  1. Re:good news for environment on Tzero Electric Car: 0-60 in 3.7 Seconds · · Score: 1

    I probably would be better to have a "docking bay" that you drive into. Drive into side A, unlatch batteries, plug in power cord from overhead, drive over to side B, latch onto batteries, drive away.

  2. Re:Bravo on SBC Refuses To Name File-Sharing Users · · Score: 2, Informative
    I heard on the radio today that the House has passed a bill to repeal the illegal searches allowed by the PARTIOT act. They urge calling your senator to urge them to pass the bill also.

    Anyone else have any info on this?

  3. Re:Not the right question IMHO on Can Recent MS Patents Affect Mono and DotGNU? · · Score: 1
    Microsoft has never made money on its development tools

    Can you explain why Visual Studio is so expensive then?

    Shouldn't it just be included with the OS?

  4. Re:Other uses? on ESR to Shred SCO Claims? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like those reports you hear where scientists compare % of related DNA. 98% human-great ape, 34% human-banana, etc.

  5. Re:Obsolete. on Virus Scanner Auto-Replies - A Good Thing or Obsolete? · · Score: 1
    Could someone with modpoints please mod up my post two posts earlier that erroneously got modded 'Troll'?

    For some reason I read that as erogenously. Been reading tfproject.org too much recently, I guess.

    Man, can you imagine how great the world would be if we had a Beowulf cluster of Al Gores?

  8. Re:Hard Drive Destroyed on Slashback: Compromise, Bugs, Slag · · Score: 1

    Thermite. It takes a little bit of heat to get going, but does a great job.

    This is after A DOD wipe, of course. (three passes each of 0's and 1's, AFAICR)

  9. Re:CNET Article Text on Microsoft Applies For .NET Patent · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Do you honestly believe that we're going to slashdot CNet?

    I think perhaps it's a better way to get people to read the link, at least.

  10. 2 hours? on Anime Unleashed on TechTV · · Score: 3, Funny

    two-hour block of anime on Friday from 11pm to 2am EST

    so that's 11pm cst to 2am est?

  15. Think of the gas mileage! on U.S. East Coast Bombarded By ... What? · · Score: 1

    In this day and age, I think the market could bear a "compact" car of this size. The only problem is trunk space! :)

  16. An alternative to high prices on Laser Vision Correction? · · Score: 1

    This fall my father had his eyes done at a place called LasikVision Canada. 1000 US$(1600 .ca) for both eyes, using the generation 4 equipment (the one that follows your eye movement, instead of the doctor.) Even with the drive up (he drove home the next day,) a few nights in hotels, and geting his later checkups locally, he came out ahead of the 3-4000 that the local doctors wanted to perform the procedure with generation 3 eq.

    Seems like a good deal to me.
