  1. Re:Hmmm sodium borate on Homemade Silly Putty · · Score: 1

    Its all relative.

    as long as its got the right proportions it doesnt matter what a Large Flask is.

    btw, you can buy Sodium borate at your local grocery store.

    Borax: A hydrated sodium borate, Na2B4O710H2O, an ore of boron, that is used as a cleaning compound

  2. Ive known about this for several years on Homemade Silly Putty · · Score: 3, Informative

    Glue borax and water.

    Its not really the same consistancy of silly putty from the times Ive made it.

  3. Re:Can we use the law against them and sue them? on RIAA Bits · · Score: 1

    I doubt the RIAA is going to neglect looking at artist name before sending subpoenas.

  5. Re:Can we use the law against them and sue them? on RIAA Bits · · Score: 1

    But to get them to notice the file and assume it was theirs, you would have improperly name it.

    Most likely that would be considered entrapment, however a ruling on that would disallow the RIAA from sharing its own material and suing those who downloaded it from them.

  8. Isn't a trade secret no longer a trade secret... on DeCSS Loses Free Speech Shield · · Score: 1

    ...if the party who reverse engineers it comes to find the "trade secret" on their own?


    Otherwise there should be a database of trade secrets so people dont infringe on them unknowningly :|

  9. What two things go better together than.... on Scout Walker Kama Sutra · · Score: 1

    Star wars and sex?


    Slashdot and not getting laid?

  10. Re:How is this not nuclear weaponry? on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 1

    It's not traditional nuclear weaponry because it doesnt need to reach critical mass to cause the explosion and gives off entirely gamma rays.


    It also doesnt leave fallout like traditional nukes do.

    rtfa?

  11. Re:Who cares about Bombs, what about Reactors? on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 1

    Didnt it say in the article that they pumped the nucleus with energy and it gave off 60 times that?

    "The possibility that this process could be explosive was discovered when Carl Collins and colleagues at the University of Texas at Dallas demonstrated that they could artificially trigger the decay of the hafnium isomer by bombarding it with low-energy X-rays (New Scientist print edition, 3 July 1999). The experiment released 60 times as much energy as was put in, and in theory a much greater energy release could be achieved."

  12. How do you pronounce "devour" on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 1

    Oh thats right, not the same as colour or flavour. Its flavor/color in my book because of that, and not having to write the extra letter.

  15. Re:Theft vs Piracy on Questions for DoJ IP Attorneys Asked and Answered · · Score: 1

    "the artist was deprived of a certain amount of money which he could've made as a result of selling the music. So it *could* be labelled as theft, since the artist was deprived indirectly as a result of filesharing." Yes, but would people still purchase the music if it wasnt free? My guess is probably not. It's pretty obvious that people act on free things not only more than costly items, but they might not buy the item at all if it were not free. This is like saying Burger King is a thief from MacDonald's since they "stole" their potential customers using the same business plan.

  16. Re:This does not make sense on UN Recommends WiFi for Poor Countries · · Score: 1

    ...countries in which the people are so poor they steal copper phone lines and sell them. Sad part is, I'm not kidding.
