  1. Rapid Recharge = HUGE Grid Drain on MIT Electric Car May Outperform Rival Gas Models · · Score: 1

    Do they realize how burdening a 10 min charge time would be to the power grid?

  2. Holy hell! on Opera 10.0 Released, With Integrated Web Server Functionality · · Score: 1

    The beta had like... NONE of these features. What next? OperaOS?

  3. Re:This should be a lesson... on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    HAHA! Serves them right for thinking a 2nd server is "backed up". That's the FIRST lesson you learn in any IT training: Off-site backups!

    Good luck to the admins at ever getting a job again.

  4. SuSE 6 on What Did You Do First With Linux? · · Score: 1

    A total pain, as it was SuSE 6.0 (or maybe 5.0) and it took me about 4 days to get my NIC working. I actually BOUGHT the 6 CDs that came with it. I could hardly partition my drive and so I was afraid I'd loose my windows ... oh boo hoo! It's funny, I don't remember my first girlfriend's name...

  5. boo ya on Obama Proposes High-Speed Rail System For the US · · Score: 1

    This would be so awesome. I drive maybe once a month right now, probably if i didn't have to drive across the state to visit my family, I would spend probably about $5 a year on gas

  6. Re:Two changes that could've been made on Battlestar Galactica Comes To an End · · Score: 1

    Life on earth seemed to get along without this stuff. I was kinda half asleep when I saw the finale, but wasn't it a military/executive decision to leave technology? I do agree with StandardCell about separating the colonials into technology/non-technology. I am watching the series again and it's incredible all the things they tie in to the finale. It's like they knew the story, start to end, before writing the second episode!

  7. Re:On what platform did they test? on Microsoft Says IE Faster Than Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 1

    I just skimmed the article and didn't see anything about the OS they used. I'm betting that if they ran on Vista, they primarily use IE8 on that system. And last I heard Vista actually improves performance of applications based on how often they are used. Would this speed up overall performance or only start-up performance? I wonder if this was taken into consideration.

  8. Re:mozilla.com on Microsoft Says IE Faster Than Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 1

    Ofcourse IE loads mozilla.com faster, that's the only site you'd ever need to open with IE...

    HAHAHA, how true!

  9. DIY? on DIY LED Array Marquee For Your PC · · Score: 1

    So the question is, if you're buying a MCU kit from a company, how is this a DIY project?

  10. Re:And then what? on Trying To Find White House Missing E-mails · · Score: 1

    As someone who voted for Obama, I sure hope to hell if he does a tenth of the illegal crap Bush seems to have, he is vindictively hounded out of office a lot sooner than 4 years from now.

    Let alone 8

  11. Re:And then what? on Trying To Find White House Missing E-mails · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And what exactly is it when a person does not give you the information you want, so you torture them? A birthday present? It's "punishment" which is not equal to "justice". I say that anyone that says what is done is not torture should have to endure it. Take that military guy that was voluntarily water-boarded for something like 18 seconds. He said he still is afraid, and that anyone who has it done WILL say it's torture. How can you argue with that? Try it first, then say it's not torture.

  12. OOOOLLLLLDDD on ASCII Art Steganography · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There have been console programs for *nix that do this for YEARS!

  13. Quite misleading on Arm Wrestling Machine Recalled for Breaking Arms · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's because I just woke up, but I couldn't determine if the machine was breaking the people's arms, or the people were breaking the machines' arms. It took me a while to understand that the people's arms were breaking. Poor choice of wording. Am I the only one?

  14. Re:Hurm . . . on Water Logic Gates Built at MIT · · Score: 1

    This site is at LEAST 3 years old. I can remember doing a water-powered computer for my final project at my old school and I found this site while researching techniques on how to do it.
