Comment Re:More Fracking' Earthquakes (Score 2) 127

Solar is a choice but as an add on, to reduce the others, not to replace any of them. Solar gives power when it is most needed during the day. It shaves off the peak demand predictably. When it is cloudy during peak AC time, solar produces less but the need for power is also less. Solar could easily be 10% of our power.

Comment Re:Pre Macrovision with 4+ heads (Score 3, Informative) 201

Not always. Heads are used for many things. The first 4 head units were done for better pause action not for better EP mode.

If you are playing back a regular 2 hour mode tape and don't care about the sound almost anything that was good quality will work. If you need good sound and the original was done in HIFI you should make sure the new deck you get is HIFI as well.

My last good VCR was an 8 head unit. 2 for SP, 2 for SLP/EP, 2 for better pause and 2 for HIFI sound.

Comment Wow. Still not sure how they spent it all. (Score 1) 134

MTGOX charged 1% fees (.5% from both sides of a trade) and had volumes in the 50 million range for many months. They often had earned a profit in the range of 500,000 every month. That should be close to the amount they were spending on all of this junk plus employees. I still do not see where all of the dough went even with the extravagances shown.

It has also been shown that they did not have large amounts of transaction malleability theft as well. Something else happened. Like the owner keeping the coins.

We are more ABLE to drill and pump but it certainly does not make less CO2 or take less energy. Fracking takes far more resources then just drilling and most of the big easy wells are gone. We now drill in deep water which takes phenomenally more power and work then ground based operations.
