  1. Re:It's funny how stupid they are on Greenpeace Breaks Into French Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    if we ever manage to make next-gen plants, nuclear waste will keep giving - it'll be used as fuel until the scary atoms are all stable and boring and reduced in volume by orders of magnitude. then there'll be no more high-level waste anymore, and rainbows would abound.

    i think there's a bunch of regulatory traps that don't favour new designs... they need "proven safe", which means G1 or G2

  3. Corporate Freedom Fighters? on Syria Bans iPhone, Protest App · · Score: 1

    given that big companies have so much influence over US (and indeed western) politics, i wonder how long until Apple brings this to the courts - perhaps the powers that be in Syria have links to other phone manufacturers?

    i'd laugh if Apple sued Syria('s government) into nonexistence over banning the iPhone... money talks louder than protesters.

  4. Re:Serious policy changes here ? on AMD Downgrades Bulldozer Transistor Count By 800 Million · · Score: 4, Insightful

    what about examples from outside the USA? BP stands for British Petroleum, don't you know?

    some of the food scares going on in China are just scary - melamine in milk, cooking oil salvaged and re-refined from retail liquid waste... of course, people got the death penalty for the milk thing.

    it's about being able to play angry birds on a laptop, not about being able to play commander keen on a phone.

    ooh, i like that idea. intentionally cause multiple bank runs. it'd be like the great depression all over again.

    the threat is likely enough.

  10. Re:Pu238 not for bombs on Will NASA Ever Recover Apollo 13's Plutonium From the Ocean · · Score: 1

    damn good point. i wonder why this hasn't happened yet?

  11. Re:terrorist may want it on Will NASA Ever Recover Apollo 13's Plutonium From the Ocean · · Score: 1

    yes, we need to post the GPS coords and a bogus schematic for a dirty bomb on trrrst websites, then watch them all drown themselves.

  12. Re:Why would they? on Will NASA Ever Recover Apollo 13's Plutonium From the Ocean · · Score: 1

    none of your issue with his post actually weakens the point though. the point is there are most certainly things that are more toxic than plutonium, including things that millions of people voluntarily ingest every day.

  13. Re:I kinda hope not. on Next Apple iPhone To Have a 4 Inch Display? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    that's interesting because there's a bit of truth in it.

    it could be argued that Apple can't refine it's interfaces beyond a certain point because users adapt to Apple while Apple adapts to it's users.

    perhaps we need competing products so Apple can watch people's complaints about their competitor's interfaces in order to get some fresh ideas for their own, because feedback about their own devices would be tainted by sycophant users who say "doubleplusgood" to everything they buy.

    don't let it go to waste then, you need to tap that ass!

  15. Re:Don't force us to use the phone in the first pl on System Recognizes Emotions In People's Voices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    yes, because all official websites are well designed, and provide many options outside the normal list that can tailor to the needs of every single user.

    sometimes a second brain is needed in a transaction.

  16. Re:Anti-Trust on MS To Build Antivirus Into Win8: Boon Or Monopoly? · · Score: 1

    how the hell do you know how many unpatched holes are in either OS, given that if you'd read the source and identified holes, then not submitted a patch, it'd make you an arsehole. if you had the windows source, i'd be impressed.

  17. Re:end of the driver, end of the auto industry on Toyota To Let People Ride In Self-Driving Prius · · Score: 1

    that's a fucking cool idea.

    better than a goon that drives off GPS to the point they mount the curb and head into oncoming traffic because the right turn looked different on the map than it did in real life.

    yes, that's happened to me. mr driverface did not get paid.
