    Yes..free is overpriced....

  3. Price of the microdrive alone? on 12GB CompactFlash Cards Coming Soon · · Score: 0

    So instead of buying the mp3 player and removing the 4GB microdrive..why not just buy a 4GB microdrive? How much do they cost?

    So if a group of scientists raised a lobster and kept it away fro being eaten, stepped on, poisoned, diseased, shoved into massively deep ocean trenches and crushed into little tiny balls of lobster meat, whatnot....we would have a monster lobster?!!?

    tomato leaf and potato leaf are deadly??

    in the link, it said that the tomacco itself may be deadly? why?

    that's the first thing I thought

  9. Re:Driver not Available for Comment on Land Speed Record Broken: 0-6,400 in Six Seconds · · Score: 0

    Did anyone see the reports of the Brazilian Formula 1 race? When that Renault got into an accident, the accelerometers in his car recorded 2 lateral hits at about 20G, followed by a third longitudinal hit at 60G. He walked away with only sore muscles.

    Of course these were instantaneous and not sustained accelerations

  10. Re:Safety? on Fuel Cell Car Goes Cross-Country · · Score: 0

    Not to mention that methanol burns clear! So you won't be able to tell that a person is on fire unless they are waving about maniacly. (For example in CART Champ cars, they use methanol and sometimes the car or pit crew will accidentally get doused.

  11. Re:Easy to catch on Security Focus on Cable Modem Uncapping · · Score: 0

    The problem is that when I signed up with ATTBI it was 1500/128 D:U but about 2 months it changed to 500:128 D:U, but the kicker is THEY DIDNT TELL US AT ALL and expect us to pay the same price.

    We complained a zillion times and they finally send a tech out to help. They charged us $50 for that and ITS NOT EVEN OUR FAULT, it's THEIR fault.

    Now that I hear they are thinking about tiered priceing, I have a feeling that capped us as a test. The icing on this foul cake is that When one of us is downloading, the thers are left w/ horrendously slow internet (pinging yahoo yields 1000ms) When we were 1500 down, even if someone was dl'ing we would get decent net speeds.

    Also I think UDP packets are getting dropped because when we ping a counterstrike server we get an ok ping, but when we try to play it's like > 3000 ms

  12. Re:Monitoring users isn't necessarily bad on Consumer Groups Protest SonicBlue/ReplayTV Order · · Score: 0

    I wouldn't say monitoring is necessarily bad. But from what I gather, you loose the freedom to choose whether or not you want to be monitored.

    And the monitoring is not anonymous either (although this is somewhat ambiguous, I think there is an ID tracker of the unit that is sending the information, which can ultimately be traced back to who is using that unit)

    Then why not have the collector in geosynchronous orbit directly above the collector. If it's above our atmosphere it will get the same bandwidth of radiation, but we dont have to goto the moon to install it.

    >being cured for 3 or 7 months doesn't mean being cured for life.

    true but isn't that what pharaceutical companies want? then they can sell you the drug for life!!

    that is correct, THAT - IS - CORRECT! what are YOU doing?

  18. Re:Anime... on Essential Anime · · Score: 1

    That's probably because your watching the sex-crave anime series! :) sersiously, stay away from that tentacle/penis stuff and watch Lain if you want to see a female anime character portrayed in a different light. I'm at episode 10 and even the dubbing is bad (makes the dialogue REALLY slow) the sotry is good enough to put up with!

  19. Re:I wonder... on Final Fantasy IX Pics And Info · · Score: 1

    Dont forget the Wedge and Biggs are also reoccuring characters. Their names taken from Star Wars, of course.
