  1. Re:Hello? on Auto Manufacturers Running Out Of Unique IDs · · Score: 1
    Yes, it's sad, but I know my VIN by heart. I got into an accident once, and when I went around to get estimates at body shops the conversation usually went like this:
    Estimator: Can I see your registration?
    Me: It's JH4DA9356NS033641

    Apparently, in 30 years in the business, he had never run into anyone who had memorized their VIN before. He had me tell it to everyone in the shop.
    Heh.

    (And yes, for all of you who are going to look it up, it's a 1992 Acura Integra)
  2. Grammar? on EV1 Servers CEO Responds To Customers · · Score: 5, Informative
    I don't know about any of you, but it would take a large amount of convincing to buy any of this company's services, let alone invest in them. This man, supposedly the CEO of a (reasonably) profitable business repeatedly makes errors in grammar and spelling throughout a letter to his customers.
    • "We did not license a linux distribution..."
    • "...various GPL Linux developers plaugerists..." (What are those? People who transmit the plague?)
    • "SCO already has like $60 million on hand..." (Like, oh-my-god! That's like sooo much money!)
    • "Whatever your position on the various suits, which SCO has said will increase." (This is not even a sentence.)
    • "There is significcant risk"
    That is by no means an exhaustive list. The letter is riddled with unprofessional colloquialisms and poorly-constructed sentences. Even the parent company name (EV1) is formally listed as "Everyones Internet." Missing an apostrophe, Bob? -Aaron
