  1. I put in an Infrared LED on "Red is Dead" Optical Mice LED Change · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I got an iopty jr from macally. The mouse has a mostly clear body and of course, in the store it wasn't actually hooked up. I found the bright ass red LED to be annoying. So I purchased an infrared LED to quelch it. Works wonderfully.

  2. Sheriffs are elected on NSA Director, Congress and Monitoring · · Score: 1

    County sheriffs are elected by the people. I don't know how their jurisdiction applies to cities though.

  3. Re:Sticks and Stones the Weapons of Choice on Cringley Asking for 12 Month Predictions · · Score: 1

    Well, I think it is safe to say that M-16's, AK-47's and their respective ammo will survive any WMD short of direct nuclear strike. Same goes for all those other millions of firearms. They will be waiting for humans (mutants?) to find them and the cycle begins anew...

  4. Re:Biodiesel and California air on Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Recommendations? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Diesels do have greater NOx emissions/unit fuel burned. However, Diesel are lean burn engines (hince the greater NOx) and are more fuel effecient. I would not say that they have "vastly" higher particulate emissions, gasoline engines have particulate emissions, but their soot is finer, and not visible (to the naked eye).

    Modern Diesel cars do have catalytic converters, and other emission controls which enable them to have better emissions than gasoline fueled cars. If fueled with biodiesel, they have even better emissions.
