Why do people get all worked up over stupidity like this? Home Depot blew it, but at the end of the day, the credit card company and Home Depot are the ones who are on the hook for any fraudulent charges, not the consumer.
The entire point of this is that crowd-sourcing is 'hacking' and allows competitors to destroy a business. How would the exact same thing prevent the problem?
Is it just me or does pretty much every story on here turn into America bashing lately? Seriously its getting old. Yeah there are problems, just like every single country. We don't need to turn every article into exaggerating that its the worst country in the world.
This argument makes zero sense, you have no idea the chances of life arising, it COULD be 50 orders of magnitudes smaller than the number of planets. We've made some remarkable discoveries about the universe but really the reality is we don't know jack about most of its mysteries despite what anyone will tell you.
A computer has no moving parts except the fans and hdd, so its a terrible analogy. And the hdd is the most likely to fail it wouldn't be a horrible idea to replace it if you have an idea things might start to go south. Also so if I an average computer lasts 3 years, an average car will last 126 years?
Nuclear is costing a fortune in legacy costs safeguarding the waste, and its only getting worse as more and more is generated. We should invest in deep drilling techniques for geothermal and put $$$$$$$$$$ into fusion research.
The problem with saying "oh that was an old design, things are safe now", is that if you amortize the plants over a smaller lifespan, the cost skyrockets to even more than it is now (already the most expensive method of generation, and that doesn't even include legacy/cleanup costs). Guarentee when those "old" plants were originally proposed, the funding was looked at over a 40+ year lifespan. You can't expect to just rebuild the plants every 20 years because better designs have come along.
Exactly, the more different things you have experience with the better off you are. I wish I could completely switch it up at my current job and learn more and be paid for it
Oil is not really running out, reserves to production ratio has been constant at around 40 for the past two decades. http://chartsbin.com/view/t3t . Additionally North American unconventional sources (shale, tar), are estimated to be greater than the entire world-wide reserves.

Why wouldn't it be feasible to just use electrolysis from a nuclear plant to split water? Carbon free, and transportable.

Apparently smart enough to have 90% of the world's leading software companies.
Pawn Stars is a great show on History
Really? U.S net oil exporter for first time since 1949. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-29/u-s-was-net-oil-product-exporter-in-2011.html

Natural Gas is the cleanest fossil fuel bar far with the lowest emissions.

"Screw" them out of two cents lol. Name one thing you can buy for two cents.

Exactly, sounds like someone with a chip on their shoulder because they didn't have the persistence necessary to follow through with a degree.
