  1. non-blended pen on Interviews: Ask Blendtec Founder Tom Dickson What Won't Blend? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Are you going to go for a rematch with the Tuff-Writer pen?

  2. numbers of missile's on Missile Defense's Real Enemy: Math · · Score: 1

    The HEL (high energy laser) coming. And a shipboard system should be operational by 2016 according to the USN.

  3. Old hat. on The Power of a Hot Body · · Score: 2

    The Mall of America does a version of this.

  4. Re:No harm done on Drawings of Weapons Led To New Jersey Student's Arrest · · Score: 5, Informative

    Have they checked the schools MSDS sheets for chemicals that if spilled or combined with others could be hazardous. Let's see if they have any chlorine and ammonia on hand, or maybe some sodium hydroxide in the bathroom cleaning closet. If they do, they better call the police to haul the school staff off.

  5. A few years ago I was doing some work in the Everglades National Park and during a pre-work briefing the Chief of Resource Management (person in charge of protecting everything) basically told us "if you see one of those snakes on the road, run it over and then back up over it to make sure".

  6. tools on Ask Slashdot: Server Room Toolbox? · · Score: 1

    A good shop vacuum. One thing that might come in handy with this is a exhaust port that you can hook a hose that is the same size as the suction hose. That way you can run this exhaust hose out of the room, because even the best bags and filters do not get everything.

  7. Re:iSnored? on Steve Jobs' Yacht Revealed · · Score: 2

    To me it looks like a yacht designed to stay in a harbor and entertain guests with a occasional flat water cruise. If it looked something like a Ulstein X-bow then we would know that it is a serious bad weather vessel.

  8. Re:Cisco what? on Cisco Pricing Undercut By $100M In Big Cal State University Network Project · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sometimes a company will place a extremely high bed because they really do not want the contract. But they have to bid to stay on the list for future proposals. And if they do get the bid all they have to do is sub it out to a lower bidder and keep the carry.

  9. plane on Panetta Labels Climate Change a National Security Threat · · Score: 2

    Was this said on one of his weekly trips from D.C. back to California in a VC plane?

    Not very thinly disguised at all.

  15. Usage on Is Agriculture Sucking Fresh Water Dry? · · Score: 1

    My comment is not so much about agriculture usage but about what happens when we "use" water. Is that the water goes down the drain and into the sewage system. From there it is treated and released to be used again and again. Look at almost any city on a river, they draw the water out of the river, use it for everything treat it and back it goes into the river. So if you live down stream of a water user, more than likely you are drinking some water that has been run through a sewage treatment plant. Unless the user is on the coast where when done with the sewage treatment it is dumped into the ocean. If more of the larger cities that are on a coast pumped the treated water inland???

  16. Almost a question on How a Gesture Could Get Your Google+ Profile Picture Yanked · · Score: 1

    What about a woman showing her face or any other part of her body not covered by a burka?

  17. Re:Sell Google Services, as well . . . on Google Opens First Retail Outlet In London · · Score: 1

    If this was something like a Genius Bar and had the Workshops. Or just the ability to go to a Goggle employee and have the ability to ask a question in person. Now that would be something that I might even pay for.

  18. pictures on NRO Declassifies KH-9 Satellite · · Score: 1

    It would be a better display if the pictures that it took were there to see. Wonder what the real resolution of the cameras was/is.

  19. question on Hackers Expose 26,000 Sex Website Passwords · · Score: 1

    How many signups were done by someone else "ordering a pizza" for a little revenge.

  20. almost a question on 100-Sq.-Mile Ice Island Breaks Off Greenland Glacier · · Score: 2, Insightful

    According to the article this is the largest iceberg since 1962, early 60's global warming?

    Corporations do not pay taxes. The customers of the corporations pay the tax.

  22. Re:Wi-Ex Signal Repeater on How Do You Extend Your Wireless Connection? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I use the Wi-Ex with a external Yagi antenna hooked up and it is pointed at the nearest tower which is 40 some miles away. I do have line of sight. It works. Used to have to stand on a table on the deck and hold the phone up. Now I can sit in the house and talk. I do not use it for data, never even checked if I could.

  23. Re:Water Filters? Hello? on Fertilizer Dump Spoils Intel's Pure Water · · Score: 1

    There is something just not right with this story. If the water became contaminated from the deicer put on the roads, the salt normally used should have done the same to the plants water. Not to mention run off from the fields that would have been fertilized. When a company is using (pure) water for use, they should be able to produce or have delivered enough. Making pure water is not the same as producing potable water. It is a much more exacting process. Again, we need more and better information from the writer of the article.

  24. Re:Great where can I buy this on Next-Gen Glitter-Sized Photovoltaic Cells Unveiled · · Score: 1

    To me the real break through will be in the storage of the electricity/power produced. Be batteries, capacitors or whatever. And for the real hard part "at reasonable price". To me this means it has to cost less than what I pay to the electric company.

  25. big blocks on The Last GM Big-Block V-8 Rolls Off the Line · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Plenty of other big blocks being made, no real reason to want a 50 year old design of a cast iron lump. Lots of new ones being built and machined, mostly aluminum.
