  1. Re:Pennsylvania on Interstate Highway System: 50th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    Welcome to my life. I grew up an hour west of Warren (my aunt lives in Warren), and currently live ~1.25-1.5 hours NW of it in Erie, PA, right next to the wonderful I-90. If you think the interstates are bad in PA, you should drive on some of the state roads. They will boggle you, they make rides on dirt roads seem smooth. I often wonder why we pay taxes here =/

    Thats what I get for not using the preview button. What I was trying to say was besides NYC and California, we have some of the worst drivers (it seems). Sorry.

    I can think of several more effective ways of applying pressure than a 10 minute time limit.

    So can I, like in the movie "Swordfish" (?? I think that was the name...) with John Travolta, he made some guy hack into something in under a minute while one of his 'girls' crawled under the table and did some investigative packet sniffing of her own on the hacker.

    Now THAT is pressure, especially for some guy who has only seen tits in his parents basement...though it was on a high quality widescreen LCD.

    I drive my 5-speed manual truck one-handed all the time (yes on the phone, though not that often, as I usually prefer music over a conversation), while still managing to use the turn signals....its not that hard.

    As for being able to react, I drive one-handed normally anyways, and how long does it take to throw the cell phone on the seat and react?

    I definately find that I have less of a reaction time if my fiance is with me and we are talking about something or I am gazing/staring at her than if I am talking on my cell phone.

    PS: I live in NW PA, next to NYC and half of California, we have some of the biggest idiots and oldest people (similar to florida in parts up here) driving cars.

  7. Pennsylvania on Interstate Highway System: 50th Anniversary · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I hope they didnt count the roads in Pennsylvania, most of them (at least in NW PA) are in such bad shape, they shouldn't count as being part of a 'paved highway' system.

    In a capitalist republic, politicians only have one source of income: taxes. If they don't keep to a reasonable budget, it isn't their fault, it's the fault of the people who voted for them.

    Ahh yes, because politicians never lie to get votes. Good thinking there, you wouldn't by chance be mentally retarded would you?

  15. New? on An IE-Based Tabbed Browser from China · · Score: 0

    Ive had this browser installed on my parents computer for over 2 years now b/c when I set up their computer many, many pages were still firefox incompatible pages (mostly gov't pages and other major organizations, which is all the pages my parents usually visit anyways - dial up sucks). I just recently took it off and put firefox on it b/c I have yet to see many pages FF wont load properly.

    Desktops with a hybrid of laptop parts are always going to beat out mainstream desktop counterparts in noise and power consumption.

    They will beat them out heat-wise, but have you ever heard some laptops compared to a quiet desktop?
