  1. hope u got 10 bux on Google's $10 Local Search Play · · Score: 1

    I for one believe this is an elaborate conspiracy to get more Something Awful forum members.

  2. uh oh on Kids Review the OLPC · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those kids didn't use proper anti-static safety protocols when replacing that motherboard! At this rate, it's going to be twenty laptops per child!

  3. Re:That's still a lot on Only 25% of Firefox Downloaders Are 'Active Users' · · Score: 1

    Using FF 2.0.0.6 here with Messenger 8.1 and all links from Messenger open in FF fine for me.

  4. Re:Why not just use a web host? on Google Rolls Out Online Storage Services · · Score: 1

    No, I realize web services oversell their space and bandwidth by a large percentage, I've just used a good chunk of it and have no problems. Oh, and I doubt Midphase is a "fly by night" hoster. ;)

  5. Why not just use a web host? on Google Rolls Out Online Storage Services · · Score: 1

    My web host gives me 2TB of storage and doesn't give a damn if I use it for file storage. I pay about $80 a year. ...yeah, this Google thing is a total ripoff.

  6. Re:Is no one worried about the hindencar? on NASA Tests Hydrogen-Fueled BMW · · Score: 1

    You're gonna see some serious shit.

  7. Re:We're in the minority on NASA Tests Hydrogen-Fueled BMW · · Score: 1

    The point of hydrogen is to use it as a storage mechanism, not as a fuel. As a fuel, hydrogen would have the same effect you describe. However, the use of hydrogen and its fuel cells as an energy-storing substance massively outperforms current battery technology, making solar/wind/nuclear as the overall energy producer a better option for "electric" cars, as you alluded to. The thing about gas/oil is that it both stores energy and travels from wherever it's drilled/refined and releases it to the consumer. However, think of nuclear and such as the oil pumps, hydrogen creation as the refinery, and hydrogen as the gasoline and the process is more clear.

  8. Re:Rare showers? how many? on Rare Meteor Event to Inform on Dangerous Comets · · Score: 3, Funny

    I felt a great disturbance in the International Astronomical Union, as if millions of definitions of planet suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

  9. Re:Stop the internet! on The Pirate Bay About To Relaunch Suprnova.org · · Score: 3, Funny

    Some say these "internet pirate gangs" are equivalent to "domestic bank robbers"! Those who feel threatened should immediately buy a dog.

    Thank you, Gene Ray.

  11. Re:Oh no! on Wikipedia Corrects Encyclopedia Britannica · · Score: 1

    Nobody that understands what an encyclopedia is would use one as a source for anything.

  12. Re:hmm... on HIV Vaccine Ready For Clinical Trials · · Score: 1

    Are you serious? The pharmaceutical companies would make a killing off producing this vaccine - no researchers would be able to manufacture tens of thousands if not millions of doses.

  13. November/December might be the time to buy.. on Intel Core 2 Updates, QX6850 and E6750 · · Score: 1

    The GeForce 9 series/G92 chip should also come out near the end of the year. If Intel is not just blowing smoke about a new CPU design, then, not now, might be the time to upgrade.
