  1. Re:Does not have to BLOCK anything... on Patent Claim Could Block Import of Toyota's Hybrid Cars · · Score: 1

    Currently, Robertson screws are being sold at Home Depot, they are used in decking and such where oxidation is a concern. I thought they were a new invention, and never knew the name. Thank you for enlightening me.

    Their factories are mostly automated, and were built by the US after WWII, so they have less employees and less operating expenses then Ford. They also make much better cars.

    I personally always give someone the benefit of the doubt in online discussion and try not to attribute a emotion to the post, so I didn't think you were upset at all :)

    Did Toyota start making a 4WD Prius and I missed it?

    I'm wondering why everyone is talking about importing. Does Toyota actually still import vehicles? My Camry came from a Kentucky plant. Though, it is unfortunately not hybrid as I could not justify the 12k difference in price.

    They even list the Prius as prior art in the patent, maybe they need to rethink this lawsuit...

    I love my Camry, second one I bought after the insurance company totaled my last one from a fender-bender in a parking lot.

    Our global reputation and relations with the united nations. Consider how much of the crash of the global economy was actually our capitalistic fault.

    Bush didn't understand that we need to work with the world not set an arrogant tone and turn your back against it. Especially when you can't even pronounce nuclear correctly. He took matters into his own hands and led the US to invade another country all because he thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. When I served under Bush Seinor we were there to liberate Kuwait. Correct reasons vs. incorrect assumptions.

    So many of the comments here argue, "he hasn't yet closed GITMO.." "We still have soldiers in Iraq." He didn't put these things in place. He IS taking steps to rectify the crap left behind by the bush. Every time Obama signs another document moving us closer to resolution on any argued point he is accomplishing something. This isn't fast food.

    Will your state house the detainees from GITMO? you want them out but NIMBY them away to somewhere else. WHERE? This has to be negotiated and logistically feasible again taking time.

    If you think you can do a better job, go ahead and run for President. You'll be the first slashdotterian candidate.

    Naa, I don't think I could deal with being president. I was just wondering what it is you think that Obama improved on that Bush screwed up. I was afraid you were going to claim that Obama single-handedly recovered the economy that Bush screwed up (not recovered, Bush didn't screw it up, Clinton did by deregulating, and adding requirements to increase the number of loans to high risks)

    I would have to agree on the International community thing, though I don't agree with many of the things he has done in the mid-east still, but that is his prerogative as President.

    I doubt that now Obama has had the chance to review who is actually in GITMO that he will remove everyone from there. Better to keep those very dangerous people away from the US, in Cuba; at least they can't escape and go on a rampage, they don't hate Cubans.

    Thank you for your well thought out response, I appreciate people not flaming an honest question.

  12. Re:That was fast on FBI Cracks "Largest Phishing Case Ever" · · Score: 1

    I would mainly point out where all those cities you mentioned are...they are north of here, therefore they get more snow. I have driven from MD to Mass, and can say the roads are all about equal, I should actually be driving that trip next week, so I will reassess the roads on this trip. I would however say that the roads to the south of DC should be in much better repair as there is no seasonal frost destroying them, but as I drive and enjoy half the roads mentioned on a daily basis, I will agree that they are repaired rather quickly when damaged.
