  1. Re:this is a longterm stop-gap on Europe Warms to Nuclear Power · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Modded Insightful? Are you out of your freaking mind?
    Raise the taxes on something to get the alternative to look better? Thats your "solution"???
    Raise the price so folks will turnoff the PCs at night. Well if most are running intel machines, boot time is prime failure time. If this procedure raised the annual failure rate by couple percent, you have ruined your case. The energy required to make a new PC and dispose of the old one will be greather than it used on all those nights.
    How will you feel when you find out the YOUR "GREEN" solutions killed off a migratory breed of birds or some other ecological disaster?
    Let the markets sort it out. Remove taxes and tax subsides, lower the amount of redundant paperwork and let the markets work.
    If, some CEO does break the law, hold him personaly responsible and have his ass in the lake picking up dead fish.

  2. Re:First Anonymous Post on Crank Blogging, Like Phone Calling, Now Illegal · · Score: 1

    Awww come on coward, go ahead and make some real threats to the life and person of W.
    This is aimed at the high school bullies that you all hated and feared. They have moved to the internet, and now the geeky kids need protection here too. You can flame me, but you can't yell fire in a crowded theater.
    GET OVER YOURSELVES! The "cyber" world is still a part of the real world. Just because you are typing, does not mean 'it is not real'. Telling lies and making threats are still real crimes, even is "cyber space" ooooohhhhh wwwooooo hhhooooo.
    For the record, we should not need this or the telephone version. Harassing people is wrong, whatever tech you use.

  3. GPS with that? on Your Cell Records For Sale Online, Cheap · · Score: 1

    Do I get the GPS coordinates with that? I want to know where they are at when they call. I can get a small cheap GPS phone and stick it to the bumper of her car. With wireless web and laptop, I can track her everywhere. I am BATMAN!

  4. Remeber details of Katrina on New Aircraft is Part Blimp and Part Airplane · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    After Katrina lots of highways were covered in debris. You could not get a truck into many places. Choppers are fast, but it cost a bundle to get a lot of payload someplace. (When you have massively stupid dems like LA and NO have, you have to be able to cover for them quickly. MS, AL, FL and TX did not as many problems.) They do not have any specs because they only have a small prototype. Go to dynalifter.com and see.

  5. Re:Google branded Windows? on Google PC to Hit Walmart? · · Score: 1

    The dollar sign $ works as a wild card and a word splitter. So the Win$hit search gets all the baseball stories about a hit to win the game. Search "win$hit" and you drop to a couple thousand matches. Learn how to use Google search before you use it to justify yourself.

  6. Use tracking to Embarass you on Britain to log all vehicle movement · · Score: 1

    The cops think you know something about someone. You aren't talking. They go through the logs and find out you visit Adult Establishments. They mention this to your boss. They offer to let your wife and minister know as well. Do you start talking? Do you EVER go ANYPLACE that you would rather others do not know about? Do you want the police to have a list of EVERYWHERE you have been? Do you want anybody who can crack or get access to the system to know where you go and when regularly? (from 9:30 to 11:45 the house is always empty) Merry Christmas!

  7. Re:Well, that's a big shocker.- say carnivore on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1

    So carnivore was not running under Clinton? So the FBI files where not in the white house under Clinton. You may have forgotten these, since you were grammer school back then. Washington as a whole has moved left. Look at Kennedy's speech. It would be considered wildly right wing now. It was very liberal at the time. We need to get rid of activist judges first. So the worst laws are at least made by people VOTED into office.

  8. Re:only winner on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1

    Electric cars would be OK if the power plants were IN THE CITY. Myopic city folk don't want that plant in my back yard, and we want clean air. So lets ship all the energy producing pollution out of the city. That is what Electric cars do. Until you have nuclear power, it will be that way. Let someone make an electric car with 4 doors and room for 6, A DVD player and ice cold air conditioning. More Nukes less kooks!

  9. Re:only winner-shill for work at home scam on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1

    If the comparison is about gas to get to work, then work at home is for you. If it all about gas per week, then city life is for you. Some of us count our quality of life, rather than being a rat in a high rise hell hole.

  10. Re:The "environment" on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1

    That is INSANE!!! The reason europe is sinking into chaos is that belief in MORE TAXES to improve something. Cheap gas is what makes all american commerce work better. Take the socialist tripe and can it. It did not work for the USSR, it will never work elsewhere. Better tech has to stand on its own legs. The Hybrid tech is better value, the bigger the vehicle and the smaller a percentage of the total price. Putting it into an Echo to make the Prius was not an Economical choice, it was a market choice. It would appeal to Greens with more dollars than sense. The folks with GMC 2500s need concrete proof that this will still pull a trailer for 100K miles. They have jobs to do and need a vehicle to do the job, not just impress the green, left wing whackos. More taxes will help sheeess.

