    Just buy cheap 3S Lipo packs today instead of waiting 10 years, 30Ah will weight ~3Kg.

  2. Re:About the title... on World of Warcraft Film Shooting Begins Early 2014 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can see it now: A highly regarded WOW player doesn't show up to two consecutive raids and the entire guild leaves their basement to figure out where he disappeared to.

    Alternate title: "The girl with the Dragon Mount."

    Iv already seen that one, its called The Guild.

    It wasnt stripped out of anything. Opera abandoned their own codebase, took Chromium and slapped their own skin over it.
    Opera is no more. Opera today means Chromium skin.

  7. Re:Android? on DARPA Unveils an Android-Based Ground Sensor Device · · Score: 2

    You might programming to the metal would be better for military, but they are targeting upgradability. They want to be able to load same "apps" on different platforms without recompilation.

  8. Re:Content moving to apps more of an impediment on EFF Makes Formal Objection to DRM In HTML5 · · Score: 1

    Are you sure? Last time I watched HBO it had commercials before the movie, just not every 10 minutes during programs.

  9. Re:Not good enough on First Looks At Windows 8.1, Complete With 'Start' Button · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh, you are doing it wrong. You should use new powerful Search function instead, just search for shutdown.exe !

    >So why is it basically impossible to just buy the eposides as they come out?

    But it is, Advertisers pay for the content just as it comes out. Your eyeballs are NOT the main clients of HBO, you are a commodity HBO sells to its real clients.

  11. Re:constitutional rights should be absolute on Judge Orders Child Porn Suspect To Decrypt His Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    (Note: I am not an american citizen and my understanding of the american legal system is therefore limited)

    Constitutional rights in the USA should be absolute

    They are - if you are a Corporation.

    Give me a loan that I will have to start paying back in 20 years.

  17. Re:Consoles aren't profitable? on Console Manufacturers Want the Impossible? · · Score: 1

    That probably wasnt even in this number. 6B was posted around 2010. It was cost of development both consoles, marketing and exclusives(those can cost crazy money).
    Kinect alone cost ~1Billion. M$ bought three companies just to fail at the end and license Primesense in panic mode because they couldnt make anything work.

  18. Re:Let me get this straight... on Console Manufacturers Want the Impossible? · · Score: 1

    Xbox was introduced in 2001. M$ will be lucky to turn a profit on the overall investment in 2019. Nuclear power plants take ~20 years to amortize.
    This is not a long investment, this is an eternity.

  19. Re:Consoles aren't profitable? on Console Manufacturers Want the Impossible? · · Score: 3, Informative

    *blink* *blink* No... I'm pretty sure Sony and Microsoft are making lots of money off licensing, game sales, and content distribution. The point is that the hardware itself doesn't need to be profitable.

    Microsoft spend >6 billion dollars building Xbox brand. They barely started making profit last year? (or maybe in 2011). It will take them ~6 more years to recoup this investment.

    umm they did, Sony got rooted. All it did was give them more ammunition.

    Maybe it would of worked if hackers targeted individuals within corporation. Leak personal details of everyone above VP inside Sony for example? Schedules, bank records, credit ratings, private photos no one was supposed to see, this kind of stuff.

    Are New Yorkers(Americans in general?) so fat that they need a truck to fit in?
    In Europe car like that is considered a minibus and we use them to commute between cities.
    This is as weird as US Honda Civic being bigger than EU Accord.
