  1. Evernote on Ask Slashdot: How To Go Paperless At Home? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Try using Evernote and scan as you go, keeping up on all current items. Do extra ones when you have the time.

  2. Vitamin D3 on Flu + La Nina = Pandemic? · · Score: 1

    My theory is that, during the winter, we have far less sun exposure, due to shorter days, and people staying indoors to avoid the cold.

    This causes a huge drop in natural Vitamin D3 levels. So I supplement with Vitamin D3, especially during the winter.

    Now, I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but I never catch colds or the flu since doing this.

    I also NEVER get the flu shots. I was exposed directly to the H1N1 swine flu for 3 weeks, and never came down with it.

  3. Re:GO GOOGLE! on Google Throws /. Under Bus To Snag Patent · · Score: 1

    How about a ban on all accounts involved in modding down old comments en masse from posting, moderating, or meta moderating, and a temporary ban on the IP address used from logging in or signing up new accounts.

    Would be pointless to do a permanent IP address ban since IP addresses can and do change.

  4. Delay in online police scanners... on Police Encrypt Radios To Tune Out Public · · Score: 1

    I thought that there was a delay in the online scanners... That would make it difficult to use to avoid getting caught for a crime...

  5. Dihydrogen Monoxide on 88-Year-Old Inventor Hassled By the DEA · · Score: 1

    Isn't dihydrogen monoxide used in methamphetamine manufacture...?

    Shouldn't we ban that...?

  6. Thanks to the war on drugs... on 88-Year-Old Inventor Hassled By the DEA · · Score: 1

    Thanks to the war on drugs, it is now easier to get meth amphetamine than it is to get cold pills.

    Meth dealers don't check I.D. or log who purchased, like they now do with cold pills.

    If you're someone like me, who has a certified birth certificate, social security card, and an out of state expired I.D., and that's still not enough to get current I.D. with the new regulations.

  7. Re:Space ninjas on Human Survival Depends On Space Exploration, Says Hawking · · Score: 1

    Now why would the aliens want/need to wipe us out, for our resources...? Aren't there plenty of uninhabited planets with plenty of resources all across the Universe...? Probably easier for them to get to..>?

    My vote is for him NOT to be the first intergalactic diplomat.

  8. Re:I stopped reading the responses after... on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 1

    THC doesn't store in the fat cells, THC-COOH does, an inactive metabolite...

  9. Re:Misquotes on the white house site, read the num on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 1

    If a patient mentions that they smoke pot, or they find THC metabolites in their system, even if they are "prescribed" (technically "recommended" since it's Schedule I), then it makes it into the statistic claiming that pot was a cause or contributing factor... They are LYING to us, big surprise...

  10. Re:I stopped reading the responses after... on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 2

    Delta-9 THC is metabolized into Delta-11 THC, which is then metabolized into THC-COOH, which is an inactive metabolite... So that theory of it not causing withdrawals because it stays in so long is incorrect...

    After a max of 8 hours, the effects have worn off.. (usually more like 1-4 hours..)..
    The claim that cannabis keeps you high for 30 days is completely incorrect...

  11. Re:I stopped reading the responses after... on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 1

    Marijuana isn't allow for cancer patients federally, but they have no problems giving them oxycontin!

  12. Patenting Cannabis on Anonymous Takes On a Mexican Drug Cartel · · Score: 1

    The reason cannabis can't be patented, is because the US Government already OWNS the patent!

    6630507 is the patent number!

  13. Workrave on Ask Slashdot: Ergonomic Office Environment? · · Score: 1

    Try workrave, it reminds you to take breaks and stretch...
    Also it can set daily limits of computer activity...

    And you can also network it if you use multiple computers at the same time..

  14. Re:oven on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Thermite..?

  15. Medical Marijuana on @Whitehouse Hosting Twitter Town Hall On Wednesday · · Score: 1

    What I'd like to know, is why he keeps dodging the question of medical marijuana when it's THE most requested question...

  16. They'll claim the hard drive crashed.. on The Patriot Act and the EU Cloud · · Score: 1

    They'll just claim the hard drive crashed... sorry it was unrecoverable, you're going to have to reinstall everything...

  17. Re:House, MD. on LSD Alleviates 'Suicide Headaches' · · Score: 1

    Good luck finding LSD in this day and age, Pickard / Apperson went down... you may find "acid" but it's probably not LSD...

  18. Sounds like Best Buy.. on Ask Slashdot: Linux Support In Universities? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Best Buy.. we asked them if a card supported Linux (the box said it did ;) ) and they told us that no hardware supported Linux and nobody in their right mind would use it and we should just stick with Windows since the rest of the world uses it... =)

  19. RIAA is stealing from independent artists... on Canadian Music Industry Seeks Copy Tax On Memory Cards · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The RIAA is STEALING from independent artists, with this fair use tax. If a non-signed band uses CD-R's to record their music onto, they are paying a fair use tax.

    The same people who claim we are stealing from bands by downloading music, are getting paid by bands who didn't sign any agreement with the RIAA or any record labels. Now WHO is stealing from bands...?

    What's next, bailouts for record labels...?

  20. Re:Values on Meth Dealer Faces Loss of His Comic Book Collection · · Score: 1

    Aren't most tweakers SKINNY and NOT Obese??

  21. Re:Whatever went on... on Skype Slowly Restores Service To Users · · Score: 1

    When I tried the Linux version, I wasn't able to see group chat names... Something we use heavily at several organizations I work with...

  22. Google and Prop 19 on Predicting Election Results With Google · · Score: 1

    Yes Google, but is Prop 19 going to pass??

  23. TSA and abuse of power on TSA To Make Pat-Downs More Embarrassing To Encourage Scanner Use · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I had a member of the T.S.A. (Steve at the Port of Seattle) posting death threats to me on my message boards on my website.. So anything this organization does, no longer surprises me.

    We actually traced the I.P. back to the Port of Seattle!
    Unfortunately, one of our moderators thought he was doing the right thing by deleting it when we should have preserved those messages as evidence.

  24. Re:Rich on Ozzy Osbourne's Genome Reveals Some Neanderthal Lineage · · Score: 1

    When you mix cocaine and alcohol, it forms a third drug in your bloodstream, cocaethylene, which builds up in the liver.

  25. Re:Anybody remember if... on For Firefox 4, You'll Need To Wait Until 2011 · · Score: 1

    My Firefox crashes once it gets about 1700 Megs or so... Not sure why that's the magic number but it crashes EVERY time the memory usage climbs above that!
