  2. interested but waiting on Electric Cars: Drivers Love 'Em, So Why Are Sales Still Low? · · Score: 1

    I'll buy the first car that offers 300 miles of range at a reasonable price (i.e. 35k). So basically waiting for that battery commercial breakthrough (i.e. 400Wh/kg density).

  3. Re:Why subsidize? on A War Over Solar Power Is Raging Within the GOP · · Score: 1

    I'm terrified of losing my job, therefore I should get a huge salary increase?

  4. Re:Why? on Why Is Broadband More Expensive In the US Than Elsewhere? · · Score: 1

    Because they don't know any better. When you have nothing to compare to what you have is the best.

  5. Re:Maybe they just don't know? on Ballmer Admits Microsoft Whiffed Big-Time On Smartphones · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine showed me his fancy Microsoft Phone the other day. He proceeds to show me the address book, which I thought was plain boring, and then the map. The phone froze right there. He put it back in his pocket mumbling a "ah yeah it does that sometimes". I don't know what happened next, he probably rebooted it somewhere no one was looking. Rebooting. A phone. Seriously. Some people never learn.

    So when people have a choice, choosing "not Microsoft" seems like a rational choice. Indeed.

  18. Re:Computer modern on Baskerville Is the Greatest Font, Statistically, Says Filmmaker Errol Morris · · Score: 1

    Where can I find this font for Linux? I just love the look of it. I recognise it instantly. Every paper, book or document using that font unconsciously feels of higher quality to me.

  19. OpenGL vs DX on Valve Shares Performance Numbers On Port of Left4Dead · · Score: 2

    I've noticed the different in speed of OpenGL versus DirectX in the past when the first versions of Google Earth came out. You could choose between OpenGL and DX to run the program. OpenGL was very smooth whereas DX's FPS could be counted on your fingers.

    Your car only gets 60MPG going downhill? I've got to release the handbrake a little.

  22. stop breaking things on Fedora Introduces Offline Updates · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with the current system? How in hell is rebooting for update a feature? Stop "fixing" things that aren't broken!
