  Before - for many reasons, but mostly because the letter hight and whitespace actually convey a hopping or jumping action. I have posted an overlay to show what I mean. Also, the before conforms to a smaller grid of pixels...
• Commented on Disposable laptop design
  Disposable cameras only made sense because the physical film (a single use item) was the most expensive part of the device. Still, I like the incorporation of paper in a digital device. Reminds me of the sandbender laptops from the...

• Commented on Hiding Your Sexual Orientation From Your Parents 101 (teen-made video)
  Dear h4x0r, Formally thinking about your unbiased remark. How sir, can you make that kind of statement? Your remark was stupid, oppressive and rude. Only you can undo the damage. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger...

• Commented on "Happy Splasher" could face charges for driving through puddle to drench kids
  The lesson here is: People who don't own a car aren't worthy of staying dry. Think about it. The driver (in the video) would have found it much less humorous if the kids had instead been lobbing water balloons in...

  25mph ??? Even restricted mopeds are allowed to go 30 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moped I agree with bcsizemo that: "EV's as they currently exist are doomed" - but I don't think that we can blame the technology. Even with our limited batteries, homebrew...
