  1. a new phenomena? on Motorists Sue Over 'Hot' Fuel · · Score: 1, Interesting

    i wonder how much the fuel actually changes... in my 12 years of driving i've never heard people complain about heat affecting gas pumps until now - and we've had a very mild summer this year compared to summers in the past.

    i do know the lawyers are going to benefit. the citizens in the class action lawsuit will likely not see much, if any, money - but i guarantee you the lawyers are gonna get a nice check.

    just remember that.

  2. Huge difference in show formats... on Jon Stewart, Lorne Michaels Come Out In Favour of YouTube · · Score: 0

    both the Daily Show and SNL consists of small blocks of "skits" and that's usually what's copied to youtube. so for their shows it's perfect. however, for other shows who are actual series and make lots of money from DVD sales they'd be hurt (financially) if their entire episodes were on youtube.

    both of these guys are stepping up to appear "champions for free content on the web", but i'd bet huge bucks that they'd be perfectly fine with viacom/nbc stepping up and saying, "ok - we'll just allow certain shows (Daily Show/SNL) to be a part of youtube".

  3. 100,000 votes = 275,000,000 americans? on RIAA Wins Worst Company In America 2007 · · Score: 0

    just saying.... that's not a lot of votes to make the claim of worst companies in america. and how can you hate walmart?! nice old people greeting you and low prices. it's awesome.

  4. we didn't listen! on NASA Confirms Solar Storm Near 2012 · · Score: 1

    who knew that hummers had emissions that caused solar storms. now we do and al gore must do whatever it takes to come out with another film and charge people $8 for the truth.

  5. not a bad start, but lame... on The Air Car Nears Completion · · Score: 0

    68mph will get you flipped off and why do the efficient cars have to look like ass?

  6. People just need SOMEONE to blame on Global Warming Endangered by Hot Air? · · Score: 0

    the earth has gone through much warmer spells than what we're experiencing right now - all without the help of SUVs. we just live in a day in age where we feel we have to blame someone (preferably someone with money) for whatever is going on. what about record snowfall in new york ( http://www.cnn.com/2006/WEATHER/02/12/northeast.sn ow/) or the fact that it's FREEZING right now in the south and it's march.

    the earth goes through climate changes, and guess what? there's actual evidence to prove this! yes we need to watch what we put into our environment, but to say that the reason the climate is changing because of humans...c'mon. use some common sense.

  7. Re:Just wait.. on Enormous Amount of Frozen Water Found on Mars · · Score: 0

    global warming is already happening on mars... http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=192

    but shhh... don't tell the "george bush and suvs are melting the ice caps" crowd that. give them something to talk about in their dull day.

  8. "Abused" seems kinda extreme on Audit Finds FBI Abused Patriot Act · · Score: 0

    but - it's the perfect word to get the anti-patriot act people worked up for sure. there's abuses in EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE. does that mean the whole thing is wrong and needs to be canceled? there's abuses in how abortions are performed and that's regarding a human life, not just a phone call. but you don't hear people getting as worked up over it.

  9. sim-climate on Geo-Engineering to stop Climate Change · · Score: 0

    humans wanting to play God again and it's gonna turn out bad, i believe.

  10. Re:Unlock any phone on Verizon Rejected iPhone Deal · · Score: 0

    some phones, yeah... but the iphone has particular features that the carrier has to implement themselves. for example - the iphone has the ability to listen to select voicemails. that's an ability no other carrier offers that i'm aware of.

  11. iphone.org on Cisco Sues Apple Over iPhone Trademark · · Score: 0

    wouldn't the creation of iphone.org show intent? it was created in 1999. but i think the main thing is that apple's product is a cell phone while cisco's product is something quite different.

  12. Re:EVERYBODY PANIC on 2006 Was the Warmest Year Ever · · Score: 0
    EXACTLY... amen. these "publish or parish" researchers have guaranteed their paychecks for a long while. i bet they're stoked.

    they've based their research on something the earth has done perfectly since the day it was born.

  13. People are freaking out on 2006 Was the Warmest Year Ever · · Score: 0

    this planet has already warmed itself out of 4 major ice ages - loooong before the Hummer was invented and George W Bush was born. the polar bears survived then, they'll survive yet another.

  14. Re:amazing on 'Plentiful' Non-Embryonic Stem Cells Found · · Score: 0

    or the hurdles we have to jump in order that unborn children aren't slaughtered. i mean, who cares? they're not even paying into our socialist social security. they mean nothing! take their stem cells then abort them, i say.

    what in jobs' history did he do before that manufactured a crisis for publicity?

  16. What a lame excuse... on Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose · · Score: 0

    Demo games, for as long as I can remember, were setup so that you got a taste of the game (one half in basketball, a few laps on a race game, etc...) and then it returned to a main menu. it didn't lock up the entire system.

  17. Re:SO WHAT! on Richest 2% Own Half the World's Wealth · · Score: 0

    exactly... everyone in the US has a chance to be a millionaire, period. as far as other countries, the US started from scratch just a few hundred years ago. it's time they get on the ball.

    http://www.sns.gov/ The Spallation Neutron Source is an accelerator-based neutron source in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA.

  19. They're asking the wrong question... on What's the Problem With US High Schools? · · Score: 0

    they shouldn't just be asking, "what's wrong with the school system?".

    "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE STUDENT'S PARENTS?" is more like it. and not just that the parents need to make sure their kids actually make it there or don't leave - but the values that the parents are to instill in their kids that they need to finish school. period. i hated school with a passion...but i never missed one day cause i knew i needed to go to graduate and that if i skipped and my parents found out they'd bust my ass. parental involvement is the key.

  20. Just 25 miles? on New Phone Uses GPS To Locate Your Contacts · · Score: 0

    I wanna know where my friends eat and sleep...

  21. Cheap Stunt on Utube Sues YouTube · · Score: 0

    their quite possibly just looking for some free publicity/advertisement by bringing this "case" forward. it's a baseless lawsuit because it's not youtube's fault if utube doesn't explain to it's customers on how to type in their website address.

    there are all kinds of websites out there that need some sort of explanation (includes a hyphen, uses 2 instead of two, etc...) and utube.com is another one of those sites that need explaining when being told to the customer. they named their company that back in the 80's - they're stuck with it.

    frivolous lawsuits like this should be discouraged by huge fines and the suspension/removal of the law practicing license of the lawyers who take-on/instigate such lawsuits.

  22. Re:10 reasons why the US is hated all over the wor on US Slips Again In Freedom of the Press Ranking · · Score: 0

    what's your real name cause i wanna enter you in the "douche-bag of the universe" award.

    the only reason america is hated is cause of jealousy. we do more for more nations than any other country could dream of.

    people love success, but despise the successful. that's just the way it goes.

  23. That's a BS Report on US Slips Again In Freedom of the Press Ranking · · Score: -1, Troll

    ANYONE in the USA can publish whatever they want and it will not at all be censored by the government. Hell - we even have FAKE NEWS shows like the Daily Show and Colbert Report. "downward spiral". What kinda jackass comes up with this stuff?

  24. And they wonder why... on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 0

    and they wonder why our kids are getting fatter and they're hyper in class... they're not getting exercise! i guess they just expect us to feed 'em diet pills and ritalin.

    noooo. crap. more laws? more government intervention into our lives? why?!

    i'm assuming you live in a neighborhood or else you wouldn't be commenting...but try selling your home while your neighbor has 17 parked cars in their front lawn. not gonna happen. homeowners associations are agreed upon by the residents of the neighborhood. don't like it - either join the association board or move.
