    Damn, I thought it was a reference to Swamp People.

    Republican persecution complex, ENGAGE!

  4. "Lightening" on What The DHS Is Looking For In Your Posts · · Score: 2

    The word "lightening" is on the list. They must have to wade through a shit-ton of motorsports forum posts before they get their day started. This is under the "weather" section BTW, while "lightning" is not.

    Now that would be a good use of digital currency. A big thick wad of Canadian Tire money only comes up to a few dollars.

    Those ad-hoc leaders are transient though, so they'll have to lock up every skilled hacker in existence to take down Anonymous.

    Good point, Santorum himself has nothing to lose by doing this, although he's playing double-or-nothing with his party's interests.

    Furry spotted. It's OK, we don't care, just don't use any fallacious arguments like this one:

    let me remind you that you are yourself an ape furry, just more evolved.

    GP is most likely into his own species, a non-fictional species, and therefore not a furry.

  9. Re:Oh Frack! on US Wants Natural Gas As Major Auto Fuel Option · · Score: 1

    I was just going to ask how close we are to "peak NG." We're already using exotic and desperate methods to extract it, so I wouldn't be surprised if we've passed it.

    Force your control on a man and he'll revolt. Sell your control to a man and he'll purchase, embrace and defend it.

    Oh dear you've bent sweet lady logic into a pretzel. You could probably call Windows open source under similar arguments.

  13. Re:No reason to use it? on Users Spend More Time On Myspace Than Google+ · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yep, users are locked into Facebook nice and tight, tighter than any lock-in any OS ever had because there is zero compatibility of any kind between Facebook and G+...or anything else for that matter. At least most of your files would work with different apps on different OSes.

    Users will get off of Facebook once something much better comes along and Facebook stagnates, the same thing that got people off of MySpace and onto Facebook in the first place, and the same with Geocities before that...

  14. Re:Is this Apple or MS? on Apple Threatens To Pull Siri Clone From App Store · · Score: 1

    So if you can pay annual fees to the OS creator for a license to run any apps you want, but never be able to sell them or distribute them freely, then it's not really a walled garden?

    Nope not buying it.

    And it's clearly possible to drive well while old, there are a lot of amateur racing and test drivers who are 60+ years old (there have been a lot of crashes due to death by natural causes in racing in the last few years...that Toyota test driver possibly being the most recent case).

    I thought bandwidth was measured in speeding station wagons full of hard drives, or LoCs/sec.

    I thought it was terabytes. But that still doesn't sound as impressive as "thousands of gigabytes" or better yet "billions of kilobytes"

    Seconded. And imagine the calls these people must have received:

    "Hi there Democrat voter, have you ever thought that you might like Santorum? A lot of people who at first found the idea repulsive were glad they tried playing on the other team and haven't gone back. I'm here to convince you that what would make America great, is a big heaping helping of Santorum."

    D'oh brainfart, CRX HF is the economy model hypermilers love, CRX Si is the sporty model autocrossers love.

  25. Re:And... on Advertisers Co-Opting The Lorax With Half-Truths About Conservation · · Score: 1

    Certain models of the VW Golf can do that easily, and the CRX Si and Swifts (especially with the 600cc or 1L engines) should be able to do it if they're well-maintained and you don't mash the gas. All those cars can do over 40MPG if driven carefully. The CRX Si is to hypermilers as the AE86 is to drifters, they love that car and mod them to do 3-digit MPG.

    But the point is that by buying a used car you aren't spending the massive amount of energy and resources required to make a new car.
