  2. Re:My 1984 Mercedes 190 goes 600 miles on a tank on Electric Car Nano-Batteries Aim For 500-Mile Range · · Score: 1

    My Opel Vectra goes >600 miles on a 13 gallon tank!

  3. Re:HDMI Cables on Bad PC Sales Staff Exposed · · Score: 1

    But it's true! Even though the signal is the same, the cable itself looks better!

  4. Re:"if you can't beat'em, join'em" on NASA Wants Your Ambitious High-Tech Contest Ideas · · Score: 1

    That was done in Norway a couple of years ago (7-8?). And Malaysia I think, and... oh, guess the idea probably came from the US ;)

  5. Re:Baseline shuttle extension on Future of NASA's Manned Spaceflight Looks Bleak · · Score: 1

    The orbit of ISS will be increased after the shuttles are retired (it's because of them that it's got the current one), which would decrease the amount of orbital decay per year.

    Insightful? - I thought this was rather hilarious!

    Which is also in effect socialism...

    And people are getting agitated about single payer plans?

    Stupid Americans!

  8. Re:Dangerous reading. on Church of Scientology Proposes Net Censorship In Australia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I went the other way... I read the bible and became a non-christian! I've also got the Koran and the Torah in my collection, and I'm not Muslim nor Jew.

  9. Re:I'm with you on this one. on Game Over For Sony and Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Rants like this are not from true Linux people, only 14 year-old wannabes (or Stallman) - but yes, I agree that it might drive the mainstream away from Linux.

    2010 will be the year of "rocket on the desktop"!

  11. Re:Much as I like Slackware... on Slackware 13.0 Released · · Score: 1

    If you PC won't boot slackware, you won't be able to boot ubuntu/debian/etc either

    I've not installed slackware on a single pc the last 2-3 years that didn't have everything up and running without compiling any kernels unless it was related to disk controllers which weren't supported by the kernel in the first place

  12. Re:Slackware is for stability - so why KDE 4.2? on Slackware 13.0 Released · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Uh... Windows? on Nokia Unveils Its First Netbook · · Score: 1

    ...why is another Windows PC considered Slashdot front page material?

    More than 50% of the MS haters here still use Windows, after some kind of epic fail when installing ubuntu!

    The rest of us linux guys? We don't give a s**t about what OS cool gadgets run, as long as we can install linux on it after it's been bought. I want one of those myself, and the first thing I'll do when I get one is install slackware 13!

  17. Re:Missing Details on Xbox 360 Failure Rate Is 54.2% · · Score: 1

    My PS3 has been on 24/7 since launch apart from a few weeks when I've been away on holiday.

    No issues!

    PC has been on 24/7 since December 2004. Only been taken down for upgrades of graphics, ram and HDD. Even less issues!

    The PS3 is just as good as the PC!

  18. Re:Why does everything have to be child friendly?? on Battlestar Galactica Feature Film Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Are you seriously comparing one scene in remake BSG with Saw? The scene you're describing sets the tone for the cylons and what they're willing to do. It's part of the story, it's part of the new show. If you don't like the show, I agree - Wall-E is available on Blu-ray!(Btw - I enjoyed Wall-E, but it's a different story all together)

    And if you want your kids to enjoy something you enjoyed when you were their age, show them the show you saw, and not one made for older audience.

    Why are we _supposed_ to care about other species?

    Because everybody likes a juicy steak!

  23. SD? Is that available still? on Are Console Developers Neglecting Their Standard-Def Players? · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen a new SD-TV for sale since probably 2006. Are people still using them? Come to think of it - I haven't seen one in use either since around the same year.

  24. Another one down the drain on Ireland Criminalizes Blasphemy · · Score: 1

    One less country where I could potentially settle down if I have to relocate.

    My existence in itself would be enough to trigger the blasphemy law.
