  1. Re:Utah water supply on Town Expands To Boost Cooling For NSA Data Center · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why do you have lawns then? Having lawns in places that would need a lawn to be watered is a braindead idea.

    Now get off my lawn.

  9. Re:Is this the same 4G that is going to kill GPS f on Obama's Goal: 98% of US Covered By 4G · · Score: 1

    Aside: that scenario would only effects stand-alone GPS devices. Throw in a receiver that can do telemetry off of the 'blocker' towers, and you should be good to go. Sort of like the smartphone approach...GPS, cellular towers, and WiFi are all used to determine location.

    The Black Eyed Peas added Fergie to the mix a few years ago. They were a legitimate hip hop group back in the late 90s...before Fergie and her lovely lady lumps came along.
