  1. Is devlove really the correct word for this? on Fixing the Final Steps In the Recycling Chain · · Score: 1

    I'm asking not telling since my english is crap (first and only language btw). Anyway it sounds rubbish to me, the devolvers are having trouble devloving this stuff, we need a better way to devolve things!!

  2. Re:Mark or analyse? on Fixing the Final Steps In the Recycling Chain · · Score: 1

    I doubt it's practical but WIBNI you could just burn everything and process the oxides left over.

  3. Re:So climate science is politics? on Of Diamond Planets, Climate Change, and the Scientific Method · · Score: 1

    Debate on climate change rarely interests me anymore as it’s always the same tune repeated over and over again. My feeling on the subject is that it will turn out to be a self balancing equation with lots of dead people on one side, but I’m no scientist. Anyway, I did RTFA, and I was disappointed to discover that it was just some guy whining. I might at least have gotten a laugh if he’d bothered to gather statistics on levels of negative versus positive responses to the various categories of scientific papers published, but of course he didn’t.

    If I mentioned that funding for scientific research often involves politics would that make me a member of a barbarian horde? It's unclear to me, is that because my head is up my butt?

  6. Re:Posted Anonymously on YouTube Disables Comments and User Uploads For Korean Users · · Score: 0

    AC posts are only good for one off comments, it's impossible to argue a point with a ghost, so replying to one is pointless (sigh)

  7. Re:Battery vrs capacitor on Polymer Gel Shows Promise For Smaller, Cheaper Batteries · · Score: 1

    From what I understand, all the promises of capacity with those things were fairy tales, all they really offer is power and rapid charge rates.

    So lack of graphics support is a feature?

    Just lock the bathroom door if you're paranoid about being interrupted.

  10. Re:No standard so useless on What's the Carbon Footprint of Bicycling? · · Score: 1

    I'm Irish and living in Dublin, not up some hill in America. Nothing in your post alters any of my original post. There isn't any one solution for all people. Driving suits you and cycling suits me.

  11. Re:No standard so useless on What's the Carbon Footprint of Bicycling? · · Score: 1

    You seem to be trolling but anyway. Not everyone lives in the same awful sounding place as you do.
    While I'm having my shower I suspect others are not sitting in a dark room saving carbon credits.
    Airlifting? do you really think that a helicopter is going to just land right there in the busy road to pick up my broken remains?
    A road is busy typically because of all the cars not the bicycles, I also hate having to overtake slow cyclists though.
    For many commuters the bike is the fastest means of transport. It's about 30 mins cycling for me (~10km) versus 40+ for public transport (this includes travel to and from the bus/ tram stops), I don't own a car but with parking etc I figure it would be at least 30 mins for that too.

  12. Re:What robots are you using? on Iron Man-like Exoskeleton Nears Production · · Score: 1

    That's more or less the plot in Terry Pratchett's book "Feet of Clay"

    Every atom in out body was probably excreted by other creatures at some stage or another. I still wouldn't like to drink piss though.

  16. Re:Microsoft Research on Microsoft Wants $15 Per Android Smartphone · · Score: 1

    I know, I mean I could be using all the wasted space for distractions like facebook, twitter, chat applications, stock tickers, other projects (because I'm so awesome at multitasking), the mind boggles. Sarcasm aside, I do actually make good use of a dual monitor setup at work, and tend not to maximise the apps that don't benefit from full screen, but what you’re describing isn’t a problem for most people I suspect.

    He could be referring to the last link. Useful arrangement of atoms sounds about right.

  18. Re:But the Best Buy guy said it does on Retailer Calls Rivals' Bluff On "HDMI Scam" · · Score: 1

    I would imagine the cable was just gold plated. Gold is generally used becasue it doesn't tarnish, but I guess marketing ran with it. Either way I doubt the gold adds much to a digital system.

  20. Re:On the plus side on Winklevoss Twins Finally Give Up Fighting Facebook · · Score: 1

    I'm only guessing of course, but Facebook will probably have and IPO. Some time after that there will be several unlocks of the insider shares and there will probably be several new multi millionares running about.

  21. Re:Impermanence of Sacrifice Bores Me on Review: Green Lantern · · Score: 1

    I despise that movie. Professor X's mind was transfered to a vegetable, a meat one, that wakes up at the end of the movie. Jean Grey was already destroyed and hinted at rebirth in the second movie, are we expected to care if she's dead at the end of the third as well? Cyclops appears to have been disintegrated at the very beginning of the movie, in a very pointless way and no one really missed him or grieved or anything, Wolverine just maybe looked surprised for a second or two. Juggernaut, possibly the most powerful mutant from the cartoon (I never read the comics) bumps his head (dies?) and presumably gets disintegrated with the building he was in. Magneto gets his powers back at the end. The list goes on...

    In the future we'll still be able to see books on TV. It'll all be done with CGI and clever props made out of cardboard and paper.
