"the Government would declare Martial Law and send in the troops."
5 million American soldiers versus potentially 150 million armed civilians?
Yea, you go ahead and send in the troops we'll slaughter them without much problem. There's not ONE single ground solider in the US Military consistently worth 30 kills in any combat engagement except snipers, and they won't stand much of a chance once their first shot goes off and everybody starts lobbing lead his way.
No. It's Time Warner and Comcast, which for all intents and purposes are pretty much the same operator when they decided to split their networks nearly down the middle.
"Seriously, corporations that size have nothing to fear."
Bloodthirsty Eco-terrorists that will now see this as a justification for their acts of violence against the oil companies, and thus the acts escalate.
"Governments exist to create and maintain standards."
No, scientific standards boards exist to create standards. Government exists to enforce law (in theory) and to provide care for its citizenry (in theory.)
Why not do it? It's not like they're already stuffing enough garbage into our mailboxes. Perhaps it's time we flooded them back with the same kind of garbage so they'll get the fucking hint and put MAIL in my mailbox instead of fucking SPAM.
"Show me the reference where algae-based biodiesel plants will produce cheaper per-mile fuel than oil."
If you can't do the math in your head alone, just be quiet.
We don't have to drill for algae. Algae is almost impossible to NOT produce when water is exposed to light, and we can just use the sunny open desert to produce the fuel. Seawater is absolutely abundant and will work perfectly.
The cost alone for production is far cheaper. Refining algae fuels takes nowhere near the amount of energy as it takes to refine crude into the varied useful products. The infrastructure for production is much cheaper, as well, as you're basically just making vegetable oil to use for fuel.
Someone hasn't ever done any research on this, I see.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to making LED panels SPECIFICALLY FOR algae-based biofuel production.
"In my experience the only way to reach such high usage levels is by seeding torrents 24/7, and then you will reach it on your upload - not download."
You just don't have the right application. I have Camfrog, I can have 100 webcams open at a time, and depending upon the room settings,bandwidth usage can get pretty heavy if the room is broadcasting using recommended or super mode.
And I'm on it all the time. I've already had Time Warner call me and ask WTF I was doing.
Really, your uneducated response is appalling. Ever hear of eye stress? Eye fatigue? That's what I get trying to use an iPad. Fuck that, I'd rather stick with my actual laptop. Zero effect, my ass.
Try reading that at high noon outside, tell me you don't strain your eyes from squinting so damn much with that glossy screen reflecting the sun straight back into your eyes..
Anybody that modded this person insightful are fools as well.

Why, they're in a fucking car already! They're armored!

"With the downloaded ads, however, you requested to download those things to your phone."
I instructed my browser to load a site - not everything else NOT RELATED TO THAT SITE.
And most ads are not hosted directly on the site's servers, either.
RFC be damned, as they've been IGNORED for quite some time.
"In fact come to think of it, you are REQUIRED to download anything above a certain size (200MB I believe) on a WiFi network."
Dead wrong. I've had NOT ONE LIMITATION on filesize sent over 3G, from youtube to vimeo.
"More Slashdot "wisdom" from someone who doesn't know how what they are commenting on works."
Pot, meet kettle.
No. It's Time Warner and Comcast, which for all intents and purposes are pretty much the same operator when they decided to split their networks nearly down the middle.
"Do you realize how much money research and development costs?"
If you actually know what the fuck you're doing, very little, surprisingly.
Just speaking as a researcher and product developer.
"Is the problem with the table saw, or my sack?"
Your sack, obviously. Multiple thousands of RPMs and a fairly heavy rotary saw blade just shredded them, while it's perfectly intact.
Riding with traffic didn't help me a damned bit. Hell I saw it all coming and I couldn't avoid it in time.
We remove some of the ethical concerns that go with stem cell research. This should go a long way in advancing medical science.
"Seriously, corporations that size have nothing to fear."
Bloodthirsty Eco-terrorists that will now see this as a justification for their acts of violence against the oil companies, and thus the acts escalate.

No, scientific standards boards exist to create standards. Government exists to enforce law (in theory) and to provide care for its citizenry (in theory.)
"However, price has dropped 30Cents/gallon here in the last 2 weeks or so."
Where's 'here?' because the price of gas in California hasn't dropped a damned dime that I've seen. I hit the gas pump every other day.

"P.S: Do we have to remind people that this shit work only on M$ platform?"
iFrame malware isn't *JUST* a Windows issue. Think harder next time.
Differential backups would have plenty of read/writes.
Let me explain how:
Small claims court - ALMOST UNIVERSALLY WILL NO LAWYERS BE ALLOWED IN ONE IN THE USA.
"These companies will have attorneys and those attorneys will use the rules of civil procedure to take advantage of your lack of knowledge"
So much for that person being a legal expert. No wonder they're not named, as they'd be found and likely disciplined by the real bar.

NiMH is bullshit. Ni-Zn is what you want.
"Electricity is NOT oil powered."
Dead wrong. I can take you through two power plants in Memphis (non-TVA) that run off of refined oil products.
"Nope, I think 250 GB is just fine for today's internet, thank you very much."
LOL. Run Camfrog and try saying that again with a straight face, especially if you're a pro user.
"In my experience the only way to reach such high usage levels is by seeding torrents 24/7, and then you will reach it on your upload - not download."

I can destroy that 250GB limit in a heartbeat using my preferred video chat program. 100 cameras open at once? Yea, fuck the 250GB cap.

"Why should light ever reach the platters of this drive in an archival situation?"
Well, considering the title of the story is "Titanium Oxide for High-Density *OPTICAL* Storage," I'd assume it would be exposed to light quite often.
Not when I'm working on a NASA Life Sciences contract, they're not.
