    John D. Rockefeller would probably make ExxonMobil look like a Green Party front organization if he was still alive.

    Consideringit was Standard Oil who equipped the Nazi war machine with their ability to turn coal into oil... yeah.

    This is a fork of Mate, right?

  5. 10 years is a little too generous: my PC and laptop (P4 3000C/HT and Athlon 3000+) from 2004-2005 are unable to play h264 smoothly even at 480p.

    Actually, a lot of graphics hardware from that time period is capable of hardware-accelerating h264. Case in point: if you find an old Dell Latitude D610 or D810 (2nd-gen PentiumM architecture) with a Radeon x300 or x600 (fyi these also shipped with Intel and nVidia graphics) and you get the latest drivers (either via Driverpack Solution or laptopvideo2go.com), you can enable full h264 acceleration within Media Player Classic... and play h264-encoded 1080p at 60fps all day long (plus some of the D810's shipped with 1920Ã--1200 panels...).

    What does "socially responsible" purchasing mean and look like???

    If you have to ask...

  13. Meanwhile my ~4 year old laptop is grinding to a halt for daily general use.

    It sounds like it could use what I like to refer to as an "enema from orbit."

  14. It also holds desktop sized SSDs

    Just because a desktop can hold a laptop-sized (2.5") SSD doesn't make it "desktop-sized." A "desktop SSD" would be 3.5"

    To be fair to Bigelow, he's been working on this for a really long time; I don't think there was a whole lot more to this than ideas when he took it over.

    That depends on where you inserted your finger.

  19. Dude, with friends like you, the oil industry doesn't need be enemies. Seriously, they've got the cognitive dissonance down to a science and really don't need you jeopardizing their efforts - though I'm sure they appreciate your efforts.

    but from what I've seen from shopping for small cars, manual transmissions are still a bit more fuel efficient on average.

    You're misinterpreting the data; you're seeing manual transmissions on smaller, more fuel-efficient cars [that typically ship with manual transmissions]... but they're not more fuel efficient because they're manual...

    Are you aware of how many European models are no longer available with a manual transmission even as an option?

    As far as I'm concerned, Christians and the Jews don't deserve to be even mentioned in the same sentence as Buddhism (and let's face it; in addition to tgeir unimpressive track records, they both claim to worship the same petty, jealous - i.e. evil - deity that the Islam does).
