  1. And all due to AGW on Bizarre Hexagon On Saturn May Be 180 Miles Tall (space.com) · · Score: 0

    This funny hexagon can be only the result of one thing: global warming as a result of human CO2 production. Case closed.

  2. Re:And still on No Healthy Level of Alcohol Consumption, Says Major Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The two friends of mine who killed themselves due to marijuana-related psychosis would beg to differ with you.

  3. Re:Makes perfect sense. Still free speech on Tanzania Orders All Unregistered Bloggers To Take Down Their Sites (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Not enough, clearly...

  4. Re:Why do Black People sing Rolling on the River? on Microsoft Addresses Pressure From Developer Community, Promises To Rename GVFS · · Score: 1

    Reasonable troll I guess (as I'm replying to it), but the song you're thinking of is actually called 'Proud Mary' written by a white guy for the (excellent) band Creedence Clearwater Revival.

  5. So how powerful is it? on The Next Falcon Heavy Will Carry the Most Powerful Atomic Clock Ever Launched (space.com) · · Score: 1

    Neither the summary nor the title give any indication how much power this clock dissipates. 10kW? 100kW? How does this compare to previous atomic clocks? How will it be powered? These are questions we need answers to!

  6. If you don't get the minutest details correct then how can one trust the rest of your arguments? :P

  7. It was available for 3 years in the late 70s. There was no 90's Fiesta in the USA.

  8. Yes, the first version sold for three years from 1978 to 1980. It was never sold in the 90s, and only made a reappearance in 2010.

  9. The Ford Fiesta wasn't sold in the USA until 2010 or so...

  10. After all, what Intel giveth Microsoft taketh away...

  11. An open source alternative to on Yes, Your Amazon Echo Is an Ad Machine (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Amazon Echo, Siri, Google, etc. is Mycroft. I'm not sure if it's quite mature yet, but they are making leaps and bounds: https://mycroft.ai/

  12. This discussion will... on Donald Trump Is Sworn In As the 45th US President (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    ...be full of well balanced debate, thoughtful insights, and courteous discourse.
    Dang it, now where did I put my prescription?

    Please don't say APK or that shitfuck hosts guy will turn up here pimping his malware...

  14. Submitter can't read a bloody graph... on How Well Do Our Climate Models Match Our Observations? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Where does the 0.7C warming since 1980 figure come from exactly? I make it roughly 0.7F (note: FAHRENHEIT) from 1980 until the last point in 2012. That's an anomaly of around 0.4C, which seems to tie in with the graph on the R Spencer page.

  15. Vladimir Putin = Alpha on Russia Bans Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    Betas all get banned in Mother Russia

  16. Re:America-centric much? on Grocery Delivery Lowers Carbon Dioxide Emissions Over Individual Trips · · Score: 2

    I ride my bike to pick up my groceries like most sane people.

    That's great for you; single-person-urbanite-centric much? ;)

    I used to do the same when I was a student and lived relatively close to the supermarkets. A few years down the line, I/we shop for three people once a week. That can be a good forty kilos depending on what we buy.

    A little more on topic - and perhaps more importantly, these grocery deliveries also save *time* - life's most important resource.

  17. Re:Well.. on Privacy Groups Attack UK ISPs 'Collusion' With Government Snooping · · Score: 5, Informative

    Citation needed. "They" is a bit non-specific.

  18. Re:Good riddance on Margaret Thatcher Dies At 87 · · Score: 5, Informative

    The unions killed manufacturing (as it was then). Thatcher killed the unions. The value of UK manufacturing increased since Thatcher was in power: http://tutor2u.net/economics/content/essentials/manufacturing_industry_in_uk_clip_image002_0000.gif

  19. Re:"Didn't drilling regulations...?" No. on Oil Dispersants Used During Gulf Spill Degrade Slowly In Cold Water · · Score: 1

    No, "natural seepage" will not cause millions of gallons of gas to drift out into the ocean every year,

    Natural seepage in the gulf of mexico is about 140,000 tonnes a year, or 1 million barrels of oil. So, yes it does. Ok, it's only a fifth of the amount from the deepwater spill, but it's constant rather than one-off. Link: http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=10388&page=70

    At the time of the spill, the liability was limited to 75 million bucks. That's definitely one regulation which increases risk taking!

    Is someone paying you to post this?

    Nope, you can remove you tinfoil hat now

  20. Re:Or, we could have just done nothing... on Oil Dispersants Used During Gulf Spill Degrade Slowly In Cold Water · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it drilling regulations that pushed drilling further and further offshore to much deeper (and risky) areas?

    Anyway, there's vastly more oil migrating into the ocean from natural seepage than from the odd oil spill, so if you don't want oil in the water perhaps that's a better place to start :p

  22. Re:It is far older then that on Air Quality Apps and Bottled Air Thrive On Beijing's Pollution · · Score: 1

    A lot of libertarians should study these things, it goes to show that mankind needs lots of laws because without laws and enforcement of those laws, shit happens.

    And don't forget a nice well-padded bureaucracy to administer all these laws!

  23. Re:In my country the ISP does this for you! on Free Wi-Fi: the Movement To Give Away Your Internet For the Good of Humanity · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'm with neuf/SFR and noticed that they enable the public hotspot by default. I'm a bit concerned as to how securely the public wifi is segregated from the local network, but otherwise it's a pretty good idea and it means in big cities there's free wifi everywhere :)

  24. Re:Why not pony up for the real deal? on Making Earbuds That Fit (Video) · · Score: 1

    Anything by Beyerdynamic is good IMO. Personally I use some DT-231s which are now about 10 years old and still sounding good. :)
