  1. What? on Avalanche Safety Jacket to Help Extend Survival Time · · Score: -1

    The mouthpiece idea has been around for a while in the form of the Avalung http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/ski/avalung/avalung-ii .The idea is sound, but I think putting it into action would be a bit dicey.a) Getting it into your mouth before being swept away/while being swept away.b) Keeping it in your mouth while being swept away.Avalanches tend to thrash you around a bit, and they also tend to be a bit stronger than you. Probably if you got a good bite on it before things really got carri

    You didn't "fix" anything, you just swapped some words around in the sentence to express that you hold the opposite opinion as the OP.You also turned it into a quote that no one ever said.You also made yourself sound like a tyrannical would-be vigilante who obsesses about "punishing the wicked" with no regard to the actual effects on society.

    I was just thinking lately, I worry about the future of consoles. With PC DRM, the general consensus is that PCs can't play games years later because most likely the DRM servers are unavailable. It made me wonder

    My memory's a little fizzy^Wfuzzy, but they have a number of similar products in Japan and Korea, with some having been developed almost a century ago. About the only differences I can think of are generally less sugar (or at least not so oh-my-god-sweet), and no carbonation

  14. Re: on Consumers May Find Smart Appliances a Dumb Idea · · Score: -1

    My family recently moved to a tankless water heater. Where I had instantly hot water before, the new water heater made me wait 5 minutes with the shower on full blast hot to get it to an acceptable temperature. So much for being "green".

  15. Re:How long will peak rates be around for? on Consumers May Find Smart Appliances a Dumb Idea · · Score: -1

    If you want your hot water to reach your shower more quickly, remove the flow restrictor from the shower head. Seriously. I did this in the hopes of just getting a more satisfying-feeling shower and an unexpected side effect was that the hot water reached the shower in about 1/4 - 1/5 the time it used to take.Some of you may be worried about what such a move would cost. I live alone and only pay about $7 - $8 a month for water, so I really wasn't worried about the effect on my water bill. I did look for an

    Thank you for answering some questions regarding this new development. We, as a community, may be skeptical but we always appreciate hearing from you and your colleagues on these matters. Personally I hope to hear more of these sorts of developments.

    If you actually think that Microsoft is going to be anything but "relevant" for, oh, the next ten or twenty years or so, you're out of your ****ing mind.Then again, you're a freetard, so I shouldn't be surprised.Microsoft does what benefits them. Doing things that does not benefit them is not their job and is outside their purview, as it should be.

    iDie actually is an reimplementation in Lisp of the popular OS package iKill. It looks like the project owner had a little conceptual misunderstanding of macros and recursion.As nobody yet has found the bug, because everyone who tried to debug it has died misteriously, Sourceforge decided to clone the project and call it iDie.
