  1. Re:Clunkers is a clunker on "Cash For Clunkers" Program Runs Out of Gas · · Score: 1

    It just seems like this bill rewards those who are rich and were environmentally irresponsible over the last 10 years.

    I'm not sure about the rich part, but wasn't every american who bought an american car over the last 100 years environmentally irresponsible?

    Although this programs borders on protectionism, it is can be a good way to give an incentive to US mfgrs to build cars the way the japanese have the past 25 years.

    Well. If they are small they can fit on a bike. Just add one seat on the steering wheel and one on the bagagedrager.

    When your kids are 4/5 they can ride their own cycles, which has the advantage of them getting some exercise as well.

    For the ages 3/4 you can buy a trailer for your bike to put the kids in.

    Anyway, plenty of options there...

    Well, it's not really a very good comparison because Apple is primarily a hardware company, or complete solutions if you will. Yes, if they were trying to sell OS X it would be a bad idea. If you are trying to sell Mac boxes, I think it's a good idea.

    Oh. absolutely no coincedence with IBM there then...

    Perhaps GP meant: Is Google afraid that their business model and mission statement will eventually FORCE them to be an EVIL company.

    Is Google thinking about the long term ethical consequences of their business?

    Although it is nice to think that maybe they are, the cynical me says they are not.

    In most countries there is a difference between breaking and entering, and entering (for instance) through an open window.

    and use cheap storage for your "bulk" content

    erm, perhaps you should try and remember what the acronym RAID stands for...

    It's just moved on to the point where SCSI is the high-end solution and SATA the inexpensive (hint) one.

  8. Re:Sorry to be a downer, but it's important. on Indoor Tropical Island · · Score: 1
    But now, just a week after 118,000 parents and children and brothers and sisters have been drowned in a single moment, we start making fun little tsnumai references to set off an article on an indoor beach. That, and going to our climate-controlled indoor beaches are all part of our healing process, I suppose.

    Hmmm.. Somehow I don't think you will be hearing / reading "fun little tsunami references" in the affected area for some time.

    I think I can remember the first "fun little 9/11 references" within a week after 9/11 here in Europe. So I think you should realise that not everyone around the world reads and or hears the same things as you do.

    hmmm.. Maybe then you can tell me WHY telemarketeers would want to call someone who is on the DNC list, even when they are allowed to do so?

    Yup, there's nothing like a good hard shaft for the bottom 10% every year to get the team spirit going at your company.

    I completely agree with you,

    The only shows I watch are Top Gear and the Daily show. Top Gear is on the BBC satellite which is free-to-view (w/out ads) and the Daily show is not available in my country (Holland)

    So, I maybe a pirate in theory, I really don't see _anything_ wrong with downloading those shows.

    You mean they spied on everyone in their network trying to find spyware-infected PC's?
