    but they accidentally left "Illuminati" in!

    Most hydrogen comes from steam acting on hydrocarbon fuel, the electricity for making the steam also from burning hydrocarbon fuel. Glad you like to keep big petro in business, Trump is your man

    you don't know, you're talking out of your ass.

    meanwhile, zero evidence of life other than on earth. zero aliens or alien tech or alien craft or microbes found on moon or mars.

    A number of incredibly unique events have happened in earth's history that may not have happened anywhere else. even the distribution of rocky and gaseous planets in our solar system is abnormal

  5. yes yes now tell me about all the studies with provable numbers of birds dying from "climate change" which was my beef

  6. Re:Debian is what really sucks on Linux Mint 18 Will Ship Without Multimedia Support (linuxmint.com) · · Score: -1

    Wrong, Debian takes an enormous amount of twiddling to get a useful desktop. It's always lacked polish. And of course their political process has gone to hell with jumping on the systemd bandwagon because of some non-technical SJW types getting a megaphone

  7. Re:"Habitable Zone" on Are We Alone In the Universe? Not Likely, According To Math (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Some rather unique things happened to earth in its past though; we may well find those are necessary for life to form and so the rest of system might be sterile. Of course, I fully support our exploration to prove that point wrong, and I wish to be wrong

  8. No, there really is no prestige or respect to be conferred from using "affluent", the origin of the word is freely flowing great quantities of water, and it merely means having a great deal of money. Maybe your subconscious adds meaning?

    That's still a future possibility, not a solution that exists in the present other than a chemical with properties of interest. Massive push to farming scrubland to produce biomass would be necessary too.

    don't confuse the idiots who think hydrogen is a fuel source or that batteries are fuel. Don't confuse idiots who don't know where the enegy to make a tesla comes from or where the energy to recharge them comes from (fossil and nuclear, in the USA)

  12. Re:Musk is full of shit on Elon Musk: 'We Need a Revolt Against the Fossil Fuel Industry' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    you have no idea what powers your civilization, do you? And it will take decades of fossil fuel consumption to build the infrastructure for any alternative. electric cars are mostly recharged by burning fossil fuel

    who judges "when telecommuting would suffice?" maybe I mostly ssh into servers but sometimes have to pull cable, or attach to serial port (yes kiddies, big computers unlike your wintel crap still have them for initial startup and special firmware operations as do many network appliances), or hotplug components, etc.

  14. His company produces over priced cars only the affluent can afford, he gets a subsidy for making these rich bastard's toys, it takes environmentally damaging processes to make the batteries alone.....

    You make an assertion with no proof whatsoever

    Sorry but all the life on our earth follows exactly one template that can exist only in narrow range of conditions. All life on earth is carbon based and requires liquid water for biological processes, no exception. There is temperature range too ends at just over 120 degrees C for life, above that it dies.

    Nonsense, the question indeed is if we are the only one. Other models of the drake equation come up with zero possible other sentient life. We could be the result of repeated extremely unlikely accidents that never happened anywhere else.

    nonsense, LibreSSL has avoided many CVE by getting rid of dangerous and bloated code. OpenSSL is indeed the choice of the uninformed and stupid, or those looking to check a government compliance box being not concerned with actual security.

    Glad you asked, the normal shutoff failed at a pump I was using and gasoline started spilling onto the ground, and it was newer pump without the manual shutoff level. Finally saw kill switch for the whole island of pumps....four gallons plus on the ground. Guy running station saw the mess and killed ALL the pumps and fire department came. Fun times.

    You have no idea how the tanker trucks are restricted and designed, do you? The "basic standards" completely prohibit what this company is doing, you can't carry and deliver liquid fuel in *anything* you please, nor to *anywhere* you please, check your state laws your state fire marshal would arrest your ass!
