  1. Re:Then why is overuse 5x as expensive as in-band on Former FCC Boss: Data Caps Not About Network Congestion · · Score: 1

    I have the t-mobile throttling plan on my Tab 10.1 it is horrible. 5GB cap which I usually hit around a week before my turnover. The final week it is throttled to 120k. If the throttling was to half speed or even 1/3 speed it'd be fine. 120k is absurd though. Replied to wrong post before :(

    More interesting is to look at the tech they are demoing. EQemote which can match your facial movements to your characters. Combine with voice chat expectations. I believe our chars will be talking with our voices. LARP the MMO

    Ha! Elder Scrolls online only has the potential to fall and fall hard, just like Pathfinder Online. Everquest Next is going to crush everything in its way. It also wont be out until late 2014 at the earliest though.

  8. Re:Plenty of time on Odds Favor Discovery of Earth-Like Exoplanet in 2013 · · Score: 1

    The human species and what most people refer to as civilization are very different things. This is semantics though.

  9. Plenty of time on Odds Favor Discovery of Earth-Like Exoplanet in 2013 · · Score: 1

    Human civilization is only a few thousand years old, and we have a few million to sort stuff out (barring any major disasters). We may never need warp drive to explore the universe, developing generation ships or becoming immortal cyborgs so the travel time is not an issue.

  10. Re:Better / Faster / Cheaper: Pick Two on Lockheed, SpaceX Trade Barbs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I do not see anything wrong with having a higher failure rate on unmanned missions if the cost is enough thet you need to fail four times before the cost matches the rocket with a lower fail rate.

    We can have separate standards for manned vs unmanned.

  14. Re:Petitions for Secession: Fools' errand on With Pot Legal, Scientists Study Detection of Impaired Drivers · · Score: 1

    The petitions have done well to bring the topic up amongst the masses. Obviously alone they could do nothing but getting the idea attention is incredibly important. My own contribution to a separatist movement (and I have identified as separatist for the last six years or so after becoming a homeowner and a member of the working poor) is to run for my state assembly in 2013. I do not expect it to be a quick or easy task, and ensuring the strength and self sufficiency of my home state (NJ) needs to come before secession can ever be seriously considered.

  15. Re:Easy on With Pot Legal, Scientists Study Detection of Impaired Drivers · · Score: 1

    Just because something is hard to do doesnt mean it should not be done or is not the right thing to do.

    Regardless, I dont see the US gov forcing the issue militarily in this day and age. The most challenging part is going to be getting the state governments behind it. Few of them care about their state, only their own career.

  16. Re:Easy on With Pot Legal, Scientists Study Detection of Impaired Drivers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And this is why we should be signing secession petitions. Not because one of the twin candidates lost, but because the Federal government long ago began overreaching.

    It also doesn't include decentralization vs centralization (at least not the middle link). Some of us may believe local politics should be more important than national.

  21. Re:How about black-to-white racism? on Geomapping Racism With Twitter · · Score: 1

    In the whole country over 95% of the pruson population is poor people. Crime is driven by economic status not skin color. Why black people are poor is because social mobility is practically non-existant. They just got stuck starting lower than everyon else thanks to malaria driving a need for cheap and malaria-resistant labor in the warm and marshy parts of the americans five hundred years ago.
