    So we drill, and we get more oil for a short period of time 10 years from now. What happens as our (and the worlds) needs for oil grow at a faster pace? IN 10 years it will lower the gas prices from $11 a gallon to $10.75?

    We need to be focusing on moving away from oil. We need to find a fix for our problem, not a temporary patch that will only last a short time.

    The goal of a meme onces it has been used "to death", is to wait and find the perfect moment to use it.

    "many very smart people" i know are also "idiots blinded by Teh Shiny". Not saying they are Mac users or anything about Mac users, just saying that being smart has nothing to do with being blinded by "the shiny"

    If your goal is to get back and forth to work, then a Mini is overpriced when compared to a Geo Metro. The Mini owner might giggle, but i'm sure the Metro owner has the last laugh when it comes time to make the car payment.

    I don't think a majority of table top gamers will really be into the Video Game. From my experience, Table Top gamers enjoy the unlimited possibilities of Table Top that is not possible in a video Game. They tend to dislike being pigeon holed.

  14. Re:Now only if... on Tesla Motors Is Delivering Cars · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While I do believe that there is some truth to this. I think a lot of it has to do with how inexpensive gasoline has been in the past. Even now, at near $5 a gallon, Hybrids don't really save you money. So a Hybrid, when gasoline was $1 a gallon would have not been economically viable to the consumer.

  16. Re:This is why Blizzard is so seuccesful on Warhammer Online Sees Massive Content Removal To Make Launch · · Score: 1

    There are several MMO's that have different aspects (like Town building in Shadowbane, and Castle control in Lineage II). But there is only so much you can do different when your talking about a fantasy RPG setting. Maybe the move would be away from fantasy, but there have been those too. What would you think would be different of innovative?

    While PrePaid phones are great for those that do not use them very often, I use my cell phone for all of my phone/texting communication. I tend to use it a lot, and would pay through the roof for prepaid; even at 7c a min.

    Wow!

    I am sitting here at work, and I just got one of these calls on the work phone! It did not say a name, so I don't know who it was for. But that was crazy timing ot get a phoen call after posting/reading about them.

  20. Re:I hate to say this... on Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day · · Score: 1

    I have been with them for several years now. Inside the city, I have no problems with the service. my text messages work just fine (I get replies from my Uncle on AT&T before I can remove my tumb off of send, so he must get to him fast enough). But, I don't have the free phone. I have the Motorola SLVR L7.

    My (Ex) Girlfriend has T-Mobile. She has had more issues with her service this year, then I have had in years. That is to say, not receiving/sending text mesages.

    Thankfully they are starting ot branch out more, and I can use my phone when I travel to Denver and (hopeully) Las Vegas. I have not tested out their service in Vegas yet, or the roaming service for when your outside of the city. I whole heartedly believe that their will be tons of issues with functionaility while roaming.
