  1. Re:Insurance a good value? on Options For a Laptop With a Broken Screen? · · Score: 1

    Because it'd have no chance of getting funding. Because of the Hindenburg any airship using hydrogen is going to seem to have hugely inflated risks associated with it, probably near impossible to overcome no matter how much you show that it won't happen again.

  3. Re:Their own data shows Chrome is faster, not IE.. on Microsoft Says IE Faster Than Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 2, Informative

  4. Their own data shows Chrome is faster, not IE... on Microsoft Says IE Faster Than Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 2, Insightful
