  1. Re:So is an iron... on Laptops May Be Hazardous to Your Fertility · · Score: 1

    No, but I don't typically wear clothes that need to be ironed, and the ones that do are usually good with ten minutes or so in the dryer, so I can toss them in when I take a shower.

    Because you can buy pocketPCs for that price that have a much larger touchscreen.

    They won't have wifi, but the models that do aren't too much up in cost.

    STDs aren't an issue in a monagamous relationship, and although they (vasectomies) aren't permenenant, the chances on it working are still MUCH better odds then I'd normally get.

    Hehe. I wouldn't say it's just as dangerous, but a point well taken either way.

    I meant the two to four hundred. At roughly a dollar a peice (when you buy them in three packs), that's really not that much, especially when you have a sex partner with a higher sex drive than yourself.

  6. Re:MYTH ALERT !!! on Laptops May Be Hazardous to Your Fertility · · Score: 1

    Hmm, thanks. I was honestly thinking it was more in the 2-4 thousand range, so 2-4 hundred is a much better deal. I'd probably have spent that much on condoms in my life if they weren't free (when you know where to go).

    Any ideas on how much they'd cost outside of insurance? I don't have insurance, but have been considering the procedure, although there isn't much (if any) information on pricing around the internet.

    Five pounds is practically nothing. When I had my iBook, I could barely feel the difference in weight in my backpack, much less on my lap.

    So you're the one that irons with their clothes still on their body. Now the warning labels makes sense.

    No, median is the middle number of a set.

    For example, the set

    1,1,1,1,5,6,6,6,6

    would have a median of 5, and an mean (average) of 3.6

    The trouble is, though, that medicine seems to have become a species-wide evolutionary trait that overcomes other negative traits.

  14. Re:Liquifying CO2? on Robert Zubrin's Mars Gashopper Airplane · · Score: 1

    It's sublimates, but you can force it to liquefy under pressure. This was actually a point of contention between a friend of mine and his highschool chemistry teacher. They made a bet. He won, then the container exploded and cracked the fume hood. Thankfully, it was due to be replaced in a few weeks anyways.

    Yeah, but the ohno second only comes right as you hit the "Commit" button. It's a real feeling of dread, like "Why the fuck did I do that?"

    For the same reason someone installs Linux on a cash register. Because it's there.

    Have any not taken in full light? My Sanyo SCP 5300 took decent enough pictures in full light, but indoors, you didn't stand a chance.

    I think the idea behind iTunes not being able to play other files is to avoid support calls to the gist of "But it works fine in iTunes, why doesn't it work on my iPod?"

    That rule only applies when your audience is unlikely to know the meaning of the acronym in that context. Being that this is slashdot, a technically oriented site, it is more likely that your audience would know the meaning of the acronym in this context than not, thus, the rule does not apply.

    They were afraid of breaking it. This is, after all, a "one of a kind" item, so more gentle methods make sense in this case.

    Actually, the funny thing is, this hasn't been true for years. Intel CPUS put out quite a lot more wattage (~90w) compared to AMD's top end silicon, around 70 watts. But it made for a mildly funny joke back when the t-bird was spanking the socket 423 chips.

    Like I said, it's illegal and crude, but a possible invasion of privacy is worse than an obvious nuisance. Not saying destroying them is the right thing to do, but I can understand people wanting to do it.
