Hmm, well sometimes you need a little socialism to keep the capitalists in line.

Nice to see cities stepping up to build better network infrastructure
And if we can hold onto Net Neutrality, even better.

And I certainly hope that no one is using them as a "like" button but I very frequently find comments modded up that are a headscratcher.

Let's hope pCell is viable - it's supposed to be LTE compatible

Slashdot has 10 options you can moderate a comment, if you have points.
What sites do you consider "major news sites" - I suspect we may not agree on what those are.

Not at all the same thing. YouTube and most of the news sites I frequent have a thumbs up / down.

Come to think of it, so were Enron, Worldcom & Blackberry.

That's the privilege of being an AC or someone who just doesn't have a nice IDpeen.
Those who can, do and those who can't, lurk.

You've got it backwards. With this low an ID, I get to post whatever I feel like. Otherwise, what's the point?

No.

How fucking hard is that.

Damned bleeding-heart environmentalists screwing up good old traditions!!

I'm not so sure that what they've got is very skimpy - this was revealed at a "Solve for X" talk in Feb 2013 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Lockheed Martin doesn't need a public announcement to get partners; they have more trouble keeping things under wraps and have channels to labs, big corporations and governments that we can scarcely conceive.

Look at that table again - the most significant declines for most categories of crime was between 1992 and 2001. It even more dramatic when you consider the growth in population.
So the cops have to explain why they're now equipped like they're tank battalions.

Did you discuss it with these chaps?

It does take up more land to do this - about 2.5 times as much if you use the Japanese system and crop spacing.
But you're not killing farmland, you're having a fairly minor impact on crop yield if the land is healthy and current FiTs provide a much better income for most farmers than they'll get from crops alone.
