    If he's such a handy guy, he could've just wirenutted the wires in the boxes and put blank plates over them. simple and neat looking! Also, i replaced my old analogue thermostat with a programmable digital one years ago and havent looked back. Lots of people use them and they are an excellent technology.

    It's a good thing that France has such strict gun ownership laws. Those terrorists might have run into difficulty shooting everyone had one of their law-abiding victims been armed! Good lord, could you imagine that happening in Texas? There'd have been at least two old men returning fire in under five seconds.

  9. Hahahaha, good ol' TempleOS on The Schizophrenic Programmer Who Built an OS To Talk To God · · Score: 1

    I've been claiming to use this as my operating system for years. People in tech IRC rooms get pretty frustrated when they think anyone would actually use it. Another of my favorite things to do is to ask people to stop spamming the chat because it's wasting my ink ribbon. People get annoyed when I tell them i use a Teletype 33 for irc.

    Yeah, well we also got here by fucking the females right after puberty and suddenly (in the cosmic scale) that's off the table. The only thing that's changed is the definition of "child."

  22. Re: The world we live in. on New Nail Polish Alerts Wearers To Date Rape Drugs · · Score: 2

    I had a friend who worked in a lab that police/paramedics would send various blood samples to for drug testing. He said that in a 4 year period, out of all the hundreds of date rape drug test requests, 100% percent of them showed nothing but alcohol. He said it was a real eye opener for him, how people (in this case women) underestimate the power and simplicity of alcohol. Drinks can be mixed that almost completely mask the taste of booze. Now I know that this was only in his particular state, and not all states will have the same results, but I still think it's telling over all. Be less worried about pills getting slipped and more wary of the fact that alcohol can completely drop your inhibitions,

    You know, here in the US, residential electricians dont really differentiate between 110 and 120 volts, it's all functionally the same. I assume that those in the EU dont either.
