    You know what they say. 53.74% of statistics are mad. up on the spot.
    I mean come on. You have 4 percentages. Two of them are 70%. The other two are 90%. How big was their sample size? 10?

    You, too, need to get outside more. What's scary is that I got modded insightful rather than funny.

    And, it sounds like the government might actually be listening to the people at times other than when an election is due. I think I figured out why government is so screwed up. Politicians are basically megaphones. What goes in comes out louder. At election time, good ideas go in, good ideas get spewed back out. After the election, BS from lobbyists goes in, and BS comes back out. Now if only we could make them into voice recorders instead...
  10. Microsoft? on Google's Addiction to Cheap Electricity · · Score: 1

    Microsoft, Yahoo, and Ask.com are also planning data centers on the Columbia River Wow. Microsoft is doing something that isn't likely to upset /.

    but if they start throttling everyone, they'll find most users will have a very negative response. Speaking of which... How are WoW users handling all this?

  17. Re:HD DVD joins Betamax in tech hell! on Toshiba Making Funeral Plans for HD DVD · · Score: 1

    Why by a HDDVD-only player (or a BluRay) before the format war is over? Yes, they got burned. That's the price of being too early of an adopter. Dual drives allow one to adopt HD content reasonably early without the risk of it backlashing later.

    The post office dropped your packet. Or did it send you a fake cancellation of service notice to both of you?

  22. Re:Bad analogy. on Comcast's FCC Filing Called Unfair, Not Good Enough · · Score: 1

    Even better analogy: The competition's racehorses have barriers every dozen yards or so that trip them. Since the horse is injured, a new one needs to be saddled up and brought out. After this happens a few times, the rider just gives up.

    It's more like having a professional sniper taking out the competitors.
