    Looking at the video on the nytimes page, it appeared that the robot was holding no weight with its legs. They were almost swinging loose and being propelled by the tredmil. Also, the damn monkey in the video was animated. I call BS.

  6. Re:Shoes on Tiny, Morphing, Electricity-Stealing Spy Planes Developed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What I heard was that the shoes represented a "gang controlled area". If you were to enter this area, the gang would beat the crap out of you and then hang your shoes on the overhead cables. The more shoes that are hanging, the more bad ass the gang. The shoes are like trophies.

  7. Avoid inkjet at all cost on HP & Staples Collude On $8,000/Gallon Ink? · · Score: 1

    If you need color prints (photos) take your camera's memory card to K-Mart and print what you need there. For black and white (or grayscale) Get a second hand laser printer. I recently purchased a lexmark T550 for $85 (AU). The toner cartridge has a capacity of 20,000 pages and was about 80% full (according to the diagnostic page). When it eventually runs out of toner, I can either refill it, or purchase a replacement.

  8. An open response to Microsoft's request on Microsoft Wants OLPC System to Run Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Dear Microsoft,
            After reviewing your request for an extra GB of available flash to further develop your monopoly to extend to those folks not fortunate enough to already be trapped within your clutches, the OLPC committee have decided to decline your request and issue a response to you stating that the OLPC committee wished that you kindly fuck off and keep you slimy company away from us.

    Kindly, OLPC committee

  13. A question for the chilli eaters on Capsaicin Tested On Surgical Wounds · · Score: 1

    I have an experiment I need someone to try. Could menthol spray be a neutralizing agent for capsicum spray?

    (Capsaicin "activates" heat receptors and menthol that is found in mints "activates" cold receptors)

    The experiment:

    1. Eat some hot peppers.
    2. Wait for the burning sensation
    3. apply menthol (mouthwash / some mints)
    4. note whether the two have a canceling effect.

  15. Good solution on Does Computer Use Actually Cause Carpal Tunnel? · · Score: 1

    1/2 glass Pure pineapple juice + 1 heaped tbl spoon turmeric (spice)

    The pineapple juice helps the body absorb the curcumin in the turmeric which reduces inflammation. Hold your nose while drinking it though as it tastes like bad dirt. It is also good for inflamed joints. YMMV

  22. Isn't usability just... on Instrumented GIMP To Identify Usability Flaws · · Score: 1

    ... a measure of what you are used to using? :set sarcasm

    I've been using the Gimp since around July 1996. As it was my first experience at using graphics software, I found that once shortcuts and mouse clicks were remembered, using it was no problem. The problem occurred when I was forced to use Photoshop for a job I had. I found the layout of the interface clunky and the whole single window think was crap to work with. I just wish the Photoshop developers would get their act together and set the layou more like the Gimp, and then maybe Photoshop could be the next Gimp killer. :set nosarcasm

    Problem is that most of the voting public are morons who will gladly sell there vote for a one off payment of $400. John Howard has the best spin doctors on the planet.
