Although a lot of these nominees are just hot chicks who are actresses in geek favorites, there are several certified, sexy geeks on the list. I have yet to be nominated.

An "anonymous" teacher named Karen from an unnamed middle school in the Austin School district just doesn't seem to get it. She wrote an angry email to an organization that GIVES free laptops loaded with Linux to bright school children. She accused the organization of doing the students a disservice by steering them away from Microsoft and promised to investigate whether they were up to something that was illegal.

Excerpt:

No software is free and spreading that misconception is harmful. These children look up to adults for guidance and discipline. I will research this as time allows and I want to assure you, if you are doing anything illegal, I will pursue charges as the law allows.

This email is so unbelievably ignorant to come from a teacher that I almost question its authenticity. I am guessing that she never googled "free software." Perhaps she's never heard of google and only does her searches from msn.com...

For some reason, they decided to censor the last name of the teacher and the school at which she teaches. Being the douche that I am, here are the names of ALL Karens who are teachers at Middle Schools in the Austin Independant School District:

Karen Bailey - Martin Middle School
Karen Brennan - Martin Middle School
Karen Case - Murchison Middle School
Karen Ciesla - O'Henry Middle School
Karen Donsbach - Bailey Middle School
Karen Greathouse - Clint Small Middle School
Karen Green - Murchison Middle School
Karen Harris - Covington Middle School
Karen Jackson - Bailey Middle School
Karen Noyes - Murchison Middle School
Karen Schipper - Kealing Middle School
Karen Terry - Mendez Middle School

While the Big 3 Automakers are begging for the Federal Government to save them from their own shitty business decisions, they are also doing their best to hide innovations by any other US Automaker. Take for example, the AFS Trinity XH-150 Extreme Hybrid. It is a concept Hybrid SUV that gets 150 MPG. But because none of the big 3 invented it, they are using their influence to prevent people from finding out. How?

At the LA Auto Show (heavily sponsored by the big 3), AFS Trinity was told that they could get a space to show off their car...but only if they wouldn't advertise that the car gets 150 MPG (as per an email from Scott Webb, LA Auto Show Assistant General Manager).

Yeah...lets give these brilliant car companies another $25,000,000,000 to supress technology that consumers want. I hope some Japanese company or VW just buys the technology and blows Detriot out of the water. Preston Tucker was unavailable for comment.

Better keep your keys in your pockets. Those crafty Computer Scientists have done it again by developing software that can make working copies of regular house keys from pics as crappy as cell phone pics.

I have to agree 100% with this list. These ARE the best 10 Sports Video Games of All Time. I even agree with the order.

If you've never played Soul Caliber, you really need to play more video games. Here's a nice list of characters that probably won't make it into a Soul Caliber game (with Soul Caliber illustrations). The SC version of Mario is freaky.

There are basically 3 things that a CPU does. OR, AND, XOR (one OR the other but not both). Here's the domino explanation of how it works.

Nono...not that kind of running on water. Anthony Quinn claims to have invented a process of FUELING a car on water that gets 100 miles per OUNCE. Check back here to see if the oil industry "buys him out." (you didn't think they got rich by writing a lot of checks?) If not, then he is probably full of shit.

Think Sierra will approve?

Maybe I will understand this one day. According to a poll, parents believe that showing sex in a video game is far worse for their children than showing a severed head.
