  1. US gas is not expensive on 2012 Set Record For Most Expensive Gas In US · · Score: 1

    The cheapest gas in Finland is 7.56 USD, and it varies up to 8.51 USD per gallon (95 octane with 10 per cent ethanol). I find it amazing that Americans complain so much about the price of gas there. I pay double and I don't complain. If I have to drive, I have to fill up. It's not like I can fuel the car with orange juice. Most of the price is taxes, though. I think it is fair to tax polluting.

  2. Hygiene on Nissan Turns to Technology to Stop Drunk Driving · · Score: 1

    I better not clean my hands with ethanol hand towels then.

    You are. I'd write a lengthier response if I had the time.

  4. What? on When Does Technolust Become An Addiction? · · Score: 1

    one in three people aged 16 to 24 would not give up their mobile phone for a million pounds.
    Translation: 33% of young Britons are stupid. 1 million pounds (1,991,968.08 USD, 1,487,863.14 EUR) is a lot of money. Some of them will not earn that money working their whole lives. With that money I would buy a walkie-talkie and hire a guy to reply calls and text messages for me. A walkie-talkie is technically not a mobile phone. If that was forbidden I would just make my way with a Nokia wi-fi handheld. I could communicate via email and irc.

    I'm not sure if anything requires belief. I believe I am entitled to my believes.

  8. According to Garrison on 48% of Americans Reject Evolution · · Score: 1

    "You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel."
    Seriously though, I'm a believer (of evolution).

  9. But on GTA IV Trailer Inflames Big Apple Politicians · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Telecomm on US No Longer Technology King · · Score: 3, Informative

    all of the countries that are listed above the US are much smaller than the US, with higher population densities Untrue. According to wikipedia:
    usa Density 31 /sq km (172nd) 80 /sq mi
    finland Density 16 /sq km (190th) 40 /sq mi
    sweden Density 20 /sq km (185th) 52 /sq mi
  12. Strange on Surprise, Windows Listed as Most Secure OS · · Score: 0

    Why was it important to state that "Symantec [is] no friend of Microsoft"? Was it to make Symantec's claims more approvable? That article seems a bit biased. If windows had the fewest number of patches, could it simply be because it's closed source and vulnerabilities were just not found but are still there? Shortest time to develop something doesn't necessarily mean that a proper job is done. "no, security, defectivebydesign, microsoft, windows" seems right, although strange use of commas.

  13. Hmm on Mark Russinovich on Windows Kernel Security · · Score: 0

    I believe there is a bug in the tagging system. I see "security" next to "windows".
