  1. Re:Windows Search 4.0?! on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Another fun indexing "feature" I experienced is uTorrent would stop downloading files at about 2-5% and complain that the files were in use by another application. When I turned off the indexing service this went away.

  2. Faraday anyone? on MIT Team Creates Shock That Recharges Your Car · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about cutting out the hydraulic middle man and just have a coil of wire on the shock moving through a magnetic field?

  3. Re:Frist Post! ...expires on DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War · · Score: 1

    DRM is there to stop casual piracy. Everyone knows that everything can be cracked. The software companies only hope to stop those not savvy enough to know what a .torrent is.

  4. Re:Exactly on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 1

    You certainly can activate your DSL over the phone, I know because the installer crashed half the time in Windows, and I had to call Verizon to activate. (I've done 100's of DSL installs)

  5. Re:I hope this helps this problem on FTC Kills Scareware Scam That Duped Over 1M Users · · Score: 1

    Wait, you mean you didn't turn off UAC the second after you logged into Vista for the first time?

  6. Re:Metallica did the same on Paul McCartney Releases Album As DRM-Free Download · · Score: 1

    No one cared because it was an obvious marketing gimmick attempting to win back the fans they pissed off.

  7. Re:Boot times have never been an issue for me... on Boot Windows Vista In Four Seconds · · Score: 1

    You must have never experienced the rocket ship that is V92.

  8. Beaters rule on Ford To Introduce Restrictive Car Keys For Parents · · Score: 2, Funny

    Best advice for a concerned parent: buy a POS for your kid's first car. A 3 cylinder Geo Metro comes to mind, this way they will be too embarrassed to showoff, and wont be able to drive over 60 let alone 80.
