  1. AMC Pacer on RX-8 Hydrogen RE a Dual Fuel Car · · Score: 1

    Back in the '70 AMC designed a car for the GM Wankel engine that they never produced. GM ran into so many problems they abandoned the design. Without the wankel AMC shoehorned a straight 6 into a space never designed to hold it. You could not see the last 2 spark plugs because they were buried in the firewall!

    My first thought was...

    "Young fool... Only now, at the end, do you understand.."

    as lightning flys from his finger tips!

  3. Oh brother on Microsoft Spending $120M To Look Smaller · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why don't they just spend $48 Billion and make it true!

    Yes, but only a village can raise a child...

    I'm sick and tired of both sides of the fence.
    The grass is brown no matter which side you look on.
    sigh.

  5. Best quote from TFA on Yahoo Launches Dashboard · · Score: 5, Funny

    10:40 Outside, a guy talking into his phone: "Well Steve Jobs is a fucking Jedi Master of this shit compared to these other clowns."

    I love this business!

  8. Re:The natives are restless.. on Bad Day To Be Sony · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just sent this comment to Amazon...

    This product violates Amazon.com's policies.

Therefore, items that infringe upon, or have potential to infringe upon, an individual's privacy are prohibited.

    Sony'd DRM rootkit violates my privacy by "phoning home" to report on my computer's usage. These products should be banned from further sale, imediately!

  9. Re:Hybrids are a Load of Crap on Hydrogen Fuel Cells Hit the Road · · Score: 1

    NOx emissions only occur when H2 is burned in an internal combustion engine. The high temp involved supports the production of NOx. Fuel cells do not operate at very high temps, so only water is produced. Nice, clean, distilled water.

  11. Re:The sad thing on How Computers Work -- Circa 1979 · · Score: 1

    The really, really sad thing is I read this book in high school in '71! I feel so old...

    Firefox on a PDP 8? No that's 12 bits... still expressed as 4 octals.

  13. Re:Life starts at conception on Stem Cells Derived from Human Clones · · Score: 1

    Actually life began ~4B yrs ago and has continued ever since. The rearrangment of DNA that happens at "conception" is merely a bud to a new branch on the ever expanding tree that is life.

  14. Re:you don't even have to be suspicious on Before You Fire the Company Geek · · Score: 1

    I had a few years left for qualifying for full retirement.

    You could have sued for age discrimination. Chances are you were not the only one. It is illegal to cull the older population to save $$ on retirement plans.
