  1. Gornet on Rival Green Groups Bid To Snatch .eco Domain · · Score: 1

    Al Gore invented the internet so he should get to say who gets dibs on the .eco domain. ;)

  2. AT&T on AT&T Makes Its Terms of Service Even Worse, To Discourage Lawsuits · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    People still use AT&T? I though after their whole NSA/CIA spying fun more people would have ditched them... oh well, your fault for using such a immoral carrier.

  3. Re:Nuclear not great either on The Rocky Road To Wind Power · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Yea, commissioned in 1985, I'm sure things haven't changed at all since the time of that build.

    The last nuke commissioned was in 1995... New nukes produce the most power with no pollution and last for decades. Yet the "environmentalists" would prefer us building 30 new coal plants a year instead of 1 nuke... brilliant.

  4. This is all well and good... on Does Bing Have Google Running Scared? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Except that Bing sucks... Once the novelty of it wears off it will quickly relinquish it's temporary market share.

  5. Hybrids are not the way on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 1

    Until the automakers realize that using a inefficient battery that barely gets the job done isn't the right way, this isn't going to happen.

    I think we need to start by getting more clean diesel vehicles on the road first while new technology is being developed to increase the *power* and *distance* a clean vehicle can accomplish.

    I'd like to see a large truck that still has plenty of power (600ft/lbs + torque) and get anywhere near that 42MPG. And don't get me wrong here, that's not sarcastic.

    I'm sorry but I'm 6'+ and one of these little "hybrids" which btw can't even pay for themselves in the cost of fuel in less than 10 years. I'm not going to buy one, I'm doing my part by having a RAM 2500 Clean Diesel instead of a gas engine but it still leaves me wondering... are the tall/bigger people going to get screwed by all this?

  6. Re:Collusion on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 1

    Yea... except that a small child in that would most certainly have been killed.

    "Even though the dummy's head hits the steering wheel violently.."

    What? he broke the steering wheel with his face but it's still a safe car?

  7. Wow... is there no other real news? on Blu-ray Update Sent To User Via Credit Card Records · · Score: 0

    How do these articles get approved? This is clearly either the banks fault *OR* much more likely, bestbuy has his information already stored and sent out the update to that address. *sigh* can I have my 2 minutes back that were wasted reading this article?

  8. Step 1... on French Record Labels Go After Limewire, SourceForge · · Score: 1

    French lawyer thought process:

    Step 1. - Announce and begin the process of suing a company completely devoid of responsibility for illegal file sharing.

    Step 2. - ??

    Step 3. - Profit.

    Step 4. - Buy lots of smelly cheese and cigarettes!

  9. Bullsh.. on Study Finds iPhone Twice As Reliable As BlackBerry · · Score: 1

    Well lets see here, there are two entirely different groups of people that use each phone I think. The iPhone is a teen/early twenties phone, most of it's days are spent in a dorm room or sitting in a locker somewhere. Whereas the blackberry is used by business people or technicians (me) and often doesn't sit in the office or in a book bag. It sits on your belt clip and I think that's the real culprit those effing belt clips... bastards.

  10. Still the same old same old on Where Has All My Spam Gone? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We provide a spam filtering service, and our volume hasn't really changed much in the past week or two so perhaps whichever botnet was sending you all the trash went offline or just... stopped sending to you.

  11. Yes, but it has to be done on both ends on Can Any Router Guarantee Bandwidth For VoIP? · · Score: 1

    It is not possible to QoS inbound traffic, so you have to QoS outbound traffic on both sides. We are a Business VoIP service provider and here is what we do:

    Juniper M20 QPP CHDS3 QoS / Tag VoIP traffic with highest priority ==T1== Customer Adtran 1224STR with QoS

    This allows us to QoS traffic in both directions on the T1. You cannot do proper QoS with just one end device... sorry.

  12. Wow another useless idea on Startup Building Floating Data Centers · · Score: 1

    Yea.. this is about as good an idea as the last person who came up with it...

  13. Well... I guess we'll be waiting longer on FCC Requires Backup Power For 210K Cell Towers · · Score: 1

    We've been waiting months for another 2Megawatt diesel... It's amazing how back logged all generator manufacturers are. Especially for the big stuff.

  16. People allow spoofing? on CallerID Spoofing to be Made Illegal · · Score: 1

    We're a local business VoIP provider and we do our own PSTN termination and we can't spoof the name... the number *only* if it's within our block but yea....I guess i'm in the dark about this actually being a problem

  17. Re:torrents on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Released · · Score: 1

    Well yea, I woke up this morning to my mirror being maxed out at 200Mbps! It's not a factor of the server being slow it's a factor of "only" having 2x100Mbps uplinks lol

  18. Re:What? on Gentoo on the PS3 - Full Install Instructions · · Score: 1

    Not sure how you think XP is better?? reboot 50 times for 10 updates.... you have no support argument to why rpm/yum is awful, until you do your comment really doesn't hold much water.

  19. Re:What? on Gentoo on the PS3 - Full Install Instructions · · Score: 1

    Have you even used yum in the past couple of years? there is no more "dependency hell" there is no more "shitting itself", people that say yum is crap (like yourself) just haven't read the documentation on how to properly use it to solve any of the so called issues you run into. Is there something wrong with not wanting to have to manually compile everything? and if you want to compile everything oh guess what you can do that too!!! install the src rpm and build it yourself!!

    I don't find Gentoo scary I just find dealing with anyone that uses it and anyone in that community a royal pain in the ass, and I don't appreciate being treated like a noobie (but what do I expect from a Gentoo user ;). Ever think of not being complete !@#$@#$s to users of different distros?

    P.S. why does Gentoo have the biggest fanboy user base? why is it when someone talks to one of you it's always "Gentoo is better" , it can be a completely off topic subject too like "I'm going to make some pancakes" -userA "GENTOO IS BETTER" -gentoofanboy.

    it's really annoying.

  20. Re:What? on Gentoo on the PS3 - Full Install Instructions · · Score: 1

    Wow you mean that Gentoo is so great you can use a livecd and actually type?!?! yea so can just about every other distro so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here.

  21. What? on Gentoo on the PS3 - Full Install Instructions · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure what you're smoking but Gentoo is a pain in the but to install, and I'm not sure what you mean by a better package management system than say fedora.... this post seems more like a flame towards other distros and how much better gentoo is than anything.

    Definitely, he couldn't even use a spell checker, this article is completely useless/pointless.

  23. Unwilling to make a change for the better? - Leave on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    It's mainly all the hippies that want peace love and harmony but don't have the understanding to grasp the fact that some people hate us just because we(USA) are a western civilization and certain actions have to be taken to not have 9/11 happen again or anything near that. Instead of sitting on your ass complaining and threatening "I'm going to move to Canada!!" either GO! or do something about it! It's pretty plain and simple, everyone in this country would be much better off if you would just leave or if you could help make a change for the better rather than just protesting or, doing some other lazy hippy activity(This means you Hollywood). A bit off topic but; I mean come on.... over a million illegals from Mexico flood the streets with MEXICAN flags and shut down businesses.... that is the most counter-productive way to get your point across... Last time I checked a bunch of people coming into your country without permission from another is called INVASION and they can be shot dead....Stop protesting a fence/border.
