    Yes, but I ran down the ZPM powering all my portable electronics for the last few years. My bad.

    Umm .. what?

    Wasn't Java originally designed to be this light, transportable platform that could be ported to run across every appliance in the house?

    Every now and then, they indent him with a large dictionary, no worries.

    Maybe not bad, just a little behind. It's all those Learning Wordstar, Understanding Lotus 1-2-3, Mastering dBase III books clogging up the shelves... Now they have Nutshell books for Linux 1.1, and that's good enough to get started.

  13. Re:Fuglesang! on Discovery Lands in Florida · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe Ikea could make a shuttle? So long as you've got one of those hex keys, you'd be laughing. (After getting it out to the parking lot and home, of course.)

    So you can power this thing by filling up with no-animal-harmed veg oil for free at the fast foods along your route. ("There's nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased Scotsman!") And I could cruise for free in an electric car by plugging it into people's outdoor electric sockets for recharge as I go. Or I could drive forever for free by sticking up gas stations...
