  1. Re:We do. on GM, Utilities Partner To Advance Plug-In Hybrids · · Score: 2, Informative

    Who holds back the electric car?

    Ironically, GM does.

    The volt will come out just in time for Oil to hit $45 a barrel.

    When the EV-1 came out, Oil was actually $25 a barrel.

    You must live in New Jersey...

    Now all I have to do is glue two video cameras together and sell it as a "budget 3-D video camera"...

  4. Re:Boats on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1

    Tiny Lister had a great role in that scene, convincing the warden (or whomever he was) to give him the detonator. What great writing.

    Considering how much attention they were giving to Mr. Lister (continual cuts in his direction, a few spoken lines, etc.) I had a feeling that he would be playing Bane in the next movie.

    We don't know why he's in prison, but he seems to at least be a somewhat decent guy. It would be tragic if he got drugged up and became Bane.

    Moreover, Tiny is such a versatile actor but he's underused far too often. I think he could play Bane very well.

    Or you know, maybe they could use Barry Bonds. For the uh, realism.

  5. Re:Bah on Computer Mouse Heading For Extinction · · Score: 1

    Yeah, when I can pick up a touchscreen for even $50 that doesn't work like shit, then I'll believe it will replace mice.

    Technology is about getting the job done in the best, cheapest, and most efficient way. Right now touchscreens fail two for three. It might be nice to actually see where you are moving directly, but it sure as Hell isn't cheap and it doesn't work as well or as smoothly as a mouse.

  6. RE: Editor/Submitter on Cold Boot Attack Utilities Released At HOPE Conference · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think the editor and submitter both need to read this.

    Emphasis on "Estimated".

    You're making the mistake that racists use logic.

    They'd probably say the black guy stole the DNA.

  10. We need two things. on Real-World 3G Monthly Cost With Taxes and Fees? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We need two things here, which would be very nice.

    1) A website that shows the calculations for cell phone taxes, state by state and carrier by carrier. Scans of bills (names redacted, of course) could supply the info efficiently, as can just calling the damn company if they are competant.

    2) Viewing our current bill like we can view banks. I'm sure as soon as I make a text, the charge is added to my next bill. So why can't I see that bill online?

  11. Re:Why are they allowed to drive in the first plac on GM Researching Windshields For Old Drivers · · Score: 1

    Well, your glasses can compensate for the vision degradation. Do we have something that can compensate for the degradation in people's reflexes?

    Testing should be mandatory every few years, not just for the elderly. What if your vision starts to go at a much earlier age? Stupid you, you think you see just fine and then you run over some equally stupid kid.

  12. Re:Why are they allowed to drive in the first plac on GM Researching Windshields For Old Drivers · · Score: 1

    So I would say that the GP is correct - politicians *would* dare to restrict the driving abilities of those who can't vote.

    Or won't vote.

  13. Re:Lifecycle? on Wii Is the New US Console Leader · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So... what saved it was games that were available on other consoles first?

    The Wii is a platform with so much potential and its all just being squandered away.

    It would explain why the planet is now a barren wasteland now... we used up all the water for brewing beer.

  18. Re:testing and QA on Dublin Air Traffic Control Brought Down By Faulty NIC · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So putting in a faulty NIC card and seeing what happened wouldn't have done anything at all, huh?

    Part of testing systems is trying to emulate what happens when a portion goes down.

    I guess clusterfuck would just be a synonym for orgy, but specifically emphasizing the... logistical problems involved with that many wangs and hoo hoos.

    Yes, that's a brilliant idea. Piss off a hacker and then give him access to sensitive systems. I'm sure they have someone just as smart as he is to check what he's doing.
