Kill it with fire!!

WTF! Chrysler has decided that their abysmal attempt at a small car, the PT Cruiser, will continue to be built. Much to the delight of retirees nation wide. I guess it's still better than the Caliber.

Slackers

Universities and Corporations the world over spend billions of dollars every on environmental science research every year. They are all trying to develop the next great technology for recycling to help save us all from drowning in our own trash. Of course some High School kid has figured out a way to break down waste plastic faster than all of those fools.

Still hot

Tiffani "Amber" Thiessen is still smoking hot.....and funny too.

Oops.

Microsoft's highly anticipated (especially by me) Windows 7 operating system isn't publicly available yet but it has already been cracked by nefarious pirates in China. Effectively this means that if you were so inclined to search for an "RTM" version of Windows 7 on the torrent networks you could then crack it to a fully functional Ultimate version.

Christmas has come early.

Creepy shit

Why wouldn't your loved ones want a 3D reproduction of your head in which to keep your eternal remains? Fucking creepy, staring at you with those dead eyes....

AT&T's bitch.

Well, Apple is officially AT&T's bitch. Come on Apple....grow a fucking spine.


Who needs whom in this relationship? Personally I think it's time for Apple to end its exclusivity agreement with AT&T and just sell the iPhone outright for any carrier. The only technology that is bespoke, from a carrier stand point, to the iPhone is Visual Voice Mail.

After the latest OS3.0 update I'm 90% satisfied(fucking battery life is still a joke) with my iPhone but AT&T continues to find new and exciting ways to let me down. Horrible 3G coverage, lackluster 3G speeds and customer service that makes me long for the Spanish Inquisition. Where is my tethering support and MMS you useless bastards?!!!!

Well duh.

Finally someone has figured out that a jet turbine powered hybrid car would not only be BAD ASS but really efficient as well. Ever wonder why jet engines ushered in the era of air travel? They have so many advantages over internal combustion engines.
  • Much more fuel efficient than ICE (given similar loads).
  • Power to weight ratio is much better (weight is the worst enemy of MPG.
  • Much smaller than an ICE at similar power levels.
  • Can literally burn anything as fuel. Alcohol, kerosene, ethanol, bio-fuel, etc.
There are some drawbacks though.

  • Generate massive amounts of heat. Easy problem to solve on a airplane traveling 500MPH but a different story when you're stuck in traffic on the highway.
  • Really god damned loud and hard to muffle without seriously effecting power.
  • Expensive to produce compared to ICE. Jet turbines require exotic metals and materials due to the high heat and extreme tolerances of the moving parts.
  • No one wants to be near an 80,000RPM turbine if it comes apart.

Neighbors...LOL v2.0

Remember a the story a couple weeks ago about the psycho that was insisting that his neighbors lawn chairs were eyesores? Well the story continues and even more hilarity ensues.
