  1. Re:GM Must Be Freaking Right Now on Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California · · Score: 1

    GM is releasing the first mass production EV at the same time the US govt. is subdizing charging stations across the country to charge these things. GM isn't freaking out at all - oil companies are.

  2. Re:The leaf is not a hybrid on Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California · · Score: 1

    The gas engine is the power source if you drive over 40 miles without recharging. That's te key concept behind the Volt. You aren't limited by the battery and its recharge time. You could drive the Volt for 100 days straight, only stopping to refill the gas tank, just like any other car.

    you _could_ drive it like any other car, but you don't HAVE to. That's the point of the volt.

  3. Re:The leaf is not a hybrid on Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California · · Score: 1

    what happens when your current car runs out of gas? The volt can have zero gas and still run.

  4. Re:More Info & Dashboard on Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says · · Score: 0

    Fact: global warming is real. Fiction: It's caused by humans. In other news, water is determined to be wet.

    the power source is all electric. The car does not require any gasoline to drive.

    Keep me posted - I'll comp you guys hosting. IMO, games are shit now. All FPS and pretty much cookie-cutters. Lemmings was another great game on the amiga...

  7. Re:The leaf is not a hybrid on Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California · · Score: 1

    The leaf is not a hybrid, the volt is. Seems pretty simple here folks.

    The volt is not a hybrid - it's fully electric.

  9. Re:My Amiga Memories on The Amiga Turns 25 · · Score: 1

    I grew up(basically) at the Slipped Disk in southfield and loved the auctions at the madison heights location. c64 and A1000(original with the signatures under the case lid) is where I cut my teeth. 313 BBS list for the win.

    Rocket Ranger, Defender of the Crown and a ton more. Cinemaware titles were AWESOME!

  11. Re:Dilution? on Facebook Wants Ownership Case Thrown Out · · Score: 1

    yes, it does. You don't dilute percentages, you dilute equity shares by volume.

  12. Re:Statute of Limitations == No Story on Facebook Wants Ownership Case Thrown Out · · Score: 1

    It's from the time when the breach was detected - it likely took several years for this guy's lawyers to confirm the breach was valid and there was a valid suit. Do you think we would be talking about this on slashdot if it hadn't been vetted by his lawyers before going after zuckerperson? In short, your quoting something as obvious as a limitation statute thinking that this is what will undermine the case is ignorant. The lawyers that filed the suit considered that for about 200ms when they first met the plaintiff for coffee.

    epic book. Mod parent up.

  14. Java already does this... on Google TV Announced With Intel, Sony, and Logitech · · Score: 1

    How is this different from the hundreds of millions of installed Java embeded hardware platforms already in the market?

  15. Re:Nothing can beat Apple on OpenBSD 4.7 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The difference between the OpenBSD community and the Apple community is that the OpenBSD folks know what they are doing. I'm not trying to troll here, but Theo is an asshole, and the exact type of person that I want developing my kernel. His know-it-all attitude and demand for "not-created-here" things to gtfo led to the development of things like OpenSSH. I like the OpenBSD coding style and best-practices in addition to how they audit and analyze their code; more than any feature this is paramount in selecting software for us.

    OpenBSD has fewer kernel panics than 2.6.xx.xx and for network tasks has better performance for us.

    Again, kudos to the OpenBSD team for another release.

  16. Re:Good Fix... on New "Circuit Breaker" Imposed To Stop Market Crash · · Score: 1

    Because it adds liquidity. HFT is not the problem and anyone that says otherwise doesn't trade.

    supposedly there is a new revision coming down the pipe that allows multiple channels(simultaneous) and a host of other things.

    Wasn't that google sso (Gaia) code ganked recently? Wonder if it's connected....

  20. Re:Wow on Palm WebOS Hacked Via SMS Messages · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There was an SMS exploit for a version of iPhone OS that would brick it, and just checking with a few people there are some nasty 0-days out there for it. At least you can't turn the Palm into a paperweight from 10,000 miles away...

  21. What do you expect? on SIP Attacks From Amazon EC2 Going Unaddressed · · Score: 1

    Cloud providers focus on scale and volume to make money; quality support doesn't scale well with volume. Why are they quiet? I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't even aware of any issues.

    ummm.... this was done 40 years ago. Why can't we do new?

  23. I understand why MS is doing this... on Microsoft Refuses To Patch Rootkit-Compromised XP Machines · · Score: 1

    Provided they[MS] provides doco on how to remove the rootkit, I don't take issue with this. This is similar to MS testing a 3rd-party developers product to make sure it works, when in the marketplace it's the job of the 3rd-party shop. Somehow I doubt the rootkit devs are going to get their kit validated by MS as a certified app......
