  1. Third Party Chargers on FOIA Documents Detail iPods Overheating, Catching Fire · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wouldn't be surprised if there was more unreported claims, but not by fault of the iPod itself. I've got an older 30GB Video one that I would dock every night on an Emerson clock radio. After the first year the dock started to overcharge the iPod. I pulled the iPod apart to discover the battery had swelled to almost twice its original size. I'd be more skeptical of low quality third party devices, and there are a lot.

  2. The Word on Chinese Hacking of American Military Networks On the Rise · · Score: 1

    Frenemy. It's a love hate relationship. Colbert rocks.

  3. Re:The way things are going on Humans Nearly Went Extinct 70,000 Years Ago · · Score: 1


    Funny though,IIRC the worst polluter we have for greenhouse gasses ISN'T cars and factories,as one would guess,but instead it is the methane created by the millions of cows we have bred farting their little brains out all over the planet. Apparently their natural diet makes for seriously gassy cows whose farts are almost pure methane.

    Guess I should eat more cows then.
  4. Re:Surprisingly forward thinking on MS' part on Ray Tracing To Debut in DirectX 11 · · Score: 1

    is wondrously parallelifyable (is that a real word?). President Bush would think so.
  5. Re:Grab Your Masks! on Scientology Injunction Denied Against "Anonymous" · · Score: 1

    So everyone shows up wearing the V for Vendetta masks right?

  6. Re:None of them are worth a damn. on Best Presidential Candidate, Democrats · · Score: 1

    [quote]Not a bad idea. The electorate should just choose some random person to be president every 4 years, and surprise them with the news at work one day.[/quote]

    Why stop there? I say we have Ed McMan show up to the person's cubicle with a bunch of balloons and a giant piece of cardboard that says Commander and Chief.

  7. Re:Radiohead and not Metallica on U2's Manager Calls For Mandatory Disconnects For Music Downloaders · · Score: 1

    and I don't even know the name of the latest Metallica album St. We Shit Into This CD Cover and Tried to Pass it Off as Music

    Trust me, you didn't miss much.
  8. Fetch on What Would You Do As President? · · Score: 1

    I'd bring the troops home and give NASA half the annual war budget a year, point to a rock in the sky, and say, "Fetch!" If we're going to spend gobs of money on something, lets spend it on something that'll put loads of people to work and technologically advance this country.
