    I'm not positive, but I think that was nation-wide.

    Is it just me, or does the passenger seat look very different from the driver's seat?

  5. Re:Why these things get modded down on RIAA Threatens 15-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    Even if she was telling the truth, ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. Try telling the next cop that pulls you over that you didn't know the speed limit...

    All that over an extra letter? Sounds to me like someone's compensating...

    So you honestly think that she didn't know that getting music for free (and don't try to tell me she never realized that everybody else has to buy it) instead of paying for it was illegal??

    If she's that dumb, then let Darwin take it's course.

    "you only need about 24880 more"

    No, with diffusion you'd need a LOT more than that. If memory serves, you'd need millions, and even then you'd likely not see results.

    That comment was f-ing hilarious! Thanks for making me waste my soda. Oh, and you owe me a keyboard.

    Yeah. Assuming you could get it's teeth off your crotch long enough, and then get it far enough away to kick it.

    Oh. Forgot to mention that it tends to overlap the AEE show.

    While most of you geeks may not be familiar with the nomenclature that is AEE, it stands for Adult Entertainment Exposition. Whole-body rubbers available for an extra fee.

    Nah. I'd rather go the the CES show in Las Vegas. Free to get in, and WAY more exciting.

  14. Re:Democratic intersections? on Traffic Light Switcher Makes Critics See Red · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure about that. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've flicked my brights at some lights and had them change to green even though it was not my turn to go.

    Maybe I should pay more attention to my test criteria, but others in this thread have also mentioned the same.

  15. Re:Democratic intersections? on Traffic Light Switcher Makes Critics See Red · · Score: 1

    Of course, you *could* just flash your brights to change lights. How much does that cost?

  16. Re:Democratic intersections? on Traffic Light Switcher Makes Critics See Red · · Score: 1

    True. But would you complain if you were following said rich person?

  17. Re:I want one! on Traffic Light Switcher Makes Critics See Red · · Score: 1

    Definitely true. Works like a charm, but only on intersections that are appropriately equipped. I've noticed that such intersections have a dangling item from the light light itself or from the supporting rod.

  18. Re:That's why Consumer Reports on Are Review Units Better Than Store Versions? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My chief complaint is the lack of breadth in the product reviews. They don't review every model, or even every (or even most) competing products.

    So the review is incomplete, at least to me.

    For example, in the (aged) review on vaccuum cleaners, I beleive that I have purchased one of the better (if not the best) models on the market. Yet CR has never reviewed any machine from the company.

    Also, they do not update their product ratings. If they reviewed a series of toasters in 1997, and that's the latest review, that's all the information you get and you have to go elsewhere.

    Bottom line: They'd have far more of my money (and confidence) if they reviewed more competing products, and kept those reviews up to date.

  19. Re:Wait wait... on Are Review Units Better Than Store Versions? · · Score: 1

    Ok, you make a good point. But what if it happened the other way around? The 17PS, upon review, had a 16" viewable but when purchased it had a 15.7"? Wouldn't you feel somewhat cheated? I know I would.

  20. Re:I just bought a Zen NX... on Dell DJ: Yet Another MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Does the Zen have a propriatary format for MP3s? Can I use it to transfer data files as well?

    I ask these questions because I bought my wife a Sony Mini-disc player and it can't do anything other than play Sony-converted MP3 files.

  21. Re:picture on Dell DJ: Yet Another MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    So if I decide I want to sing or play music (and I really can't, trust me) and people want to pay me for doing so, how exactly do *you* have the authority to decide whether I'm the right artist or the wrong one?

    What if I'm a really big Spears fan because *I like her music*? Who are you to say that it's wrong of me (or the millions of other fans) to purchase her music or go to her concerts, or that her fans have bad taste?

    I call troll.

  22. Re:The overflow from the crappy helps the good on Dell DJ: Yet Another MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    So it sounds like the message is "Keep things the way they are." At least, until you read the rest of the thread.

  23. Re:Surviving the journey on Augmented Astronauts Needed for Deep Space Missions · · Score: 1

    Funny. My interpretation of deep-space is a spot in space that is far away, or take a long time to get to. How is that only one-dimensional?
