserves. Funny thing too, oil companies get huge subsidies, the same with American farmers. Not a lot can be said for Alternative energy, the greatest subsidies right now can be found in Cali. (IIRC and then only for housing, a good step, but its not a solar plant.)

  2. Re:I hate the term "green power", article full of on Hydrogen Buses In Iceland · · Score: 1

    It's easy for iceland to claim 70% "green" because geothermal heating is a real option for them. The air is cold, the earth is hot. It doesn't work for most of the rest of the world. There's nothing for me to dig into but cold muck and the chesapeake watershed. Think again jackass. It was a concious choice to use that source of energy, i will put money down on hard work. by your logic: It is easy for USA to have 70% green power, cover the deserts in fields of solar panels/fill the skys with windmills, use geothermal power. Everyone in the USA is complaining, and not doing enought doing.

    nVidia and EA were hosting demos of the modern combat shooter.

    pffft. ya... Circa 1995. EA ate up everything and nothing has changed. All the FPS are the same.

    Quick Guys to the bank! The GPS shows all the cops are at Starbucks! We can make it before they finish their Latte Grande frappe Mocha Tall Stack of Coffe cakes!

  5. WTF on No Warrant Needed For GPS Tracking By Police · · Score: 1

    did the police just slap down a gps unit onto his car? this is called illegal bugging i would presume? now to read TFA

  6. Re:The lawsuit on Think Secret's Nick dePlume Revealed · · Score: 1

    TFA says that he accepted anonmyous tips, and would pay for prime information. Here is my question... Could not have this kid, in making his website, make it so that people who submitted tips were exempt from the logs? Or could he simply have them set up to delete every week to "save" space (the site IS so popular) ??? Or am i just dreaming, and all sites keep all their logs till infinity?

  7. Re:Patents are recipes in the chemical industry on EU Parliament Demands Fresh Start for Patent Directive · · Score: 1

    Each reaction can be patented individually so that only the holder of that patent can use it. eg. It's not like Vioxx after discovering (it didnt but bear with me) painkillers, patented painkillers. In reality, they patented a process of reactions to make one specific painkiller. Other companies could create painkillers, but not the specific one that 'Vioxx' made. What some of these companies suggest is similar to patenting the (using more chemical references) process of making an alkane into a halide. Who would seriously look at that patent and let it through. Well that is what has happened with patents. Same should go for software, one cannot patent "Operating system", or other such things, because the general field allows alternates to be created.

  8. Re:Oh the irony on New DRM Scheme To Make Current DVD Players Obsolete · · Score: 1

    "The danger is they may not lose this time." People have always been about more and more. This is simply another logical progression along the road. Theh old industry is a fragile crystal, the hot waters of the present will shatter it eventually. It is not often that a society slips backwards. In this day and age, having many societies allows for a populus movement. If you cannot stand it, move.

  9. Re:Okay, how is the evolution of communication new on Last Manufacturer of Pro Analog Audio Tape Closes · · Score: 1

    as opposed to the fact that they lost their jobs due to the totally unexpected decline in the use of reel tape. Unexpected? If you mean like how Bennifer unexpectly split up into their component parts..... Idiot, the digital age has swamped the analog tech.
