the best reason not to do stuff while driving is pretty simple to me. if you're just watching the road and hit a kid, you're going to forgive yourself eventually. if you're dialing a phone, you never will. that mental insurance alone is worth it to me.
I made this for my ibook cause I like getting examined by men at airports wearing white latex gloves:
http://digitalsushi.com/home/mikec/spycase.jpg home depot (they national?) has these in all their stores right now in the toolbit section. 19.99. it doesnt come with the foam, but, well, its foam. deal.
cheaper IS better. more sponsors will get interested as it becomes more realistic to be involved. lots of little projects guarentee more successes than single large projects. its like raiding your drives, or not putting all your eggs in one basket.
You: (driving your 2004 Toyota MallRunner) yeah I couldnt believe it, Dharma was standing on this table and Greg couldnt get her to-- Phone: beepbeep You: Oh, hey I have another call, hold on a sec. *hit talk button* Phone: *in Majel Barrett voice* Warning. 18 wheeler on collision course. Impact in 15 seconds. You: *hit talk button* Heya mom listen, I gotta take this call. Call you back. No, you hang up.... no, you hang up.... No-- Agh! *your SUV crashes into another SUV Phone: beepbeep You: *talk button* Majel: Lateral damage to plastic roll bar, port side. You: Thanks Majel! Geordi: But you dont have to take her word for it! BUH DUH DUH
Does anyone remember that perl module that would "listen" to the mp3 and decide which musical genre it thought it was? I'm not referring to matching the ID3 tags against something... it would make a guess based on stuff like the tempo and frequency range, et cetera. (I have no idea how it actually works, and I have no idea if it is even real. I just know I read about it a long time ago and figured someday it might be something a nonprogrammer like me could use)
i have a feeling that slashdotters have a higher frequency of motorcyclists than the general public. why do i guess that? motorcycles have the hacker element to it, if you look. they're not mainstream, they require a working knowlege of the machinery to keep it running on a weekly basis, and most of all, to respond to your allusion of linux advocates (those people in their safe little redhat environment who've never been outside), I surmise this crowd has a much greater understanding and thus respect of physics, making some facets of motorcycle safety nothing more than common sense to them. So either way, slashdotters who ride motorcycles, or slashdotters who stay nerded up in their parents basement, are likely to understand motorcycle safety, be it first hand experience, or just using their head and applying a little common sense.
I'd rather lose five fingers than one eye! I think. Well, if they were like my left pinky, ring, middle, and right pinky and ring. Otherwise I dunno. Still. Ewwwwww
heh, i have a comcast IP. i'm in NH and it says I am in Michigan.
As an aside, updating that physical location information is really easy. For instance, in north america, all our IPs are dished out by the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). ARIN wants any contiguous block of IPs larger than 7 to have the information filled in. if lying doesnt work (your admin figures out that you're just too far out of the way, like 2 states over) you could just bribe them. or flatter them, like "heh, wouldnt it be funny if you could update that info... hahaa too bad you cant. yeeep. cant do it. be a genius if you could though." i'm an admin for a/20 and i would do it ONCE for a large mushroom pizza.
one of these days, prison is where all the thinking people are going to end up and run the outside world from. and our prison utoptia will be the land of guarded walls and milk and honey and high speed internet, and we'll all hang out all day reading books and surfing the web and writing more laws to keep us safer from the outside, while they slave away paying to keep us incarcerated, blissfully unawares of their own capture, as the walls grow outwards and the outside becomes the inside. and our uniforms will regress to suits and the the mobius strip will turn once again. btw im drunk
I've always wanted a feature that would automatically save every single thing I pull off the way on disk for me with the file hierchy in place. I would just mount my web directory and save it there. I make tons of archives of things that were difficult for me to discover and store them all in a public directory with indexing enabled. I see google hits every few minutes with keywords locked exactly on what it was I searched for long ago. Everytime someone pulls some funky HOWTO or FAQ out of there, I grin, knowing I just saved some random person some random amount of time.
I just love having my own troll... I think it's just so cute! I wanna hug him and take him to the mall with me. I like to daydream about the day I meet my troll and I dress him up and do his hair:P
Was it really respect? Kids learn early on how to be little fakes. Respect at that age can come only from adults, or self. Self respect like "I respect myself enough that I just failed every single other classmate who took the bio final by blowing the curve, and I dont care what the repurcussions of that are". Not "they like me... they really like me!"
everyone on slashdot's got a bully story, be it on one side or the other. i'd like to hope that most people would find physical abuse only a shadow of what a good mind game can do, but now i'm wondering how likely that is. as a high schooler, i'd have rather been slugged in the arm a few dozen times rather than have my shoes made fun of. no one's ever suggested where bullying stops and assault begins, though.
how many of you parents taught your kids how to fight? and how many taught your kids how to block, but not fight? and how many of you just dont condone any of that? i wanna know how the 2003 slice rates up.

You spelled ecchi wrong.
only is it wasnt homemade... best way to store that stuff is in ice cube trays, btw.
I hear ya. I never wash the hamper either. Just get a new one every 6 months after the clothes let go of the wicker.
a message that would mean.... what, exactly?

A guy who worked here put it best: There'd be a lot fewer accidents if all of our cars had 8 inch spikes sticking out of the steering wheel.
i'm an old man? actually, what you said really makes very little sense. i say ewwwww all the time in real life, too. neeener neeeener

tubgirl being third or fourth, and who knows from there *shudder*
at least at first, but then we remember stories like this one and realize maybe it ain't as bad as it could be.

Has anyone ever been fired or denied employment due to the discovery of an ancient usenet post?
