  1. Did we not already know this? on Formerly Classified Global Warming Spy Photos Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Glaciers are not permanent structures. So what?

  2. Re:Why does he like libraries? on Ray Bradbury Loves Libraries, Hates the Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am. A lot of people are scared by things they don't understand. Why should he be any different?

  3. Why does he like libraries? on Ray Bradbury Loves Libraries, Hates the Internet · · Score: 0, Troll

    Does he like them for the books? He knows you can read books on the Internet, right? Maybe he just doesn't know how to use the internet properly (he is old, after all) and it just confuses and scares him.

  4. Re:You don't need to transport hydrogen. on Funding For Automotive Fuel Cells Cut · · Score: 1

    Because batteries are heavy. You can go much further on a tank of hydrogen than you can on a full battery charge.

  5. You don't need to transport hydrogen. on Funding For Automotive Fuel Cells Cut · · Score: 1

    The article says transporting hydrogen is "a big challenge". Well then don't transport it. All you need to generate it is water and electricity, which are both pretty easy to transport. What they need to work on is a cheaper way to generate electricity.

  6. Re:Did you search? on Soy-Based Toner Cartridges? · · Score: 1

    It was there earlier. Somebody must have deleted it :\

  7. Re:Did you search? on Soy-Based Toner Cartridges? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm too old to assume anything anymore.

  8. Did you search? on Soy-Based Toner Cartridges? · · Score: 3, Informative

    On the first page of a google search for "soy-based laser toner" is a link to a Chicago Tribune article dated April 22. Check that out.

  9. Schools and universities should start now. on ARIN Letter Says Two More Years of IPv4 · · Score: 1

    Most schools and universities are not affected so much by the economy, and most schools and universities don't need a business case to make this switch.

  10. Long time coming on Guitar Hero, On a Real Guitar, To Hit Shelves In 2009 · · Score: 1

    Wasn't this idea thrown around when the MIDI interface was created, 20+ years ago?

  11. How do they enforce this? on Wisconsin Passes Digital Download Tax · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm a little confused how they're going to enforce this law against companies that have no physical presence in the state? I did not see that addressed in the article.

  12. Power from somewhere on Compressed-Air Car Nears Trial · · Score: 1

    You still have to compress the air somehow, either with an electric- or combustion-powered compressor. I'm curious to see how much these cost to operate per mile versus a battery-powered electric car.

  13. Re:well, on NASA To Explore "Secret Layer" of the Sun · · Score: 1

    Yeah well it was fun while it lasted. Now it's gonna get all touristy.

  14. Re:In the real world... on Redesigning the Stop Sign · · Score: 1

    The ones in the US are pretty good too. They're not ambiguous (unless there are errors in content) and they're easy to read. I know they've changed the fonts on the green freeway exit signs down here in Houston, but I don't know of any changes other than that.

  15. Re:Fortunatly... on Buy From Amazon With Your TiVo · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If they hadn't upgraded past Series 1, then TiVo wouldn't be around anymore. As unlikely as I am to use this service, I like to see TiVo in the news and making positive steps in the business realm. I like my TiVo and don't want to see them fail because of imitators.

  16. Re:Ninjas on AI Could Power Next-gen CCTV Cameras · · Score: 1, Funny

    That's a good point. Or what about breakdancing? Could the cameras tell the difference between breakdancing and fighting?

  17. Ninjas on AI Could Power Next-gen CCTV Cameras · · Score: 5, Funny

    They'd be completely useless against ninjas, and ninjas are everywhere.

  18. Re:medium contrast; medium saturation on What Font Color Is Best For Eyes? · · Score: 0

    Yup. I've been using white on dark grey for quite a while and don't think I can find anything better.

  19. None at all on Which All-in-One Inkjet Printer is Cheapest to Use? · · Score: 0

    What on earth could your dad possibly be printing?

  20. Scriptit on Solution for Remote Software Deployment on Windows? · · Score: 0

    I have a similar number of machines and am an OU admin. I've had issues with GP software deployment so I just use MS Scriptit. You stil have to go around to each machine, but you don't have to sit there and click through everything.

  21. Global Thermonuclear War on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 0

    How'd they leave that out. It's pretty important...

  22. Re:Bizarre. on Australia Rules Linking to Copyright Material Also Illegal · · Score: 0

    A better question: If the lending library didn't exist and someone came up with the idea for it today, do you think they would be allowed?

  23. Maybe it was a marsupial? on New Zealand's First Land Mammal Discovered · · Score: 0

    Maybe?

  24. Re:Time for a new alarm clock on Prepared for Next Year's Time Change? · · Score: 0

    Surely you can turn off the DST setting on the clock? Or do they just not sell that particular model in Indiana and Arizona?

  25. Only 3 for me on How Many Windows? · · Score: 0

    At work, I usually just have Eudora, Winamp, and Firefox open. I close them all when I leave (my mobo has bad capacitors and likes to turn itself off at night sometimes).
