    It is the US' fault. Who do you think trained the Afghans to be terrorists in the first place. The US did to fight the Russians...

    You know, I really expected Bush to find Osama in the last week just before Obama took over....

    This morning President Bush announced that he had located, and captured Osama Bin Laden, personally. The President has been quoted as saying "What do you know, he had been hiding in my pool's Bungalow in my back yard all this time...."

  10. Re:Five years!? on Just One Out of 16 Hybrids Pays Back In Gas Savings · · Score: 1

    What does the warranty explicitly cover in regards to the batteries? I am interested.

    All I can find is that they have warranties on the batteries, with one reference to manufacturing defects, not normal battery wear and tear.

    Top gear reviewed the Prius, said it was rubbish.

    They drove it (if I remember correctly) 100 miles from a country town to the city. It had worse fuel economy than a diesel, and they said that it is a danger to children and pedestrians, because when it is running on the electric motor, you cant here it coming...

    After 100,000 miles the Most Hybrids are out of warranty.

    $3000+ when the batteries need replacing, did you factor that cost?

  14. Re:Well..... on Just One Out of 16 Hybrids Pays Back In Gas Savings · · Score: 1

    Depends. Hybrids would logically have a higher resale value

    Not necessarily. Once out of warranty will be $4000+ to replace the batteries. And what does the warranty actually cover? Does it cover general wear and tear? Or only "failures"?

  15. Refund? on DRM-Free Game Suffers 90% Piracy, Offers Amnesty · · Score: 1

    Are the supposed 10% that bought the game, going to get a partial refund? Seems like a bad idea for future customers. Buy our game at full price, pirates can get it at a massive discount.

    Seem to encourage piracy, or at least not buying the game initially: I didn't pirate the game, I am just waiting for the pirate amnesty.....

    Yeah, are they invading my privacy?

    But seriously, I agree. How do you measure a negative?

    The music industry blames piracy for loss of sales, but fails to acknowledge that people have more options for home entertainment these days. They may not be spending money on CD's, but may spend a shit load more on DVD, BluRays, Games, etc. I remember back to the 80's: according to the industry, computer games were expensive due to piracy. Commodore 64 games were $30AU. When the Amiga 1st came out (day 1) , games were $70AU. Even though no one had an Amiga, which means Piracy was non-existent.

    I could make a games, sell 1 copy, and then claim that 9 million copies were pirated. You cant prove it wrong.
