  1. Re:Expensive? =/ on Increasing Fuel Mileage With Hydrogen? · · Score: 1

    One would think that your Volvos would get better gas mileage, then.

    That being said, I understand that people in the US commute more and longer than their European couterparts. I, for example, commute more than 40 miles one way to work five days a week. Aside from some of the large metropolitan areas, mass transit is generally not an option for many in the US.

    How exactly does the civic fare on (highway) hills? Are you able to maintain speed, or must you get in the slow lane?

    So what do you think about the French selling Saddam all that military stuff? Don't you think it's a little odd that they're selling him the stuff that could be used to destroy his people or other nations, AND that they've said they'll veto ANYthing the United States puts through the UN Security Council?

    Whoa. Nope, not the least interested now.

    Great, now my bubble is bursted. *sigh*

    Thanks Gleef.

    Fluffer.

    They're the guys who get the porn acteresses 'ready' for their next scene. Yeah, and they get paid too.

    Just watch out for diseases, mate.

    Sounds like they should partner with AOL to piggy-back on their CDs. :)

  9. Re:Warcraft 3 on Helms Deep Battle Recreated In Doom · · Score: 1

    When I first got Doom I installed it on a 386sx20 with 4 megs of ram. The resulting crappy gameplay was what introduced me to my first 486. So in my opinion, yes you do need at least a baseline 486 to enjoy doom.

    You can get 20 2GB drives for $30? Hook a brutha up!

    WTF are you doing to your backup CDs, anyways? Hell, I've used the same set of CDs to backup up my systems for almost 6 months, and have never had a problem.

    Ya just gotta be a little more careful, dude, and not use them like frisbees.

  12. Wish list on Sony First To Market With Blue-Laser DVD Recorder · · Score: 1

    How about DVD rewritables that have an unwritable partition on them holding commercials?

    If marketed correctly, perhaps the blanks would be free...

    I would urge you to state actual real-world examples. Otherwise, you'll appear to be spouting the opinions of others and not your own.

  14. Re:positioning for the opposite sex! on Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self? · · Score: 1

    Nah, probably not. Because every last one of them will think you're gay. AND you'll get beat up because all the other guys will pick on you.

    So maybe not the best idea...

    Um, he said just ONE thing.

    Well...I guess that would work if you told your 12-yr-old self 'Look underneath your bottom drawer for a whole list of things you should do/not do.

  19. Re:no big box - get a projector on Whether (And When) To Buy HDTV? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but projectors are WAY more expensive than the equivelent TV. You absolutely have to factor in the lumins when selecting a projector, unless you're lucky enough to have a room that's completely light-free. Oh, and don't forget to add in the cost of the screen.

    An added benefit is the size of the screen, if you have a large enough room. I have a cheap Sharp that I use to watch movies at night (only 600 lumins) and the screen's about 7ft x 9ft in normal (haven't measured in letterbox) mode.

    Say you have a skylight in your house, and it's open. This guy drops a rope through the skylight, hangs by the rope, and takes pictures of your credit card statements and bank statements.

    Wrong.

    That crazy talk. Say a guy was really good at taking people's wallets. He gathers up between 2 and 5 million, but gets caught before he can use any of the stuff in them. He didn't really do anything wrong, right? He's just misunderstood, right? I'm sure he's not a bad guy...
