    Not a libel suit, but rather /. is afraid of all the angry parents who would claim that his post would make little girls avoid taking classes involving computers, networks, etc., in much the same way that Barbie convinces girls to avoid math.

    Actually, the tattoo doesn't go on your forehead. It's just some little blue numbers tattoed on your wrist. The numbers are used to ID you upon entry into the showers, the ovens, the surgery, etc.

    No. He was infected by Intel. They even branded the "World's Most Common Warning Label" into his head, 'Intel Inside'. The doctors who removed the crayon probably removed the Intel Infection as well.

    ...Al, the plumber, who is quite the whiz with computers. In just an afternoon he manages to get the lightning working.

  21. Re:A more insteresting use: cars on Piezoelectric Shoe Power · · Score: 1

    Then I realized that cars bounce up and down all the time

    Dude, this is a part of what is called"ricing out." Persons with no taste and less intelligence add hydraulics to the suspension to make the car bounce up and down on command, effectively destroying resale value and making a HUGE reduction in drivability in one stroke.

    Thus, the car has to produce the energy to run the pumps, putting this into a loop of dimishing returns, as noted by the person talking about friction elsewhere in this thread:}



    Seriously, that is an interesting idea. The piezos would have to be prettty doggone tough to be worthwhile. Some of us are rather energetic drivers.
