I thought what AC liked about/. was that he could troll anonymously...who knew. And as far as backing up my "opinion" take a gander at this ad for their original hp Vectra series giving away a free LaserJet printer with every purchase. It was a shame hp got into the PC business. Until then they were a really good networking and test & measurement company.
hp hasn't been in the PC hardware business for quite some time. When they realized they could adopt the razor model with their printers they dropped their first core business like a hot potato and never looked back. They have never been a serious PC manufacturer despite all the PC's they managed to sell. I knew when they bought Palm WebOS was doomed just like when they bought Compaq.
On the mobile front I agree wholeheartedly but for my at home recreation I completely disagree. The last couple of Modern Warfare single player campaigns frustrated the heck out of me they were so short. For me the games are an interactive novel of sorts. They need a good story to go with them or they are just run around point and shoot over and over. I really enjoyed Resistance, Fall of Man not because it was a great game but because I enjoyed the story of the game. That made it that much more disappointing when I played Resistance 2 only to find out they had ditched the character I had become and started from a completely different arc. That is also why I so enjoy the Mass Effect franchise and how every decision I make effects my game play even in the sequels. I have played through many times to see what my character can become (and who I can hook up with). I can't wait for ME3.
Sounds a lot like MIUI OS. I installed it on my NOOK Color and I really like it. Unfortunately now all the *INSERT NON-ANDROID OS HERE* fanboys screaming fragmentation will in fact be correct.
Unless of course you are talking on one phone and texting on another. I think there should be jail time for this behavior regardless of whether they injured someone.
I think you are looking for a Star Trek reference like Star Trek episode "A Taste of Armageddon" where the captain meets a civilization that dispenses with the nasty bits of war and plays RISK on a global scale. Of course anybody in the affected quadrant is "humanely" euthanized.
Or perhaps you were looking for a more generic reference of the idea like The Forever War?

Given the tone of most of the comments yours is still more relevant.
Damn you! Now I have that song repeating in my head over and over.
Yes somebody can. I nominate Malc.
What r words for anyway?
Burning gas to get its potential energy isn't very efficient period.
You think this idea stinks you should get a load of the theoretical personal methane collection system. I hear it's very effective butt a PITA!
I knew I should have referenced Circuit City instead!
They also removed the coupon for CompUSA.
When even AC is confused about his own post you know /. has lost its footing.
What if I want to sit with my Google+ friends?
Are you suggesting the Chinese government is trying to turn the world population black?

Where do you think Steve got the technology to build such a magical device anyway?

Yet another reason why I still use my RAZR. MUHAHAHAHA!
But are they Whole wheat, saltine, or low sodium crackers?

for sticking with my RAZR! BWAHAHAHAH...
DAMN! I was RIGHT!
Except for one in a locked Faraday cage.
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with David Hahn?
