  1. Excuse me? on California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars · · Score: 1

    Can somebody find a real reference to this outside a study? I know it is so much fun to rag on "The government" as well as point and say "ohhh! California is nuts!!!" but seriously all I can find is one pdf looking at data and a bunch of blogs going nutty over it.

    Can somebody POINT to the law in question?

  2. Re:impatience on Auto Safety Tech May Encourage Dangerous Driving · · Score: 1

    Yes, drives me nuts when people tailgate while you are doing 80.

    They don't seem to realize just how hard it is to stop a car at those speeds.

    I try to keep a good distance away from the car in front of me as I have a good deal of respect for the physics of the situation.

  3. Egad! on Researchers Sniff Keystrokes From Thin Air, Wires · · Score: 1

    Time to wrap tin-foil around my keyboard.

  4. Re:That's just bad on State of Colorado Calls Firefox Insecure, IE6 Safe · · Score: 1

    More than likely it is not running off of a desktop.

    Visual Studio tends to embed the project information and that is the information of the developer.

    Still rather bad they had that let the debug information hit the web user.

  5. Re:Three options on How To Keep Rats From Eating My Cables? · · Score: 1

    My cat is not large but takes down rats and small possums.

  6. Re:1984? on False Fact On Wikipedia Proves Itself · · Score: 1

    The Onion loves it when they get mistaken for real news.

    They have said they laugh when they get taken seriously.

  7. Nothing bad to say about Sprint. on Get Out of Sprint Free · · Score: 1

    I have been with sprint for almost a decade and don't have any problems with them.

    Their customer service sucks but for some reason I never had much problem with it.

    Being in southern California the coverage is damn good and the data service is fast.

    During my long commute I stream Internet radio over my phone and it just works.

    I must have just been lucky.

  8. First 3D Browser(s) on 3D Web Browser Draws Lukewarm Review · · Score: 1

    My experience with every "First 3D Browser" I have used over the last 12 years.

    1) Download and go "Ohhh! 3D"
    2) 10 minutes later get bored and frustrated with he interface and uninstall it.

  9. Re:How? on 7th-Grader Designs Three Dimensional Solar Cell · · Score: 1

    Do you like mudkips?

    People still use E-Mail?

  13. Malware on Black Screens For Unauthorized Copies of Windows · · Score: 1

    I wonder when malware will duplicate the look to give them a "Bargain" on a genuine copy of XP.

    "Just give your credit card and for $30 your windows will be legit!"

  14. Re: Inert gas on Digital Storage To Survive a 25-Year Dirt Nap? · · Score: 1

    Yaaaay! Yummy Silica Gel!

    If you are not doing anything illegial then you have nothing to wory about!

    Oh... wait a minute.

  16. Re:Absence of real competitors on Compact Disc Turns 26, Has a Bright Future · · Score: 1

    I am old enough to have used 8-tracks when they were still being released and because of that there are songs I still to this day expect to fade out in the middle and then make a CLICK-CLICK sound before fading back in.

    At this point I only have a copy of the Rutles on 8-track autographed by Eric Idle in my collection.

  17. Cookies. on The Internet Meme Timeline · · Score: 1

    What no $250 cookie recipe?

    2) Make drag and drop to the command prompt work again.

    I had a much longer comment but I have to go reboot all the windows servers here.

  24. Proof videogames cause violence! on CSI Takes On Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 1


    *Beats head against desk*

  25. Loophole on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 1

    Here's what the proposed law says, in a nutshell:

    Every consumer analog video input device manufactured in the United States will be, within a year, forced to obey not one,
    but two new copy restriction technologies: a watermarking system called VEIL, and a rights system called CGMS-A (we've covered CGMS-A before; we'll talk a bit more about VEIL soon).


    Well this means we are quite safe...
     
    Nothing is manufactured in the United States.
