  1. Re:Which Gallon? on VW Set To Release Diesel Hybrid · · Score: 1

    Quiet good but not a lot better than the tdi's that have been around for years..

  2. Re:Is this a good thing? on EFF Takes On RIAA "Making Available" Theory · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what if he sets it all up and the file sharing program sees it and others see it but he's set up his network to refuse to pass through those packets?

    not sure if you're aware, but you can use decimals for inches too...

  4. Re:Try 1.5 billion on Paul McCartney On Music In the Digital World · · Score: 1

    Being worth 1.5B and having 800M in the bank are too completely different things.

  5. Re:One more reason to use AllofMP3.com on Sony and Universal Prohibit Sharing Via Zune · · Score: 1

    I'd imagine it has more to do with feeling guilty about downloading.. so by going through the motions of paying, he feels better about it.

  6. Re:Thats just one more reason to use a silencer on Listening Robot Senses Snipers · · Score: 3, Informative

    Except you lose a lot of muzzle velocity by adding a silencer..

  7. RTFA? on Linux Desktops Send NASA Rovers to Mars · · Score: 5, Informative

    Brack's team instead runs Sun Solaris 8 for its main servers. He cited the OS's more stable, reliable, and longer lifecycle as one of the key reasons for this deployment.

    That's the sentence after the one you are talking about.

  8. Re:Bah on Sony Settlement Start of DRM Protection Act? · · Score: 1

    There are artists that aren't signed to a label associated with the RIAA, you know? I think you just like free music.

  9. Re:Indeed! on Song Sites Face Legal Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Definitely. Saw them live, and to be honest it doesn't live up to the record. Download the tracks at their site (http://clapyourhandssayyeah.com/) and if you like them you'll love the rest of the record.

  10. Re:Indeed! on Song Sites Face Legal Crackdown · · Score: 1

    They're on Amazon now. Band name is "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah" without the exclamation point.

  11. Re:Good news on iTMS Moving Up The Sales Charts · · Score: 1

    You mean you can copy the file to another machine and play it there. You can play the file on 5 different machines, but you have to pay to redownload it.

    Good ol' Redundant mod on an honest question.

  16. Re:It's still beta... on Google Talk Claims Openness, Lacks S2S Support · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This may be obvious to some.. but is there any Google software that's not beta anymore?

  17. Re:Blah blah on Has Google Peaked? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, but goolge is much easier to type than microsoft.

    Apparently not! :)

    the memory sticks go in the controllers..

  22. Re:Explain this to me on Google Loses AdWords Case · · Score: 1

    I did rtfa, I just didn't make it clear I was talking about competitors ads with the geico name in them. Although to me, I think it's pretty shady either way.

  23. Re:Explain this to me on Google Loses AdWords Case · · Score: 1

    The issue is that Geico has the rights to its name and the association of its name with its product. When Google allows AdWords to associate Geico's name with a competitor's product, that essentially infringes on Geico's rights.

  24. Re:Don't kid yourself on Aussie Speed Cameras in Doubt Because of MD5 · · Score: 1

    Was talking with some aerodynamics engineers at Ford for one of my classes and they said that generally at about 40mph the friction forces from the engine and tires are equal to the drag forces from the aerodynamics. Interesting thought. I've also heard that leaving your windows open on the highway going moderate speeds (~60mph) is about the same as having your air conditioning running full blast, gas-wise.
