  7. Poll on Why You Can't Dump Java (Even Though You Want To) · · Score: 1

    On a scale of 1 to 10(1 least creditable, 10 most) how much does the use of the word "cyber" affect the credibility of the article and/or author with you?

    Previously I would stop reading any article that used "cyber", aside from government articles where I was attempting to get a feeling for their train of thought. Now I feel I'm forced to consider that the article may be meaningful and possibly persuasive even with the use of "cyber" which the opera spell check continuously tells me is incorrect.

  18. Stealth on Audi Gives Silent Electric Car Synthetic Sound · · Score: 1

    While the idea of adding fake noise to silent operation still seems silly to me, i was caught by surprise by a hybrid in a parking lot. I hate to be that guy, but there was enough other noise I didn't hear it rolling and it spooked me. Should cars be heard for safety reasons?
