  1. Re:its just a car. on Toyota Demands Removal of Fan Wallpapers · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My 1996 SL-1 got rear ended by a 2005 Pontic Sunfire. I left with 1700 damage that they paid out of pocket. Her car was TOTALED. She was going 30, i was stopped. Explain why i get better gas mileage, survive crashes, and out turn Mustangs on windy roads with my 1000$ POS? Hell my 74 Dodge Charger get 20mpg, and i have NEVER been nice to that gas pedal. New cars suck. Hard.

  2. ATT on Why Your Clock Radio Is All Abuzz About iPhones · · Score: 1

    All devices on the AT&T network do this. My old cell did it, but my Verizon now doesn't. The TV station i work at has banned AT&T devices because it goes through the audio mixer and out to the world. AT&T users must check cells at the door.

  4. Big business on Why Is the Internet So Infuriatingly Slow? · · Score: 1

    Comcast and the rest have no reason to deliver what they advertise, because there is no penalty if they don't. Bloody head on a post out side their HQ might get us some of that speed that overseas users enjoy every day. Apparently one of the America freedoms is to abuse your customers, and not give them another choice.

    I just get a bigger battery. Its cheaper than a SSD, and i don't drop laptops. If i drop my laptop, i deserve to be without.

  6. Problems on Terror Watchlist "Crippled By Technical Flaws" · · Score: 1

    The only problem with the watch list is my buddy Bob Smith. Real guy, accountant, nice Audi. He's on the list. He flies about 70 times a year for his job. Every time it takes him about 4hours to get through security. It's things like this that cause people to snap and become terrorists.

  9. Re:Dirty thieves on Expensive Books Inspire P2P Textbook Downloads · · Score: 5, Interesting

    My record was a published-on-site book by the professor, $276. Useless. We opened it ONCE in class, and maybe 4 times out of class. By the 2nd week i returned it to the book store claiming i got the wrong one, and 4 friends and i shared one. The prof drives a Cadillac. He doesn't need my money. I do. Tuition is $38,000/yr. He's one of those guys who thinks engineering should be expensive and hard to learn so there are less in the field, so they can charge more.

    ERD can claim ownership of an entire drive. Takes about 11 seconds. *Right click on C:, properties, claim ownership button!*

  11. Re:Flaw on Microsoft Helps Police Crack Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Look up ERD Commander. It will walk right though your security. It can access all your files, and even change your password. All you have to do is boot from the CD, and there is no way to stop that. You can disable it in BIOS, but i can get past a BIOS password and you could unplug the drive, but i can boot it off USB on most new systems.

    If you are running windows
    no matter what version:
    Security is a lie.

    I went to KU with him, i drove that truck. We can pull the treads off and the tank drops right into the bed of the truck. Thats how we decided how big to make it. Im jsut glad he got that diesel, the 10hp gas was really having trouble moving that tank. Will Tolstoi Foster is the most brilliant person ive ever met. Check out the BLITZKRIEGWTF user on YouTube, Its him, and his crazy shit, including the TX Tiger Tank. I still have his model tank we cloned (1/32 scale) sitting on my shelf.....i should prolly give that back.....

    A girl i know brought a 19inch HP LCD over to my dorm room, saying "FIXIT!!!" No backlight, but the thing still had a picture, and it smelled like sulfur. "Erin, what happened when it quit" "it filled my room with black smoke" "oh...." *unplugs* so i popped it open, The transistor that does the DC to AC conversion in the back light inverter had exploded. I mean, really, like took out the Cap next to it, and cracked the PCB. The thing was 9mo old, with a 6 month warranty. BTW, it was nice and clean inside, no dust at all. She took good care of it. Is that even legal? i know for cars thats called a lemon if it lasts less then a year, and you get a new car, FREE.

  20. Re:Reasonable idea on California Utilities to Control Thermostats? · · Score: 1

    Just make more power! DUH. HOW STUPID ARE THESE PEOPLE. If they have the funding to do this wireless shit, i'm sure they can slap a few solar panels on houses to relieve the load problems. But i guess that makes too much sense. The American way is just make everybody's life harder so the profit margin goes up. Electricity is VERY easy to make, i make it myself (4kw). I don't understand how the whole west coast can't make it. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!
