  1. Federal Case on Tesla Faces Tough Regulatory Hurdle From State Dealership Laws · · Score: 1

    Seems like these States are trying to invoke the Federal power to regulate interstate trade. That's a no no.

  2. Re:US DOE Office of Inspector General, Chicago, IL on Department of Education Purchasing 27 Shotguns · · Score: 2, Funny

    A Tommy Gun of course.

  3. Re:"a" not "an" :) on Univ. Help Desk Staffer Extorts Over Copyright Violations · · Score: 1

    ...but shouldn't it "a university" not "a University". If you going to be the "Gramar Nazi", please do it right.

  4. Re:Taxes: a good thing? on Calling B.S. On Amazon's Taxation Arguments · · Score: 1

    I haven't much in the way of outrage, but outrage may me warranted since if someone else avoids (evades?) taxes it is likely to increase the tax burden on those of us who do pay our taxes.

  5. Re:19 years is shit! on Panasonic's New LED Bulbs Shine For 19 Years · · Score: 1

    http://www.roadsideamerica.com/set/lightbulbs.html

    That would be great if all I needed was a 4 watt bulb and I never turned it off.

    (BTW not "Edison's original Light bulb")

  6. Re:There's more land to cover on US Cell Phone Plans Among World's Most Expensive · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. Look at the coverage maps. The cell phone companies are not even attempting to cover all of the US (that would be impractical). Some only (according to their maps) only cover about a third to a half of the area of the US.

  7. Re:Crazy people on English DJ Claims Wi-Fi Allergy · · Score: 1

    "Crazy people are everywhere. Stop giving them attention."

    But I need attention.

  8. Re:If they don't use local resources why should th on Rhode Island Affiliates Banned From Amazon.com Sales · · Score: 1

    Let's be completely clear, it is the customer being taxed and not Amazon.

    The customer is resposible for those taxes in most states wether Amazon colectes them or not.

    I do beleve that online retailers should be made to collect the sales tax for the state the good are being delivered to.

    However, I also belive that it will require federal action for this to happen.

  9. Re:Put plates at the bottom of an exit ramp on English Market Produces Energy With Kinetic Plates · · Score: 1

    This is only true if I do not have a car that has a reciprocal braking system that allows me to recapture the energy myself. Also a bump in the road will be more likely to cause me to brake more than I would normally need to in any situation. (Speed bumps exist to encourage braking not to slow the vehicle themselves.)

  10. md5 Check sums on Court Sets Rules For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    A matching md5 check sum alone don't mean squat. It is entirely possible for two distinctly different files to have the same check sum. Just because I have files that have md5 check sums that match pirated files does not mean that my files are pirated.

  11. Re:Easy fix... on iPhone Takes Screenshots of Everything You Do · · Score: 1

    Where exactly do I put the black tape to block a screen shot????

  12. Re:Not illegal on Don't Share That Law! It's Copyrighted · · Score: 1

    I would have to disagree. The law applies to everyone not just tax payers. Spliting hairs is fun.

  13. Re:In a word... on Psystar Will Countersue Apple · · Score: 1

    "purchase an Apple product at retail and resell it"

    According to the EULA, ..

    Screw the EULA. What Does it say on the box? If they are not plainly stating on the box that it is an upgrade, stating in the EULA will hardly standup.

  14. Re:How green? on Dutch Town Lays Air-Purifying Concrete · · Score: 2

    "What do you suggest paving the road with? Grass? Good intentions?"

    Well it worked for the road to hell, and I am told that road handles a lot of traffic.
