Well, given that you are using flammable (possibly could even use somewhat explosive) substances to do this I'm sure with the proper mistakes you very well could have just that...
Has anyone though about using the phosphorescent powder's available from United Nuclear? I'm sure you could create quite the lava lamp in this fashion..
The two do seem to complement each other well don't they.. Now if we could only build our own plasma globes too... But I suspect that will have to wait for a while.
We need to make a game where people jump off a cliff and kill them selves to finally clean out the shallow end of the gene pool? Sheesh. People will say anything these days to shift blame from themselves.
Well, the story line isn't perfect.. But I think it's close enough... Try using Stair Dismount it should fit the bill well enough...
If you purchase something from Best Buy, Office Max, Staples or other stores that have a triplicate recipt for credit cards that have seem to not work when swiped you can take advantage of that situation pretty easy... I'll spell it out for you.
0. Contact your bank and request an additonal check/credit card.
1. Purchase a Rare Earth Magnet with your new card. Be sure to pick one of the larger magnets available..
2. Store your new card with your new magnet for about a week or so.. Whenever you think about it swipe the card past the magnet a few times... This will ensure that the magnetic strip on your card will be completely destroyed.. Thus they will never be able to scan this card.
3. Now go to the store that uses said evil thermal paper recipts and purchase something with your card.. Smile as they break out the 1980's era credit card imprint tool..
4. Profit?(or at least don't lose your proof of purchase)
You now know how to avoid the problem in the first place while not making a scene demanding a proper receipt.

When I first started dating the girl I married, she'd lay a bastard sword between us when we went to bed, to make sure I behaved myself. And she kept a 9mm H&K under her pillow.

Well of course someone is offended by your desire to hunt, fish, play games and otherwise be a man. It's long been understood that acting like a "real" man does not (nor ever will??) blend well with society's ideas as to what is acceptable..
It's just a sad fact of life that my girlfreind will never accept that I NEED a.50 caliber handgun under my pillow at night. Nor will she understand that I also NEED a ~25mW green laser pointer that can pop balloons. I also don't expect her to understand that I NEED 425HP to feel like a car isn't a hunk of junk... It's just what I like and what I want.. It's me, It's who I am, yes... I'm a man, deal with it.
An interesting point here is that whenever I play online games(Delta Force, Task Force Dagger for those interested..) it's often amusing to me how such a violent game can be so full of really polite people, as a rule cussing is out of bounds, and whenever somebody shoots me in the head from 1000 meters I tend to compliment their shooting rather than flame them for killing me.. I mean all you have to do is press the space bar to respawn after all...:)
I find it hard to understand that these people who are so anxious to remove games like this from the market don't ever tend to look at facts like these. I feel the freindly atmosphere evolves because you're already releasing all of your anger and stress while playing the game, so you feel much more freindly and relaxed. Just my 00000010 cents.

