  1. Principality of Sealand on One Year Since Assange Took Refuge in Ecuadorian Embassy · · Score: 1

    We do not want him to swing across the channel to the Principality of Sealand, do we?

  2. Two requisites: Arduino and Servo on Ask Slashdot: How To Begin Simple Robotics As a Hobby? · · Score: 2

    This is how I started: 1) Start by getting an arduino and a servo (requiring 5v). 2) Figure out how how to turn the servo Now I fabricate my own frames and elbows and I professionally deploy them to customers. Someone above is suggested lynxmotion. That is a good option if you are not willing to make your own frames. Good luck.

  3. Re:The original /. Nice! on Goodbye, Lotus 1-2-3 · · Score: 1

    Nice! Although I was a heavy user of Lotus123, before switching to Foxpro, my computer experience started with Wordstar on a 8086 c 256k. Indeed it brings back memories.

  4. Do they have this? on Former FBI Agent: All Digital Communications Stored By US Gov't · · Score: 1

    So what did the Boston bomber say to his wife when he called her? They would be looking at their humongous HDD instead of following the terrorist's wife, or is the HDD corrupt? Well Clemente claims, and we exclaim.

  5. Re:What do you call insulated beverage sleeves? on Condensation On Your Beer != Good · · Score: 1

    Of course I use can sleeves for my Coke Zero - just another drink but unhealthier than beer.

  12. Big eyes versus blondness on Manga Girls Beware: Extra Large Eyes Caused Neanderthal's Demise · · Score: 1

    All along we have been associating dumbness with blonde. Guess what it is the eyes. If you want your genes to be in a better place look for a narrow eyed gal/guy. They do not see well, but somehow know how to attain their goals.

  13. Beat the crap out of the rock on Evidence For Comet-Borne Microfossils Supports Panspermia · · Score: 1

    Wallis and Wikramasinghe are certainly persistent in publishing a paper in every volume of J. Cosmol. on this one polonnaruwa rock. Their last volume pub was discussed here (http://science.slashdot.org/story/13/01/15/2119212/no-life-has-not-been-found-in-a-meteorite). And now this. Seems pretty tough for his peers to counter the claims.

    If teeth is a cosmetic product, then it is going to work in EU - http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/11/business/global/eu-to-ban-cosmetics-with-animal-tested-ingredients.html . But unfortunately, it is not cosmetic except for insurance purposes. So the mice will have to endure this humans digging for tooth.

    Perfectly fine in places where they eat dogs.
