  3. no pain...no gain on Better Business Bureau Targets Apple's G5 Ads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Whatever gain/loss there was from the ad is water under the bridge. It's too late now, since it can't be taken back. Surely we don't have to remind...

    "Any publicity is good and good publicity is even better"

    This news is just more publicity...and they didn't have to pay a dime to get it in front of you today. I'd call that making out :)

  4. Old news on Better Business Bureau Targets Apple's G5 Ads · · Score: 4, Informative

    Apple has already stated the ad has run its course and it will be 'mindful' of the request in the future. Meaning we've already made out on that one, better luck next time :)

    I've never bothered w/DVD+R and never will I have the need, clearly.

    "Hewlett Packard (HP), in addition to its DVD+RW burner models, is poised to launch DVD Dual (compatible with +RW and -RW formats) drives as retail demand for DVD+RW models wanes, according to Taiwanese makers of DVD drives."

  14. Apparently you've never outrun the cops :) on Muscle Cars And Smokin' Chips · · Score: 1

    So, tell me how this works...you sit on it and it moves along, just above the ground? Or is there a wheel attachement kit? Do you just push it down the street and make nasty faces at the police, or what?

  15. Hardly a parallel. on Muscle Cars And Smokin' Chips · · Score: 1

    Being chased down for driving fast comes with the territory when hot rodding a car, truck or motorcycle - then there's things like explaining how the throttle stuck, and needing time on the dyno and wondering if the fuel leak was fixed - the worst thing o'clockers need to worry about is letting the smoke out and being down on Jolt and blowing next weeks allowance.

    Been there done that, and having a fast car/bike is much better than having a fast computer...you can't outrun the cops with a beige box that just sits under your desk. And, yes, I've mod'd the computers on all my cars/bikes.

    'Both' won't be needed. Why support a bag on the side...one will die. We've already discussed which that is.

    DVD+R will be shoved back up Intel's ass, from out whence it crawled in the first place.

    DVD+R will die like a rotting woodchuck, dead and dismissed, laying under the front porch on a hot Alabama afternoon....and smelling like an old shoe at best. Weep not...

    Au contrare my dear one...if iDVD+R wasn't running second in compatibility (which is last place, by the way - behind DVD-R), and if HP was secure in seeing it grow, then why would they straddle the fence?

    Wait...I know! They realize DVD+R is dieing. Dead... an EX-format...going, going, gone. Another bad idea meeting the doom it deserves.

    Monkey?

    I know plenty of valley girls that can pilot a BMW at 85mph down the coast hiway while never looking out the windows or using the rear view mirrors. They steer with one knee and can't hear a sound over the 1000watt stereo. They can carry on three converstations at once, make reservations for lunch on the cell, adjust their bra and sip on a 40oz. diet Dr. Pepper...all while penciling an eyebrow thinner than a dime.

    Over...under...around and thru.

  25. Re:Carefull..... on Smarter Children Through Food Supplements · · Score: 1

    The process by which the brain 'expands', or adds layers etc. is one where it seems to leverage an otherwise disparate group of needs and abilities.

    We may be driven to consume these and other supplements so that another rung can be added to the ladder of development, and while there may be risks and side effects to the next 10 or 20 generations, this may well be the price to pay for the next big step in human evolution.
