  1. Re:Well... kinda on Consumer Reports Refuses To Recommend Microsoft Surface Book 2 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Good article to read! I had an experience in 2005 where I used my 1975 F250 Super-cab to take some young kids (like nephew & niece to me) fishing in the river flats and got stuck. This was on a low maintenance road with potholes, one of which I got stuck in. We walked back to a paved road and flagged a new looking Dodge pickup, I asked the owner to tow me out of the pothole and the jerk said he did not want to get his truck dirty (I kid you not!). Even then people bought trucks to look good. Well I found another guy who was turkey hunting with a little Ford car (can't remember the model) who took us to the kids' place and I got unstuck with the friend's 1970 K10 Blazer.

  2. Re: The key is not getting caught on Russian Troll Factory Paid US Activists To Fund Protests During Election (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Your example of Duke Lacross is a case where the female involved did fake her rape by any one of the teammates who's careers were destroyed by her claims.

  3. I know what you mean. But why wasn't it Coors? Isn't that brewed in Colorado?

  4. My Favorite Martian - showed the suit years ago. on Robotic Exoskeletons May Become Skintight Suits (robohub.org) · · Score: 1

    The description of future exoskeleton sounds like Uncle Martin's suit! Remember when they had been separated for a while? The suit was intelligent too. :)

  5. Re:Of course, nothing prevents the owner from on Apple Patents a Way To Keep People From Filming At Concerts and Movie Theaters (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    And, the consumer then does not have to attend a concert where harassment such as this is occurring. Saving themselves more money and losing a fan of the idiot performing.

  6. Not reasonable, you think the bureaucracy of a state is reasonable? They are nerds for the law more than anyone else. That is why this person is being prosecuted in Florida. Think man....

  7. Re:Just what the world needs... More advertisement on Good Riddance Payphones: NYC's Free Gigabit Wi-Fi Kiosks Go Live (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

  8. Re:So what should we do? on Jeep/Chrysler's New Gearshift Appears To Be Causing Accidents (roadandtrack.com) · · Score: 1

    They stop making push button shifters because women broke their finger nails using them. Probably wouldn't be a problem today with softer button etc.

    If I recall correctly, the push button transmission shifter did result in issues like when driving 50 mph a push of a button would put you in Park with bad things happening.

  9. Re:Informative post on Anti-Malware Maker Files Lawsuit Over Bad Review (csoonline.com) · · Score: 2

    I also notice that Spyhunter has a history of lawsuits against other companies that did remove their product for you.

  10. Re:Unconstitutional on Federal Law Now Says Kids Can Walk To School Alone (fastcoexist.com) · · Score: 1

    We have a Federal Education Department that is as you already said, unconstitutional. This is the funnel for the funds to the Schools as well as the condition maker for those funds.

  12. Re:Again?! on Fullstack Launches Coding School For Women (sdtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The page says "white colleges" but aren't they regular colleges that accept all ethnicities vs. the black colleges that produce more black graduates and higher degrees?

  13. 130 Secretary of State offices... on Michigan Sues HP Over Decade Long, $49 Million Incomplete Project · · Score: 1

    I thought the state would only have one Secretary of State Office. What is the need for 130 of them?

  14. There is no apostrophe for plurals. Why would you do that? We all breath pure mountain air, straight from the Himilaya's! Maybe davester666 forgot the last word? It would have been fine if "straight from the Himilaya's peaks!" :)

  15. Re: Balls? on California Fights Drought With 96 Million "Shade Balls" · · Score: 1

  16. Re:It all depends.... on Iowa Makes a Bold Admission: We Need Fewer Roads · · Score: 4, Informative

    In North Dakota, the road authority has an easement to use the edge of the landowner's property. When a road is closed, abandoned or not wanted, the road authority can let the landowner take over control of the easement to use for their needs. A road authority is either a Township Board, a County Highway Department, or the State Highway Department. The turnover usually has to be initiated by a petition from the landowner after the road authority has closed or stopped maintenance of the road.

  17. Re:He answered the most boring questions! on Interviews: Linus Torvalds Answers Your Question · · Score: 1

    I think you asked the wrong person your question. That is why it is not answered. I don't know who is in a position to address your complaint though either.

    I wonder how the court system handled their destruction of Millions of dollars of equipment at a company working on a project for the United States? Their UN-repentant attitudes should have gotten them life for that magnitude of damage.
