    Behold, Gentlemen! The HAPPYMEAL Case! (hey it goes well with the ethernet card)

    I like the warm food bin, but the frost in the cupholder keeps the cups from fitting properly. Making the ketchup holder accept a standard-size disposable cup was a good idea.

  2. Absorb It on Hardware That Literally Doesn't Stink? · · Score: 1
    If your filter device is able to absorb the chemical smell, it probably is using activated carbon/charcoal. You can buy this in drugstores and aquarium stores. Putting it in something like a light nylon bag lets you make your own filters.

    You can get sheet aluminum or vents from a hardware store and direct the air blown out from your computer through your filters.

    There also are add-ons for making computer fans quieter. Some are just ducts with sound-deadening filter or foam material. Consider your modification possibilities.

    "Asking for directions" means having to admit (often to another guy)

  10. Fed Announcement on Federal Reserve To Use Internet For Money Transfer · · Score: 1

    However, the Fed could issue an announcement that they are also going to use the Internet to transfer funds... and not actually do it. Let amateurs waste time chasing phantoms, and make some decoy open ports in various places.

    It's worse than you think. The LANL missing removable media...might not have been. Might not have been missing. Might not have existed. The inventory system is a mess.

  12. So Where Can We Get It? on Librarians to the Rescue · · Score: 2, Insightful
    So where can we see the information?

    Yup, the article mentions high school librarians will get copies. I'm sure high schools will be thrilled to have more visitors to their libraries. We need a date posted, so we can /. libraries.

    Another use would be to cover a shopping mall with these tiles.
    But for the opposite use: Stand on a tile and it carries you to a real world location. Or for Seven League Boots: Tile moves as you step on another moving tile, so your walking speed is increased.

    Unlike doing this on an escalator, you could do it in any horizontal direction. Which would also mean the tile system should be involved in helping everyone avoid collisions.

    You might also not need a shopping cart. Just place a basket on a leash on a tile. Avoiding snap-the-whip motions would be interesting. Might be easier to just have loaded tiles follow an individual, although the tiles would have to know whether they are carrying a person or merely an unstable load.

    We are in an environment where this is an "ages old problem".

    That reminds me of the fellow the other day who referred to a new method being different from "traditional cloning".

    I remember when creating traditional cloning was an ages old problem.

    Radio tends to not be directed, but as a radio signal gets weak very quickly it also has a shorter range.

    There are advantages to both technologies. With radio it is easier to advertise your presence to nearby stars. With lasers it is harder to broadcast, but listening is easier because signals may be detected from many more stars.
