  1. Re:The Russians used a pencil on Rear-View Cameras On Cars Could Become Mandatory In the US · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm getting old too, but it seems like oncoming headlights have gotten way too bright when I'm driving.

    Theres no shortage of people running hids in h4 housings that don't understand or care; hids have no high and low beam (this would be controlled by the projector) so they're constantly blinding everyone.

  2. Re:Always dreamed about that... on Japan Eyes Solar Station In Space · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a disaster scenario in that game where the thing would carve a trench through your city?

    Why would you ever take it off?

  3. good luck with that. on Chevy Volt Rated At 230 mpg In the City · · Score: 1

    under the epa fuel economy testing system wasn't the first gen prius rated at 100mpg in their lab, but in the real world its somewhere in the 40s.

    3. THE cake is a lie.

  9. Re:Next time . . . on Mars Winds Clean Spirit's Solar Panels Again · · Score: 1

    skip the solar panels and go for an RTG.

  10. Re:Details up front on New Energy Efficiency Rules For TVs Sold In California · · Score: 1

    Nearly anything you plug into the wall has a power consumption rating on. However instead of a big yellow sticker on the front saying it will save you $5 a year on your electric bill its on the back and its measured in watts. Shocking no?

  11. entertain the idea of open sourcing on Blizzard Answers Your Questions, From Blizzcon · · Score: 4, Insightful

    we will entertain the idea of open sourcing our old stuff if you can overlook our horde of lawyers that will go after you should you want to run open battle.net or depart from our draconian eulas on all our games.

  12. Damn. on MS To Finally End OEM Licensing For Windows 3.11 · · Score: 1

  17. Per seat licensing? on In Soviet US, Comcast Watches YOU · · Score: 1

    I think its much more likely they will roll out some sort of per seat licensing, then should you have guests over and exceed the number of licenses they just shut it off.

  18. the futurama reference... on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 1

    At least the penguin preserve on pluto is safe...

  19. Re:photovoltaics on Electric Cars to Help Utilities Load Balance Grid · · Score: 1

    your power meter will roll backwards if you start producing more energy than you consume and the utility has to pay you the going rate for the energy. problem is unless you have a couple of acres of panels dont expect to see alot of $$$

  20. Big Brother at work? on Sprint's Wireless Broadband - And What A TOS! · · Score: 1
    Quoted from there TOS:

    8.1 You understand and agree that Sprint's network gathers information about internet usage such as the sites visited, session lengths, bit rates and number of messages and bytes passed. Sprint uses this information in the aggregate. Sprint may share this aggregated information with other parties from time to time. Sprint will not use or disclose any personal identifiable information regarding internet usage unless compelled by a court order or subpoena or You consent to the use or disclosure or to protect Sprint's Services and facilities.


    Comforting to know your ISP would openly sell your info (anonymous or not). Then again maybe they all do, it's been a while since I've read a TOS.

    I'm sure the activity from the 8 computers on my DSL line would be raising a few eyebrows.
  21. Re:New file systems on Copy Protection Galore · · Score: 1

    Im sure you can block out this area of the drive. Maybe an electro magnet or put a nice little scratch where the info is on the drive. Then again if you have access to some hd milling equipment and a cleanroom get that extra meg back.
