Even if the stats upon which you base your assertion are correct (and I am not conceding this, I just can't be bothered to confirm them), you seem to me to be commiting an elemental correlation/causation fallacy. Or do you have something from the literature documenting causation? If so, please share.

Comment Re:Mobility? Let's do the math (Score 1) 223

Yeah, I back-enveloped the math too and I don't see how any commercial-scale system you might imagine could be anywhere near competitive.

If you look at Toyota's entire history with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, it's really just been an exercise in FUD to justify their unwillingness to pursue BEV technology, which, after all, they were an early leader in. I think this is just one more effort in that vein.

Comment Trollery AND misleading AND stupid. (Score 1) 559

- As has been pointed out _numerous_ times prior in these comments, identifying the release of Mr. Comey's personal memo as a 'leak' is misleadingly (and I think intentionally) implying that its release is illicit, which it is not. This is trollery and a clear intent to mislead, plain and simple.

- With regard to Mr. Snowden's comment, there is no rule against what Mr. Comey did, so his comment is stupid.

Here, though, where Bernie Sanders - who's a 120 leagues left of any other elected Democrat - smeared Hugo Chavez as a "dead communist dictator". Here, where Chavez is 360 leagues to the right of Castro....

You're onto something. Castro is exactly in line with Chavez (as you say 360 degrees, one full turn).

The only one that's off is '120 degrees to the left of any other elected democrat'. Which is, again, pretty much right on top of Castro, 'authoritarian asshole with a justification', going further left of that takes you back into right wing.

In what system of angular measurement are _leagues_ interchangeable with _degrees_? I am familiar with _leagues_ only as a linear unit, not an angular one.

You seem to be confused.

Comment Re:Shame on you, Samsung! Shame! (Score 1) 202

+1. Agree wholeheartedly. A sealed design greatly reduces the device's usable lifespan and is a horrible design approach for a rechargeable device for that reason.

I am a heavy user of a Galaxy Note 3, and I've bought several spare and replacement batteries since I got it. When I finally replace it, it will not be with another Samsung device; I'm switching over to the LG V line, which still employs a removable battery.

Or the people who don't want this to happen started the practice the next day to eventually lead to this story to make the situation more visible?

Even if people are making bad-faith requests just for the purpose of highlighting the flaws in the law/process, those flaws remain nonetheless.