  11. Re:only winner-not just one tank range on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1

    The real problem with electric cars is refueling time. The 300 mile range is nice for most trips, but that weekend to grandma's house would be out. She live 500 miles away and there is no way to refill the tank in 20 mins, like a gas tank. It is easy refueling that is the bane of most alternatives. Hydrogen cars also suffer. Nobody trusts Jane car owner to refill a tank of hydrogen or recyle a load of lithium hydroxide. Or plug a 220 outlet into the car. Until we get tort reform, and stupid people are allowed to kill themselves without suing companies, none of this will work.

  12. Put on side of skyscrapers on Vertical Axis Wind Turbine With Push and Pull · · Score: 1

    Put them on the corners of a skyscraper and the power is used only feet away from its generation. Add this to the list for "GREEN" buildings. A good architect could also make the walls part of the foils sending the wind into it. It works at only 40ft off the ground, how about 40 stories off the ground?

  13. Sue Carpenters on Insecure Code - Vendors or Developers To Blame? · · Score: 1

    Can I sue the carpenters that built my house, since some thieves broke in? They should have reasonbly forseen the use of a crowbar on the front door. I mean houses have been built for a lot longer than software. Why can't someone build me a house that is impossible to break into? Some of you call yourselves "Professional Engineers", and you can't solve this problem.

  14. Re:Easy way to control hurricanes: on Controlling Hurricanes? · · Score: 1

    When you make posts like that it shows you need to get a life and stop posting. Global warming is caused my idiots like you spending too much time on the computer. Try to do a ZERO impact day yourself.

  15. Re:Not enough - Def Charity on Microsoft to Fight Crime With Spammer's Millions · · Score: 1

    Charity is when your left hand does not know what your right hand is doing. Public Relations is when EVERYONE knows what you are doing. This is PR. and for chump change they are getting lots of folks to think good things. How about fixing Exchange so it does not blow.

  16. Re:Maybe 4 bombs on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Put down your beer/lager/liquor, put your women in burkas and bow down towards Mecca. Then maybe the bombings will stop, but then again the Sunnis and Shias are bombing each other. The war is over whether you can have freedom or be forced to worship Allah the way a particular sect wants you to. And whether your genes will be in the pool in the coming generations. If you don't care about these things, go ahead and protest the war.

  17. This is trivial on ACLU to Challenge Utah Porn-Blocking Law · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They can give the M$ uses a hosts file with the AG's list in it. Bam! those sites do not come up. This is only at the CUSTOMER'S request. It does not remove Pr0n from those who want it. The ACLU is showing how far into hell they are going looking for clients.

  18. Re:Because... on Extending Pop Music Copyrights · · Score: 1

    I don't mind trademarks being held forever. Mickey Mouse should be Disney's. I do mind that my kid's school does NOT sing "Happy Birthday". They have been informed that it infringes on the copyright and are not allowed to perform it. You should not be able to make dancing swooshes, but you should be able to show "Steamboat Willie" to your friends.

  19. Nice Advertisement shill for MS on The Scoop on the Xbox 360's Embedded OS? · · Score: 1

    The article had nothing of worth. It was just an advertisement dressed up to look like news. Now slashdot is shilling for Microsoft too. WOW!

  20. Why bother encrypting on Virus Hold Computer Files 'Hostage' for $200 · · Score: 1

    Just overwrite the file with random info. Get money leave. Maybe call virus to trash the computer completely when done. If you are into extortion, you have no morals. If you have no morals, you won't keep up your end of the deal.

    Make all the male students bathe regularly as part of the grade. Then the female students won't be AS OFFENDED when they open the door to the computer lab. Nothing scares women off more than a room full of smelly zitty geeks. Regular showers will clear up 2 of those attributes.

    I could take any 13yr old, and get them to do
    truly perverse things, and enjoy it.
    Give me 2yrs and lots of Ice Cream.
    The child would enjoy it and not understand
    why everyone calls them a freak.
    Look at the DC sniper! That kid thinks he
    had a great relationship.

  25. Drugs sex, biology and bombs on Should Nanotech Be Regulated? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Lots of basic materials science is regulated. It is overseen and done in secure facilities. If the nano hypers say it cures old age, require drug company oversight. Apply appropriate means based upon the claims being made. You inhale billions of tiny particles all the time. So if you are really afraid, STOP BREATHING!
