The Swiss Army Knife of USB Drives
Mudzy writes "The Tech Zone reviews what has to
be the coolest Swiss Army Knife ever made. The Swissmemory USB Victorinox is the
first knife to be equipped with a USB flash drive. " Besides 64 or 128mb of data, it includes such useful items as a ballpoint pen, red light, scissors, nail file, and not surprisingly, a knife.

Damn you! Damn you all to hell!

You beat me to the punchline.

Not really trying to troll here, but I saw this wonderful gadget on newegg at least a month ago. Either the submissions for today are that crummy already (it's only 9am here!) or we as slashdotters are losing our edge on posting tech stories as they happen. Come on now people, let's not let any more of these slip through the cracks!

If you're going to pay for the advertisement, at least make sure your server can handle a slashdotting...
If you want Bush to win elections, set the os level global option in smb.conf to a higher number. It defaults to 20. Using 34 would make it win all elections every other candidate (except other Bushes).
An os level of two would make it beat Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, but not JF Kennedy. A JF Kennedy Domain Controller uses level 32. The maximum os level is 255.
If you want Bush to force an election on startup, set the preferred master global option in smb.conf to yes. Bush will then have a slight advantage over other potential presidential candidates that are not Preferred Presidential Candidates. Use this parameter with care, as if you have two candidates (whether they are Carter, Kennedy or Bush) in the same country, both set with preferred master to yes, then periodically and continually they will force an election in order to become the President Of The United States.
Just like adding a nail file and a small retractable blade to an iPod (which would make juast as much sense - only more useful as it plays music and has bigger storage...)

get your free iPod![This really works! - I have only 2 more referrals to go, my buddy already got his iPod (I should have gotten into this earlier
Ah yes, the car always breaks down at the most inconvienient moment, like when you're running from some rednecks father carrying a shotgun.
your sig links to a site similar to freeipods.com - where you sign 5 people up for 5 offers and get a free ipod (or flatscreen in your case). I have signed up (haven't referred anyone yet), but I have to wonder - are these legit? Scams? Has anyone actually received anything from them?
Better yet, they don't allow knives (like my small Victorinox Classic) on board, yet they allow glass bottles (beer, wine and such). IMO it's far easier to attack someone with a full wine bottle than with a 2" knife. I still don't understand.
How many of you suckers are paying slashdot for the privilege of reading these ads?

Whoa, dude! I am so glad my girlfriend and other fellow campers don't read /.!
This is where the serious fun begins.
But you definetly need mayonnaise on your fish sticks.

A bomb isn't much use as an anti-bomb weapon (you could blow the bomber up, but you tend to score a bit of an own goal that way). However a gun is an effective weapon against a hijacker armed with a gun. This is probably why sky marshals prefer to carry them rather than, say, halberds.
