  1. Time to do more in Seattle by jetcityorange · · Score: 1 · on Dead Drops P2P File Sharing Spreads Around Globe

    I've placed a couple of dead drops here in Seattle (the gum wall @ Pike Place Market & the Fremont Bridge) but both are long gone. Looks like it's an idea whose time has come. Time to plant some more all over town... http://jetcityorange.com/dead-drops/

  2. I eat my pi[e] by jetcityorange · · Score: 1 · on 10 Ways To Celebrate International Pi Day

    The "e" is silent, right? Then my pi[e] counts too: http://www.jetcityorange.com/pi/pi-crust.jpg

    Wow - surely you could find a way to work in a Cap'n Crunch whistle?

  4. Policing the Police by jetcityorange · · Score: 1 · on Man Claims Cell Phone Taken By DC Police For Taking Photos

    This my friends is why we take video & photos of the police. Shine a little sunshine on them. Tip the balance in *our* favor. Prevent them from working unseen and unchallenged. http://www.jetcityorange.com/OccupyYourCamera/

  5. zonkdogfology is a GooglePig by jetcityorange · · Score: 1 · on Googlebot and Document.Write

    "Zonkdogfology" is a GooglePig. That is zonkdogfology is a Google probe, designed to plumb the depths of the plumbing and report back its results. Just like the pigs used in pipelines. You know, the real world pipes.

  6. WAV version by sych · · Score: 1 · on Combating Harassing Use of Mosquito Noise Device?

    WAV Version: http://www.jetcityorange.com/MosquitoRingtone.html

    I'm 25, and on my system it opens by default with Totem player... and I can only *just* hear it. The MP3 versions I found, however, were very audiable.

    If I open it with GNUSound and play it there, I *can't* hear it. It must be doing something different to what Totem does. I also used GNUSound to generate a 17KHz sine wave, and I can't hear that either.

  7. Mosquito ringtone as WAV file by jetcityorange · · Score: 1 · on Combating Harassing Use of Mosquito Noise Device?

    For those of you curious about the so-called Mosquito Ringtone a.k.a. teen buzz a sample as a WAV file is available online: http://www.jetcityorange.com/MosquitoRingtone.html I can' hear it and I'm 54. My kids can, and laugh at me. For completely different reasons I suspect.

  8. Re:Barcodes by jetcityorange · · Score: 1 · on RFID, Sign of the (End) Times?

    No, people CAN be barcoded. In fact, I've built a gallery of barcode tattoos.

    I'll confess that I own a barcode software company, which I guess makes me Satan's Little Helper. But I sure don't have no stinkin' barcode tat on me!

  9. batteries? depends. by jetcityorange · · Score: 1 · on Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No?
    The Battery Question is really several rolled into one. I have three kids who between them have a small arsenal of Gameboy Advances, CD players, boom boxes, MP3 players, et al. They go through batteries like a hot knife through butter.

    I on the other hand have basically one device that uses batteries: my Olympus C-5050Z digital camera. And unlike some who may pull their camera out for vacations, birthday parties, and the occasional group shot, I use my almost every day. I've exhibited my photographs, maintain two photo blogs (jetcityorange.blogspot.com & www.jetcityorange.com/photos), and see every problem as a photo waiting to be taken.

    I also shoot multiple pictures in relatively quick succession. Charging the CCD and writing to the SmartMedia card is hard on batteries. I've found that Olympus' NiCads are great if expensive and un-recharagable. My first choice are Duracell Ultra's. Why? Cuz when I first starting shooting a digital camera 4 or 5 years ago (I'm on my 4th) I stumbled across a battery recharger that claims to "freshen" (their term) standard batteries. And it does! Not only do I get up to 5 cycles in my camera, my kids can get 2 or sometimes 3 in their Gameboys and CD players, which seem to be less demanding of batteries.

    I got my battery recharger from Real Goods.

    And of course, your mileage may vary.
