  1. Re:Fuel engines and taxation on New Gasoline Engine Prototype Claims 3X Current Engine Efficiency · · Score: 2

    It's all the prop up the Ethnol industry that gets funded by our tax dollars. No one wants E85 so they are forcing companies to make all gasoline E10. Heck, soon you should be seeing E15. What a joke...

    Ummm...Gearbox is working on it now. Guys who did borderlands. I was down at their party they did here in Vegas Monday. First six levels fully playable. Of course the event was held at Deja Vu Strip Club too XD

    Uh wut? I just stopped believing everything you said once you said you spend $50,000 a year on upgrades. Either you're a moron or you're, a liar, or you work for OnLive. $10,000 could be believeable, but you're numbers are so out there, no one's going to do anything but mock you.

  6. Re:What about on Online Impersonations Now Illegal In California · · Score: 1

    Let's go with yes. You do know what they do on that show is actually illegal right? Yeah they out them in public, but they didn't get a single conviction. The judges just threw the cases out on their asses because of the thing we have called due course and laws about collecting evidence & entrapment. There's a reason this guy who was a bit mentaly handicapped ended up on the show a few times. I just wish the show had been stopped before someone commited suicide because of their less than upstanding methods. They were all about as low as the pedo's they were looking to catch imo. It's great to catch these people, but not at the expense of "our" standards.

    But won't someone think of the children!?!?!?

    Oh yeah, and great choice of going AC. A show that outs AC's, and an AC defending them...

    Naw, I'm going to go for AVP2 as being the low point. AVP was at least fan service. The only movie besides Fantastic 4 I've ever fallen asleep while in the theater, and at least I was running on 48 hours solid at F4.

  11. Re:Wait... on USCG Sues Copyright Defense Lawyer · · Score: 1

    Illegal for sure, but make the punishment fit the crime, and burden of proof be on the media companies. At most, these people being sued should be liable for 2-3 copies of what they infringed. When someone steals a DVD from a shop, you don't make them liable for every copy in the store, and then some. You make them liable for exactly what they deprived you of. Most of these people downloading anymore are uploading incremental bits to various users. All those bits assembled into one piece barely make up 2-3 whole copies, and thats IF they aren't leaches (which is rare) who don't just dine & dash once they have what they want. At that, especially bit-torrent they can only prove you have a complete copy or not because your client only relays that info to them.

    The punishment just needs to fit the crime, not be a life changing event because you downloaded the greatest trash single of the month.

    or more likely that those scary governments are more likely to stick to paper, or are paranoid enough of the US spying on them they have some levels of counter espionage in place. For the most part, the US Gov. says they care, but their actions as a whole don't work to keep things secret. Really, you never saw this level of mass leakings prior to the digitalization of what used to be purely on paper. Before it would take you month of digging through stacks of maybe/maybe not shredded documents. Now all you need to do is open up a piece of software to have access to gigs of searchable data, or just wait long enough for a few drives not to be discarded correctly.

    Which is funny since thats about the only thing keeping BB from being uprooted, but as more phones get it, BB better do something interesting quick or get dumped. Hell, at my work they give me a BB for this purpose, but are opening up the floodgates to allow iPhone's & iPads through Exchange. I almost shat myself in disbelief, but guess things get done when the right VP wants his shiny toy to work with the network. Can't wait to dump this BB I lug purely for for the email when my iPhone works just fine.

    Yeah, but people have to decide if they will comply with policies. Blindly complying with what someone else tells you to do doesn't release you from all responsibility. People can quit if something isn't right.

  15. Re:not fastest on Auto Industry's Fastest Processor Is 128Mhz · · Score: 1

    Ummm...they are so different it's disgusting. Automotive CPUs have to be mil-spec specifications with industrial reliability. It has to be when the consequences of failure can easily lead to death. If your whiz-bang dodad of a GPS unit fails they don't have to worry about your engine's timing being spot on every time, every second, of every day, autocorrecting continually to keep it from throwing a rod, and all but killing the engine, or brakes suddenly not responding correctly.

    Oh, and your GPS unit doesn't get hit by the dirty power supply correctly if made right. The power hits a conversion to the internal battery the unit then pulls from. Of which, you can still kill those hokey little GPS units real easy from those dirty power sources cars provide. Thankfully your going to have a 5-10amp fuse keeping things from going sizzle sizzle.

    Haha...you ever work in corporate IT? They are so damn cheap it's hilarious what they will do to keep those machines going. It's especially amusing seeing how much they would rather have me bill them to keep that machine going rather than just replacing it. At least those caps & PSU have to die some day!

    Oh, and ethanol has pretty much been a scam for corn farmers from day one. Still a bit annoyed they put ethanol in regular gasoline because it's fractionally cleaner. Fractionally cleaner in a sense that you have to burn more volume to get the same distance as regular unleaded gas whiiiich ends up being just as polluting. Gawd it makes me angry these people pushing for ethanol can do fractions, but not division. Wooo...two for two in the random segway rants XD

    Last I checked it was the American Taxpayer that was paying for it. Japan & South Korea got a pretty sweetheart deal getting USA to cover the bulk of their defense.

    I really wish we could have seen the full unbridled version of the opening. Maybe some storyboards will surface eventually. I'll bet you almost anything that the North Korean animation operations are pretty substantial given they didn't want to talk about it for good reason, and their conditions I'd bet are pretty horrid. Watch the Simpsons? Support North Korea! Wooooooo what a publicity campaign!

    The thing is, Facebook was never intended for someone who is in that kind of position. It was built for STUDENTS, and by god I wish it still required a school email account. People who can post stupid crap, and not have it ruin their life yet. I've checked every Facebook profile of prospective employees. Most of the time I've found out I don't want them once I see their profiles. Runs the gamut from drog use, alcoholics, to straight up racism I've found, and narrowly dodged said bullets because of Facebook and people's inhability to not put every last detail of their wacked out life on FB page for the whole world to see. It's almost as good as a background check. Profile private? Just add them, few people pay any attention to who is adding them.

    Once hired? I never look at their profile again unless were actually friends.
