  1. What does it log? on Toyota Sudden Acceleration Is Driver Error · · Score: 1

    Input from the pedals or output from the electronics?

  2. Does that really evade taxes? on Hollywood Accounting — How Harry Potter Loses Money · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the company that now got a deal higher than market value have to pay taxes on the income? I'm sure there's some tricks they use, they sure as hell aren't paying more taxes than they need to.

  3. Re:Sounds familiar. on Mom Arrested After Son Makes Dry Ice "Bombs" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's not crazy at all. What would be the range of a 6ft rocket? What kind of damage can it do with fuel still in it?

  4. Re:Well? on The Tuesday Birthday Problem · · Score: 1

    From the article, you also have to take into account that it was the older boy that was born on Tuesday.

  5. Re:So? on Louisiana Federal Judge Blocks Drilling Moratorium · · Score: 1

    The other issue is that, they already having trouble containing the oil from Deepwater. If there was another leak too in the area it would completely overwhelm all the cleanup efforts.

  6. Re:They would only be hurting themselves on Pakistani Lawyer Wants Mark Zuckerberg Executed · · Score: 1

    Seeing how SA gave Israel the ok to use their airspace if they want to hit Iran, I would say there's a rift.

  7. Re:We are never leaving Afghanistan on $1 Trillion In Minerals Found In Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    How is it real money? It would probably cost us more to keep troops there while the mining is occurring than all the mineral is worth. Ore shipments would be prime targets for terrorist and would require increased security. Whoever goes in, will need an understanding with the locals or a lot of firepower.

  8. Re:Now the USA army will never leave there. on $1 Trillion In Minerals Found In Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize it was a cornucopia of minerals. Never is a long time. It'll take a large investment to actually get the mining operation going.

  9. What else is on that gene? on Researchers Restore Youthful Memory In Aging Mice · · Score: 1

    I would be concerned with what other functions are connected to that gene. You wouldn't want your memory restored but then find that you can't digest proteins or something.

  10. Re:Playstation, ask the Xbox how this one turned o on Sony To Detail "Premium PSN" Plans At E3 · · Score: 1

    Seeing how they lose money money to the PS3 I fail to see how they would make money if people bought it for OtherOS instead of for games.

  11. Re:Unclean hands on Rockstar Ships Max Payne 2 Cracked By Pirates · · Score: 1

    even though it's through unofficial channels? How would they keep track of it?

  12. Re:Unclean hands on Rockstar Ships Max Payne 2 Cracked By Pirates · · Score: 1

    When was the crack copyrighted? I think the point is moot.

  13. Was expecting an Onion article on North Korea Announces Achieving Nuclear Fusion · · Score: 1

    I guess they didn't say it was useful fusion so I guess they could have fused some atoms in a reactor.

  14. Re:and... on Halo 2 Online Preservation Effort Ends · · Score: 1

    Why not design the game to scale with the hardware available? Yea, it'll take time to develop but the end results are better than sticking to either end or the middle.

  15. Re:Off-topic: Your favourite free games? on Microsoft Clears MechWarrior4 Free Launch · · Score: 1
  16. Re:Robotics improving our lives on World's Fastest Robot Versus the Wiimote · · Score: 1

    There are many server admins that would disagree.

  17. How much is the Other OS worth? on Sony Refuses To Sanction PS3 "Other OS" Refunds · · Score: 1

    I wondering how they came up with the £70 amount. The PS3s with OtherOS were retailing for about $400, so that's about quarter the price. Sony might be better off buying back the PS3s than offering a partial refund since people might be less inclined to get rid of the PS3.

  18. Re:So... on After 27 Years, a New High Score For Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Movie with similar plot
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087597/

  19. Re:Though I should have done this a while ago... on Google Gives the US Government Access To Gmail · · Score: 1

    If they subpoena the data on your server would you refuse and go to jail?

  20. Re:Video on Wikileaks Releases Video of Journalist Killings · · Score: 1

    Don't think the civies signed it so we can ignore it. It's the rules of war but this is only a conflict.

  21. Re:I think the answer is clear... on Disputed Island Disappears Into Sea · · Score: 1

    +1 Lost reference

  22. Re:Local Sea Level Rise??? on Disputed Island Disappears Into Sea · · Score: 1

    If the island is located at the mouth of a river, the river might have an increased flow now, raising local sea levels.

  23. Re:health insurance is like auto insurance now on House Passes Massive Medical Insurance Bill, 219-212 · · Score: 1

    I don't know why there's a downward trend since the debt was decreasing compared to GDP growth between 1950 and 1980. This is why I felt the graph was misleading. Of course, INAE. Seeing as we're in a credit crunch, I would think the M1 would be low. Not much money moving around.

  24. Re:health insurance is like auto insurance now on House Passes Massive Medical Insurance Bill, 219-212 · · Score: 1

    That graph is misleading. Since we hit this recession delta GDP would be small, if not negative, and the stimulus would increase delta debt by a large amount. The graph itself doesn't really say much, just a way to twist the data to make it look extra scary.

  25. Re:health insurance is like auto insurance now on House Passes Massive Medical Insurance Bill, 219-212 · · Score: 1

    That's why you need the public option to compete with them. Have the public option be the basic package and if you want more, you get one from a company. If the companies charge too much people will decide that the public option gives the better benefits per cost.
