    all our credit went ?

  7. Re:Indie on Warner Music Pushing Music Tax For Universities · · Score: 1

    But I don't download music - what little I find good today we generally buy the disc. Why should I pay $50 a year so somebody else can download?
    Or was it just ISPs associated with universities?

  8. Re:gentlemen: on 40 Years Ago, the US Lost a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    Would that device be an unconventional nuclear bomb?

  11. So Just.... on Telco Sues Municipality For Laying Their Own Fiber · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How do towns set up a municipal electric service without being sued?

    More importantly, how many speeding/parking/jaywalking tickets does this Telco plan to get when passing through town?

    can we see the images in Google Mercury ?
    How about crater level imaging?

  14. Re:Reasonable idea on California Utilities to Control Thermostats? · · Score: 1

    I think thats a fantastic idea - especially if they secured (protected) the always-on service against weather. Here in New England it would be great to be able to depend on the heating system in a power failure and not just rely on the wood/coal stove

  15. Glen Quagmire.... on Giraffes May Be Six Separate Species · · Score: 4, Funny

    Good Morning Baby..... ... ...
    Hey wait a minute, you're not the same giraffe from last night !

  16. Re:DUI laws are just the second coming of prohibit on Breathalyzer Source Code Revealed · · Score: 1

    yeah, but...
    DUI is DUI, and perhaps reckless endangerment is one of the things they try you on (no experience)
    but the poster is right - there are many more things that need to be looked at when issuing a license other than "read this chart"

    Is that what happened in Florida with the 'chads'

  18. Re:Insurance on Dell Laptops Still Exploding · · Score: 1

    Billing the homeowner I think is only done if he/she were told "Do/Don't Do That".
    ie: illegal brush burns and such, not accidents, or arson. The insurance company would have to go after Dell.

    the big beer company in St Louis ?

  20. Re:How about this? on The Science of Bridge Collapse Prevention · · Score: 1

    This should not be modded flamebait - I agree wholeheartedly !

    Its one thing to provide charity to others, but is this the cost/reward to us for doing that?

    No, this is the result of neglect and short-sightedness.
