  2. Re:Not converted on Presidential Candidate Lincoln Chaffee Proposes That US Go Metric · · Score: 1

    A nightmare? 250 other countries have already done this conversion. 95% of the world. Are you saying we are the only ones not smart enough to manage this?

  5. Re:Money Confusion on US Digital TV Switchover Delayed Until June · · Score: 1

    I applied for the coupons, between then and the time they arrived and I set out to buy one I just went and got an HD tv instead.
    The idea of running a second piece of equipment to a tv with not nearly enough inputs, a seriously reduction in picture quality, and the drop in HD tv costs convinced me. I also figure a new LCD tv is more efficient than the old beast I was using.

  6. Re:So... on The Light Bulb That Can Change the World · · Score: 1

    I have had them not work in the garage when it gets to around zero fahrenheit, aparently there are special ones for places that are cold. So there are a few places where they don't work or aren't as good, but for most places they are great. As for the price I have found them on sale and in Wisconsin and Iowa (at least) they have a rebate from the utilities companies. And if you have a farm you can get them free. http://www.we-energies.com/agricultureservices/ene rgyeff/ag_energyeff.htm

    Basically they are trying to dump trash out the window and thought they could reuse the suit.

    You'd think it would at least mention IPv6.

  11. Re:Why Stop? on Lucas To Redo Star Wars In 3-D · · Score: 3, Funny

    We should get Lucas to head up Debian. He does too many release, Debian does too few.
