  2. Re:Misleadning on Modified Prius gets up to 180 Miles Per Gallon · · Score: 1

    It's not like he's driving the car continuously until he runs out of gas. The reason he gets that figure is probably because he drives back and forth between home and plugs it in each time, and only has to go and get gas every once in a while.

  3. Re:Midnight UT just passed, numskulls. on ThinkGeek ThinkGeek ThinkGEEK! · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but he has horrible spanish grammar.

  4. Re:Phew on ThinkGeek ThinkGeek ThinkGEEK! · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but I've still got another 5 hours to go...

  5. Re:UH....... on Yahoo and Google to Merge? · · Score: 1

    Crap. I meant the more easily pronounced...
    I suppose sentences are supposed to have verbs or something...

  6. Re:UH....... on Yahoo and Google to Merge? · · Score: 1

    I guess going with the more easily Goo'gyahle! or Y!'ghoolge presented too much of a challenge...

  7. Re:So lets see what happens ... on Robotic Nanotech Swarms on Mars... in 2034 · · Score: 5, Funny
    A 100 years later a huge fleet of warships from Mars controlled by a huge artificial AI comes back to Earth and obliterates it.
    Powered by a double redundancy drive?
  8. Friggin' Cheaters on GTA3 and Vice City now Online Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    Last time I played MTA with Vice City it was crawling with people using trainers/cheats. It got pretty insane. You'd shoot a guy with a shotgun 4 times without him falling down, you'd accuse him of cheating, he would deny it, then he would proceed to jump 200 feet into the air and board a helicopter...

  9. Re:Jeff Tweety of Wilco and his advocacy on Indie Artists Support Peer To Peer · · Score: 1

    You mixed up the album title. It was called "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot."

  10. Re:Rolling your own on A History of Icons · · Score: 1

    You could just make the PNGs using Photoshop or a similar program and convert them in one of the many free programs that exist out there. To name a few, you could use IconSushi or the AveIconifier.

  11. Re:i do this anyway... on Ultaportable Apps: Take Your Thumbware Anywhere · · Score: 1

    I've found out that using portable firefox at school allows me to completely bypass BESS (the internet filter we use) and get unfiltered internet. It's great. That and the interface of firefox kicks ass.

  12. Re:Self Defeating on HP Introduces New Technology to Save Mobile Battery Life · · Score: 1

    Exactly. This is one of the age-old questions about laptops: why the hell are the screens so much cheaper? My 1920x1200 widescreen was a 150 dollar option on my laptop, and monitors with similar resolution cost 10 times that.

  13. Re:Self Defeating on HP Introduces New Technology to Save Mobile Battery Life · · Score: 2, Informative

    Most desktop monitors that have a 1600x1200 resolution are close to the same DPI as a 1024x768 diaplay. The reason not everyone has one of these is because they are prohibitively expensive ($700+).

  15. Re:Remifications for other networks? on Kazaa's Australian Assets Frozen · · Score: 1

    Most likely not on DC++... most of those morons find it too confusing to figure out and don't have large enough shares to get in.

  16. Re:Costs? on Music Labels May Seek Higher Download Prices · · Score: 1

    Did you really mean .25 cents (as in a quarter of a penny), or is that just a typo?

  17. Re:I think... on Was the Mac mini Intended to Have an iPod dock? · · Score: 1

    Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Windows operating system, so it runs faster than a non-integrated program like Firefox.

  18. Re:Price not surprising at all. on 100,000 Domains Sold for $164 Million · · Score: 1

    Perhaps he's just independently wealthy?

  19. Re:What to do on Electronic Gadget Ideas for a New House? · · Score: 1

    Oops, I suggested this in another guy's thread a couple of minutes ago. But I love the idea, it would make adding new cable a snap.

  20. Re:Not really gadget-related, but: on Electronic Gadget Ideas for a New House? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Would it be possible to but plastic piping in the walls where wires could be really easily placed? This kind of system would allow for easy implementation of future wiring.

  21. Download is pretty slow... on Mozilla Sunbird's First Official Release · · Score: 1

    It's coming in at around 10kbps. Is there a mirror or torrent of the download?

    Someone posted something that looked pretty similar to this a few days ago:

  25. Re:And the winner is... on GIMP 2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    If it had been a real picture of a pencil drawing of the logo, it might have worked out looking pretty professional, but the cheesy filter makes it look very amateur.
