Comment Re:More Alcohol and Less Drinking? (Score 1) 297

I drink beer so much I should have stock in it. I like higher ABV because it lasts me longer. The right beer for the right purpose....for example: if I'm drinking all day Dead Guy Ale or Guinnes might work. If its 8 PM and I'm going to bed in a few hours: it should probably be a barley-wine. Also, higher ABV typically means I drink less of them which means I intake less calories.

Google at one point funded the company Fon to provide wifi access "to the world".....I even got a free router out of the deal. To abide by their policies, I had to provide an open channel to be used by any other Fon user, and the location of my hotspot was broadcast on their website as were all other users of the service.

Submission + - Hydro-Fracturing Documentary Stirring Up Fears (gaslandthemovie.com)

adeft writes: I recently caught word that the process of Hydraulic-Fracturing will be taking place where I grew up. The process is for the purpose of harvesting a natural gas reserve through drilling into underground shale. A recent documentary has been created to show the dangers involved with this process and shown around the areas affected. Basically the risks involved are water table contamination causing lesions, cancer, and flammable water (see the documentary trailer). I'm personally a little worried for family and friends' health, what is Slashdot's opinion?

Car analogy: Every car comes from the factory tuned in a conservative manner regarding air/fuel mixture, spark advance.....even torque management and shift pressures/points (in the case of automatics) You are able to change these values for a greater increase in performance or fuel economy. This change (when pushed to the limit or performed incorrectly) can be risky and put extra strain on components of your vehicle.

Yeah because she doesnt drive a cadillac, eat at nice restaurants or fund the local paper and cable companies for their content. She actually does all the above. You could argue one person does not make a revenue stream, but a collection of people do.
