  1. Use a cutting board... on Lap Desks · · Score: 1

    I spend 3.5 hours a day working on a train (I commute from Philly to NYC). The best solution overall after many different attempted solutions is a half inch thick plastic cutting board, available at your neighborhood grocery or kitchen supply store. Odds are good you can find one the exact size of your laptop. Nice and grippy for your rubber laptop feet, plenty of room for fans to operate, insulating enough to protect the jewels. If you leave that at home, I find a SkyMall/TrainMall open to the middle page laid over the lap is passable in a pinch.

  2. My Network on Roll Your Own Television Network Using Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    I have this already. I have a list of RSS feeds in my BitTorrent client with regular expressions, and everyday when I get home, all the shows I want to watch that have aired are waiting for me. If someone offered better reliability, and per-show pricing, I'd pay in a heartbeat.

  3. Other Russian claims... on Russia Plans Martian Nuclear Station · · Score: 1

    In a related story, the Russians also annouced they would exceed the speed of light, complete the Grand Unified Theory of physics, and find the last digit of Pi.

  4. Just in time... on Mastering Light · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thank god... now just before Zephran Cochran launches, we'll have the frequency shifting lasers we need to stop the Borg without any help.

  5. Re:Woohoo! on Contractor Proposes Laser Rifles for US Military · · Score: 1

    This occured in the real world... NATO uses red tracers, and the Soviet Bloc uses green. So all the contractors destroyed were actually commies. Random site with info
