  1. Re:Outperform? on MIT Electric Car May Outperform Rival Gas Models · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well my Saturn uses 300watts/mile. Not bad for a total conversion cost of under 3grand. That's what...112mpg?

    BTW, your a jerk.

  2. GeekSquad and the like... on Undercover Cameras Catch PC Repair Scams, Privacy Violations · · Score: 1

    ...are a bunch of assholes give us GOOD repairmen bad names.

  3. Re:Encryption plan on Making Cesium Atoms Do a Quantum Walk · · Score: 1

    Once they build, then harness this computer, we still have to wait 10 years for them to figure out how to program it without reading data, after all, once you observe the data, it will be changed. It's kinda like Safely Remove in Windows XP.

    By using Plug and Play technology as it was intended, you have corrupted all your data. They invented a technology, and couldn't implement it, so it's useless, and some day they will figure it out.

    my guess this girl is under 10. thus is still in the age group you can track with out "ruining their lives" never expect a 10 year old to be responsible, expect them to be 10.

  8. Re:I'm a geek, but... on New HDMI 1.4 Spec Set To Confuse · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Its the HDCP that is the problem. The more fragile cable is just stupid, but good old DVi can go well beyond "HD" without DRM. And that is how is should be. And yes, i have the adapter, came with my GFX card, but my GeForce7900 can't to HDCP, so its useless. I'd trade any of our "freedoms" in America for a DRM free life. As soon as DRM hit bigtime, i stopped buying content. They have lost a customer for life.

    I want DVI back. I wont buy a TV with out DVI. HDMI is easy to get. DRM makes HDMI that works much more expensive. I repeat, i want DVI back.

  13. Re:Just what I was looking for on Replacing New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain · · Score: 1

    if hte last one fell off, i don't think its safe to build a new one, let alone a tourist attraction. This will cost lots to make safe.

  16. Re:Tiger direct sucks on Dell Sues Tiger Direct For Misleading Customers · · Score: 1

    Never had a problem with Tiger, ever. I wont shop anywhere else after Newegg double billed me for a $600 camera, then told me that they did it as a correction because i was undercharged because the price on the web was wrong. The camera was 499. I was billed this twice. The camera was only 509.99 on tiger. I returned it to newegg, and got it from tiger. I have over 100 orders with tiger, and have found their returns(only had to do one, ever) smooth and painless. I will never shop Newegg again.
