  1. Sorry, we are going to have to let you go. on Montana City Requires Workers' Internet Accounts · · Score: 5, Funny

    It has come to our attention that you lied or omitted information on your employment application. We have found out that you neglected to mention that you registered at creative.com 8 years ago to download some drivers and 3 years ago at dvorak.org/blog when you posted "get of my lawn".

  2. Re:Seems rather silly on Segway, GM Partner On Two-Wheeled Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Can I get snow tires for it?

  3. Do the calcuation where you live on Switching To Solar Power — Six Months Later · · Score: 1

    You can calculate how much solar energy you get per year by using solar radiation data collected by the weather community. http://www.wunderground.com/calculators/solar.html . You can then use this information to do a calculation on what solar panels will do for your particular location.

  4. Re:Peoples Republic? on New Energy Efficiency Rules For TVs Sold In California · · Score: 1

    And then people complain that the cost of living is so high for low / middle income earners and they need more assistance from the Government. Environmental regulation in the long run costs everyone money. If one is for this sort of thing that requires EVERYONE to change their lifestyle. One can't just demand more money/breaks from the Nanny State because cost of living suddenly increased. Government begets more Government.

  5. Need a different approach on Saving Energy Via Webcam-Based Meter Reading? · · Score: 1

    Forget the OCR, you need to just monitor the lowest ticks of the meter. Monitor when the dial makes a complete revolution and you can base all your calculations off of that. I believe this meter is different than yours but it may give you some ideas. http://www.btinternet.com/~jon00/electmon.shtml

  6. Re:I've already seen this on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 2, Informative

    For a real life version http://snurl.com/3ft80

  7. Re:Sad day on Mars Rovers Facing Budget Cuts [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Like TANG!

  8. Two halves on Best Presidential Candidate, Republicans · · Score: 1

    The Ron Paul half and the non Ron Paul half.

  9. Good on Startup Claims to Make $1/Gallon Ethanol · · Score: 1

    Now we can get rid of the subsidies

  10. Truth comes out on Time Warner Cable to Test Tiered Bandwidth Caps · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I tell you, there is no pleasing some of you people. First people complain about cable companies limiting people for offering "unlimited bandwidth" and say that they shouldn't say unlimited if they don't mean unlimited. Now someone comes out with a plan for limited tiers and people complain that there are caps in place. Personally I'd be OK with just paying for what is used say $5.00 per month + $2.00 a GB for example, however companies may never do that because you don't get the big profits on the people who use the min, which is most people. That way if you use more you pay more, use less and pay less. Internet would be far more attractive the general non geek public if it was cheaper than $45 or whatever a month when all they want to do is just surf the web and do some email.

  11. Re:This is a capitalist economy on Helium Crisis Approaching · · Score: 1

    Oh don't worry, they will start to capture it when the price goes up.

  12. Re:Oy vey on Vinyl Gets Its Groove Back · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only raving lunatics think the old albums are better.

    That is probably accurate.

  13. Looting on FCC Requires Backup Power For 210K Cell Towers · · Score: 1

    Since power and generators in particular are in very short supply after a disaster such as a major hurricane, what is going to prevent people from just looting the generators for their own needs? Seems to me they would be high priority targets. Hey need some way to watch that new flat panel

  14. Re:Stealing? Or Sharing? on Wi-Fi Piggybacking Widespread · · Score: 1

    So if someones house is open then it's ok to go in and check it out and use the bed? If someones storage shed is unlocked then its ok to use their mower? Really if you want to use something that belongs to someone else or someone else is paying for then just go ask them. If you can't at least do that at worst you are a criminal and at best a coward.

  15. Re:not this again... on Vinyl To Signal the End for CDs? · · Score: 1

    Unless the recording process is analog, the sampling rate argument is moot. You can't digitally master a recording and then claim that vinyl has a more realistic/natural sound because of the sampling rate. Better toss out pro tools and get out the reel to reel and tube compressors

  16. Re:Gov't Funded Research Should Be Non-Patentable on Three University of Wisconsin Stem Cell Patents Rejected · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The government already funds all sorts of research in the form of defense contracts to corporate bidders. Those corporations can patent their innovations. You aren't going to see open source DoD funded missile guidance systems up on sourceforge any time soon.

  17. And.... on Science Fair Project Exposes GlaxoSmithKline Lies · · Score: 5, Funny

    I would've gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids.

  18. Re:Spelling error on Ramanujian's Deathbed Problem Cracked · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think you imagined the "i"

  19. Wireless Wire on New Details on Xerox Inkless Printer · · Score: 1

    Too late, Bluetooth

  20. 81,000 discs confiscated on RIAA Arrests Pro Artist for Making Mixtapes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    81,000 discs confiscated and on the itunes store. Hardly "for promotional use only". He is a pirate and get what he deserves. Any real commercial mix compilations gets the tracks licensed from the copyright holding label. He gets what he deserves

  21. Nothing to see here on Future Plans for SWG? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, article NDA out of existence.
