  1. not primarily for SETI on China's Giant Radio Telescope Begins Searching For Signals From Space (ctvnews.ca) · · Score: 2

    the telescope is primarily for radio astronomy, not SETI

  2. Obama's original birth certificate sadly was lost in the fire, but don't worry we have county records computer in Hawaii full of replacement ones

  3. type of weapon for that job would be firing copper jacketed or steel rounds. Evidence of impact would remain anyway. If perp not interested in dying in a fire the weapon would be non-man portable and LOUD like nothing you've ever likely heard

  4. I'm really interested what rifle you think is going to work at 2+ mile range, unless the sniper wants to die in the fire

  5. more specifically something like an M102 howitzer (105mm AKA 4.1 inch) would have the range, but I'm pretty sure someone would have noticed one of those bad-ass motherfuckers going off, not to mention it wouldn't just make a "breech" in a cooling system on impact HAHAHA

  6. Re:My proposed '$12/year photo storage plan': on Amazon Is Killing Off Its $12/Year Plan For Unlimited Photo Storage (petapixel.com) · · Score: 1

    you can lose all your SD cards and photos in plenty of accidents at home. Large enterprises have redundant data centers. If you encrypt your data it doesn't matter who steals a copy of the cloud files. You spend more on SD cards than I do on "cloud storage"

    Your plan is even more foolish, sd cards can and do fail. Your plan makes no sense.

    Plenty of cloud storage vendors have been in business and working fine for years.

    face it, the only gigantic troll here is you.

  8. Re:With all due respect to Mr. Hawking and us... on Stephen Hawking Wants To Find Aliens Before They Find Us (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    wrong, most of the universe is receding away from us at faster than light speed.

    And drop your religious belief in science, physics is a man-made set of useful models, that we already know don't apply to all situations. We don't know what the laws of nature are. We don't know that making a craft that goes FTL is impossible, in fact our understanding of GR says it IS possible.

    no, not if you drag a bubble of space-time with you. there is no velocity limit in that case either.

  10. Re:What a dumb-ass on Stephen Hawking Wants To Find Aliens Before They Find Us (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    No, he did nothing of the sort. No one has successfully "married general relativity to quantum mechanics", that is beyond present day physics.

    He has applied quantum thermodynamics to certain aspects of a black hole, but that is not the same thing.

  11. Re:x86 is a plus on SolidRun x86 Braswell MicroSoM Runs Linux and Full Windows 10, Destroys Raspberry Pi (betanews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    plenty of tiny form factor x86 computers out there in that price range

    this has nothing to do with the pi market. zero.

  12. Re:It's missing the full picture on Germany Unveils a Hydrogen-Powered Passenger Train (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    nothing like the losses of sending green power to place that rips water apart and then transports/stores hydrogen

    there are better ways to store wind and solar power, and you don't need to "carry" stored energy when you have electric train connected to grid

  13. Re:No valid data on yahoo anyway. on Yahoo Confirms Massive Data Breach, 500 Million Users Impacted [Updated] (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    people who were put in there as a result of deals between yahoo and some large ISP like SBC/AT&T, the customers name, address, phone number are there

  14. one of their "co-branded" ISP deals was with AT&T (bought by SBC), and also "my AT&T" users were put into yahoo mail

  15. Re:Yahoo has users? on Yahoo Confirms Massive Data Breach, 500 Million Users Impacted [Updated] (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    There are 150 kilocalories in a 1` oz snack bag of cheetos, that's enough to run a 16W flourescent bulb for 12 hours!

    oh I thought the summary said it would cost me an extra $1.2 billion a year. I was brokering a deal with the local nuke plant for dedicated use of their 2nd reactor and genset. What a relief

  19. you don't take them to vets for checkup, dental and immunization? My friends that have horses do that here, that $250 a month covers everything

  20. Sadly the horses don't pay you to shovel their manure

    No they haven't. This is an extremely inefficient use of "green" power, alternative storage methods would be superior to hydrogen
