  1. Isn't on "World's Cheapest Laptop" Available in Bulk Only · · Score: 1

    that what computer labs are for? The old desktops that *most* schools have can still run anything that these things could. (Granted, I'm assuming that the school where your wife works has computers already).

  2. Differentiation on MPAA Plans To Launch Movie Links Site · · Score: 1

    Could the people in this research perhaps have also voted in a certain election in Florida?

  3. Something else on GM Researching Windshields For Old Drivers · · Score: 1

    that I don't need which will break.

  4. I had no idea on The Handwriting of Type Designers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    that there are so many people who are renowned for creating text... and that someone would have a "favorite." Incredible.

  5. Re:I find the obsession with tech in the class bad on How Technology Changes Classrooms · · Score: 1

    I learned Latin, you insensitive clod!

  6. Re:Oy vey... on How Technology Changes Classrooms · · Score: 1

    After seeing that comma splice, I believe you.

  7. does it matter? on What Is the Best Way To Disinfect Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    If you're the only one who uses it, then does it matter?

  8. Re:Math on 12,000 Laptops Lost Weekly At Airports · · Score: 1

    Well, according to the article, sounds like some of them are being destroyed (destroyed?) by the airports...

  9. Re:Impressive on Magazine Photos Fool Age-verification Cameras · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The whole idea of cigarette vending machines is itself fantastically stupid if there is an age cutoff for the legal purchase of cigarettes. Can you just imagine what Japan would be like if marijuana were legal there?

  10. Heck - on Firefox 3 Already Rules the Roost · · Score: 1

    I was using Firefox 3 beta 5 for months before Firefox 3 was released, and I only had one or two crashes. Normally I don't run beta releases, but it felt just like an official release. And, whaddya know, the IE version that I keep around is IE6 - go figure. Just goes to show another way to crash the statistics. How many more people have both Firefox 3 and IE6 installed on the same comp?

  11. News Flash! on The Fight To End Aging Gains Legitimacy, Funding · · Score: 1

    California man develops cure for aging, commits suicide. And now, on to the international scene...

  13. Re:EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW! on WTF? NC Offers to Replace 10,000 License Plates · · Score: 1

    Won't help you unless your kid is a 40 year old sexual predator, heh. Seriously, how many kids really chat with anyone but their friends from school? Personally, I think they should have had roflmfao in list, just to spice things up a little and to add something that you actually see in IM conversations.

  14. Re:Easy to subvert. on AI Could Power Next-gen CCTV Cameras · · Score: 1

    So, for example, you have your friends breakdance while you steal the stereos out of every car on the other side of the street. Ingenious!

  15. Re:wardriving on Chrysler To Offer Wireless Internet In 2009 Models · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Actually, I would think it would make wardriving interesting - the target network would be moving.

  16. Re:Well, many IT jobs ARE boring on New Grads Shun IT Jobs As "Boring" · · Score: 1

    Guess that means I don't get to fly the Millennium Falcon and kill stormtroopers... darn...

  17. Re:Maybe... on Georgia's New State Health Plan Is Google · · Score: 1

    Well, if you're east of Atlanta, it wouldn't make much sense take 400; you'd want to take 129. When I asked him where he was, he said that he'd just look at a map. So why the heck did he call in the first place? I assume that when you make reservations, you have at least a vague idea of where you're going.

  18. Re:14th Most Obese in Country on Georgia's New State Health Plan Is Google · · Score: 1

    which also causes the health of the state to remain in the past.
    because the past was so unhealthy.
  19. Maybe... on Georgia's New State Health Plan Is Google · · Score: 2, Funny

    it'll help the guy that called and asked how to get to Vogel State Park "from I-20." I might point out that I-20 runs through six states...

  20. The solution from comp car designers past. on Efficiency? Think Racing Cars, Not Hybrids · · Score: 1

    "Simplicate, then add lightness." - Colin Chapman

    Problem solved.

  21. Re:In the US no one wants to buy light cars on Efficiency? Think Racing Cars, Not Hybrids · · Score: 1

    And you would propose that I ride my road bike at 30+ mph on city sidewalks? Somehow I think the pedestrians might object... a bit.
