    This is slashdot. There is no get, especially with "hot ladies". Your argument is invalid.

    I think your post would have been more interesting if you would have included the length of time comparison. How long does the NPP put out 38 Twh per amount of fuel compared to renewable's 7.5?

  7. Why migrate to Turkey? on Germany Produces Record-Breaking 5.1 Terawatt Hours of Solar Energy In One Month · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can't see Turkey putting out more energy than coal or natural gas. Surely it wouldn't be any cheaper, or cleaner, to burn Turkey than what they are using now.

  8. Waste on big bro. on Commercial Drone Industry Heating Up · · Score: 1

    Video cameras can be destroyed with a pen laser. Fly over my house and I guarantee you will be buying a new camera each flight. If one can kill a mosquito with lasers a drone will be child's play.

    And here I thought the web was public airwaves. Maybe the media companies, less a couple telco's, actually do own the web. I sure hope that isn't the case.

  10. 20% time at other jobs on The Decline of '20% Time' at Google · · Score: 1

    In most other jobs 20% time would be better described as, "Use 20% of your time to come up with ways the company can make more money off of you". It is interesting how at Google it takes on a different meaning.

    That is the stone cold truth. Comcast caps and Warner bro's filters. If you don't have a bundle deal that rapes you for the maximum dollar your service starts getting blocked, or dropped, or lagy'er than pr0n server on a 14.4 modem.

  16. Re:Sounds like Acunetix on DEF CON Hackers Unveil a New Way of Visualizing Web Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Very nice. It sounds like you could use it to create a dynamic high risk list that could be added to content filter or intrusion protection device. I'm going to have to take a closer look now. I'll try parsing the data into rules for the IPS. If the database is too large, which I suspect it is, I'll have to find a spamhaus style way of implementing it.

    The front end is nifty but I'm not fond of buzzy names. I don't really need a pretty pretty GUI. I'm more interested in the back end. It'd be nice if there was a link or more info about it.

    You can use 3d acceleration to generate a scene or just draw in 2d. The problem is it would require complete rewrites of the libraries used for 2d widgets.

  23. Re:Why not give them away.... on Microsoft Is Sitting On Six Million Unsold Surface Tablets · · Score: 1

    I think you have made the best point I have seen so far, "told me it would not be able to upgrade to win 8". Any device that is locked to an OS is in danger of becoming obsolete when the OS is updated. Will the device become a harbor of worms and spew forth any information about the user anybody would want in 2 years when Microsoft decides you need to buy Window10 instead of upgrading the only functional operating system the device can run?
