  1. Hybrids actually work quite well... on Hybrid/Electric Vehicles: Should I Buy? · · Score: 1

    I've never heard anything bad about the hybrids, and they do indeed get good mileage. I've read in multiple car magazines that one of the challenges of the hybrid cars was to treat driving like a game on how good of mileage they could get. I'd probably recommend the new Toyota Prius for its increased room and its geeky look to go along with the geeky powertrain =)

  2. It's already started, and in a very good way on Chic Gear to Suit Net Generation · · Score: 1
  3. Wasn't this the whole point of P2P? on What The RIAA Gets Out Of File Sharing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I remember reading the book All the Rave on the rise and fall of Napster. Shawn Fanning's whole point of coding Napster, according to the book, is to get people sharing and promoting music freely, and the RIAA coming in to use the Napster network to promote their music and to use this new medium like they do the radio. It was basically Napster deep-sea fishing and capsizing because the RIAA didn't agree with their point of view. Now this company is starting to do something similar to Napster's original idea and hopefully the RIAA will ease up on their subpoena campaign, which is rather similar to someone punching random people in a dark room.

  4. Re:Obviously, on Taiwan Under Cyber Attack from China · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's what the trojan's doing without them even knowing it! =)

  5. Re:What will their mascot be? on Microsoft to Build High School in Philadelphia, PA · · Score: 1

    If they were the Windows, they could be the first school in the nation to have a corporate-licensed logo for their mascot!

  6. Re:Done a LONG time ago... on Amphibious Car Beats Urban Congestion · · Score: 1

    I saw this on the news a few days ago. According to the story, older amphibious cars could only 6 or 7mph on the water, but this one, as stated in the article, can reach 30. It's also a convertible to boot. =)

  7. Re:Mt. Washington Auto Race(hillclimb) on Segway Riders Get High on Mount Washington · · Score: 1
    Piesch, now head of Volkswagon Audi Grouppe...


    I'm sorry, but Ferdinand Piesch retired recently from Volkswagen AG. It was widely covered in just about every single car magazine. I know b/c I subscribe to a good portion of them =)

  8. How about... on Might Flash Memory be a Viable Backup Medium? · · Score: 4, Interesting
  9. Sorry, kiddies... on UK to Put Monitors in Every Car? · · Score: 1

    We can't go down to Old Trafford because Big Brother is watching everything I do, comrades.

  10. Re:That box! on G5s Start Shipping · · Score: 1

    How can you be so sure about that one? The G5 currently is running 8 fans I believe in that tower. What makes you think that they will be able to drop this processor into a PowerBook and keep it cool?

  11. From the Rush Limbaugh Show from the other day... on Global Warming To Leave North Pole Ice-Free · · Score: 1

    He talked briefly about this story before a commercial break and asked this question: "If the polar ice caps melt, wouldn't that bring more cool water into the earth?"

  12. Well... on Game Rentals Even Bigger Business · · Score: 1

    "Now, if they could only invent an anti-scratch coating for game rental discs..."

    I haven't heard of one yet, but there's this...

  13. How about... on Addicted Gamers Succumb To Cybercafe Thefts · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Lockers! If people are theft targets at Hong Kong cybercafes, how about selling them a space to keep their valueables? Or...if they don't want their phones stolen, how about a nice pocket in your pants to place it...?

  14. St. Louis... on St Louis Continues Pushing Violent Games Law · · Score: 1

    ...is not in St. Louis County. St. Louis is its own entity. St. Louis County consists of suburban St. Louis.

  15. Re:Dual 2GHz 970s for $2999 on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: 1

    This is perfect for me. I'm thinking about switching to a Mac for college, and this is the perfect time. I can place my order now and have my new system in time for move-in day =)

  16. Re:Piles! on Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup · · Score: 2, Funny
    Things could be worse...Apple could call Piles "Shit"


    "...Man, your OS ain't got Shit!"

  17. You mean... on Black Box in Speeder's Car Helped Conviction · · Score: 1
  18. School Macs on School May Turn Down $43K In Free Macs · · Score: 1

    I'm going here. I'll take a free Mac! And I'll make the switch!

  19. There's a Simpsons quote for everything... on More On Online Game Cheating · · Score: 1

    Groundskeeper Willy: "Ya cheese-eatin' surrender monkies!"

  20. after that... on Bombing the Moon for Water · · Score: 1

    They have to send in Hans Blix and his team of "weapons inspectors" to make sure that the Moonies don't have any WMD's.

  21. Apple & The Beatles on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a settlement between Apple and the Beatles over the Apple logo (eerily similar to the Apple Records logo). One of the settlements out of that case was that Apple would never get into the music business. Could Apple be facing another lawsuit sometime soon?

  22. Where should we really put these hotspots at? on LA Cops get Wi-Fi Drive By Access · · Score: 1

    Why not every Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts location in L.A.?

  23. Re:Are you sure about that pricing? on Instant Concert CDs? · · Score: 1

    Correction: Concert t-shirts are generally $20 at the mall, and in excess of $25-30 at the concert. CD's are generally $20 at the mall, and I think that if these CD's are going to sell the price has to be low.

  24. Configurable Chassis on Review Of GM's HyWire Hydrogen Concept Car · · Score: 1

    The car rides on a new type of platform called the AUTOnomy platform. This was shown last year on the auto circuit. Why has it taken this long to find this one?

  25. Adding problems? on Anime Unleashed on TechTV · · Score: 1
    The block will premiere with single half-hour episodes airing Monday through Thursday at 1am EST, followed by a two-hour block of anime on Friday from 11pm to 2am EST.


    11pm-2am? Isn't that three hours?
