  1. Link to the Offending Image on Libya Takes Hard Line On Link Shortening Domains · · Score: 1, Funny

    The offending image

    Really, I think we can all agree Libya made the correct decision! =D

  2. Re:I'll Ask on G2 Detects When Rooted and Reinstalls Stock OS · · Score: 1

    It sits just fine with my vision of things. Clearly this is a terrible product, but that's OK because I can use my money to vote for a better Android device. There's no option to purchase a more option iPhone from a different vendor.

  3. Detention for Possession of Candy on 3rd-Grader Busted For Jolly Rancher Possession · · Score: 1

    I actually RTFA, and I actually RTF policy too. No where does it state that the possession of minimally nutritious foods is punishable. If anyone (besides the teacher assigning the detention) deserves punishment, and that's a very big if, it's the student that handed out the candy, not the one who accepted it. "FMNV may not be sold or given away to students on school premises by school administrators or staff (principals, coaches, teachers, etc.), [b]students[/b] or student groups, parents or parent groups, guest speakers, or any other person, company or organization." (emphasis mine) Of course, the detrimental affects of prohibiting sharing and other critical social activities far out-weigh any health hazards posed by that lone Jolly Rancher. Stupid stupid school

  4. Well... what happened?!? on NASA Tests Flying Airbag · · Score: 1

    TFS didn't mention it, but the helicopter and "passengers" (excluding the skids) survived the crash.

  5. Laptop Input Voltage on Geek Travel To London From the US — Tips? · · Score: 1

    Most laptops will accept a large range of input voltages, including both the US 110V standard and British 220V standard. Check the back of your laptop or your power brick to see what voltage range your's can handle. Likely, you'll only need a US-to-British plug adapter, not a full-fledged converter. When my wife and I traveled to France, the only items that couldn't handle the voltage were the electric toothbrushes. Thinkpad, Gateway, Ipod, and digital camera were all ready to go.
