  1. What about traveling? on Fuel Cells for Laptop Computers · · Score: 1

    So what do you do if you have a fuel cell powered laptop and you want/need to fly?

  2. Best Quote on Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites) · · Score: 1

    "All I know is that when it comes to free email services, sometimes you get what you pay for"
    Hmmm, if I send that e-mail message body to my dad's pay MSN account, it goes thru...

  3. Re:Cry me a river on InfoWorld 2004 Salary Survey Results · · Score: 1

    Then there are the slightly lucky ones that get on the .com bandwagon, get laid off then get a decent paying job with a government contractor because we know someone in the IT department. And mean while, put that hard earned money into a savings account so that one day we can open up a business of our own. But that doesn't happen, because we then meet the girl of our dreams, get married, buy a house, and have kids...

  4. Re:Assuming... on Spammer Apologizes · · Score: -1

    Well, he's sorry. So i guess it's time for a group hug now?...

  5. no sympathy on Area 51 Hackers Map Buried Surveillance Network · · Score: 1

    Couldn't agree with you more. These guys were messing with government property, regardless if it was on puplic land or not.

    But if these sensors were in a private area (ie: home, office) then hack away...

  6. My pick up line... on What Would You Do With a 92 TBps Router? · · Score: 1

    ...Hey there sweet thing. Wanna come back with me to my folks house, and I'll show you my 92 TBps Router in the basement?

  7. Re:That's all well and good... on Manure-Powered Generators On The Rise · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just come to Washington DC. We got bullshit all over this town.

  8. Re:I love stories... on Hybrid Cars Don't Live Up to Mileage Claims · · Score: 1

    That's exactly the set up i installed on my 79 Grand Prix. I couldn't use HEI either with my Offenhouser 360* manifold.

  9. Re:I love stories... on Hybrid Cars Don't Live Up to Mileage Claims · · Score: 1

    Nah, it'll only be a hybrid if you swaped out the points for HEI ignition. But then again, I'm not sure if the HEI distributors will fit on the pre-67 engines. At least it ain't a Chevy motor.

  10. Re:The big question on G4TechTV Announced · · Score: 1

    You can have Sarah. I want Cat. She's a lot better looking, and has a better personality.

  11. Design studios too... on Camera Phone Tips · · Score: 1

    I was watching a show, I think on the SPEED channel, where they were doing a tour of a car design center (i think GM) There was a big sign at the receptionist's desk that you had to surrender all camera's and camera-phones.

  12. And the royalties? on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this means that the record labels will have more royalties to keep since they can't locate/contact artists.

  13. Re:Time to get to the Library? on Putting Google to the Test · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're obviously not using your teleporter...

    I actually had the same concern.

  14. My fembot on What Sex is Your Robot? · · Score: 1

    [austin powers]She's a a man, baby. Yeah![/austin powers]

  15. Re:Why the concern? on Rescuers Prep for Hybrid Car Accidents · · Score: 1

    The electrical parts of the Hybrid cars have their own wires/harnesses. You have to see it to understand. I do understand that there would be a slight risk if the car was so mangled that that would cause a concern, but if that happened, the system would most likely melt the wires that it contacted from overload...

  16. Re:Racing cars.. on Rescuers Prep for Hybrid Car Accidents · · Score: 2, Informative

    The standard place on race cars for electrical cut off is the RR corner, normally on the rear panel. Normally a big red switch. Sometimes a push/pull rod conected to the switch mounted in the trunk. This is because most race cars have their battery mounted in the RR corner of the trunk/boot.

  17. Why the concern? on Rescuers Prep for Hybrid Car Accidents · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My dad has a Civic Hybrid. All the necessary cabling runs under the car next to the frame rails. If rescuers are haveing to cut that deep, you're SOL anyways. Normally rescuers have to use the jaws of life on doors, and the associated A,B,C pillars. No electricals go thru there, other than side airbag sensors.

    Sounds like another internet scare article put out by a 'reputible' source...

  18. Slow news day on Who's Behind the Shower Curtain? · · Score: 1

    It must be a real slow day to post this type of stuff.

    Looks like an internet scare tactic article. We're surrounded by bacteria all over the place, the bathroom is the one place I'd expect to be perfectly clean

  19. What about the fees on First Bank Transfer via Quantum Cryptography · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sure but would they still charge a fee for using "out of our network" ATMs?

  20. Re:Comcast will have this soon... on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: 1

    And yet, my poor parents are still stuck with dial up at about 26k, on a good day...

    How about instead of going for records, we try to get regular broadband to rural areas...

  21. Re:The whole no phones in planes on WirelessCabin: Use Your Mobile Phone on Airplanes · · Score: 1

    Can someone please explain to me how listening to 'Beastie Boys' on my iPod will screw up the planes electronics? If the systems are that bad, I'll be driving from now on.

    If electronics really were that bad, wouldn't/shouldn't they be forbiden all the time, and not just take offs and landings?

  22. Re:Expensive Electronics? on Technology Makes New Cars Too Expensive to Fix · · Score: 1

    The use of electronics in cars was supposed to make them cheaper not more expensive.
    The problem is not the cost of electronics. The problem is the amount of electronics. Back in the day, there was maybe 1 or 2 'black boxes' for emmissions. Now you have a control module for the memory seats, the GPS, the stereo, the climate control, the gauge cluster, the ABS, the airbags, the automatic transmission, the emmissions/fuel injection, etc.

  23. Re:Someone enlighten me.... on Is the Universe Shaped Like a Funnel? · · Score: 1

    Or we could be in a marble, on the belt of Orion.

  24. Re:Someone enlighten me.... on Is the Universe Shaped Like a Funnel? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought the same thing. I think this was theorized by someone looking to make theories.

    If there is a finite line between the universe and whatever else is out there, what is it's shape?

  25. Re:It needs to be a standard label for filters on FTC Adopts New Rule For Sexually Explicit Spam · · Score: 1

    You mean you don't want your 'v!agr.a' How about 'sweet tee.ns sux cox' Or maybe 'h0t m0ms with y0ung studs'
    [sarcasm]You know those are the best ones. If they weren't so good, the spammers wouldn't go thru all that trouble to misspell the text so that it will go thru the filter and into your mailbox! You're so ungreatful! [/sarcasm]
