Universe slipped Milky Way a sausage galaxy to grow a big belly bulge

Re: Origin story

It's all because of Glowbull Climate Change.

You know that silly fear about Alexa recording everything and leaking it online? It just happened

Re: Come on, who wasn't expecting this to happen?

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE that believes for one millisecond that Jeff Bezos has best intentions for you is going to be in for a very very rude surprise. I'm wondering if 'Alexis' is close enough to trigger the spy? I do have some automation in my home but I make darn well sure that I have to physically control it. None of this voice stuff.

I do find it interesting that the Amazon Fire doesn't have a power on light that is continuous when it's 'on'. Trust No One

Apple's magical quality engineering strikes again: You may want to hold off that macOS High Sierra update...

Zippo Issues

2 iMacs, recent, 2 MacBook Pros, combination of i5's and i7's, external Thunderbolt to HDMI on one iMac, USB Keyboards & Wireless mice, various combinations and zero problems.

As Apple fixes macOS root password hole, here's what went wrong

Re: Mistakes happen

Must have been one of their 'diverse' engineers. Celebrate 'diversity' at the cost of reliability and competence.

AT&T, Verizon agree to hop into bed and thrust new erections over US

Or Silicon Valley, CA. I'm lucky to get any coverage and I'm on basically flat land with towers all around me, but none close enough to do the job. All I get out of AT&T is.....crickets.

Sacre bleu! Apple's high price, marginal gain iPhone strategy leaves it stuck in the mud

Re: Media doesn't get the $1000 product

I just picked up a 7+, I finally dropped my 4s one to many times. I also have a decent 12mp Cannon SLR. Let's just say that the camera on the 7+ blows the Cannon out of the water on image quality. I've been doing photography for a few decades and these things are scary good. So good I'm doing a 48" x 36" mural for my bedroom of the Grand Canyon (North Rim) from it. It's that bloody sharp. I can just imagine what the 8+ and X are like. I guess I'll find out when my wife gets one of them, 8+ or X, not sure which she'll settle on.

Just think what would happen if Timmy were to get off of his SJW/GlowBull Climate WTF kick and concentrate on MAGA....Make Apple Great Again.

Re: Odd....

They are using Ford's SUV's, forget which one (Explorer??) but they are like bird droppings, all over the place.

Climate change bust up: We'll launch our own damn satellites if Trump pulls plug – Gov Brown

Re: And Governor Moonbeam, how will you pay for your Climate Sats?

I believe you understate the issue here in Kommieforniastan. If people had even the slightest clue how far down the rabbit hole this insane state truly is they'd be marching on Sack-0-Tomatoes with hot tar and feathers. What will be the final nail in the coffin will be the dream of Single Failure 'health' care.

Re: Bad idea

Let them waste your money, then they can falsify their own data and keep you idiots believing their line of BS as they bleed you dry. Suckers.

San Franciscans unite to smite alt-right with minefield of doggy shite

I've re-read the 1st Amendment, it doesn't mention the right to suppress speech. If you don't like the message then formulate a reply or don't listen. Terrorism and violence isn't the answer. But given the history of the extremes it seems the only way they can do anything. I invite all to spend 5ms researching AntiFa and the National Socialists....they are kissin' cousins. PTSFP

Amazing new algorithm makes fusion power slightly less incredibly inefficient

Re: Here are some free ideas

You haven't heard of coal fired steam engines? You can burn coal all day long and not go anywhere, except release a bunch of ash and nasty things into the atmosphere, you have to convert the heat into rotational energy, a Stirling Engine, which are not know for their energy output.

Re: A Few Observations

You know darn well that Al Gore will demand Helium sequestration because we all KNOW that helium is the prime cause of climate disruption, which messes with old Al having issues keeping his swimming pools nice and warm in January.

Imagine every mistake you can make with a new software rollout...

Re: Alameda County spent $4.5m on the system.

In Kommieforniastan they don't care if people are hurt, as long as they make it look like they did something good to get the raises and bonuses.

Google had Obama's ear during antitrust probe

They'll have to add rooms to the White House if HilLIARe gets in, or else the Lincoln bedroom will be getting a heck of a lot of use.

New solar cell breaks efficiency records, turns 34% of light into 'leccy

Re: Science is a filthy tease...

Coming in late here...my 3,500Kw system put out about 3,200 peak under PERFECT conditions using 190w Kyocera Cells (10 years old now). Lost a channel on my inverter (70% efficiency), Put in new inverter, 93% efficiency after 10 years, panels are now putting out 3,000 peak, 10 years later. My total investment in this entire system, including new inverter and trouble shooting, the tech was a blithering idiot, is $27k. At a 6% loss over 10 years I'm friggin' thrilled, especially seeing as it was offset by a much improved inverter. I have discovered one thing, it doesn't matter if panels are sparkling clean or not. Essentially the same output. Enjoy. Go Nukes for reliable energy.
