  1. Re:Energy budget? on Carbon Capture System Turns CO2 Into Electricity and Hydrogen Fuel (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    So yes, it works by consuming sodium metal. I am underwhelmed.

    I'm slightly whelmed. Perhaps this could be a solution to soil salinity, or even desalination of sea water. We'd end up with a lot of chlorine, but i'm sure some enterprising person will find a way to monetize that; perhaps Milo Minderbinder could spray it on his cotton and convince people to eat it.

  2. Just curious here... do you own them all?

    What happened to all the people who claimed the world was going to end in 2012?

    Oh, that's right. They were all wrong, and they all shut their car-holes.

    A new dance might have come in handy if CCP had ever implemented "Walking in Station / Incarna", in Eve:Online. A player could set their avatar up on a stage in a bar and do exotic dancing for spare change.

  5. Re:wind turbine locations on How Orkney Leads the Way For Sustainable Energy (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Isn't Florida known for hurricanes?

    Isn't Kansas known for tornadoes?

    Isn't Washington known for hot air?

    If everyone harvested the wind and the waves, there'd be no wind and waves. This solution simply does not scale.

    Are you perhaps related to the guy back in the day who said cars can't travel faster than fifteen miles per hour because all of the air in the cab would be sucked out the back?

    As for changing the weather patterns, think about this next time a hurricane is blowing people into the sky.

  7. Re:eyePhone on Elon Musk Wants To Put An AI Hardware Chip In Your Skull (itmunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Digital sphincter control could be a big thing, particularly for the incontinent, or for gamers who don't want to take the time to void their bowels. There might even be an option to direct audio files to it, in order to modulate your farts. That could be used as a kind of biological ring-tone.

    So Nils Hellstrom was exaggerating?

    Can you point to an unbroken instance of Gemcraft:Chasing Shadows that DOESN'T use flash?

    I don't need this shit! When I see a company using that shit, I avoid it. When a business I use requires I use it then there is some very expensive tech support calls from me. And why use it?!

    i guess i can delete my collection of.. holy shit, i have four and a half gigabytes of shockwave flash games?

    admittedly, some of them don't run anymore - for example, the ones that end in .dcr...

  11. Re:If I interviewed at Riot on Riot Games Issues New Company Values In Wake of 'Bro' Culture Accusations (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    A manifesto is something that should be reserved for conceptual artists, philosophers, and poets.

  12. I buy a game to have to fun. I want to get away from my boring life and get some excitement. Being forced at gunpoint to agree to a hypocritical cancerous political agenda where people can be openly discriminated against, censored, attacked, fired or treated differently because a deranged political cult called SJW likes to ruin the lives or random people who didn't do anything is just EVIL.

    Pretty sure the manifesto is for the company's coders, not for the boys who play the game.

  13. Re:Microsoft has been insufficiently managed, also on Windows 7 Enters Its Final Year of Free Support (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    ERROR in my parent comment above: I'm tired. I need to take a nap. There are many ways in which Microsoft is insufficiently managed, also.

    Do you mean inefficiently? Or do you mean they need more management? You really should take that nap right about now.

  14. Re:Maybe the year of Linux on the desktop on Windows 7 Enters Its Final Year of Free Support (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Currently we're erring towards Linux...

    Is that the right verb?

  15. Re:Declination is not news on Earth's Magnetic Field Is Acting Up and Geologists Don't Know Why (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    Those satellites have some radiation hardening to survive the occasional solar flare, but probably would not survive something this intense for too long.

    I'm less concerned about the satellites surviving; a little more concerned about life on the surface.

  17. Re:Cancer? What do they have to lose? on Procter and Gamble Unveils New Device That Aims To Remove Signs of Aging (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Because billboards and blimps cause cancer.

  18. Today's style is pretty much flat monocolor. many women even hid their freckles (a mortal sin).

    Someone will hack this thing and use it to, first, apply freckles - as many as you want. The Trill look could be a big thing. Next, they'll use it to apply patterns. Nazca lines. Circuitry. Hell, mix in some metallic powder and they could paint actual circuit traces on their fizzogs (That's a British colloquialism for "face, btw, and probably not what you thought).

    I still want to know if it washes off, or if you can use it like a 3D printer to slowly change your facial geometry and avoid the attention of security cameras.

    Does it wash off, or will it make their heads get progressively bigger over time?

  21. It's pure assumption despite your single cherry picked example, egotist moron who thinks it's easier to land in Melbourne Australia than on Mars, lol.

    Say that after you visit Moorabbin Airfield, boofhead.

  22. This is just stage 1: on London's Heathrow Airport Halts Departures Over Drone Sighting (cnbc.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Stage 2 involves deploying drones that somewhat resemble pigeons.

    Stage 3 is where the relevant authorities discover they can't tell the drones from the pigeons, and all air traffic is halted, permanently. The pigeons win.

  23. They might have more luck if Bixby fronted a cute anime avatar who would pop up and give you a sad look and say "I'm lonely. Won't you install me?"

  24. Sorry, no HALs in stock. We can offer you a HARLIE or an IAM.

    Funny how nobody ever wants the second one.