Solving a Wiring Mess?
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
I certainly second this viewpoint. HV equipment is not to be toyed with in the first place, and although I have been known to work on equipment that was really way too HV for the general public to work on even I would not take on that mess, it's insane. However, with the disclaimer below, I will give a hand here.
DISCLAIMER: If you kill/maim/injure yourself or burn down your place of business based on the information below I in no way take any responsiblity for your actions or the information which I am about to provide, further, you should work on the assumption that all information provided in this post is both (a.) inaccurate and (b.) completely false. Given that you do not take this disclaimer to heart and decide that you should like to attempt suicide with HV equipment, please read on.
Ok, really repairing electrical wiring is pretty easy overall, the real danger comes from the power that is usually coursing through given wiring. To fix the problems that you have described (vague as your description was..) I will assume that your problem lies in the wiring and nothing else (transformers etc..).
First thing to do is SHUT OFF THE POWER AND INSURE IT WILL NOT BE TURNED BACK ON UNTIL YOU ARE DONE!!!
Let me repeat that,
SHUT OFF THE POWER AND INSURE IT WILL NOT BE TURNED BACK ON UNTIL YOU ARE DONE!!!
First thing you will need to do is figure out what gauge of wire you are dealing with and what type of sheilding is on the wire, this can be acheived by stripping a peice of the wire and taking it to your local electrical supply store, ask them for as much as you think you will need to to the job plus about 10 % for comfort. I would suggest buying several different colors to help keep things straight in the next step.
Next, simply trace each wire one at a time and replace it with new wire, cleaning contacts is also a fine idea at this stage. Make sure that you do not hook up something wrong.. Doing this ONE WIRE AT A TIME is the only way to ensure that you do not screw this up badly.
I will also assume that your circut breaker is in decent shape, otherwise replacing whatever is aged there is a fine idea too.
Ok, now, check your work and make sure that you have everything done correctly and that there are no loose connections (loose connections are a great source of sparks and heat which can lead to ignition)
Ok moderators / sensitive slashbots, I'll apologise in advance for even responding to this, but it's rare a troll provides such a good opportunity to make them look dumb,dumb,dumb(more so than they already do for themselves...). And yes I know this is terribly OT, but considering the article is already a day old I doubt that anyone is really going to mind a bit more noise in the ratio..
Please regard the following response as a joke, or if you are really humor impared, simply regard it as a form of correctional material that was most sorely needed.
Posted by Anonymous Coward on Friday August 08, @11:45PM You seem to hate Microsoft so I'll assume you are a linux user. What are you going to do in 6 months when Linux requires an SCO licence? You're parents won't pay for it. Well, I think at that point you'll have to have sex with men for money on the street, but that's ok because you already do it for free.
Ahh, but what do we already know about assumptions??:)
You've just found out about Murphy's law, take heed dear troll, as you certainly have ample opportunity to learn here..
I am a.NET developer, as such I do find great humor in anti-Microsoft comments, especially the ones that are right on target, however I am most definately not a Microsoft Hater.
Am I a Linux user? Yep.. However, I've never used the 2.4 or later kernel, so guess what? I'm exempt from SCO's little extortion scheme.
And, as for your last assumption that wasn't just a flame. I don't live with or rely on my parents for money, sorry to disappoint you yet again..
Geez, I guess that's three so far.. But wait! There's more!!
As for your flame, I'm not sure about this, but you, dearest troll, have assumed that either (a) I'm female because I have the name Cory OR (b) I am going to be really hurt that somebody would insinuate that I am gay. As you may have guessed, I'm not a girl, and well frankly, I'm not gay either, however I've always been amused when people actually ask me if I am... ("No I'm _not_ gay, but thank you for asking"......:) ). And for crying out loud, just because you have to pay for sex doesn't mean everyone does.. LOL!
So, what have you now learned here dear troll? Hopefully that Murphy's law can hold quite true, you have made no less than four assumptions that were exactly 180 degrees off, that is to say they couldn't have been more wrong if you had tried.. However, I will be glad to advise you on several techniques that you may find useful in the future when flaming me:
(1). Always look at a users last few posts by visiting their profile, if you're really wanting to dig use the search feature.. This can provide valuable knowledge about who/what a user is and what might actually be a safe assumption and what might anger them.
(2). When trolling try to pick on people who tend to end up with a lot of -1 comments due to their tempers and quick knee-jerk responses. These people are generally good targets for your childish behavior.
(3). Whatever you do, should you see a post from a user named: (a)Micheal (b)CmdrTaco (c)CowboyNeal Flame these users heavily, as they will surely provide a most dramatic response to your troll-posts.
(4). Should you ever run across one of my posts again, and feel like flaming me, please by all means flame away.. I almost regard it as an integral part of the slashdot experience, however using the above #1 and #2 may prove most valueable to you in your quest for good trolling material next time, and will keep you from looking like such an idiot.

Although other than that silly observation I must say this was really informative and fun to read, I just hope that I live another 80 years to see the advancement we've made by that point in this and other scientific fields, we are moving forward today at such a breakneck pace it's truely amazing, and if we were to continue at the same pace for the next century the advancements should be really amazing.

I don't know if I've ever seen one person who could potentially have so many different requirements to use their image... Especially a DEAD person..
