  1. not impossible. . . on GM Says Driverless Cars Will Be Ready By 2018 · · Score: 1

    what would happen if a non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse went off by a busy highway with 60mph+ driverless cars going haywire/rebooting? yikes!

  2. pirate translation on Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day, Me Hearties · · Score: 1

    Today meebo can translate your conversations into buccaneer-speak automatically. I've seen some really funny ones + it'll freak yer crew out with th' buccaneer-speak all o' a sudden! To do it, just log on and type (pirateon)

  3. DVDJon on AjaxWrite to "Compete" with MS Word · · Score: 1
  4. Re:I plead the second. on FCC Backs a Tiered Internet · · Score: 1

    This cycle is never going to go away. We'll create a second grassroots Internet. Someone will sell a service to set it up for non techie folks for a small fee. That service will become a company, catering to the masses. At this point it becomes part of another cartel the very antithesis of what it began as in the first place.

  5. Re:Time for a short sale? on Maryland Votes To Ban Diebold Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    The vote was actually 0-137, but they used a Diebold to count it...

  6. Richest man on earth? on Wealthy 'Cryonauts' Put Assets on Ice · · Score: 1

    $10,000,000 at 4% "safe" interest for 100 years will total about 1.04^100*10000000= $500,000,000. Big deal, not even billionaire status! Also adjust for inflation and its really closer to $300,000,000

  7. From the article... on Behind the Scenes at Hotmail · · Score: 1

  8. (Not to be outdone) on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 2

    This just in..."ID Scientists Figure Out How Pigs Fly"

  9. Re:Asthmatic Hum-Vee? on Google Transit Now In Beta · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe theyre calculating the cost of maintenance that accumulates as you drive... i.e oil change, oil filter, air filter, fluid replacement ($20 here, $10 there it adds up)....Chances are if youre driving a junker, its costing you more than just gas to get reliably from point A to point B

  10. Anybody wondering? on Diebold Threatens to Pull Out of North Carolina · · Score: 1

    Diebold Won't Provide Source Code U.S. Won't Let Go of DNS List goes on... In most of these cases, there's something dirty going on underneath; it's obvious theres always a hidden agenda or why else would they protest so much?

  11. Re:Woohoo! on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    you sure not from network.prefetch-next=true? all those pages take up memory.
