    My grandfather was a chemist and worked in the lighting gas industry in the 1920's. The city of Halifax recycled waste into methane for street lighting.

  13. Re:Screw it.. I'm moving to NZ on How Patent Trolls Stalled a New Transit App · · Score: 1

  14. There are bags out there..... on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Device Holster? · · Score: 1

    Recently I went hunting for the right bag for my needs, and found a few deals on a range of bags. On the overkill end I bought a used Briggs & Riley leather briefcase that is large enough to hold every portable computing device I own, or probably ever owned. If it was scruffy, I'd be temped to use it for grocery shopping or Home Depot excursions. Beautiful workmanship. Down the scale a notch I found a Mountain Khakis Field bag. http://www.mountainkhakis.com/products/accessories/bags/field-bag.cfm Along my travels I discovered RedOxx for very reasonably priced aviator duffles, http://www.redoxx.com/Aviator-Duffel-Bags/150/150/deptThose are the excursion bags for hardware shopping. and DuluthTrading: http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/product/fire-hose-field-bag-43129.aspx?kw=bag&processor=content#detailtabs for a durable, though slightly small bag. Duluth, please make one that fits and protects a 10 inch tablet, but not so large that file folders fit in it, because then my girlfriend would appropriate it.

    Lassie sat by the grave site for weeks, until Gramps lured her away with pie.

  18. Re:Battery on Hardly Anyone Is Buying 'Smart Guns' · · Score: 1

    Don't worry. It fires a warning shot every hour to let you know it's time to change the battery.

    Be sure to turn off the auto-aiming function, located in the advanced settings menu, before putting your gun away.

  19. Re:Tragic, but useful on Hardly Anyone Is Buying 'Smart Guns' · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Surpassing Vista on Windows 8 Passes Vista, Hits 5.1% Market Share · · Score: 2

    You probably forgot about "Bob"

  22. Re: lets try to get rid of the 115 jobs as cost 2 on Lenovo Announces Grand Opening of US Manufacturing Facility · · Score: 1
