  3. Re:We know-Oracle swap. on California Should use Open Source and VoIP · · Score: 1

    We can only hope. Any state Govt. that makes a switch of this magnatude would save so much money on license fees that they could do many other important things. Road repair leaps to mind, most states need bridge work and can't afford it, and repair of many road surfaces.

  4. We know on California Should use Open Source and VoIP · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That this is a dupe. On the other hand think of the number of computers owned by the state of California. That's a bunch of license fees for M$ to lose, Win and Office. We can only hope.

    The decision is simple: bang for the buck. AMD always wins that choice. Check other reviews for the best motherboard to go with it and build a real hot rod gamer, or a fast enough web server to need more bandwidth.

    With M$ record on security? Who would trust them? No one reading this.

    For the average click on everything type, it might help some. That would be an improvement.

    Have you noticed the liberals modding my parent down? They can't handle the truth at all. Moore has never told the truth in any of his comentaries and is familiar with it as Clinton was. If his lips are moving he's telling a fib. If Moore's camera is rolling he's distorting the truth.

  8. Re:Clear Channel bashing on Digital Radio With Removable Flash Storage · · Score: 1

    The other thing about Clear Channel that is a major annoyance are the mind numbing commercials. If you listen to one of their stations for three hours, you have heard everyone of that days commercials twice. And they definately cater to the lowest common denominator as to intelligence level.

    Thats best Documentary. It will not and can not be nominated for best picture.

    It fails as a documentary because it is a commentary piece. Just like all propaganda it twists too many truths ta bear any resembalance to the truth. Many of it's claims have already been proven false, by the 911 commision.

  11. Re:Religious Fundamentalism is THE problem on Inside Al-Qaeda's Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    All religions are equal in the fact that their believers are convinced of that religions supriority. Most religions teach tolerance and acceptance of others. There are some people in each one that bastardize the teachings into intolerance and conflict. The Middle East extremists of today, the Christians during the Crusades, are perfect examples. Anyone who uses the words "Holy" and "War" together is going against their own religions basic concepts.

  13. Probably not on Gmail Under Trademark Dispute · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't think I'll invest anything in Google. The mistakes made are too numerous. Their judgement in many areas is questionable. Like improper share distribution, interview timing, forgetting to register Gmail. Is the company being run by idiots?

    In spite of the above I still think it's the best search engine around. Go figure. The product is great and the management team appears to be a thundering heard of dumbass.

  14. Re:Solar + Ocean Water = fuel on Getting Serious About Fuel Cells · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sorry, you have to purify the water first. On submarines this is old tech(very early 1960s). We used fresh water (all distilled from salt water) run through a de-ioniser to produce DI water. Di water is used in the primary reactor loop(no minerals=minimal corrosion) and the oxygen generator. Water going to the oxygen generator has potassium added (it's so pure it won't conduct electricity) then in 16 cells it goes through electrolosys. Hydrogen is dumped over the side and is reabsorbed into the seawater. The oxygen is sotred in banks. The oxygen gerator is nicknamed the bomb. When you have a leak involing oxygen and hydrogen at 3000 psi it goes boom and blows the covers off. The company that made these in the '60s and 70's was Treadwell.

    'Arnold is so beholden to business '

    Like the legislature isn't? Big business donates to both sides, that way they own whoever wins. Federal and large states are all fair game. A state legislature or the Conress is more important than any Governor or even the President. They write the laws and the spending bills, the President or Governor just signs them.

  16. Re:Steering/Control Problem ? on Student Killed Driving Solar Car · · Score: 1

    Any vehicle, traveling over 10 miles an hour, needs a fully functional suspension system. Without it, loss of control is guaranteed sooner or later. I suspect the suspention had limited travel, if any. I was a mechanic and racer for thirty years, I know a bit about handling.

    The first thing I thought of when I read, "low riding" was all the low riders in the Southwest that never go above twenty. You couldn't controll one of those hydraulic beasts any faster on a bet. They are normally rolling road blocks and a threat to safety.

    It just makes it easier to calculate how much they are not making. Since they won't be able to afford any accountants soon, this is really important.
