  1. Someday... on MP3/CD Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Wake me up when I can get:

    An LCD screen with SOMETHING that even remotely resembles a way of keeping track of 100+ tracks
    Great battery life
    A nice system for recording voice notes to myself (which, happily, is available to some extent)
    A system that won't die if it hits a single bad MP3 or a single non-MP3 file
    A way of making 10 or 20 bookmarks to the start of each set of tracks
    A +10 and -10 button for track selection


    And while I'm asking, I guess I also want a pony...

  2. Get used to it... on Walk-By DNA Testing · · Score: 1

    "ABMC will demonstrate its wipe-and-spray Drug Detector(TM) that tests for the presence or absence of crack/cocaine or marijuana residue on surfaces, such as desk tops, book bags and steering wheels. The patented Drug Detector kit includes an aerosol spray for either crack/cocaine or marijuana, 10 collection papers and instructions. It's easy to use -- just wipe any surface with a collection paper and spray the paper with the aerosol can. If it detects the drug residue, the paper will turn blue for cocaine and reddish brown for marijuana within seconds. "

    The best part? It's going to be on retail shelves of drug stores all over the country in a few weeks. And it's dirt cheap, only about a buck a use. Yes, I own stock, and yes, that stock is cheap as heck right now ;)

  4. Exactly... on Do-It-Yourself Sue Napster Software · · Score: 1

    I'm glad you brought up that last point. I logged into Napster recently and got a notice saying that I had been banned by Dr. Dre. The problem is, I don't have a single Dr. Dre mp3, let alone have one shared in Napster. After looking through all of my shared mp3s, I finally found a versus remix that includes an Eminem song that FEATURES Dr. Dre...but it was made by some music lover in his basement, and was a vs. remix, not a full song....I imagine quite a few people are going to find themselves in the same boat.

    Speaking of Versus remixes, anyone know a good place to find them? I guess I can't use Napster for it anymore...until I hack up my registry to get a decent re-installation.

  5. Hmmm... on Super-Fast Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    So basically, you'd have the ability to transfer your entire HD in under a minute and a half.

    Sounds like fun, but after an hour of showing off I can't say I'd have much use for it...

  6. How about... on Ask Douglas Adams About...Everything · · Score: 1

    When are your new books due out? No, seriously...I know that bottling up such potent humor and creativity must be giving you a nasty case of "Blue head." :) Niftyness
