  1. Probably the same people on Majority of Young American Adults Think Astrology Is a Science · · Score: 1

    who thing Stephen Hawking is a cosmetologist

  2. infrared non-contact thermometer on Ask Slashdot: Server Room Toolbox? · · Score: 1

    I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet. Get an infrared thermometer ( they usually shine a laser spot on whatever it is that you are trying to measure).
    Very good for finding hot spots in racks, also tells thou how hot your coffee is with out having to sip it and burn your mouth.

  3. Re:How do they handle... on ERP Vendors Get Into Medical Marijuana Business · · Score: 1

    Actually, you CAN tax illegal things. That's how they got Al Capone: tax evasion.

  4. Mine detection on Bomb Detecting Plants To Root Out Terrorists · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is something they've been kicking around for minefield detection for a while. Seed a purported minefield with grass that behaves differently in the presence of explosive, then wait and you can see where to avoid and send the demolition crews.

  5. Dune + Ben Hur? on Sunshine Writer Joins Logan's Run Remake · · Score: 3, Funny

    They don't need to make it, it's Ben Dune (been done)

  6. Re:bad spelling in variables/etc get me on If the Comments Are Ugly, the Code Is Ugly · · Score: 1

    I think you mean it is a 'bare' to deal with. :P

  7. Theatre's & restaurants next, huh? on South Carolina Wants To Jam Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Hopefully movie theaters and restaurants do it next.

    Yes, because if there is one thing that I would wish of my theatre- and restaurant- going experiences, would be that they be more like prison. :P

  8. Medical gel packs are water based on Silencing a Hard Drive Using Household Items · · Score: 1

    So putting them inside your computer might not be a very good idea.

    On the other hand, they are non toxic, so if they do leak, at least your computer won't be poisoned. :P

  9. Re:Would a plugin hybrid actually save money? on GM, Utilities Partner To Advance Plug-In Hybrids · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes, but 90% of the energy from gasoline ends up as heat, not in moving the car. Electric motors have much higher efficiencies.

  10. Talk less on Cell Phone Use Study Sees Increased Cancer Risk · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe its because they are talking all the time, drying out their mount and their salivary glands are stress to compensate.

  11. Re:DTD? on Is Dedicated Hosting for Critical DTDs Necessary? · · Score: 1

    No, that's

    "BDBDBDBD"

  12. Thre go my plans on Another Anti-Terror List Impacting Businesses, Customers · · Score: 1

    Moreover, there is no minimum amount of money attached to penalties for selling to someone on the list: selling a sandwich to a 'specially designated national' can have a fine for up to '$10 million and 10 to 30 years in prison.' Shoot, and I had this great idea to set up a chain of fast-food falafel and shwarma shops in the Afghani Highlands. Meh, I probably would have gotten sued anyway, I was going to call it "Kabul Falafel City".

  13. Getting in the Biz on Ask Futurama Star Billy West About...? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've always been good at doing goofy voices and what not. I was a real hit with my younger cousins and kids I babysat, and it has always been a secret dream of mine to get my name in the "With the voices of" section of a cartoon, if only once. How does one break into voiceacting? Do you have any advice for an aspiring voice actor?

  14. Re:Shame, and Shaming the Shamer on How Not to Steal a Sidekick · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ah, but you forgot the Supreme Court prescident set in Finders v. Keepers.

  15. Candy Buttons on NSA Chose Invasive Phone Analysis Option · · Score: 1

    What, is the decryption machine made by Apple?

  16. Be a REAL man! on Replacing the Housing on Your Flash Drive? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Just wrap it in duct tape.

  17. Proove? on Dealing with Corporate FUD About Linux? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just how does one proove oneself?

  18. Quite simple, really on Bug Tracking Across Multiple Code Streams? · · Score: 1, Funny

    I merely make sure there are no bugs in my code to begin with. :P

  19. Re:Screw new technology... on Tech Geezers vs. Young Bloods · · Score: 1

    Tell me again why residential toilets can't go "WHOOOSH!!!!!" like commercial toilets? Because commercial (air pressurised) toilets are FSCKING LOUD, and noone wants to have that shit (pun intended) go off at 3am in their attached master bathroom. But if you WANT to get woken up at 3am by your SO, or you just want one in the downstairs bathroom, kits are available.

  20. Light goes in but doesn't come out? on Solar-powered Handbag · · Score: 1

    Ah, so you would like a blackbody handbag?

  21. Re:a case of mistaken identity? on Google Hires Vint Cerf · · Score: 1

    No, Al Gore is already at Apple. And as you know, both Apple and Google are cool, Not Evil (TM) companies, so they don't want to bump heads.

  22. 3 Engineers discuss God on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 4, Funny

    A mechanical, electrical, and civil engineer are discussing God.

    The MechE says, "God must be a mechanical engineer! Look at the bones and muscles of the human body! It is a marvelous machine!"

    The EE says, "No! God is an electrical engineer. Look at the nervous system. It is a miraculous electrical computing system!."

    The CivE says, "You are both wrong. God is a civil engineer. Who else would put a waste facility next to an entertainment complex?"

  23. Re:We love you Matt! on BLAST High Altitude Telescope Launched · · Score: 1

    Matt, I didn't write this. Really

    Love, Mo. ;)

  24. Exactly what you want on Turning a PC into a Firewire-Based SAN? · · Score: 4, Informative
    I found this a while ago at http://www.linux1394.org/:
