  1. Recycling plants on New Video of Tesla's Mass-Market Electric Car · · Score: 0

    What crops do I plant that take in CO2 and output gasoline?

  2. Maintenance on Getting Beyond the Helldesk · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Web Development ... databases ... college ... Get a high maintenance woman, and you will not have to worry about any of those things.

  3. Logitech Nano on Bluetooth Versus Wireless Mice · · Score: 1

    I tried several mouses; the Logitech Nano was the easiest to set up. Works with Linux out of the box. The resolution is good, and has no "go to sleep if not used for a while" quirks. It uses a pair of AA batteries that run it for about 3 - 6 months. There are several variants, some have the tiny receiver and some a larger one. Some have just the two buttons and the clickable scroll wheel, some have more buttons. I found all the extra buttons, specially the side by side button on the wheel to be excruciatingly aggravating, and not so easy to deactivate. I've been using the Nano V450 which is plain. The quirkiest under Linux was a Microsoft Intellimouse that liked to have the pointer move randomly on the screen. But it worked ok in Windows with its proprietary driver. I gave it away to some dumb guy that uses Windows and he is happy with it.

  4. Organ Ghouls on Tooth Regeneration Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Used to be the ghouls would cruise around, mug some guy and take his kidney ... or more. Now, they will just do a tooth extraction for stem cells!

  5. The Point is... on Lenovo's New ThinkPad Has 2 LCD Screens, Weighs 11 Pounds · · Score: 1

    If you don't like it, don't buy it. Its like no one is forcing you to buy it, or lug it around. I am sure *somebody* will like it, and buy it. Man, its like saying that Chocolate Icecream tastes like shit. I suggest, then, you buy vanilla or strawberry.

  6. Great! It runs Linux, right? on Lenovo's New ThinkPad Has 2 LCD Screens, Weighs 11 Pounds · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Not mentioned in the article, but surely it must run Linux, right?

  7. Re:The Real Surprise is in Alaska on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    From an Alaskan:
    - gimme my damn check!
    - I'll drink to that!
    - Girls gotta learn to say no
    - She's back to being just governor. Signed,
    A dude.

  8. Re:Where's all the enablers at??? on Small Bird Astounds Scientists With 11,200km Flight · · Score: 1

    So 60's. I remember this. Some scholarly scientists published a study that proved that bumblebees can't fly. Of course, nobody could tell the bumblebees, so they continued flying.

  9. 4004 BC on Research Finds Carbon Dating Flawed · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that the earth was created in 4004 BC, after all?

  10. Name Them! on What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Its easy to mix the chargers up. First thing I do is stick on a piece of duct tape, and with a Magic Marker or Sharpie, write the name of the device it fits, such as "WRTG54GL" or "MOT V235". Avoids sticking 18 volts into a 5 volt device!

  11. MILF on IT Repair Installs Webcam Spying Software · · Score: 1

    The ultimate source for milf pictures.
