  1. Re:Finally! on Researchers Develop Biofuel Alternative To Ethanol · · Score: 1

    You insensitive clod. I pay $.20 less than you, but achieve no better than 20 mpg. Say you average twice the fuel economy I do, you aren't paying twice what I pay. Subaru STI by the way, this car is geared so ridiculously low that I'm hitting 3200 rpm at 75 mph in 6th..

  2. Other organs? on Kidney Printer · · Score: 1

    I might be interested in a liver in 30 years--Government based IT work is enough to drive anyone to drink.

  3. Re:I sort of hate people that buy these... on Intel's New Core I7-990X Extreme Edition Tested · · Score: 1

    Obviously it goes towards being able to say "I have the best/most" Some people will even admit this is important to them.

  4. That would be a scary thing to test on Quadruped CHEETAH Robot To Outrun Any Human · · Score: 1

    Figure it probably weighs >300lbs traveling at a high rate of speed. Unfamiliar with the pre-programming of it but what happens when it hits something or someone?

  5. Finally I can sleep! on Erdos' Combinatorial Geometry Problem Solved · · Score: 1

    Showing absolute ignorance here, but anyone else think the "polynomial ham sandwich theorem" sounds like it was perhaps concocted by someone overweight?

  6. Re:Can the car parts spammers be next? on Google's Fight Against 'Low-Quality' Sites Continues · · Score: 3, Funny

    Same can be said for searching for computer part numbers i.e. a replacement laptop cd-rom. If it wasn't true, this could be considered a computer analogy to explain a car situation.....

  7. Re:Australians invent first time machine! on Australia Bans New Mortal Kombat · · Score: 1

    That list reads like a list of games I want to be playing!

  8. Famous uploaders on 100 P2P Users Upload 75% of Content · · Score: 1

    I think one of the 100 was named AXXO....

  9. 200 Mbps on Smart Grid Brings Powerline Broadband Back? · · Score: 1

    Sounds pretty good to me, when can I benefit from this in the good ol' USA? p.s. "evicdence" was pretty rough.

  10. Re:This would only increase engine wear. on Ford To Offer Fuel-Saving 'Start-Stop' System · · Score: 1

    A bit pedantic, but the 2009 Toyota Corolla recommends 0w oil, and it can't be the only car.

  11. Re:6950 -- 6970 on AMD Radeon HD 6950 Can Be Unlocked To HD 6970 · · Score: 1

    "No one knows what torque is, but this has 144 of them." -Jeremy Clarkson

  12. Title Threw Me for a Loop on UK Man Prevented From Finding Chipped Pet Under Data Protection Act · · Score: 2, Funny

    I read this tentatively thinking the animal itself had gone through a wood chipper.

  13. Absolutele truth here. My parents live very near to this situation and have a well. I'm very much concerned for them.

  14. Re:Ski-Free on The Great Operating System Games · · Score: 4, Funny

    NO WAY! er.....I mean you're welcome :)

  15. Ski-Free on The Great Operating System Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I used to stay in from Recess to play ski-free. Never did make it past that abominable snowman....

  16. Which is worse..... on Indian Police Using Facebook to Catch Scofflaw Drivers · · Score: 1

    I assume the majority of these uploaded photos are from other drivers? How is it more dangerous to speak on a cell phone while driving than it is to take a picture of someone while driving. Take a picture of that and get two birds with one stone?

  17. Size on A $20 8-Bit Wikipedia Reader For Your TV · · Score: 1

    No mention of actual storage capacity that I could find...or does it rely on SD cards....or what? Wikipedia is in the Gigabyte range afaik

  18. Re:Excuses on Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says · · Score: 1

    Wow, not sure how I got modded troll. The existance of Global warming does not equate always hotter no matter what. And my neighbors are asshats, how would any of you know otherwise?

  19. Physician Assisted Suicide can save lives on Man Wants to Donate His Heart Before He Dies · · Score: 1

    On topic to an extent: Sometimes knowing you have a viable way out (in this case through physician assisted suicide) can encourage you to prolong your issues and maybe, just maybe, you might make it through.

  20. Excuses on Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says · · Score: 0, Troll

    I love the asshats that cite the winters around PA being cold as evidence that global warming is a myth.

  21. Re:Heading the wrong direction? on DRM vs. Unfinished Games · · Score: 1

    Well said. I like certain products, and I will obtain them in their most convenient pleasant form.

  22. Re:You only need $250,000 on RIAA Accounting — How Labels Avoid Paying Musicians · · Score: 1
