  1. How Not To Be Seen on Wired Writer Disappears, Find Him and Make $5k · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the old Monty Python sketch...How Not To Be Seen.

    This is Mr. Evan Ratliff of San Francisco, United States. Mr. Ratliff cannot be seen. However, I will ask him to stand up.

    Mr. Ratliff, would you stand up please.

    BOOM!

    Mr. Ratliff has not learned the first lesson of not being seen...not to stand up.

  2. Re:Mail it on Securing Your Notebook Against US Customs · · Score: 1

    Buy a second drive and load it with DOS only. This becomes your "travel" drive. Carry your real drive separately or ship it to your destination and do the same on the reverse trip.

  3. Frozen Time on Universe May Be Running Out of Time · · Score: 1

    Mmmmmmmmm.....frozen time. With chocolate sprinkles.

  4. Re:Obvious improvements on First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq · · Score: 1

    As pointed out earlier, there will be support troops in the vicinity of this thing. I don't know what the actual deployment statergy for this thing would be but I guess it would be good for establishing cover fire or maybe some close quarter work. I just hope it was designed to not be overcome by cheaper, simpler technology.

  5. How Rugged? on First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq · · Score: 1

    How rugged is this thing? If I was going up against it, I'd try and disable it. Can the cameras & sensors be easily shot out to blind it? Has the Army tested it by running it over a mine or IED? How quickly can it be field repaired? An insurgent could blind it, disable it and steal what ever weapon happened to be on board?

  6. This gives new meaning... on Well I'll Be A Monkey's Uncle · · Score: 1

    ...to the term "hot monkey love".

  7. Geek weight loss on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 1

    Sean wrote: " I've personally lost a hundred pounds so far...". So that means you weight around 65 lbs now?

  8. Wait for Mature Technology on Digital 35mm SLRs? · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for the technology to mature a bit more before I take the plunge into digital cameras. I've read about the Foveon technology but it doesn't seem to have made it to the mainstream market. Is there a future for Foveon?

  9. Small Form Factor on Pentium-M In Mini-ITX Format · · Score: 1

    It's not the size that counts...it's what you do with it . Oh, wait...we're talking about computers. Never mind.

  10. Net-work on Public Net-work · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Steven,
    Why did you use a hyphen in the word "Net-work"?
    It is annoy-ing when peo-ple use hyphens in-corr-ect-ly. Thank-you for your atten-tion.

  11. Re:Tea, Earl Grey, Hot on How About A Cup Of The Answer To Everything? · · Score: 1

    Odd how Picard was supposed to French but drank his tea like an Englishman.

  12. 123456? on LavaRnd: A Open Source Project for Truly Random Numbers · · Score: 2, Funny

    123456? That's the combination of my luggage. I need new luggage!!!

  13. The Beast is Old on The Beast of Brussels · · Score: 1

    I remember hearing stories about this Beast of Brussels in the mid 70s. Another urban legend.

  14. Exchange of Service on Growth Job Sector: Freelance Technical Support · · Score: 1

    I've worked out a deal with my chiropractor to get adjustments and therapy in exchange for maintaining their office network. Keeps me nice & flexible.

  15. P�t�? on French Government Bans Term 'E-Mail' · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will SPAM now become Pâté? Also, the SPAM song won't be as funny if you sing...

    Pâté, Pâté, Pâté... wonderful Pâté!

  16. "Oldest" type stuff on Searching for the Oldest Running Application · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Speaking of "oldest" tech things...it would be interesting to find out what the oldest telephone number in continuous use in the US is or the oldest email address.

  17. Accessories on MP3 Player In An AK-47 Magazine · · Score: 1

    Will they throw in the girl in the pictures as an accessory? I like the picture of the two pouches...one holds the player and the other holds the girl.

  18. Re:EFI writes/loads from the Hard Drive? on BIOS' Days Are Numbered · · Score: 1

    EFI does not require ANY media to boot to it's command prompt. Check out the Intel EFI site at:
    http://www.intel.com/technology/efi/

  19. How would this play on Futurama? on Mood-Sensing Computer · · Score: 1

    I read this story and thought of how Bender would perform this task.

  20. There's nothing like a good ISP... on One Million AOL discs to be returned to AOL · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...and AOL is NOTHING LIKE a good ISP!

  21. Re:Clover Digital HF on Email Over High-Frequency Radio in West Africa · · Score: 2, Informative

    Clover is still around. Check out Clover 2000 at: http://www.halcomm.com/clover2000.htm

  22. Spread Spectrum Napster on Ask Eric Blossom about Software-Defined Radio · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps this could allow Napster to reinvent itself as a encrypted broadband spread spectrum music distribution service.

  23. Live Bait Vending Machine on Shop Till It Drops · · Score: 1

    Hmmmmmm...live bait.

  24. South Pole Broadband on Broadband To Hit The South Pole · · Score: 1

    Wow, they get broadband and I can't even get DSL to my apartment!

  25. Re:Electrokinetic Drive? on Big Black Delta Mystery Solved? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, they're using multiple Vectored Cow Flatulence Propulsion Modules. They have cows suspended in frames that squeeze the cows in the right places producing hugh amounts of thrust. If you've read this far...then it must be true.
