  1. Re:Windscreen? on Driver's-Seat Driving Game Controller · · Score: 1

    I drive in a cheap (current car was $1000 after getting race ready) racing division at a local speedway. My first car just had a steel grate as a "wildshiled," "windscreen," "wind redirectional device," or what have you. My new one has a Lexan windshield, so I can wear an open face helmet. (Full face helmets are awfully stuffy.)

    No, there is none.

  4. Re:Emulator on Nintendo DS Homebrew and Hacking · · Score: 2, Funny

    I would like to suggest replacing "computer hacker" with "e-viking," as hackers/crackers (what have you) pillage and often burn data.

    Better three than eight.

  6. Re:Better Stick on GEICO vs Google Ads: Google Wins · · Score: 1

    From what I can tell Lycos is the only search engine paying for an ad on Google, and it only appeared when I searched specifically for Lycos. Some search engine names (Yahoo, MSN, Jeeves, and AltaVista) showed no ads whatsoever. Two (Hot Bot and ask) show ads that are not actually relevant.

    Accordin to Dogbert seven angels can dance on the head of a pin. Though personally, I believe 42 can.

  8. Re:Nextel, NASCAR? on Sprint Close to Buying Nextel · · Score: 1
    The division was still called the Winston Cup when Dale Earnhart was racing. Also they only put a small sticker on the car you can't really see unless you're close to the car.

    Sponsering the class is all about getting you company mentioned any time the sport is brought up.

    As for driver sponsorship: http://www.nascar.com/2004/kyn/nascar_101/05/20/te am_costs/index.html

  9. Re:Nextel, NASCAR? on Sprint Close to Buying Nextel · · Score: 1

    Sprint has previously bought sponsership in NASCAR. Adam Petty was sponsored by Sprint until he died in practice at Martinsville Speedway. His father Kyle Petty then drove with Adam's team with Sprint sponsorship for about two years. Kyle is now sponsored Georgia-Pacific.

    Having your name on the sport gets much more screen time than having just a driver. I forsee a "Sprint-Nextel Cup" if the merger comes through.

    Want to change a biometric password? Use a series of fingerprints. It wouldn't be too hard to remember what order you scanned your fingers.
