  1. Re:Model S not T on New Video of Tesla's Mass-Market Electric Car · · Score: 0

    The ironic part is that GM had a great electric car years ago that they destroyed in favor of things like the Hummer.

  2. it is NOT murder... on On Realism and Virtual Murder · · Score: 1

    I mean... they get better, right? So how can it be murder, virtual or otherwise.

  3. Re:Not an inherent cost of Windows on The Hidden Cost of Using Microsoft Software · · Score: 1

    Yup, more or less the way it (should) work.

    That being said I've run into stupid people. One CFO was pissed off that my email system wouldn't let him open an attachment in an email from his 'friend' so he brought in his own lap-top, plugged into our network, used his own email client to pull down the corporate mail and open the attachment. The resulting virus went through the whole network zeroing out any file ending in .doc, .xls, .c, .cpp, etc. Took all night to restore from backups.

    I've also had a Unix (solaris) server be compromised and used to host German DVDs. Nothing interesting, just crap like dubbed versions of "I know what you did last summer".

  4. Hey! Me too! on Has NASA Found the Lost Moon Tapes? · · Score: 1

    I also may or may not have found tapes which may or may not be the Apollo videos.

  5. Re:I've wondered why there are no usb ROM disks on Microsoft To Offer Windows 7 On USB Thumb Drives? · · Score: 1

    There are. Or at least a lot of flash drives have a write protect switch that could be soldered closed.

  6. Re:Microsoft, I said NO! on Richard Stallman Says No To Mono · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    He doesn't "have" to other then because of a deep need for attention.

  7. You know what this means? on Milky Way's Spiral Arms Could Not Have Caused Climate Change · · Score: 2, Funny

    It must be the unicorns fault!

    I mean... it cant be us. Right?

  8. WIPO sucks ass crackers. on Domain-Name Wars, Rise of the Cybersquatters · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Cant afford to send a legal team to Sweden? Then you lose. Company I work for had their domain (and thus their company name) taken away, not because it was being misused or anything like that, but because we couldn't afford to go defend ourselves. Now if you go to the domain there's just a diatribe against us full of false claims and BS.

  9. Re:Stop blaming the government and schools... on Middle-School Strip Search Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Um... the child in question DIDN'T bring drugs, weapons or anything of the like to school. Which is kinda the point.

  10. What happens when you drop a penny from the ISS. on Pictures of Kuril Islands Volcano From ISS · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course NASA will deny everything.

  11. Re:RIAA on ASCAP Wants To Be Paid When Your Phone Rings · · Score: 1

    Wait... I have a child?

  12. Cant wait for the sound bites. on US House Democrats Unveil a Health Care Plan · · Score: 1

    Cant wait to hear from people with government provided, free health care, how government provided health care is bad and no one should want it.

  13. Re:How do I get a reasonable level of respect? on How Do IT Guys Get Respect and Not Become BOFHs? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, that will result in you being taken for granted and labeled a failure when you dont produce the same level of results at the same speed next time.

    Use the Scotty principal. Estimate the time needed as three times what you expect, then when it takes you twice as long you're a genius for finishing it early.

  14. Re:Business is about to get better on How Much Money Do Free-To-Play MMOs Make? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is claimed at least once a week, but has yet to be true. Fact is, there's nothing on the market that can compete with WoW.

  15. Re:Prius vs Hummer Report was load of crap on Analysis Says Planes Might Be Greener Than Trains · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So you're saying that all these Prius cars on the street where sold at a 80,000$ loss? Because Toyota recycles the batteries for free and in fact claims to make a profit doing so.

    However, if you really want to drive "green" you wont get a new car but a used econo box.

  16. Based on movies.... on What a Hacked PC Can Be Used For · · Score: 5, Funny

    Based on what I see in movies, they can be used to blow things up, crash alien space ships and steal Sandra Bullocks identity.

  17. Re:I think Microsoft does not get it... on Zune HD Unveiled, Set For Fall Release · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I think Apple does not get it...

    I want to listen to the radio or MP3s. Till Apple puts a 3$ radio in their 200$ MP3 player I wont be getting one.

  18. Good. on Funding For Automotive Fuel Cells Cut · · Score: 1

    Batteries are a better idea then everyone using a local fuel cell. The only reason there was much behind the so called "hydrogen economy" was because companies like the idea of selling fuel of some sort.

  19. Wont help computer science much I fear. on Open Source Textbooks For California · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Ok, I didn't do the whole degree thing. Part of the reason was that I felt what was being taught in the computer science classes was out of date and often flat out wrong.

    Whats more, the teachers over-priced book as required reading and I was given failing grades for correcting the errors in them.

    So long as teachers choose the subject mater, they can choose books that make them money.

  20. Good, then we can get Pandaren on Spurned Chinese Publisher May Create WoW Knockoff · · Score: 1

    If Blizzard pulls out of china we can finally get pandaren in the game, sounds good to me.

  21. Re:Shades of the Sinclair C5 on Segway, GM Partner On Two-Wheeled Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Dang kids today, too lazy to even use Google. Made by the same hairless ape that made the Sinclair computer, the C5 was a little electric trike that was supposed to revolutionize transportation. or not.

  22. Shades of the Sinclair C5 on Segway, GM Partner On Two-Wheeled Electric Car · · Score: 1

    I'm sure this can be at LEAST as popular as the Sinclair C5 was.

  23. Lots of Javascript developers call this "release" on Crowdsourcing JavaScript Testing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Want to get a lot of people to test your Javascript? Call it version one and release it.

  24. Re:More questions on Valve Claims New Steamworks Update "Makes DRM Obsolete" · · Score: 1

    Yes you can transfer software to other steam accounts, so you can sell it. Yes you can play if steam goes down or even if you simply don't have net access, there is an offline mode. But you lose all the steam features such as multiplayer.

  25. Re:Lets boycott the thing I was never gona buy! on Amazon Uses DMCA To Restrict Ebook Purchases · · Score: 1

    Difference is that eBook readers are free if you have a cell phone, pda, computer, etc.
