  1. Sun Damage on Painting The World's Roofs White Could Slow Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Sounds great and all, until you realize there is a reason roofing materials are what they are. Sun damage to building materials is a very, very serious problem. This is why you have to re-roof your home as often as you do. Painting them white isn't going to help.

  2. Re:js rendering is not the bottleneck on Google Releases Chrome V2.0 · · Score: 1

    I think you're confused about what adblock blocks. It doesn't block TEXT ads, and as far as I know that's all Google does.

  3. long winded on Exploring the Current State of Beta Testing · · Score: 1

    that article repeated itself and did little to explore the current state of beta. it could have been one page of just the developer quotes and it would have made more sense.

  4. Re:Wordpress has the option on Are Long URLs Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    A rather large portion of it, actually...

  5. disney or pixar on Did Bat Hitch a Ride To Space On Discovery? · · Score: 1

    quick, someone get disney or pixar on the phone! i have a movie idea to pitch to them about a bat who wants nothing more than to go to space.

  6. Assuming it smells good on Star Trek Fragrances · · Score: 1

    I am all for anything that makes nerds smell better

  7. Storage Monster on IBM Creates MRI With 100M Times the Resolution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good lord I don't want to see the required storage space for each file on that thing...

  8. not a fair review? on Brand Names Take On Generics In PSU Showdown · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else notice the Enermax PSU they chose? They could easily have had about a dozen ones that would be better made by the exact same company for the same amount or less money. They intentionally went out of their way to make Enermax look bad. (I do not work for them, I'm just a happy longterm customer)

  9. Re:_ WTF?!?!? on Global Warming Stopped By Adding Lime To Sea · · Score: 1

    Why not just use duct tape on the US and see if that fixes anything.....

    There, fixed it for you. There ain't no problem that duct tape can't fix!

    You know, I think you're on to something. The reason why we haven't solved global warming yet is because nobody has tried duct tape!! Quick, get me a patent lawyer!

  10. Villains on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1

    For those of you who don't seem to realize just how many villains there are that they could chose from, here is a list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_villains (Hint: You're right. The next movie won't be catwoman, freeze, riddler, or penguin. Please stop posting about them. I bet you never would have guessed scarecrow either until you saw him the first time)

  11. Re:The electric car you want is ready now: on Mercedes To Phase Out Gasoline By 2015 · · Score: 1

    Faster than it HOW? Top speed? Nope, try again...

  12. 3G cellphone? on Working With 2 ISPs For Home Networking? · · Score: 1

    What? Nobody else suggested using your cellphone's 3G data via (bluetooth) tether? You would be surprised at how reliable and fast it can be. It's perfect in a pinch for a backup connection, I have found.

  13. Re:No good OS has been released since late 2007 on Internet Devices Get Their Own Ubuntu Version · · Score: 2, Informative

    one release? which is that? 2000? XP? server 2003? try again...

  14. Re:Can't put that genie back into the bottle on US Plots "Pirate Bay Killer" Trade Agreement · · Score: 2, Insightful

    huh? i don't know where you get your torrents or what kind of music you listen to, but for me it's the exact opposite. there is music out there in torrent land that i couldn't buy if i wanted to, let alone buy from an online store.

  15. in 2 words on Metallica May Follow In Footsteps of Radiohead, NIN · · Score: 1

    no. never. there is no way to forgive what they did, the greedy bastards. they're only changing their minds now because they want more money.
