    the marketplace doesn't have the goal of saving the planet. look what the market place did during the industrial revolution. look what it is continuing to do. but sure...let the market place decide...code for...fuck the world.

    Individual freedoms and responsibilities don't work when the equation is so screwed up because the gov is footing the bill for the cost of energy (i.e. wars, environmental damage, effects of climate change) and not passing it on to the consumer. Sure, if we were truly paying for the cost of our energy your average "fuck the world..I've got what I need" republican might get the cheaper light...but as that's not the case...I like the idea of mandating it.

    good riddance. we should not be as a nation burning unnecessary (non-renewable) resources just to keep a few hundred people employed in a dead end industry.

    fighting any and all innovation while hating on the gay and poor and giving to the rich...and now they're against energy efficiency? Amazing.

  6. Re:It's a practicality issue on Toyota Abandons Plans For All-Electric Vehicle Rollout · · Score: 1

    I'm interested in PV but I feel like most home owners assoc will not allow you to install these on your home. Do you know if this is true? And if so, is it legal to prevent it? Maybe in 10 or 20 yrs roof material will contain solar cells and generate power for all homes. Seems like it should be possible. Can only hope.

    they're on a collision course for building nuclear powered datacenters.

  9. some will want it. on Iran Blocks Google, Moves Forward With Domestic Network Plans · · Score: 2

    It's not clear that it's not what they wanted. Sure, many in Iran won't want this, but I suspect a good number of people (i.e. the mullas and hard line Islamists) will be more than happy to cut themselves off from the Infidels. Maybe an international islamic internet will emerge from this with Iran being the central hub...where no one insults Muhammed or Islamic governments.

  12. Prize Team? on Nestle's GPS Tracking Candy Campaign · · Score: 1

    They have a Prize Team? They're taking this tracking you down thing very seriously. I'm imagining a van pulling up on the curb and the A-Team jumping out check in hand.

  13. Re:Ermahgerd 1984! on Calif. Man Arrested For ESPN Post On Killing Kids · · Score: 1

    Yes, but I don't think it's a crime when in a sarcastic state. It will be up to the defense now to prove what state he was in when he made the comments. :P

  14. Re:Ermahgerd 1984! on Calif. Man Arrested For ESPN Post On Killing Kids · · Score: 2

    Also have to wonder how much of the post was intended to be satirical or to mock all the other comments that were saying these shoes might end up getting kids killed. I can see how a deeply sarcastic/creative person who is a bit asbergers might write something like this. It's like me saying that I might want to kill some religious people. It's fun to say, fun to provoke, and the world would certainly be better off...but I'm not going to go out and do it because I'm against violence.

  17. great macbook pro option on Are SSDs Finally Worth the Money? · · Score: 1

    best option for Macbook Pro owners is to swap out the DVD drive for an SSD.

    I kept my 500GB HD in my 2010 Macbook Pro and dropped a 256GB ($170) SSD into the connection that my DVD drive used to inhabit (with $12 adapter from Amazon.com).

    OS and all apps go on my SSD. My home directory (movies, music, photos, etc) go on my HD.

  18. Re:Not blocked in Pakistan on Google Blocks 'Innocence of Muslim' Video In Indonesia and India · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking that people should continue to release videos like this on a regular basis to systematically desensitize these nut jobs. These people can't riot for ever...and even if they do...what do we care?

  21. Re:Great Response... on YouTube Refuses To Remove Anti-Islamic Film Clip · · Score: 1

    These people live in such a sheltered world that they can't imagine that anyone on earth could possibly have a different belief than they do about anything. They behave like a young child who hasn't grown up in the world to understand the perspective of others.

    Let these people protest the movie. Crazy people will be crazy people. Just don't have our government apologize for it or have our companies compromise freedom of expression over it.

    In fact, I suggest that people from all over the world make short comedy films about Islam and post them all on youtube. Nothing hateful, just offensive satirical nonsense.
