  1. Re:Security Through Obscurity on New Kazaa Lite Protects Identity · · Score: 1

    Right on!

  2. Re:This is great on TiVo Data Collection Ramifications · · Score: 1

    I agree. From the perspective of the TV watcher, I will not want to buy a product if I have to sit through a very bad commercial over and over again. It's too bad they couldn't have a moderation system for commercials

  3. Re:I always wondered.... on RIAA To Sue Hundreds Of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    How do they know I didn't record my MP3s off the radio! :)

  4. My spam filtering on The Next Step in Fighting Spam: Greylisting · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I have one filter that blocks at least 90% of my spam. If a message contains the word "offer" it's toast. Works for me anyways.

  5. Too many features on Honda Crash Detection System · · Score: 1

    I buy cars with manual transmissions. Automatic transmissions always shift at the wrong time for me, especially when I need power to get out of a situation. I also buy cars with no anti-lock brakes. When they engage I have less control over the vehicile. And I will probably buy cars without Crash Detection Systems too. I don't think a computer can drive better than we can.

  6. Impossible on The Computational Requirements for the Matrix · · Score: 1

    Right now we think the universe is infinite. We also think that computers can't comprehend infinity. So, did this guy wasted a lot of time because he forgot to look at the obvious number called infinity.

  7. I must agree on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    The music, the enviornments, and the brothers were all very frightening about that game. But looking back, I think the most frightening thing was the fact that there was wasn't anyone to talk to on the island. Instead you had to read those damn books with the fuzy movies with the crazy brothers in em. Scary, expecially when the got pissed. Oh yeah, and the drugs found in the brother's rooms scared me too because I was like 9 at the time.

  8. Yep, it'll be a good game on Unreal II Demo Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    This screen is enough to tell me it's good: http://www.unreal2.com/screens/pc/2b.jpg

    Now I just have to stand in line at file planet for 60 mins.

  9. Cheap materials on Platinum Nanomuscles Developed · · Score: 4, Informative

    Nanomuscles weigh just one gram... are far cheaper to produce: 50 cents.

    Last time I checked, platinum costs about $20/gram

  10. I don't understand where the energy comes from on Increasing Fuel Mileage With Hydrogen? · · Score: 0

    Let me get this straight...

    1. Your battery is used to split the water
    2. The added hydrogen creates a better gas mileage
    3. Your car tries to recharge the battery
    4. Your battery gradually dies from the added task of electrolysis, and the loss of the energy transfer from the engine to generator to battery.

    So, is the better gas mileage coming from the battery? (or gas if it's used to recharge the battery)
    It seems that it should decrease gas mileage from all the added superfluous energy transfers..

    The other thing to argue is that he gives (or claims to give) real working examples. He mentioned that his dad and a friend had a working booster, and gave data (although not detailed) about the gas mileage of each.

    And why would you even need acid? All the acid seems to do is react with the electrodes. This is electrolysis, not a reaction with the acid and water. Which reminds me, Wouldn't you need to add water to the canister because of the loss of the gases?

    So does it work or not? He claims it does, but it dosne't seem like it should.

  11. Cheaper mining strategy on China Wants To Establish Moon Mining · · Score: 0

    Tie a rope around it, and pull it to earth where we can mine it easier!

  13. Re:dude on UK Parliament Domain Without Registrar · · Score: 0

    The UK and France were the only ones to declare war on Germany during WWII. If they wouldn't have started war that early the germans at that time would have advanced a lot quicker. The U.S. didn't really care at the time what was happening over there. It was called Isolationism. The only reason US entered the war was because of Pearl Harbor. I don't think the US could've won a war against the world when we were that demobolized.

  14. Re:dude on UK Parliament Domain Without Registrar · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What's that supposed to mean?

  15. Re:dude on UK Parliament Domain Without Registrar · · Score: -1, Troll

    The UK has helped the US ever since the revolutionary war. We might all be nazis if the UK didn't help us.

  16. get rid of it on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1

    I hate spam. I'd be for anything that'd combat it.
