  1. Re:Internet Ban on What Do Court-Ordered Internet Bans Really Mean? · · Score: 1

    You're forgetting that at the moment of the potential phone call, he's not yet convicted. And there's that pesky "innocent until proven guilty" thing...

  2. Re:Better than nothing on Hybrid Cars Don't Live Up to Mileage Claims · · Score: 1

    I own a 2004 Toyota Prius. I average around 45 to 50 miles per gallon so far (about 4000 miles).

    It's certainly not impossible to beat the Prius with an all gasoline car, but the Prius does pretty well against most cars.

    I'm guessing the 31.5 mpg must have taken place in a lot of hills and/or was driven by a lead-foot. I used to own a sports car before this and still drive a bit heavier than I should. Yet I get 45 mpg average even when I'm driving recklessly. However, I'm in a pretty much flat area.

  3. Re:Biased Reporting... on What the Candidates are Running · · Score: 1

    I volunteer with the Green Party. In California almost all of our servers are run with GNU/Linux. We have some sites that are hosted by other companies that may be on different platforms. But we're actively trying to get everything to the GNU/Linux servers.

    We still have way too much Microsoft on desktops and databases, but that's because we have to cater to what volunteers know. We're slowly trying to get that switched over to Free Software solutions as well.

  4. Re:Correct! Also! on Mandrake Linux Gamer Edition · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what HPNA 2.0 is (forgive me), but Half-Life runs almost perfectly in Linux. You can definitely play Half-Life and all its mods in Linux. The only problem is that the menus are a bit slower.

    Oh, and the VoIP with the latest patch still has some issues as far as I know, but I understand crazney is looking into that.

    Check out lhl.linuxgaming.com if you're interested in playing Half-Life and its mods in Linux. It works VERY well. I get performance nearly identical to Windows performance.
