  3. Brass monkey!!!! on Why Bill Gates Wants 3,000 New Patents · · Score: 1

    What would Thomas Jefferson think if he were around to visit Microsoft's campus, seeing software patents stacked like pyramids of cannonballs?

    That it's cold enough in hell to freeze the balls off a brass monkey?

  4. Re:The Right to Prevent Self-Incrimination on British Police Demand Access To Encryption Keys · · Score: 1

    So what would happen if your password was a sentence admitting guilt? Your password would have to a specifig admission to the contents of the file.

  5. Re:how does this work? on Screen Cleaner Brightens Fading Displays · · Score: 1

    Dear Lord, Allah, Mohammed, and the volcano guy...
    All it's doing is lowering the gamma of your screen over 10 minutes and the raising back to normal all at once.

    The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved. This was an easy one.

    (Damn. Already drunk and feeding the trolls.)

  7. Focus on indiviudal letters. on Improving Terrible Handwriting? · · Score: 1

    Try to think about the individual letters, not the whole word at once.
    Instead of thinking/writing the word HELLO try to think about/write the H, then E, then L, then L, then O.

  9. Re:body odor? on Creatine Found to Boost Brainpower · · Score: 1

    hrrrmmm.....
    I haven't taken creatine for years, but around the same time that I was I would get comments that I smelled _good_. I wasn't wearing anything that had a scent, and it always was a little weird. Maybe this explains it.
    I wonder what the "unpleasant body odour" really is.

  10. ICO 2! I hope so... on The 10 Biggest PS2 Rumors Analyzed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ICO is the greatest game that no one has heard of.
    There is no dialogue that you can understand and the graphics are gorgeous. Within 15 minutes of playing I actually cared what happened to the characters and was upset if I screwed up. Not because I messed up so much as I wanted them to be OK.
    I was up to my 4th notice from Blockbuster and owed them about $180 before I brought the game back.

  12. Cold Water? on Keeping Your Apartment Cool in the Summer Time? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've always wondered how effective running cold water from the tap through a radiator would be. Point a fan at it and let the heat go down the drain!

  13. Re:Hot Wax on Surprising Science Demonstrations? · · Score: 1

    That sounds a lot like pocket rockets we made as kids. Difference is that we'd push a needle up under the foil to make a nozzle.
    The good ones would go up 30 ft.
