  1. Re:Batteries? What? on GM Working on Feasible Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Some friends of mine made an electric bike using ultracaps... definitely the way to go. They can handle so much current that they're perfect for regenerative breaking, plus they have insanely high capacitance for their size.

    You will see electric vehicles using them.

  2. Mod Parent Up... on Second Life Mogul Challenges Press Freedom · · Score: 1

    He posts the Second Life Safari features at SomethingAwful, including the one that caused this.

  3. Or... on Second Life Mogul Challenges Press Freedom · · Score: 1

    Or he could just go ahead and NOT publish it all over the internet? Gee, what a concept!

    Sorry dude, you tell anyone your secrets and you've got to be willing to accept that they're no longer secrets.

    Sounds perfect :)

  6. Can we quit spreading this myth? on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1

    The other day I installed Ubuntu on a SATA drive. Let's see Joe Average try that with Windows.

  7. Re:Can't Stop A Large Mob on Can Wikipedia Ever Make the Grade? · · Score: 1

    So neutral in fact I have heard jokes about it and a generally polar issue. The editors of the racism article have even thoughtfully listed "Allegedly racist groups". Who else would try to remain so neutral as to imply that Aryan Nations is maybe considered by some to be racist.

  8. Re:Wikipedia to sell its Soul... on Wikipedia's $100 Million Dream · · Score: 1

    Or could it be that Wikipedia is the most prominent and exciting humanist project operating today and some rich dude wants the satisfaction of helping out?

    naw.... it's gotta be your theory.

  9. Re:Do not click that link at the end! on A Buckyegg Breaks Pentagon Rules · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Weird, timothy didn't post the story for him this time.

  10. Re:Think about what you just said on It's Official - AMD Buys ATI · · Score: 1

    What about publishing the specs for your new ethernet controller? This isn't the 1980s, why did nVidia force two people to cleanroom reverse engineer the forcedeth driver?

  11. Re:More than you believe on MacBook Pro Batteries Swelling and Failing · · Score: 1

    Capacitors are the easiest to fix. Order a bunch off digikey, get soldering and maybe you can have your geek membership card back.

  12. Re:Missing driver? on Linux 2.6.17 Released · · Score: 1

    Or they could just use the updated driver.

  13. Flash on AMD64 on Flock, the Web 2.0 Browser? · · Score: 1

    Wow, they managed to port flash to AMD64 before Adobe/Macromedia did. This truly is amazing.

  14. 2.0 Already?! on Places Feature Cut From Firefox 2 · · Score: 1

    So we're at 2.0 already.

    If it's anything like the jump to 1.5 I'll take my time updating my machines. A few interface tweaks isn't a major version revision. Are we on track for heading IE off at the big eight point oh?

  15. Yeah, I heard about this... on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 1

    The Starks have a saying: "Winter is coming".

  16. Re:OK... WTF is Gabber? on An Accurate ID3 Tag Database? · · Score: 1

    Does "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" ring a bell?

    Must have been before your time.

  17. I've always been meaning to ask on Home Network Data Storage Device · · Score: 1

    Can you use two power supplies and connect the grounds as a reference? Or is it going to explode?

    Thanks.

  18. Please on iTunes is Malware? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh shit! Apple knows you listen to too much Britney Spears! Time to get hysterical and post to a bunch of blogs from starbucks on your powerbook.

    I went from this:
    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Mouse1"
        Driver "mouse"
        Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option "MouseButtons" "7"
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7 4 5"

    to this:
    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Mouse1"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/wheelmouse"
    EndSection
    Functionality stays the same. It's getting there.

    Yeah, no shit. I like my thinkpad becasue if it's too bright, I turn it down.
