One strange thing I've noticed when teaching and attending Emergency Medical Services (read 'ambulance service') classes is that there are a higher number of lefties then the general population.
At the station in my town 4 out of the 9 EMS workers are left handed.
But what good would a little red light do? Are you going to be taking pictures of 'secret documents' while a bunch of people stand around you? Or are you going to do it in 'secret' somewhere?
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Absorb the cost? BWAHAHAHA!
Riiight.
I think it's more likely they will jack the price up and start billing insurance companies more for each med.
...oh--and for those of us with out insurance--it'll only be another $50 per perscription...
It RAID really that expensive? I got a raid card for my home box for $125 at newegg.com. Granted--you still have to pay a couple hundred for the drives--but it's not so expensive that it can only be installed on "ultra-huge" systems...
When I worked at an internet provider, we actually had a script which would make a copy of any MPG, MPEG, AVI, etc... file attatchments and toss them in a directory for us to watch.
Most of the humorous video clips I have on my computer came from this script...
It's usually not even based on having a VALID credit card number.
A few years back, Yahoo wanted to verify that accounts were 18+ and so they asked for a credit card number. I can't remember if this is the exact number, but I put in 4222-2222-2222-2222 and it went through because mathematically that is a valid number.
I also don't remember the mathematical method for determining a valid number anymore--but I'm sure someone else here may post it...
Someone should do some something similar to open source with the invite codes. Give your six invites out--but under a license where the receivers have to give out their six new codes when they join.
In the end, everyone will be on gmail and a ton of invite codes will be floating around.
Maybe I didn't entirely understand the article, but I work for a county ambulance service. We couldn't afford to spend tons of money to purchase the four or five radio frequencies we currently use.
The local fire departments are all volunteer. The one in my town has a yearly budget of just over $15,000. They couldn't afford to bid against companies like AT&T for a slice of radio spectrum...
I work for a county ambulance service. We carry a decide called a "LifePack 12" that we use to monitor patients hearts, check blood pressures, check oxygen saturation levels in the blood, and even shock patients.
You can bet your sweet ass that it's not running Windows XP Home.
Then you misunderstand them. It paralyzes you. Your muscles cramp up and you can't move. It's not that the pain is so bad, it's that the signals coming from your brain telling your muscles to move are being drowned out by the signals coming from the tazer.
Tazers work.. even on people pumped up on PCP.
It's not that the pain is so bad?!?
What were you tazed by? A Playschool "My First Tazer"?
Not only does it screw up communication in your nervous system--it hurts like hell too!
Of course I bitch to high heaven that I won't buy it when it eventually comes out because they keep delaying it, but we all know I'd sell a kidney to get a copy...

Sorry--I was talking about SATA RAID. Yeah--SCSI's a bit more expensive. ;)

Right here.
Oh f*ck. You had to go and say it.
You know some geek is madly coding away in his bedroom right now...
So when your site gets slashdotted, how does it show up? A giant lizard attacking your city?

This should be too hard to defeat. Just get yourself an infared light and 'blind' the ushers. Maybe build or buy an infared flash.
Hmm...movies could be a lot more fun this way...
Great. I'm about two hours late seeing this post. By now geeks everywhere have ordered every last bag of Herrods Earl Grey #42.

It's powered by Java.
The old bait and switch. Who would have guessed I could fall for that trick seven times. ;)
What a great plot twist.
Ug.
Could you imagine the horror?
MS Hearts: The Movie
Wow.
You just admitted you're a chick to the Slashdot crowd.
I'm betting your 'fans' list just grew by several hundred thousand entries.
ROTFL!
If I only had mod points! That's hilarious!
If someone is in your house stealing your stuff at some dark hour of the night, how do you know your life isn't in danger?
I volunteer to stun you and I live in Washington!
I really doubt you could 'power on through' the stun effect. But if that fails, Succinylcholine always works. Always.

They are very effective.
Wow--this list gets me kinda excited.
...and the first time #4 hasn't been "profit!!!!".
It's the first time I've ever seen a list go beyond #4 on slashdot.
That's what Bungie is doing with Halo 2.

Smoking pot? I thought it was road head...
