    funny, of course the norm for humans isn't leaders elected by votes. although leadeers in many systems have and are in the pockets of what we'd today call large corporations

    batteries on all that crap will run out in two weeks

  4. Re:Tracking on Malaysian Flight Disappearance 'Deliberate' · · Score: 2

    not hard to understand at all. such systems have been proposed, read about them. the satellites that will have to be launched, the gear that will be installed. billions of dollars and years of time (e.g. Next Gen)

    harsh reality and what people imagine about capabilities of technology are two very different things

  5. Re:Tracking on Malaysian Flight Disappearance 'Deliberate' · · Score: 1

    bullshit, most anything of value in this world could be destroyed on the cheap (less than 1% of value) by a band of suicidal thugs

    you can get aviation fuel most anywhere, and just use kerosene if you don't care much about long term

    don't need a runway at all, just plough down a field or dig a huge trench in a beach (or near a beach, for that matter)

    I amused people think a plane needs to have a nice landing. chuck yeager didn't think so, "a good landing is one you can walk away from"

  9. Re:Snowden = Traitor on Snowden A Hero? Gates Says No, Woz Says Yes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I seem to recall Russia calling our Homeland protectors and warning us about a particular guy. they didn't have to bother to do that, and it's an extraordinary thing that they did. Our Protectors of Der Fatherland ignored the warning. being busy courting punks and filling their heads with violent thoughts and then fake weapons so they could make headlines. And so the Boston Marathon bombings happened. So, who is the enemy of We the People?

    oh, are we at war with Russia?

    last I checked we were sticking our noses into Crimea situation (majority of populace ethnic Russian) but do tell what constitutes "enemies"

    this has *everything* to do with bitcoin, there are no regulations or laws to ensure quality of code. The dollars in the federal reserve computer network do not have this issue

    this is a bitcoin failure, there are no regulations or insurance to insure held bitcoins are safe or even exist

    bitcoin is not a currency, it is not money, it fails liquidity and other requirements that real money satifies

  17. Re:Why not put them out in schools ? on Stanford Bioengineer Develops a 50-cent Paper Microscope · · Score: 1

    nonsense, as soon as you invoke mass production the fact is extremely cheap real and *properly* shaped convex lenses can be made from glass for a penny a pop, that would exceed by far the abilities of this article's tumbled grit.

    the article and its device make no sense, they're nonsense

    but over or near land generally planes are in constant communication with ground stations anyway, that's why crash sites are very quickly reached

  19. OSS devs lack of communication skills on Replicant OS Developers Find Backdoor In Samsung Galaxy Devices · · Score: 3, Informative

    not even on their website do its developers explain what Replicant is, or what its goals and purpose are

  20. Hey EvidenceBase, did you even read your article? on The $100,000 Device That Could Have Solved Missing Plane Mystery · · Score: 1

    article admits in cases when plane suddenly crashes the system is useless, the black box is only useful source of data

    reality is a system such as Next Gen that would have sufficient satellite coverage and bandwidth will cost billions and take years to implement (including launching satellites). that's the only way the tens of thousands of daily flights could have their data recorded.

    So we'll tell the families of the presumed dead of the Malaysian airlines flights not to listen to technically ignorant assholes like you, the technology to track flights that end in sudden disaster over the open sea just don't exist in 2014.

    no, they get the nuclear fuel from Russia to put in their made-in-Russia reactors. that they mine natural uranium is of no import, they have not the facilities nor expertise to enrich uranium or extract plutonium

    we did in the 70s, we made lenses out of glass rods melted to have bead with "thread" for mounting. and doesn't have the hassle of needing to put industrial grit into a tumbler to make polished spheres like this article's

    I swear, I'm old enough to see shit get re-invented again and again, a little bit worse each iteration
