  1. Re:Idiocy - bluetooth just taking off on Is Bluetooth Dead? · · Score: 1

    In the states finding a BT enabled cell phone is nearly impossible. Verizon, for example, has "no plans to integratge bluetooth" (telephone conversation I had with a tech last month)

    It's a matter of practicality.
    The Department of Blind people spends $0 on R&D.
    The Department of Defense spends...

    Now think again...

    Hmmmm,

    Publisher: Hello. The software you installed on your machine told us that you have unlicensed software running on your system.
    Pirate: Oh, is that so. So your software is spying on me eh? Well then I'll take my 'business' elsewhere.
    Publisher: Thank you, have a nice day. (mission accomplished)

  4. Re:More raids please on Ernie Ball - Model For Open-Source Transition? · · Score: 1

    If your current job makes you "insane with boredom" you should find a more challenging job.

    Other people might find the same job quite challenging.

    Look at what Goodwill industries (http://www.goodwill.org/) is about. They train handicapped people to do tasks that are within their ability. These people work hard to do their best. Many 'menial tasks' are a challenge to them and they step up and do a fantastic job time and time again.

    Nobody is satisfied working below their ability.

  6. Re:DOes it work ? on Honda Crash Detection System · · Score: 1

    Just how sharply can a 6 lane highway turn anyway?

    Perhaps a bigger issue would be how does it handle the knuckleheads who pull in between you and the car you are following. Does it jam on the brakes to re-establish your 2 second following distance?

    The reduction in fatalities would end up a wash. Lives saved from traffic accidents would no doubt be lost due to road rage.

  7. Re:Exactly why printers suck on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    mid- to low-end is generally way closer to "good enough" then the junk at Walmart.

  8. Re:... preemptively shut down the US ... on Bush Orders Guidelines for Cyber-Warfare · · Score: 1

    That would remove all doubt, wouldn't it. But I guess we'll never see that.

    No probabily not, cuz the French and Germans have the recipts! ;-)

  9. Re:Hmm.... on The Handspring Treo In Real Life · · Score: 1

    Seriously?

    If coverage was reasonable you'd have a point.

    Take a close look at the Voice Stream or Cingular wireless coverage maps.

    If your habitat isn't particularly metropolitan then for get it.

  10. The real advantage... on Chrysler Announces Hydrogen Fuel Cell Van · · Score: 1

    So, let me get this right?

    This is a car that produces "soap" instead of exhaust.

    Do you realize how this will revolutionize gearheadding?

    Pull into the gargage, open the hood, give her a tune up.

    Now just revv the snot out of the motor and clean up the mess.

    Improve on that if you dare!
