How about a system for charging in a microwave oven? Pop it in, give it 30 seconds and you're good for hours--just don't put anything in that isn't microwave-chargable!
It's the same thing with alternators with field coils rather than permanent magnets. You need a small current flow before they'll generate any power. (Always know what kind your car has before trying to push-start it with a dead battery.. for several miles.)
Dial up UUCP, if you please. Besides, if the Internet didn't exist, someone would have invented Frotznet by now which would have been much better. Alas, that person got stuck in a Usenet flamewar and never did have that great idea. And so it goes...
Comes with a (non-working) light-saber and a million-zillion virtual Sith attackers! Also includes a webcam and high-speed connection for off-site backup of your workout videos (via Kazaa Lite)!
I was wondering why your post was informative rather than funny until I checked the link. The original Cantenna (Heathkit?) was a paint can filled with transformer oil and a 50 ohm resistor dummy load for tuning transmitters--not much gain there!:^)
Are they legally obliged to deliver all legitimate mail, or just not to drop it into/dev/null without any notification? (i.e. let the sender know that it didn't go through with an immediate 4xx or 5xx rejection?)
There is no SMTP promise of perfect delivery and plenty of reasons that a legitimate mail could be rejected unrelated to spam or viruses. If no 5xx rejections are allowed for any reason, they're asking water to run uphill.
I wonder what sort of awful sound was heard across the University as all the spams and viruses hit people's mailboxes and the various $YOU_GOT_MAIL sounds rang out, followed by cursing.
I'm sure that trying to run Longhorn on my current Win computer would be like hitting it with a very large hammer. (I wonder if they delayed the release to wait for Moore's law to catch up?)
The ISS will be in the sky over Toronto looking pretty tonight just after 10pm. With that and all the Victoria Day fireworks ready to go, of course it's going to be wet and overcast the whole long weekend. Poot!
Since it's GeekMan, I doubt it comes with a patented Kung-Fu Action Grip. (Now that it's old news, I guess I should change my sig.)

And if you've never read it, Heinlein's Have Spacesuit, Will Travel would be a good matching read for this. (It's in audio too, but I fear the eventual movie.)
That bear-proof suit was up for auction but didn't sell so maybe it's still available.
It also features a built-in video screen, a cooling system, pressure-bearing titanium struts, protective airbags, shock absorbers, a robotic third arm, built-in regular arms and swivel shoulders.
And best of all, they're pretty darn bear-resistant! Always important on Mars!
"Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow like a gray snake. Now it's another one, and another. They look like tentacles to me. There, I can see the thing's body. It's large, large as a bear and it glistens like wet leather. But that face, it . . . Ladies and gentlemen, it's indescribable."
They don't say what part he'll play. Perhaps he'll be the Big Giant Head from Third Rock From The Sun (an Emmy nominated role), or Enterprise'll visit a planet of humans whose civilization is based on Iron Chef U.S.A.

With the lightening gun, does he diet if you shoot him? :)
People? Oh yeah. Two people, what was I thinking?
How would someone smuggle in that much uranium or plutonium?
If it was a DDoS attack, it would have to have been a biiig one! I suspect a slashdotting would barely be a blip in their normal load.

Frequently for stuff that would keep bananas ripe for days without going mushy.

Isn't replacing the operating system to fix the left side of certain characters in certain fonts using a rather large hammer to solve the problem? :)
I saw a company whose motto was Carpe Sub Ubi. They never did respond to my résumé, perhaps just as well. :)
At least the motto isn't Ad Astra Per Goatse.

At what point did Latin get seperate characters for I/J? (Or is this neo-classical Latin?)
The insignia seems to be about "getting it up to the stars".

I think a suit from Queer Eye for the Martian Guy might also be a mistake.
Sprinkle the Iocaine powder on their All-Bran cereal.
