Funny, my submission seems to be getting more interest than some of the the other boring posts recently... "OMG!! Clicky keyboards, what will they think of next?!?!?!"
Just think of this as a nice little diversion so that everyone can share some personality quarks with everyone.
It seems that every time something great comes along to stir the pot such as Replay TV, something happens to ruin the fun. I am sure ATT will kill that little JEM before the ink has dried on the contract.
This reminds me of the Horizons ride at EPCOT ages ago. One of their three ecosystems to be tamed was a desert wasteland, and how advanced robots would mine/farm the land. These robots could detect rain, air pressure, and everything!
We should add "medical doctor" to the Core curriculum. This would be a great way to cut down on the ever increasing costs of medical care. Since everyone is now a doctor who can self diagnose their own issues and self prescribe their own cures, we will have successfully cut out a huge middleman in the medical industry. Thank god I thought of this. I am off now to tell congress of the plan going forward.
I believe STEM degrees pay much more than other degrees, but unfortunately too many students in college today are delusional about the career paths they choose when they are 18, new to college, and partying all the time. They do not understand how their choices are going to affect them after graduation. I have tried to steer numerous people away from a psychology degree and into a STEM path, but they are too interested in their vision of helping some misunderstood child love their parents again.
Everyone of the psychology graduates I know are employed in some mediocre job outside their field.
This reminds me of a great episode of the Planet Money podcast:
"How The Burrito Became A Sandwich"
http://www.npr.org/blogs/money...
If there is a Tax, there will be a loophole, and a fix, and a loophole, the burrito becomes a sandwich...
While I do not recommend going this route, as there are vendors that make enclosures for electronics exposed to uncontrolled weather conditions, but at one point in my life I wanted a TV on my back patio. Not only did I want it at the far edge of the patio, practically in the middle of the back yard, but I wanted it to be stored in a metal enclosure out of which it would rise on electric actuators when it was in use. When the TV was not in use, it would be lowered back in the box. I welded this whole thing up, including a very loose cover that rested over the top of the box with a lip that went down the side about an inch. Air could move in an out of the box, as there was no seal. The put a 37 LCD, cable box, actuator, and DC power supply in the box.
I was told in other forums that I would have to have this thing designed as if it "was mounted to the deck of an ocean-going ship"
3 years later, everything still worked perfectly, through the baking Florida sun, torrential daily down pours, sprinklers, and morning fog. I think once secret to the setups longevity was the cable box. It stayed warm enough to keep the interior of the box relatively warm and dry. It still worked when I sold the house.
YMMV. Check L-com for some enclosures.
Double Wrong...
TFA states "...disabling its units from flying over the DC area..." This describes an area, not a building.
And from the grammarist.com - "If you’re not talking about any of these capitol buildings, then the word you want is probably capital."
Last time I went into a radio shack last year, I needed a USB A to mini A to charge my MiFi hotspot, I had left my cable at the airport. Its a pretty ubiquitous cable, but when I could not find one and asked, they were like "Oh we dontt carry those anymore" How can you not carry one of the most common USB cables in the World? No matter, their other cables were > $20 anyway. I ended up getting the cable at WALGREENS!! for $4.
I am actually going to put this in my outlook calendar and see how well the predictions are. They sound right on the money. Will report back in 3 months.
Slashdot Mirror
I would love for you to expand on this...
A conservatives answer to every issue. A tax break...
Whow... Whow... Whoow... Lets be careful throwing around Rush like that...
I was specificly interested in what slashdotters carry, so browsing some other site is not going to do it for me.

Open your filing cabinet...
What is the biggest file you have in there?
This is a clear signal that something systemically wrong with the system.
OOOPS!! I have embarrassed myself in front of the entire internet. Sorry

I'll lose all my mod points I handed out, but does anyone think it a bit "creepy" when someone uses the term "our leader"? Seems a bit nationalistic.
scary stuff

WHAT! Actually give the passenger some comfort? The airlines would never let that happen.
Ok, Give this person a point... This is the type of joke my dad would have come up with.
