  10. Cool work shirts? on Cool Work Shirts? · · Score: 2

    You want cool work shirts? Have you tried tank tops or muscle tees? If you're of the female variety, you can go with the halter top, tub top, or even bikini top. Those backless shirts look pretty cool as well. All of these choices will keep you on a hot day, but when it really gets smoldering out there, I usually go to work shirtless.

  11. Winning on Tetris Is Hard: NP-Hard · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How the hell do you win at tetris? I remember it getting faster and faster but never ending. Maybe I just sucked at the game, or was playing a clone.

    We're in violent agreement. My point was that elimination of nvironmental risks won't eliminate cancer. If you look at the start of the thread, you'll see that assertion.

  15. Re:Cancer? on ECCp-109 Solved · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Well, I think your nose and throat are really susceptible to cancer if you smoke. But plenty of people get prostrate or breast or bowel or brain cancer who don't smoke or drink.

    These things obviously decrease the risk, but I believe that you can't eliminate the risk of cancer via environmental factors entirely. Cancer is one of those "shit happens" things about life. Our bodies aren't perfect, cancer is really a product of this fact.

    Re-read the offer. Karma/respect/beer redeemable for a crack only. Snooping around alone will not suffice.

  18. PanIP website on Patent Cases Hurting Small Businesses · · Score: 2

    The PanIP seems to be runningn apache, so they can't be all evil. ;) Seriously, the website seems to be showing the index page for the empty web directory - go check it out - there is one link "stats" - which doesn't allow access without a password. First person to crack their site and put up some proof (e.g. "we are blood sucking vampires") gets all my karma, respect, and a vitual beer.

    The last great experiment in having everyone pack weapons all the time: the old west. If 30% of new englanders packed, would the sniper still be doing his stuff? Maybe. Would new englanders be killing each other for instead of flipping each other off on the highway? Probably.

    The rotation is also good if you fall over and can't get up. Change the rotation and keep on hacking as you lay otherwise helpless on the floor.
