Comment Bad science, Biases Opinion, and ignoring facts. (Score 1) 1

This guy is ignoring facts. Hamas in the past has had far better success with its rocket attacks before iron dome at killing Israelis. He also incorrectly states that the only intercept that is successful is one that destroys the warhead in the air. As Hamas aims its attacks at highly populated areas, any missile intercept that damages the incoming missile will deflect it a lower populated area and thus reduce casualties.

Submission + - Three-Year Deal Nets Hulu Exclusive Rights to South Park (pcmag.com) 1

gunner_von_diamond writes: From the PC Mag Article:
If you're a fan of South Park, you better be a fan of Hulu as well. Specifically, Hulu Plus.
The creators of the funny, foul-mouthed animated TV show have signed a deal with the online streaming service. Valued at more than $80 million, the three-year deal grants Hulu exclusive rights to stream the 240+ episode back catalog of South Park in addition to all new episodes (as soon as they've aired on Comedy Central). "This is a natural partnership for us. We are excited that the entire library will be available on Hulu and that the best technology around will power South Park Digital Studios," said creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, in a statement.

Submission + - Oregon man given 30 day jail sentence for collecting rain water on his own land (tpnn.com) 2

schwit1 writes: Gary Harrington has battled with the Oregon Water Resources Department over reservoirs on his land that collected rainwater. The water officials claim that Harrington is violating a 1925 law by diverting water from the Big Butte River.

Is this what our government has become? Is this a service to the people?

Comment Your math sucks and is biased! (Score 1) 3

it only costs you $8 a year. You state yourself that the cable modem uses $14.99 a year just sitting there. but when it is under use either by you or someone else it goes up to $22.80. So the most it can cost you extra is $7.81 a year. If it bothers you that much put your cable modem on a wall timer to go off while you sleep or are at work. you will probably save more than the $8 a year to power people sponge off of you.

Comment its too poisonous to use for car fuel (Score 1) 1

"there is no obvious reason why this existing infrastructure cannot be extended so that ammonia not only feeds but powers the planet." How about ammonia being too poisonous to use as fuel in a car? Exposure to gaseous ammonia can result in lung damage and death. Pure ammonia boils at -33 degrees C and once it is diluted to a safe level it isn't suitable for fuel. Yet this person wants the average idiot to put it in their car?

Comment Analog can still beat digital, its not going away. (Score 2) 236

As long as analog can still beat digital, its not going away anytime soon. I have designed pure analog circuits to do control and functional logic in some cases because its cheaper, easier to build, and eliminates a programming step than throwing in a micro controller. You don't see it done much these days because people just don't bother considering it as an option.

If you want to opt out you have to enable accepting ALL FIRST AND ALL THIRD PARTY COOKIES!!!! Why should we have to make ourselves vulnerable to every other tracking network just to opt out of theirs? Why don't they just honor the do not track flag in your browser? I'll tell you why they are going to track you like it or not. If not through their system they will do it through a shell company.
