    Texting Behind The Wheel Should Be Same As DUI

    Actually my sociology professor would tell you that you only need 1000 people in a survey to generalize the group of any number. Not saying I believe it, but it's just something to consider.

    Electric Cars Will Kill The Planet

    Well that's nice for you, but some of us just got an 18% price increase. I assure you, if everybody gets electric cars then prices for electricity will surely go up.

    Electric Cars Will Kill The Planet

    Are we thinking of the same tesla? because im thinking of the tesla roadster and i wouldnt exactly call 7000 li-ion batteries a fuel cell. That and if you read the site they tell you that after 50k miles or 5 years the batteries will have about 70% of their starting performance. So that nice...

    Star fusion is proton-proton, deuterium-tritium would be much easier- would still require a magnetic field to contain it though.

    Electric Cars Will Kill The Planet

    The hydrogen can be stored as a metal hydride, chemically bonded to another element- at this point it can be released applying heat. As for the conversion process i am not too sure on that one, all i know is that they managed to get a 94 vette to run using hydrogen or gasoline, getting about...

    Electric Cars Will Kill The Planet

    well there was a 2 headed calf born 2 years later, but that happens in quite a few places regardless of the "radiation". aside from that though i dont think there have been any serious mutations, plus TMI was caused by failures on several sides, both design flaws and human error, and still was...

    Electric Cars Will Kill The Planet

    I dont exactly know why you are the battery fanboi, but i do wish you would actually read some of what's been put up there so far. If you had actually looked into what i was talking about you would see that i am referring to hydrogen combustion in a modified car that can run on both gasoline...

    Electric Cars Will Kill The Planet

    Kristofff i would disagree, converting an engine to run using hydrogen is quite a bit of progress. Not only does it remove a large foreign oil requirement, but the burning of hydrogen also does not release CO2. Now i know you're going to pull that entire "but the power has to come from...

    Electric Cars Will Kill The Planet

    no no, i wrote hydrogen, not water or some other thing. You should take a look at united nuclear, they are working on a system to convert a standard engine to run using hydrogen (read hydrogen, not water). The hydrogen is stored in the form of a metal hydride in a tank. The tanks are refilled...

    Electric Cars Will Kill The Planet

    there is no reason you cannot convert the engine to run off of hydrogen, it's simply using hydrogen as a replacement for gasoline, when you have an oxygen rich environment it will burn.

    Computers Make You Stupid

    I can certainly agree with this, with spell check these days there is almost no need to worry about proper spelling, all you have to do is get something similar to the word and then the spell check will fix it for you, and for the grammar im sure that wont be going on much longer either...

    Bill Would Grant President Unprecedented Cyber-Security Powers

    wow are you wrong. First of all, it's not right to tax one group over another just because they were more fortunate or had a better idea. Second, you really cant say that they stole 5 trillion through bush tax cuts because, get this, Bush was the president. Those tax cuts were voted on and put...

    AT&T and CWA Contracts Expire with No Strike

    yeah cause profit is such a bad thing. Here's an idea, let's just take all those extra monies and redistribute them to every American citizen. That's what, $40 per person or something, yeah that's a great idea, we'll just redistribute the wealth to everybody.

    White House Sides with RIAA in P2P Suit

    So if i decide to just go into my prefs and set my max upload to 0 then i should only be guilty of stealing? like if i went in a store and walked out with the cd? somehow i doubt they would treat it like that.

    White House Sides with RIAA in P2P Suit

    and dont forget, they say that the 150k is not excessive, which means we may likely see it increase. As it is 150 grand is a lot, when considering that nobody will be pirating only one track that number becomes even more massive.

    Video Game Sales Top $21B in 2008

    Alright, not only is that completely off topic about Exxon, but you obviously have no idea how the system works. With that said, this "recession" they are going on about is a buyers market, those with stable jobs and disposable income will be buying more things, not less. It is indeed a scare...

    New mobo with old raid drives?

    If you still have the gigabyte board you can always hook them back up to that, then get the data off them, unraid them, put the data back on, then switch them onto the vista and redo it there. Also, if you are doing hardware raid you should make sure you have that configured right on the mobo...

    Athlon X2 stuck to the heatsink

    assuming the cpu wasnt attached using a bonding compound you should be able to just take it, hold the heatsink and put it along the edge of a table so only the cpu is on the actual table and the heatsink is off the edge, then rotate the heatsink- this should let it pop right off without any trouble.
