  1. Re:Pot solves everything on Possible Graphene Alternative Made From Hemp Waste · · Score: 2, Funny

    You laugh, but marijuana in larger doses is said to induce "paranoia" and "hallucinations". However, these are just the codewords the government use to hide the fact that your pineal gland is being stimulated and re-activated. Anyone that has seen the documentary From Beyond, can imagine what will happen if this drug reached a critical mass of use and lowered The Veil that that separates THEM from us.

    Have both hands free while recording sexcapades and such?

    There's a Ski goggle HUD by Recon (and used by most of the ski goggle mfgs) that came to general retail last year. It connects to it's own wristworn ruggedized android computer and also can mirror your smartphone's screen. It's main purpose is as a GPS Ski map, phonecall headset. buddy locator, and performance recording (altitude, speed).

    Their frontpage is showing a similar setup on a set of sunglasses (these with a built in camera) that would be cool for motorcycling, mountainbiking, etc...

    Pretty much everything you can do with a free app or 2 on any smartphone already, but you'll have a very difficult time reading the screen of a smartphone on the slopes or while riding a bike.

    It isn't a pair of "googleglasses" but it is an android based hud system that illustrates how such a system could be more usefull than a standalone smartphone.

    Well anyone could just Google it. So any assburger level Slashdot user should be expected to. CM is not remotely obscure. If you Google the initials CM it is the third result... right after centimeter and a Wikipedia disambiguation page.

    Of course just actually Googling Cyanogenmod, only produces relevant results.

    I first head it at a Dragoncon in a galaxy (Georgia, USA) far away and a time (over 20 years ago) far far away. A New Hope was playing the main hall that night and the later dance ball with half the strippers in Atlanta was pretty epic.

    Mind you those replacements use a nitro base. So you're still screwed IF this is going to happen. But it is better for your gun.

    Why are you using black powder? It's messy and corrosive in your 150 year old gun. Use pyrodex or a modern gun that never used black powder instead and they'll only pull you aside if their chem sniffer can detect nitrates. Oh Wait...

  16. Re:I use sulfur as a fungicid on New Device Sniffs Out Black Powder Explosives · · Score: 1

    Maybe. But the detectors already work against the stuff in "bullets" (because black powder isn't actually used in ammo) and fertilizer. So you're already screwed.

  18. Black Powder? on New Device Sniffs Out Black Powder Explosives · · Score: 4, Informative

    Just a side note because it's making me nerdrage :) TFA asserts "Used in fireworks and bullets, the explosive substance is both deadly and widely available." Assuming that they are actually talking about "black powder" I think this was an included invention by the writer.

    Manufactured ammunition (with a very few niche and very expensive exceptions) hasn't used "black powder" for its loads for over 100 years. Modern ammo uses "smokeless" powders with a variety of chemical compositions based around nitroglycerin and 1or 2 other nitro based chemicals. These should be easily detectable with existing sniffers that are looking for nitrates. So if a day on the range was going to get me hauled in at the TSA line, well were already past that.

    Pyrodex and other Black Powder substitutes are more commonly used by muzzleloader hunters and Pyrodex is "smokeless powder" based and formulated for the lower power of black powder explosions. I should also be easily detectable.

    Garden variety "buy it a supermarket go-bang fireworks" use perchlorate based fuel as far as I know. I don't know how detectable it is or how chemically similar it is to black powder off the top of my head. But I'd guess it's not and would prefer it to be detectable.

    On the other hand I CAN buy black powder by the 16oz can with cash. I think it would be good thing if the chemsniffers could detect it.

    FWIW, Its creator is quoted as saying it's a Pop Tart in its Wikipedia article. Part of having a Trademark is the responsibility of defending it against unauthorized use. If you don't defend it you lose it. So, Kelloggs will probably sue him at some point and he will then say it's not a Pop Tart.
