  1. Re:Duh. on The End of the Gas Guzzler · · Score: 1

    You probably don't live in a city where you sometimes have to merge from one highway to the next in a distance so small a 1.8 litre engine would put you in a 60 mph zone going 25 mph. That is an accident waiting to happen. I cringe every time I see a Prius trying to make a merge like that as everyone has to slam on their brakes or swerve out of the way. Such merges were the reason I bought a fast car. I would never buy a car that does 0-60 in 10 seconds because it isn't safe around here.

  2. Re:Sounds just about right for Oracle. on Java 7 Ships With Severe Bug · · Score: 1

    Oracle is an evil corporation bent on world domination. They deserve it anyways.

  3. Computer Speakers declining on Why Your Dad's 30-Year-Old Stereo Sounds Better Than Yours · · Score: 1

    klipsch stopped selling their high end computer speakers. Creative stopped making their high end Cambridge speakers. Logitech peeked out several years ago with the z5500 which they don't sell anymore, their new model is worse.

  4. Re:China, India on Apple Store Employee Attempts To Form Union · · Score: 1

    Yeah, computer hardware and many other things are a lot cheaper in the USA.

  5. Re:How does he do it? on How One Man Helps Keep Game Controllers Accessible · · Score: 1

    He uses an official Xbox 360 controller connected to his device to make it work, so it passes through using the real chips.

  6. Re:Use Bar Tab and Memory Fox on Ask Slashdot: Best Small-Footprint Modern Browser? · · Score: 1

    You can set the amount of memory you want Opera to use in the preferences dude.

  7. Opera on Ask Slashdot: Best Small-Footprint Modern Browser? · · Score: 1

    Use Opera and set the memory cache to use 4 mb. It's about a million times faster than firefox.

  8. nuclear fuel in most corrupt state? on Labor Lockout Lingers At Honeywell Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    Who decided to put the nation's only site for refining uranium for eventual use in nuclear power plants in the nations most corrupt state?

  9. Hell. It's about time. on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Announced for November 2011 · · Score: 1

    Hell. It's about time they get a new engine. But that has to be the most underwhelming announcer trailer I've ever seen. It doesn't get my juices flowing at all. The only reason my pipe burst is because the liquid froze.

  10. Re:This is cool, but not revolutionary... on Auto Industry's Fastest Processor Is 128Mhz · · Score: 1

    I've got a PC with a 350 mhz pentium II with a voodoo 3. It's 10 years old and I use it every day. I had to make a slight fan modification because the cpu fan died though. http://www.eliteownage.com/voodoo3.jpg

  11. ITT noobs complaining about SC2 on Blizzard Unveils Custom StarCraft 2 Game Types, Encourages Map Design · · Score: 0, Troll

    ITT: noobs complaining about SC2 On battle.net: about 1,000,000 players currently playing StarCraft II I think Blizzard knows what the users care about most.

  12. Laundry? on Viruses Tapped To Create Spray-On Batteries · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What happens when you do laundry?

  13. Re:HD 10180 on Richest Planetary System Discovered With 7 Planets · · Score: 1

    I'm only going if it supports 120hz and 3D.

  14. looks and simplicity over function on Nokia and RIM Respond To Apple's Antenna Claims · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Apple has and always will be a company that prioritizes looks and simplicity over function. It's the same reason their products have almost no user options. They are too complicated. They force you to use the product the way they want you to.

  15. Re:Eggs came first. I've been saying that forever. on The Chicken May Have Come Before the Egg · · Score: 1

    But if the chicken evolved from the dinosaur, wouldn't that be a dinosaur egg that the first chicken hatched from since a dinosaur laid it. Which could be different than the eggs the hatched chicken lays.

  16. Everyone has Ideas, make an Indie game on Best Way To Sell a Game Concept? · · Score: 1

    Anyone can come up with an idea. There have probably been people with the same idea you came up with, there are probably already games out there using your idea. There is no way you are going to be able to sell the concept to anyone. You can develop it into a game and sell it to a publisher or on the market yourself. You aren't going to be sell a game concept alone. The idea of it is quite humorous.

  17. Re:No limits? on Students Flock To GMU For a Degree In Video Game Design · · Score: 1

    Most colleges limited the number of students they accept into their program, but they take as many as they can get. College isn't free here, so the more students they take the more money they get.

  18. ZERG!! on NASA Expands Role of International Space Station · · Score: 1

    How do the Zerg fly in space?

  19. lol the video on New Russian Weapon Hides In Shipping Container · · Score: 1

    lol at the super lengthy youtube video to go along with it. Also it's just more ways for terrorist type countries/organizations to put civilians in the line of fire.

  20. I am a supertasker on "Supertaskers" Can Safely Use Mobile Phones While Driving · · Score: 1

    I think it is safe to say I am a supertasker. I have over 100 APM in StarCraft 2 and am ranked 3rd in Platinum ladder. I have 4 monitors connected to my PC and use them all at the same time running many programs, viewing many pages etc. I still try to avoid phoning while driving though.

  21. Missing standard daily browsing test on Web Browser Grand Prix · · Score: 1

    What this article fails to test is standard daily browsing. It only testing fresh loads in a clear cache. I visit the same web pages frequently, just like everyone who browses the web. They need to test the speed of the browsers like this. How long does it take to load the same page a day after you went there? How long does it take for a page to load when you hit the back button? What they tested doesn't cover very much of real browser use. Another fun test would be how long it takes users to physically navigate to pages they visit. But it would be much harder to get scientific results like this.

  22. Re:Step 1. on Health Insurance When Leaving the Corporate World? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, compared to the 2 worst off US cities Toronto isn't so bad....

  23. Re:Typical Customer Service Department attitude on Woz Cites "Scary" Prius Acceleration Software Problem · · Score: 1

    A lot of places have a FAQ and some sort of system like that online and you will even get told that when you call their helpline. I usually check online before I call in and they'll tell me to do exactly the same thing I just read on their website. Then I tell them I already did this, or if they are assholes and say do it anyways I just pretend to do it again until they say your product appears to be defective we will send you a new one. A problem is that sometimes you can't get online (sometimes because of the problem you are calling about).

  24. Opera Easter Egg type /. for slashdot.org on First Beta of Opera 10 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    just type /. in the address bar :)

  25. Depends on the season, when did they ask? on Is Your Mood a Result of Where You Live? · · Score: 1

    I live in Minnesota and I am happier in the summer when i can look outside and see green leaves. The winter can be ugly in the city.
