DIY Computer Video Microscopy For Under $50
cybrpnk writes: "The QX3 Video Microscope may have been an obscure commercial failure as an educational toy, but it is widely available (for now, at least) as a fantastic tool/toy for any geek. The QX3 hooks up to a USB port and delivers live color 10X, 60X or 200X microphotos at 512x384 pixel resolution. Its kid-friendly software even makes time lapse videos a snap, like this one of TNT synthesis - a whole new way to blow up the lab, do not try this at home! Educators are doing amazing things with the QX3 in their classrooms.
Sourceforge even has documentation on the software command structure used by the QX3, so it may be considered an open source microscope. Get yours today for under $50 at surplus closeout or EBay before they're all gone!" The Toys-R-Us nearest to me has one QX3+ left (now with my name on it) at $30, so I hope it really does work under Linux. And it's a lot less complicated than building a Scanning-Tunneling microscope.
Hey!

By the way you shouldnt be reading, what with the big failed blackout and all.
Marlow ceased, and sat apart, indistinct and silent, in the pose of a meditating Buddha. Nobody moved for a time. "We have lost the first of the ebb," said the Director suddenly. I raised my head. The offing was barred by a black bank of clouds , and the tranquil waterway leading to the uttermost ends of the earth flowed somber under an overcast sky -seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness.
It then kicks you to the Microsoft IE download page.
Funny - I think Opera IS a qualified substitute for the very reasons they think it is not.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Today marks the beginning of The (Hopefully) Great Slashdot Breakout. It runs for 7 days. People, go experience some real life for a while.
This is so gay.
This is good!!!

Yep. I just tried it on my Sharp/Zaurus 5000 PDA and got the same result with Opera. They seem to be discriminating against Zaurus users also.

Hi there. Today, I want to talk about a subject near and dear to all of our hearts.
WAFFLES.
There are many types of waffles. Some are belgian, some are fruity, some come from Waffle House and taste like baked shit. Some have sugar in them, but it's rumored that this is a European Communist Plot to make everybody fat. Some are "Eggos", which you are supposed to "Leggo". Some are cheap and generic, others cost upwards of a thousand dollars for a single helping. There are those you eat plain, and others go better with toppings, such as powdered sugar and Maple Syrup.
My favorite type of waffle is Belgian with fruit and stuff on top. Now that's a fucking good waffle. But there are other options... in fact, there's something for everyone!
Yes, waffles. A timeless American tradition.
WA-WA-WA-WAFFLES, EAT ONE TODAY!
This has been a presentation of the National Waffle Council.
