Comment Inevitable (Score 1) 455

It's time for the "Big E" to go. As a former carrier sailor I can attest to this. Lately this ship has been spending spends just as much time or possible more in the yard after every cruise. The time in the yard has been incrementally longer and longer as it's gotten older. As much of a rustbucket as the Enterprise was it was a lot more dependable than the Kitty Hawk and the JFK (thankfully both decommissioned).

Comment Not just redheads (Score 1) 265

There has been some discussion that fair skinned people in general suffer from this phenomenon. I say suffer because while having a high pain tolerance might be cool it makes it a lot harder to anesthetize people like this. This is double so for fair skinned redheads (which many are). I've seen this personally as I am fair skinned. I don't have the increased pain tolerance or the red hair but I am harder to anesthetize, locals have been difficult because I typically need more than normal sometimes. What the researchers should do next is look into the instance for people who have supposedly "woke up" during surgery being paralyzed yet still feeling the intense pain of surgery in progress.

Sadly, PC gaming is on it's deathbed. Even if this were implemented it would still not save the PC as a platform. The hardware specs do look good but I also don't see them putting together a console from these parts that has all of the stability you would expect from a console. Finally, we already have Xbox Live. How do you compete with that? When it comes to web presence Microsoft nailed it and everyone else has been playing catchup ever since.

Comment Ghost of the Ev1 (Score 1) 599

There is a documentary out there about the EV1 the last attempt at an electric car. Its sad the way it ended. The vehicles were all leased and one day GM collected all of them and destroyed all but one that was put in a museum with it's engine de-activated. There were a lot of people, many celebrities that loved this car. Many were angry after it's passing. The question is what is wrong with the Volt? The Volt is leaps ahead of the EV1 in every way. I personally think it's the lack of charging stations. If there were as many charging stations as gas stations it would be a different story.
