  1. Re:So what about trucks? on White House Issues New Gas Mileage Standards · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Learn what an average means. Other vehicles in the fleet will have to get higher MPG to balance it out.

  2. Like Smelly Kids Do on Beijing Sweetens Rubbish With Giant Deodorant Guns · · Score: 1

    This is like when people smell horrid after they come out of the gym full of other horrid smelling people, have somewhere to be and just take a cologne bath.

    When you do that it just smells like the bathroom after someone comes out waving their spray can.

    For America!

  4. Re:4G only on Sprint Unveils HTC Evo 4G Super Phone · · Score: 1, Redundant

    No, it drops back to existing standards. If you understand the tech specs in the article it is pretty obvious. Do you think when 3G came out that phones ONLY worked on the few towers that supported that specific standard? No way!

  5. Re:One flaw... on Sprint Unveils HTC Evo 4G Super Phone · · Score: 5, Funny

    What? That doesn't even..I can't...you...

    HDMI is a plug. Youtube has a matter replicator in my house now?

  6. Amazing on Sprint Unveils HTC Evo 4G Super Phone · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I, for one, welcome our new HD Video Recording, 720p over HDMI, kick stand in the back, 4+" screen, snapdragon processor having, 4G blazing, media center staple overlords.

  7. Re:Location on Switzerland Passes Violent Games Ban · · Score: 1

    With this new thing called the "internet" I hear you can buy something and they will just mail it to your house.

    Pretty awesome.

  8. Re:Dummy! Take the money and Run! on Novell Rejects "Inadequate" $2B Takeover Bid · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yahoo! of course! Don't you agree!

  9. Re:Non-Story? on YouTube Was Evil, and Google Knew It · · Score: 1

    Perhaps that came after they discovered: 403: Evil Forbidden

    404: Evil Not Found

  11. Re:Something I wondered about Google on Google Makes $500M a Year On Typos · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, that would mean they were making Google money. They get the advertiser's money. They hold it (accruing interest) and do not release it all until the recipients of the funds have reached preset limits for payment. Google is paying out very tiny amounts of money in these cases in varying time frames all the while collecting interest on the funds. A second added benefit is exposure and free advertising of their adwords service.

  12. HTC Hero on Nexus One Update Fixes 3G, Adds Multitouch · · Score: 2, Informative

    My Sprint HTC Hero phone uses multi-touch in the browser. Same pinch gestures the iPod Touch had me accustomed to. :)

  13. Re:No, thanks on Ultracapacitor Bus Recharges At Each Stop · · Score: 1

    I third this, I have never, EVER seen burning cars on the side of the road.

  14. Re:Tough Shit. on Student Loan Interest Rankles College Grads · · Score: 1

    Show me the last person who helped design advanced chip architecture who didn't have a degree...you will never, ever, get hired to do that without one. My field won't even let you work without a degree and board certification, and you still have to practice under someone until you have enough experience.

    Sure they don't...

  16. Re:STUPID STUPID STUPID..... on '09 Malibu Vs. '59 Bel Air Crash Test · · Score: 1

    You can pry the 1969 Pontiac Firebird and those beautiful classic GTO's out from under the pile of protesters. I'll be right there protecting our automotive heritage.

  17. Re:it makes sense on Depression May Provide Cognitive Advantages · · Score: 1

    Or the bullet with butterfly wings.

  18. Re:Who is running Nielsen anyway, Leslie? on Nielsen Struggles To Track Modern Viewing Habits · · Score: 1

    Back when I had my Time Warner DVR I just set it to record the full season of all shows that I enjoyed. That way I could rewatch them later, if I happened to be out later than expected I wouldn't miss anything, etc..

  19. Re:Very Easy on FairPort Accused of Faking Network Readiness Test · · Score: 1

    In their defense (WorldCom) they were basically given marching orders by their executives to make the books "work". Brave auditors and accountants risk their careers to blow the whistle on crooked companies.

  20. Easy! on How To Prove Someone Is Female? · · Score: 1

    Easy.

    Step 1: Pull Pants down.

    Step 2: Look.

  21. Re:the list Before a karma whore can... on The Myth of the Isolated Kernel Hacker · · Score: 1

    Other than 13-15 the rest all are ones I already imagined.

    This is not surprising like the bad summary led me to believe.

  22. Re:Can they do anything wrong? on StarCraft II Single-Player Details Revealed · · Score: 1

    As someone who was very high ranked Warcraft III player up until about a year after TFT came out (at which point I stopped playing), I found the increased focus on micromanagement and unit preservation a nice change of pace from Starcraft.

    Warcraft III was a different breed of RTS, really refining the concepts of heroes from franchises like Warlords: Battlecry and making them a central focus without being the entire focus of the battle.

    I can understand why some people prefer the value of units being lower, but larger and more forward looking movements appealing, but personally the intricate battles of Warcraft 3 and the increased need for reconnaissance over Starcraft made it a far more interesting game for me.

    With that said, I still cannot wait until Starcraft 2!

  23. Re:So we still have... on Earth's Period of Habitability Is Nearly Over · · Score: 4, Insightful

    See, we rush to take this as an inevitable conclusion, but we could still be here arguing over illiegal immigration, voting on American Idol, and crying over Soap Opera weddings.

    If we don't try, it won't just happen.

    And to think, we were only 10-20 years away from Cold Fusion....

  25. Data Clouds become more like real clouds on Movable Clouds Migrate To Chase Tax Breaks · · Score: 1

    First data moves up into the massive cloud from all over. Then the cloud moves. Then somebody does a dance of sorts. All our data crashes to the ground. (Erm..this step is reserved for Microsoft's clouds)
