  1. I thought I saw where they didn't have to pay any federal taxes last year?!

  3. Zipper Face on What It's Like To Smoke Salvia For Science (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    After you take a hit, it's similar to the wa-na-na-na-na-na endless loop like you get from nitrous, then you get shrinking tunnel vision, and as you go from seeing with your eyes, to seeing with your mind, it feels like someone is running your face through a zipper.

    It seems like you can feel the salviated (lol) blood make its way through your bloodstream. Sort of a slightly warm feeling progressing through you, but when it makes it to your capillaries, it feels like someone blasted you with a flamethrower, but from the inside!

    It can really set you up to have a bad trip when it's kicking in... But after you make it through zipper face and the blood boiling beneath your skin... Then it's fun for a few minutes.

    I have seen a few people try and get "as high as possible" on it by hitting it over and over until they can't hit it anymore, and they were absolutely miserable for about 10 minutes. Super fucking high, but not having fun at all.

    DMT is way better (supposedly)

    If you could sterilize the terrorists with a biological weapon made from similar genetic mutations it might help.

    Or something to create problems with their joints or connective tissue, severely limiting their ability to move. Bonus points if it can spread within a certain race. Double bonus if it is also passed to their future generations.

    Nerve gas is so old school.

  6. GMosquitos have been released before!

    Even Google did it.

    I kinda wish Microsoft would have kept WinMo (ce) going. I'd probably still be using it today.

    It was nice having a phone that was not designed as a surveillance tool.

  8. What sucks is we didn't detect it until it was past us, and it was only about 25 million miles away at its closest point.

    I'm not paranoid, but that was close!

    I used to help the city auxillary direct traffic, and that is exactly what they taught us to do.

    You never waive someone thru without making eye contact, and being sure you both know where they are going.

  15. C-rate is a measure of the rate at which a battery is charged or discharged relative to its maximum capacity.

    So a 1C rate means that the battery will be fully charged or discharged in 1 hour.

    What needs to happen is all the old fuckers that have sold their soul to take as much as they can from us to their grave need to be held accountable, no matter what "side" their on.

    a. Powerful error detect and corrective function
    b. Static wear leveling

  18. I know, but it is another opportunity to control an interface to the processor.

    There was another console that was defeated by a faulty USB stack.

    Think of all the fun someone could have being able to send whatever they want into the wireless stack of the main processor after it has been booted.

    You're not giving some very smart console hackers credit!

  19. Or to try and jailbreak the console.

  22. A Bluetooth to RS-232 adapter works well, but if you're already using a BT keyboard, you may be out of luck if you can't connect to both at the same time.

    And who's to say the other ones don't repeat? Perhaps it only repeats every hundred years? Or million years? Or it's a continuous signal that is not always sent in our direction?

    If a signal was coming from an orbiting body with rotation, especially on a wobbly inclined axis, it may be a long time before it is broadcast directly at us again.

    It might be a very repetitive signal, even a constant signal, just not always pointing directly at us.

    Like a wobbly top with a single laser beam coming out of it, think about how long it could spin before the laser beam hit you directly in the eye.

  24. Re:Application or virtual ISP on Will BitTorrent's Paid 'Fast Lane' Violate 'Net Neutrality'? (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    I have this now with AT&T.

    If I use Fast.com I can only get 20 - 25 Mbps, anyone else I get 90 - 100 Mbps.

    When I called to have it checked, the AT&T guy that came to the house said it was probably Netflix being too overloaded to send data any faster.

    This was 11AM on a Thursday morning. Hardly peak Netflix!

    I told him this is probably a net neutrality issue as Netflix could send me enough bits to start my house on fire if AT&T would let them, but they currently throttle my connection so that I can't watch a 25Mbps 4K video.

    I asked him if he wanted me to check with a VPN, but he told me all he could do was check it on Speedtest.net with his AT&T issued tablet, anything else I would have to call and complain.

    I said why do you think you're here?

    We laughed.
