  1. We might just get this on Harley-Davidson Unveils Their First Electric Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    Aparently I can edit my post. I just noticed I misunderstood what you said. So strike the "I don't think there would need to be. An electric engine doesn't need to remain running like a gas engine. You give it power and it goes. ".

  2. We might just get this on Harley-Davidson Unveils Their First Electric Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    "assuming it has the electric equivalent of a neutral gear." I don't think there would need to be. An electric engine doesn't need to remain running like a gas engine. You give it power and it goes. Though I think I would be disappointed if there was no need to shift gears. That is half the fun. I like manual transmissions.

  3. Re:failure is good on Ask Slashdot: New To Linux; Which Distro? · · Score: 1

    Or better yet. Install in a vm to learn and practice first.

  4. failure is good on Ask Slashdot: New To Linux; Which Distro? · · Score: 1

    Your attempt will likely fail. But what you learn in the process will be priceless. So you should go for it anyway. Arch has pretty well detailed docs. If you have a second pc or something that you can read these with while you install you should do that. Otherwise links and ctrl-f1 though ctrl-f6+ are your friend.

  5. Re:Dont know why you tied this to the blackberry on Biometric IDs For Every Indian Citizen · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1) What is more efficient than just giving the damned rice to the people who need it, no questions asked? 2) You act like the concept of a credit history is a GOOD thing. All credit does is open the door for you to be screwed by a bank. All while probably inflating prices because no-one has to have the cash to buy anything where otherwise items would have to be priced to what people could afford or they wouldnt sell (ex. Cars, Houses, etc.). Do you really thing $100,000 would be the cost of a relatively low end home if there were no loans? It has its good points, but it is way too abused and they are far outweighed by the bad ones.

  6. Re:Huh? WTF is a programming mouse? on Best Mouse For Programming? · · Score: 1

    He isnt saying you dont need a mouse. He is saying WTF is a programming mouse vs just a frigging mouse. Its just plain stupid.. A mouse is a mouse.

  7. No more reviews on Sequoia Threatens Over Voting Machine Evaluation · · Score: 1

    There it is. No-one is allowed to review software/hardware anymore unless its a good review and they have gotten permission from the software/hardware developer.

  8. No one will buy music anymore on $5 Per Month Fee Proposed For Legal Music P2P · · Score: 1

    If they do that, then everyone will feel (and be) justified in downloading all of their music for free. Since they are paying for it already against their will, why would anyone buy a cd, or use itunes, or amazon.com anymore? The music industry would basically slit their own throat.

  9. Re:AntiTrust concerns? on Vista SP1 Is Even Less Compatible · · Score: 1

    What do you think the service packs are? There really arent enough changes with each ubuntu release to be called anything but a service pack. Hell, we are pretty much using Ubuntu 1.0 service pack 4,283 :)

  10. boycott them on Copyright Alliance Says Fair Use Not a Consumer Right · · Score: 1

    Since they seem to be out for nothing more than to squeeze as much money out of consumers as they legally (or illegally) can, maybe we should remind them where their money comes from. People should just stop buying music and software until they remove their heads from their @$$s.
