  1. Re:Scary article at the end of the submission.... on Ford Launches First American Hybrid · · Score: 2, Insightful
    For vehicles over 6K, classify them as trucks, pure and simple. Let their drivers use more gas, roll over more often if they want, and take tax breaks. And ban them from residential streets. Make them stick to the truck routes, including truck lanes on highways. (Heck, maybe even require a truck driver's license to pilot one.)

    This comment is totally elitist, totalitarianistic, and harsh. How about rather than regulating everything you don't like out of existence, just leave me alone? If I want to drive a vehicle that has a higher risk of rolling over, then LET ME. Why do you care if I kill myself? I know what is best for me better than you know what is best for me.

    Because when you roll over, there is a good chance that you'll land on somebody else. What's worse, you'll end up causing a huge traffic jam. I don't care whether you want to kill yourself or not, I just don't want to be there to suffer the consequences of *your* actions.

    Feel free to do whatever you'd like to do to yourself as long as you don't affect other people.

  2. Re:Like it or not, Linux owes a lot to MINIX on More Responses to de Tocqueville Hatchet Job · · Score: 4, Insightful


    It is quite well known that Linus started developing Linux on Minix, before it was self-hosting. I don't see anybody saying otherwise.

    However, the issue is copy-pasting of source code from Minix, not whether Minix was helpful to the development of Linux or not.

    If you really wanted to save TLDs, create a .SEX and force all porn to move to .sex not .com, .org or .anything else... This would free up MILLIONS all by itself...

    I can see thousands of non-pr0n businesses out there waiting for domain names like actual-porn.com, megapornlinks.com, penisdance.com
    to free up. :)
