    Companies that do try to use plant plastic get whined at by the consumers for the most ridiculous reasons. Because it's too noisy? Wow. http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/10/sunchips-discontinues-compostable-bag-do-we-care/

    I guess that leaves Chevy to grab an exclusive agreement with AOL. The Camaro just got better!

    Yeah - it's vaguely got a bluish tint if you look at it in a cup (why I said pretty much clear) not something they could tell by peeking into your gas tank or using a dipstick. The first few times I started sumping a plane before flying, it just looked clear to me.

    dyed? 100LL is pretty much clear... I think you're thinking of agri-diesel (or whatever it's called that they use for farm equipment.

    Quit flogging your meat - you'll go blind.

    Your country is the size of three states (of 50) combined. Your move. :)

  10. Re:Play store not the only source on Google Removing Ad-Blockers From Play · · Score: 1

    That's what I love about Android. It actually feels like a PC in my pocket where I can do whatever.

    Is that a PC in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

  11. Re:Not true. on Ohio Judge Rules Speed Cameras Are a Scam · · Score: 1

    No, really, when I took driver's ed in high school (in the US), they taught us about "stale" green lights and how if it was green when you approached it (you didn't see it go green from red) that it's more likely to change to yellow on you. But don't mind me - if name-calling is how you get your jollies, then by all means, proceed.

    My handbag isn't pink, but the 40 cal full of hollow points in it would stop a gorilla... And that umbrella might be an umbrella sword or a laser or something else equally silly. It is a video game after all...

    I believe you can carry torch style lighters in checked baggage but only in an approved container. I had to get such a case for my zippo as well.

    I do NOT want people up in the air with me (I fly Cessnas) - they drive horribly enough in two dimensions. Unless flying cars are computer controlled, we would all have to move underground due to all the falling debris all the time.

  20. Re:I HATE this on Hacker Faces 105 Years In Prison After Blackmailing 350+ Women · · Score: 2

    It wasn't one instance of it though - it was more than 350 women. If you steal one orange, you'll get a slap on the wrist, you steal a truckload and that's a totally different thing as far as penalty.

  21. Scumbag on Hacker Faces 105 Years In Prison After Blackmailing 350+ Women · · Score: 2

    Guys pretending to be girls on the internet? Say it isn't so... Once upon a time I got involved in some rooms on yahoo (back when they existed and had a sense of community) and made friends with a girl who was a regular there - I'd show for her on cam occasionally - "she" didn't have a cam, but talked on mic (I didn't realize you could use a pitch shifter on it). This went on for a while then "she" started getting bossy about it and I refused to do it anymore. Next thing I know, "she" announces to the room that "she" is a he and he fooled us all. He had been recording the cam stuff and uploaded some videos to some porn sites. Luckily I was pretty much just topless in them and not ashamed of my body, but that was the day I decided no more cam. As to those saying how stupid the women are, I would have no issue flashing my boobs at a girlfriend in person or on a cam - based on the story it seems to me that's how he did it and then kept pushing things to get more and more compromising images of them. I unfortunately am jaded and now assume that most females I talk to online that are into girls are just men.

  24. Re:The latter. on Adobe's Strange Software Giveaway: Goof, Or Clever Marketing? · · Score: 2

    Poor version compatibility? Sure, like many, many other software titles (not just Office), but Photoshop's default when saving is to maximize compatibility. I bought the Production Premium Suite when it first came out (and have used Photoshop since version 3 back in the 90s) and have continued to update as they added features that would enhance my workflow.
