Mine started heading downhill at 21 for some reason...

Used to work on large batteries...

On: Batteries To Store Wind Energy

I was a electronics tech on a submarine and had to deal with our battery bank, 125 or so 2 volt batteries, each about 2 foot by 2 foot, and approx 5 feet tall. They required a lot of maintenance and we always had to worry about something happening causing them to explode (there is a lot of energy in batteries that big) just from that I would say this sounds like a bad idea`

Reading the Fucking Article

On: An In-Depth Look At Game Piracy

I know I'm one of the few that actually did, and trust me 95% of the time I don't but for anyone else who did, Anyone else think it's to much of an indictment against pirates and not enough against DRM?

Re:DST Is Insane

On: Daylight Savings Time Increases Energy Use In Indiana

I say, if it takes a 1% energy tax to keep ben frank's dream alive keep at it. Also, to clarify where I stand, fuck the metric system.

The simple answer?

On: Two New Class-Action Suits Against EA Over DRM

I know it's like an open secret here, but why not just pirate the damn thing? I got started doing this in the 90's when it was hard, now even joe the plumber could do it. If you were really self righteous buy the game after you get the pirated one up and running. Not all downloads work, but at 90-95%, it's better odds then the DRM Crap. Side note, every once in a while to assuage my conscience I will buy a game (specifically if I liked the previous iterations) and even then I'm batting .500 at best. And I'm lazy, irresponsible, and disorganized so I loose those fucking cd's all the time. so I say fuck it.

Re:I've got a better idea

On: 1000-mph Car Planned

I'm saying this as a question, because your math (physics?) is obviously way fucking better then mine, I saw in print some article about a guy who got an extra stroke (or 2?) out of an IC engine using the heat given off. So how much would this add to your equation?

How much?

On: Scientists Erase Specific Memories In Mice

I would gladly pay about 100 bucks to erase the memory of the time I woke up on the wrong side of the Island in Hawaii, in the back seat of an old ford taurus with a 300LB Samoan girl asking to me wack off so she could watch.

The Giant is awakened

On: Intel Details Nehalem CPU and Larrabee GPU

I say this, as an admitted AMD fanboy, and in hopes that they can make a comeback, to once again force intel into a frenzy of research and development. I Can't help but imagine that AMD exec's are saying something along the lines of Isoroku Yamamota's famous WWII post pearl harbor quote, "I fear that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant." It's all gravy for consumers so one can't help to be happy at the current developments. However to ensure future happiness for consumers, one must also hope for an AMD Comeback.
