    The pro-MySQL "guy" can't pee standing up, either. "He" is a she.

    Just keepin' it real. Gotta love the internet.

  2. Re:A solution without a problem by Thng · · Score: 1 · on Xerox Reveals Transient Documents
    Well, I can't say the same about Xerox's paper yet, but waterless urinals do have a purpose.

    Rocky Mountain NP's Alpine Visitor's Center, for example has them. Why (other than being near a bunch of hippies in Boulder, CO)? The visitor's center is somewhere around 12,000 feet and its water and sewage needs to be hauled.

    So, perhaps one day, someone will come up with a GOOD use for this paper. Maybe sensitive but unclassified type docs that you really don't want to sit around for too long, but need to print. Sure just use a copy machine... but how long before copy machines can ID the paper, and refuse to copy (much like with paper money now) or will only reprint it on the same special paper, and be illegal to circumvent? thng

  3. Already done! by thejaded1 · · Score: 1 · on To Flush Or Not To Flush

    This has been achieved actually. Researchers found that they can significantly reduce splash damage by designing a urinal, with the only caveat being you have to hit a hot spot. So, how do you get the average male to hit a target, when the usual response is -not- to hit a target?

    The solution, was to have a simple insect, the fly, etched on said target.

    According to the net, first introduced in an Amsterdam airport. (http://www.urinal.net/schiphol/)

    Googling for "urinal fly", or some variant, leads to a bunch of sources, although I can't seem to find the original news article about it.

  4. Sure. by ThousandStars · · Score: 1 · on Is Computer-Created Art, Art?
    If this is art, and a big, important deal in modern art, then anything can be.

    Or maybe modern art is a big joke, like some recent literary criticism.

    why is it do you suppose, that they haven't started sticking advertising in bathrooms

    Coming soon to a bathroom near you?

    Of course there's been advertising in bathrooms ever since there was a bathroom if you count the "Call 0900-HOTSEX for a really good time!" type.
