  1. Re:I must be new here... on Not All the DOJ Missing Emails Are Missing · · Score: 1, Informative

    The only crime in the Lewinsky case was lying about it under oath. There is no federal law against oral sex or infidelity.

  2. Re: '100 percent' of Toyota's cars on Toyota Going 100% Hybrid By 2020 · · Score: 1

    Hybrids are much more usefull for trucking than personal cars. The technology is after all originally developed for trains and busses.

  3. Re:All Cars or Trucks Too? on Toyota Going 100% Hybrid By 2020 · · Score: 1

    You don't get stuck in traffic on a bike. Not even in bike heavy cities like Beijing or Copenhagen. You can also convert to a pedestrian, or safely break a few traffic laws, if things get messy. A major crash with 3-6 bikes doesn't even fill a lane, and you can just ride around it.

    Women doesn't need testosterone to enjoy being annoying.

    I assume that's a rhetorical question?

    No it's a Zonk question. There is a difference.

    Well, how common are school fires?

    I think statistically they are in the same neighborhood.

    Also you have to "disconnect" from your family and friends to be allowed to go that far (unless you are a celebrity of course).

  9. Re:"This test, he charged, was inhumane" on Soldiers Bond With Bots, Take Them Fishing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's healthy to have real empathy, that is for real people. If you start applying too much "empathy" to everything, you become that crazy old woman in the suburbs with a house full of cats.
    (or in this case; the crazy old guy with a lawn full of car carcasses).

    I don't. Maybe because I try not to anthropomorphize machines. You really shouldn't either, it's not healthy.

    Maybe it's more like grubing a plate of grub?

    Now move to Denmark or any other country in Europe with sane alcohol laws (remember to avoid Norway too).

    Here in Europe the "drinking age" starts when you are born.

  16. Re:Then Apple would have to use slower AMD chips! on Why Apple Should Acquire AMD · · Score: 1

    When Apple decided to change to Intel the roles where reversed: Intel was slower and hotter. For the last 3 years every chip produced by AMD has been faster and cooler than Intel counterparts, and before that AMD was faster but also hotter than Intel. Intel has only produced ONE CPU what was better than AMD; their current offering. That's just a single exception to the rule. So sticking with Intel is the surest bet to slower and hotter CPUs.

    But seriously, by not commiting to or buying either, they have much more flexibility to choose the best product of the day.

    They say politics is like sausage. You can't simultaneously appreciate the taste of sausage and know how it's made.

    So a moral message is one that is grammatically correct, but badly structured and full of typos?

    As far as democracy is concerned, you don't live in a democracy (assuming you live in the U.S. or Europe). The U.S. is a constitutional republic, and the important aspect of such a government is the constitutional limits, not the elections

    Talk for your self!

    Personally I live in constitutional monarchy like many other Europeans. It also happens to be a democracy, just like the US is also happens to be a democracy (most of the time) besides being a republic.

    Being a republic and being a democracy are not as mutually exclusive as your narrowminded two-party rhetoric suggests.

    A republic just means you have a president, nothing more.
  21. Re:Entanglment Applications Exist on Quantum Physics Parts Ways With Reality · · Score: 3, Informative

    Only problem with that application is that it is not usefull for transferring information, which in other words means that it is not usefull at all.

  22. Re:Numbers game on Sun Asks China to Merge its Doc Format With ODF · · Score: 2, Informative

    You do realize that already there are several office suites that implement ODF?

    Sure the only open source ones are OpenOffice and KOffice, but many small 3rd party wordprocessors have changed to ODF. So at no point will we be trapped by Sun, we will have the option of buying any of a handfull of commercial implementations, and probably 1-2 two other open source ones.

    Because you subsidize oil in the US instead of taxing it.

  25. Re:Translation ... Garage inventer will be screwed on Legislation To Overhaul US Patent System · · Score: 5, Informative

    No. Prior art stays the same. If anyone has published a the same idea before it is not patentable (in theory, in practice USPO will still not check it),

    The old system just had the option of companies not filing patents and not publishing their results could come in and claim they invented the idea first.

    The new system is much less corrupt and more open.
