  1. Re:Cost to convert? on Straw Converted to Gasohol in Canada · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, some DaimlerChrysler cars (my parents' minivan) have a little sticker that says it can run on E85. The interesting thing is that E85 which is 85% etanol can be purchased in corn-towns in Minnesota cheaply. E85 and %10 must be subsidized in rural MN. /I wouldn't put E85 into my Golf IV but I do use the subsidized %10 ethanol mix.

  2. Like Eazy E's 64 on Ford Shows Off Recyclable Car · · Score: 1

    Eazy E had a song about a recyclable car:
    "Now I'm rollin' hard now under control Them wrapped tha '64 around a telephone pole I looked at my car and I said,"Oh brother!" Thrown in the gutter and go buy another"

  3. How about a desktop compost bin? on My Compost Bin And I · · Score: 1

    First off, composting is great, I compost all my leaves, yard waste, non-meat food waste, dead plants, etc. However, what I really need is a desktop compost bin for my tea bags and spent loose leaf tea.
    That would go great with the tree on my desk. Any ideas on how to produce enough heat with a small enough container to put on ones desk?

  4. Tagging on Voluntary Sponsorship of Linux? · · Score: 1

    I tag sidewalks with Peace Love Linux.
    hehe

  5. But it's still an SUV on Souped Up Mods for a Souped Up Vehicle? · · Score: 1
  6. Re:It's all Human Nature on Cradle to Cradle · · Score: 1

    Yes, Human nature is the problem. For many it's human nature to drive HUGE Stupid Usless Vehicles, build McMansions on swamps in surburbia, and drive 30+ miles to work. Idiots!

    I have a 1000 sq foot house in the city and drive my VW 3.9 miles to work. My fiance walks to work from our house.
    Also, I compost everything I can, recycle everything I can, and we only have one 13 gallon bag of garbage/week.

    Am I a better than the average consumer? Probably, but I'm also a lazy and cheap bastard.
    Simplify people, simplify!

    Also, has anyone else notice the positive corelation between satellite dishes and houses that need painting?

  7. Re:$40 Billion = on Microsoft's $40 Billion On Hand · · Score: 1

    Enough cash to buy the U.S Justice System. hmm that's about right.

  8. THPS3 and evil marketers on Good Games For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    My problem is that Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 does not come out for the PC until March 2002. It is out for the playstation NOW. So the choices are: Buy a PS2 and submit to evil marketers or wait. Waiting is difficult.

    Well, maybe they will actually have internet play and make the game stable this time. Unlike...... THPS2

  9. Go the sysadmin route on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1

    That sounds much like me. I found programming mind numbing and didn't find the rewards in it that many of my friends did. That is why I went the sysadmin route. Now I have what I like to call the "Gray Area" where I can read /. keep up on current events, and hang out.

    And remember college is a bunch of shit for a piece of paper that says you can take that much shit. 90% of it is worthless crap

  10. Re:Yahoo on Yahoo Serious Fights Yahoo! trademark · · Score: 1

    Or is this one Serious Yahoo?

  11. Only If... on The Joys Of Losing Your Cooling Device · · Score: 1

    I wish my Pentium processor was big enough to cook bacon on, Then I'd never have to use my stove.

  12. The real question on Microsoft Appeals Anti-Trust to Supreme Court · · Score: 2, Funny

    The real question is:

    Does Bill Gates own any oil companies? If so, He's got all the buddies in Washington DC he'll ever need.

  13. Oh Well..... on Dell Drops Linux on Desktops and Laptops · · Score: 1

    If you can't figure out how to put in a Linux CD Rom, reboot and click a couple keys, you probably shouldn't run linux anyway.

  14. Re:www.boycottadobe.org on 'Free Sklyarov' Protests Scheduled · · Score: 1
    hmm maybe Adobe threatened to sue http://www.boycottadobe.org

    It does include the word adobe in the URL.

    Plus Adobe's lawyers need something to do.

    Yes, the new new economy: Why earn your money when you can sue someone for theirs.

  15. Seems stable on Netscape 6 Is Out (Really!) · · Score: 1

    Netscape 6 seems stable to me. I've been using it for about an hour without a crash on winblows 98. My only complaint is that it does not give keyboard shortcuts in Composer.
