  1. Re:Don't need to confiscate. on Jerry Brown Confiscates 48,000 Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    Since we're talking about California, what "most states" do is not relevant. The majority of 2-way traffic in this state is unencrypted, since there hasn't been a lot of money available to upgrade equipment which works perfectly well as-is.

  2. Re:Rdio works on Copyright License Fees Drive Pandora Out of Canada · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Rdio is pretty cool. And it's amazingly similar to Pandora's price. I would miss Pandora's playlist recommendation algorithm though.

    Urm, $3/mo. Still, the point holds.

    And what the AC forgets to point out is that you can opt out of the ads at a VERY reasonable rate if you don't like 'em. $2/mo is a fantastic price for the service they provide, and since I like the product, I'm happy to pay for it. In units the rest of you can understand, that's just over 2 months of WoW in exchange for an entire year of service. Great deal!

  5. Re:No! Not this, please! on Is DIY Algae Farming the Future? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Methanol is produced as a byproduct of most fermentation. It's present (in small parts) in commercial alcohols, more-so in commercial distilates, particularly the bottom-shelf-plastic-bottle ones. It's HARD to get enough methanol in a straight fermentation to be anything like harmful. It's tricky to produce anything that even hard-core drinkers will consume that has a dangerous quantity of methanol if you're distilling. It's better for us to consume less of it, but without deliberately doing so, quantities are unlikely to be harmful, whatever the FUDers on the mailing lists may say. Mostly the OP was FUDing about people poisoning themselves with brewing, which is extremely difficult.

    Fucking uninformed. The reason you haven't heard of the IRA lately is because of a very long and very hard peace process.
