I don't think I'd shell out 50 bucks for this. They proclaim quite prominently that its results can't be counted upon:

If it's not reliable then you might as well go with your own perceptions about your level of intoxication. If in doubt, call a cab.
Of course then they close with
If you suspect that you or a loved one has had too much to drink, the BT3500 can help you. Never drive under the influence again!
It sounds like they're trying to have the best of both worlds.
for a cool US$80 million, you too can overtake the Concorde on a dash to Harrods for dinner
Er, for that kind of money you might as well pick up a used F-14 Tomcat. It may not have a cushy interior and cleverly-shaped bourbon dispensers, but show me another corporate transport that mounts Phoenix missiles. You'll be envied (and feared) by all your rivals chugging around in those wimpy Learjets.

Aha, so that's how he got to be such a Quake master.
Needless to say there are at least 50000 bullies (ie, industry lobiests) in washington alone, so killing is out. Any great ideas on how to collectively shock them? The sheer logistics are mind bogling, but it would be fun to try 8)
Get them to hotsync their Palm Pilots all at once.
Belgium is home to several hundred styles of beer. Many use wild yeasts and have very unique tastes. Good descriptions can be found on the website of Michael Jackson (the British one).
Food Network recently had a Beer Unwrapped special which showcased Belgian beers and dishes cooked with them. It was pretty good...for something hosted by Gordon Elliott.
Chimay and Orval are two brands which can be found in most parts of the US. Corsendonk is one of my favorites, but it's harder to find.
My company has been a victim of spam. The "From" address was forged so the mail appeared to come from us. Finding who is actually behind "Cybernet Enterprise"is a hard thing and the telephone number only gives a cryptic ansvering machine
Read the Received: line in the header of the emails. It will tell you what IP they originated from. Look this up and complain to the appropriate ISP.
There are a number of good antispam how-to's on the web.
For all we know the machine had a 802.11b wireless card and was receiving multiple transmissions of the datastream. (Assuming any level of auditing was actualy done to verify that any data was over the 28.8 connection.)
Perhaps a GPS beacon as well.

Delorme will also be offering Middle Earth Atlas 1.0 for Windows which will enable you to navigate through middle earth easily and accurately.

You're probably confusing it by playing Angband on the machine at the same time.
Face it, most people can't articulate themselves very well and prefer to use boilerplate letters. It doesn't make their opinions any less valid.
Apparently not all of them agreed with the sentiments in the letters. They did go ahead and send them anyway though...
Some of the recipients wrote back by hand, apologizing for passing along the Microsoft-inspired letters. "I sure was misled," one wrote. "It's time for you to get out there & kick butt."
They are essentially misrepresenting the opinions of existing (or recently deceased) citizens. As such, it should be a crime. Or how would you like if some random organization sent around letters in your (or your late grand-father's) name?
Well, Microsoft didn't send them directly. The people's relatives signed off on them...though not in a particularly clever way.
From the Seattle Times article: If people express support for Microsoft, they are sent letters to sign, along with handstamped, pre-addressed envelopes to their state attorney general, to President Bush, and to their members of Congress.
and Utah officials found two of the pre-fab letters bore the typed names of dead people. Those names had been crossed out by family members who signed for them.
Whether or not what we experienced was an according-to-Hoyle miracle is irrelevant. What is relevant is that I felt the touch of God. God got involved.
I really liked his ideas about Texas Hold'em, Canasta and Honeymoon Bridge. My granddad used to say "do it according to Hoyle's or don't do it" and I understand now he was referring to the physics of the universe! Wow!
Yeah, "big bang" was actually his nickname for having pocket rockets sucked out by a gutshot straight on the river.
You've GOT to be persistant to get service going in your area. I called every few weeks to the phone company and cable company for a year. Have your friends call, use payphones, etc. These companies are in business just like any other. If there is no "demand" for the service they will put it somewhere that they THINK there is demand.
Operator: How can I help you?
You: Hi, I'd like to know if DSL is available in my area.
Operator: One moment, we'll test your phone line.
You: I'm really anxious to get some high-speed access. I'd definitely be willing to spend the extra money. My 56k modem isn't meeting my needs.
Operator: According to this, you're on a pay phone. Just where have you been plugging your modem in?
Given the apparent level of technical expertise of these idiots, and their repugnant behaviour, I suspect that they may soon become the "victim" of community (vigilante) justice.
Any sort of reprisal against this site will only serve to justify further crackdowns. For all we know the feds are logging each slashdotter's visit to www.pdns.com as part of a DDoS attack.

I don't think you can filibuster outside of Congress. Still, it would be amusing to have Bill Gates ranting and trying to stay awake like Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

It's going to be disturbing when kids start getting nine-fingered Frodo action figures in their happy meals...
Hey, that's better than finding the tenth finger in your burger.
You'll have to look elsewhere for that.
I think chess could be a major challenge for some, but I'd suggest you look for a less violent version of it.
Nerf chess?

Actually, a F-14 would be really cool for one really important reason: you can eject when nesessary.
Yep, those high-paid executives do like to bail out when the going gets tough.

I remember a VERY similar story on /. a few months back. I would post a link, but the /. search tool is down again. (no shock to me)
You mean this one?
This sounds like the first step toward developing arcologies.
I just hope they build the Launch ones and not Darcos *shudder*.

Generally a whistle-blower reveals information that the company he works for is deliberately keeping secret.
This is just a guy who reported someone else's bug to them. He didn't even go to the media with it.
Sell parts of Hubble on eBay. I bet they could recover a substantial amount of the cost. Ok, maybe 10%.
I dunno, the Russians couldn't hock their shuttle.
Maybe NASA will crash the Hubble and sell exclusive publicity rights to Taco Bell.
