  1. Wake me up... on California Sues Automakers for Global Warming · · Score: 1

    I don't think the suit will really go anywhere. Wake me up when the rest of the world files against the United States. I like the idea of higher mpg and lower emission standards but I think they should be balanced against the semi-trucks and work trucks that the cars will have to share the road with. I noticed that in some countries, the semi-trucks have side bumpers to keep little cars and pedestrians out from under the rear wheels. By making the trucks safer to be around, we could tighten our standards. I don't like the idea of using bio fuels; "Help the farmer. Save the planet." So we're going to use our eroding top soil not for food but for oil, manufacture and spray tons and tons of pesticides on the ground were it will find its way to our rivers. Last question: Thinking globally not locally. What is going to pollute the environment more: Columbia drilling for oil with their environmental regulations or the United States drilling for oil in Alaska with our regulations?

  2. Home Depot on Massives As Your Third Home · · Score: 5, Funny

    My third place is Home Depot because my first place needs work and my second place doesn't pay me enough to convince someone else to make my first place their second place.

    Come on. He was making a good point. A pin-prick of truth. The truth hurts sometimes.

  4. Speaking of Paying To Influence UN on Is Microsoft Paying To Influence UN Standards? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think a discussion about paying to influence the UN would be a little shallow without bringing this up for perspective.

  5. Robertson's for free advice? on Lindows.com Hypes An Upcoming $199 PC · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hello Legal, I read your latest Microsoft Corp. v. Lindows.com Update on your web site. You should change your name and try to be a little more creative/original and less cute/clever. I really don't give a rats ass about the future of Microsoft or Lindows. You don't think Coke would sue if someone making soda drinks called there company Loca-Cola. Change your name and get back to work. Best regards, David Brown P.S. Your disclaimer is an admission of guilt, "Lindows.com is not endorsed by or affiliated with Microsoft Corporation in any way." Loose it.

  6. Rackmount Boom on Touchscreen, Chair & Wheel Case Mod · · Score: 1

    I hurt my back bad enough to end up building this

  7. Re:Different Walk styles.. on AT-ATs Coming to a Forest Near You · · Score: 1

    Good eye. I didn't notice that. It must need to keep more feet on the ground when it's going up or down hill to keep it from beaking in. I wonder how it does going down hill diagonally. The best way to drive down a steep hill is straight down - The Fall Guy
