  3. Re:I love it! on Google Launches Free Wireless Broadband · · Score: 1

    It didn't work for me so I looked in the FAQ and it doesn't work in septic tanks. I got excited and already flushed my fiber optic so now both my cable and the toilet is broken.

    Roto-rooter is going to be busy today.

  4. Re:Inaccurate on The Air Car Nears Completion · · Score: 1

    I though about converting a car to electric and they say you can get 300 miles but that is not at highways speed on hilly terrain. Beside the batteries cost more than the car but a metal tank. Now that might be better. It is a hell of a lot cheaper to make than a li-ion so who cares if it's 3 times bigger than that and it would still beat lead acid for usable energy density.

    It's kind of meaningless as long as people don't care about saving energy or money. Most new cars with a four cylinder that have more horsepower than the v8 in my '89 Range Rover even a prius is faster than it. In twenty years we have cars with 2 or 3 times as much power with the same mpg. We could have cars with the same hp and twice the mpg. Just my two cents.

    Disclaimer - all my cars are well over ten years old and I'm just pissed because everyone smokes even when I peel out. Those damn kids with their Hondas and Toyota and ford and ... screw this I'm going to play GTA and improve my driving.
