  6. Re:So what is the problem? on Two Powerful Blows Against Air Pollution Controls · · Score: 1

    Of course it affects us but I am sure giving industry enough money they can find a solution to the problem.

    Yeah, after all that worked out so well when we needed to expand the country's internet infrastructure.

  7. Re:Unprecedented expansion indeed on Two Powerful Blows Against Air Pollution Controls · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you have the power to declare any substance whatsoever to be a pollutant, and then to heavily regulate its release.

    I propose that lobbyists be declared a pollutant.

    Can you also tell them not to give your number to anyone else? (at which point they might as well delete your number from their database.)

  9. Re:A little hard to believe on Yahoo's Build Your Own Search Service · · Score: 1

    It's not the same. news.google.com has (wait for it) news. Yahoo.com has search, links to a long list of services, email, IM, weather, movies, news, stocks, shopping, and food. To get a similar level of noise at Google you need to us iGoogle.

  14. Re:Who supports FISA? on Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support · · Score: 1

    I'm following george carlin's advice...

    I am not familiar with what his advice is, but I would think it is better to vote for a minor party candidate than abstain from voting at all.

    My little brother is playing StarCraft on a vintage iMac beside me as I type.

  17. Re:I think I speak with many of us when I say on Blizzard-Activision Merger Official · · Score: 1

    EA has done that repeatedly because the ship date is more important to them than the quality.

    That tends to happen when your biggest series' (sp?) have a year on them.
