  1. Bathroom Wallpaper on The Goggles, They Do Nothing · · Score: 5, Funny

    I had seen this before and was looking for a custom wallpaper manufacturer to have the Rotating Snakes illusion made into wallpaper for my bathroom. Just for the entertainment of having my friends to to go to the bathroom after a long night of drinking...hilarity ensues.

  2. Just installed mine this week.... on Xbox Modchip Featuring Onboard Operating System · · Score: 2, Informative

    I spent $60 to get teh chip after my friend installed one of their solder chips. His newer xbox won't accept the solderless chip as the d0 wire is under the mobo.

    The box came apart easily and the chip went in easily enough, though it did not boot the first time. After nudging teh chip back and forth a few times, i got it to boot to the xenium screen (almost instant startup). The FTP client was already running and had acquired an ip from my router. I was able to ftp the evolutionx front end over an voila! it works. Less than an hour.

    I went back to play a game later to find the ms front end come up with an error. I realized that the chip had become unseated. I had to take it completely apart and nudge it again. After that it worked. Once it stopped working again, i cut a hole in the side of my xbox to allow my finger in the side to press it down. I've only had to do that once or twice so far. Actually well worth it.

  3. Re:Cel phone features on Vehicles of Tomorrow? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That isn't that bad...
    This summer i travelled on a stretch of road in NJ that crosses the state exactly at the mid point, from Trenton to Belmar. Route 195.

    Without fail, on every trip I made I saw at least one person reading while driving. Either reports, newspapers, or even books. It is a very straight, uninteresting stretch of highway, but reading. Not just glancing down for a second to check something, but full on, enveloped reading.

  6. My first trip... on Lysergically Yours · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My first week at college in undergrad. All decked out in my preppy kahkis and docksiders, trying to fit in, some of the other frosh invited me to a Grateful Dead concert in Boston MA (Fall 1993).

    When I got there I was overwhelmed with sensory overload and I had not taken anything yet. My previous experience up to that point had been some high school binge drinking (think Mad Dog 20/20) and smoking pot a few times.

    One of my new friends scored some paper and he offered to me what looked like a corner of some construction paper, no bigger than what a hole punch would spit out. I didn't think anything like that could do much so I ate it.

    An hour later I'm running around like a mad man, still decked out in a polo shirt and kahkis. It was an awesome experience and from that moment on I felt everyone should do acid at least once in their lives.

    I haven't done it in a few years, but I hope to change that. A lot of stuff builds up in your brain, locked away that needs to be cleansed every once in a while. You may have to fight some deamons along teh way, but once its over, the next day the world is a beautiful new place.
    Happy travels!

  10. Re:Just like RIAA vs. File traders on Electric Armor Tested For Light Armored Vehicles · · Score: 1

    Biological systems are a little different than one driven by human behavior.
    Though, virii often evolve to become resistant to current treatments, so the logic still applies. Cancer does not "evolve" as it is a pre-encoded abnormality/mutation that exists in RNA/DNA.

  11. Just like RIAA vs. File traders on Electric Armor Tested For Light Armored Vehicles · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This sounds familiar, they come up with something to get us, then we come up with something to stop them...

    Napster - centralized server (shut down)
    Kazaa - Decentralized server (lawsuits pending)
    Encrypted p2p networks (riaa = screwed)

    Bazooka - (heavy plating neutralized)
    RPG - (liquid copper spewing heads!)
    Electric Field - (emp? = screwed)

    Once you come up with a fix, you force the technology to evolve to its next form faster tahn it would have on its own.

    Just MHO.

  12. Ear Buds on Apple Rolls Out AirPort Express, AirTunes · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why people pay $600 for an iPod (499+extended warranty+tax) then use teh $10 ear buds that come with it. A simple $50 upgrade to even a half decent pair of headphones makes a world of difference. Plus, the ear buds are how the muggers here in NYC know you have an iPod.

  13. Space Travel on Bill Joy On His Own Future, And The World's · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's one of the arguments put forth against any ETs visiting us, any race of creatures technologically advanced enough to produce faster than light travel would have already blown themselves to peices with weapons (assuming a human-like nature).

  14. Twinkies! on Internet Grocery Shopping Slowly Gaining Ground · · Score: 1

    The justification I always give for using FreshDirect is that I can go online and buy 5 boxes of Twinkies without the accusing glares I would get in the grocery store when I dump a shelf-full into my shopping cart.

  20. Wallet Set it Off on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 1

    It is well known that wallets themselves set these things off. I was once a victim of this. I don't keep cash in my wallet (dad told me keep it in front pocket), and I began setting off a store alarm. The wallet set it off, once removed, it did not set it off.

    Umm, yeah, stuff burns when you put it in the microwave. I always use the microwave to dry my money after going in the ocean, when left on too long it catches fire. Gee wiz, really?

    I was once a victim of the goatse link. It was only on the screen for a split second before I ripped the plug of my computer out of the wall. I don't know what I saw, I just knew that it was very bad.

    Can someone tell me (without being too descriptive) what is actually seen at goatse?

  23. Hacking? on Hackers Track Down Banking Fraud · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wouldn't call what they were doing exactly "hacking". They simply ran some lookups and other simple discovery tools a person would use as preperation for an attempted hack. They never performed any exploits though, like actually trying to access the web server in russia to see what information they actually had...
