Comment Re:Nuclear not great either (Score 1, Flamebait) 281

Yea, commissioned in 1985, I'm sure things haven't changed at all since the time of that build.

The last nuke commissioned was in 1995... New nukes produce the most power with no pollution and last for decades. Yet the "environmentalists" would prefer us building 30 new coal plants a year instead of 1 nuke... brilliant.

Comment Hybrids are not the way (Score 1) 1186

Until the automakers realize that using a inefficient battery that barely gets the job done isn't the right way, this isn't going to happen.

I think we need to start by getting more clean diesel vehicles on the road first while new technology is being developed to increase the *power* and *distance* a clean vehicle can accomplish.

I'd like to see a large truck that still has plenty of power (600ft/lbs + torque) and get anywhere near that 42MPG. And don't get me wrong here, that's not sarcastic.

I'm sorry but I'm 6'+ and one of these little "hybrids" which btw can't even pay for themselves in the cost of fuel in less than 10 years. I'm not going to buy one, I'm doing my part by having a RAM 2500 Clean Diesel instead of a gas engine but it still leaves me wondering... are the tall/bigger people going to get screwed by all this?

Comment Bullsh.. (Score 1) 301

Well lets see here, there are two entirely different groups of people that use each phone I think. The iPhone is a teen/early twenties phone, most of it's days are spent in a dorm room or sitting in a locker somewhere. Whereas the blackberry is used by business people or technicians (me) and often doesn't sit in the office or in a book bag. It sits on your belt clip and I think that's the real culprit those effing belt clips... bastards.

KDE 4.0 Beta 1 Released 249

dbhost writes "Along with this morning's cup of coffee and log reviews, I discovered that the KDE team is moving forward with a long awaited beta release of KDE 4.0 beta release of KDE 4.0. The most interesting item I found in the notes is that the file manager in KDE is being separated from Konqueror into a component called Dolphin. Also, according to the announcement, konsole has been treated to a number of improvements such as split view, and history highlighting."
