  1. 2000AD - riot foam on Science Fiction into Science Fact? · · Score: 1

    Some years ago now i was reading 2000AD, a british comic, and Judge Dredd was there using riot foam as a non-lethal way to control crowds

    (a good description is here:
    http://www.2000ad.nu/linksproject/index.php3?zon e= thrill&page=dredduni)

    and then, 10 or so years after i'd first read about it, the 'invention' of the exact same thing was all over the news.

    (do a google search using "non-lethal weapons sticky foam")

  3. www.wordtracker.com on Google Reveals Popular Search Patterns · · Score: 3

    above site has a scrolling ticker showing the top 30 *unfiltered* search terms. some entries:

    1 sex
    2 mp3
    3 hotmail
    4 games
    5 cars
    6 yahoo
    7 music
    8 pokemon
    9 warez
    10 britney
    12 porn
    13 ebay
    18 napster
    20 free porn
    24 hotmail.com
    25 porno

    does anybody else find it odd that people search for yahoo? it's like looking up 'dictionary' in a dictionary.

  4. Re:Picture anywhere? on IBM Gets 30 Days Community Service · · Score: 1
    there's a link to a picture at the bottom of this slashback story here. but i just got a 'not found' from the link.

    saw a lot of these painted all over haight ashbury in san francisco whilst there in april. all of them had a line painted through them as if to obscure them, don't know why.
