    Of course.

    First ingredient is "all the gold jewelry in the house".

    After that time consuming step it is simple!

  2. Right thing to do. on Judge Declares Mistrial Because of Wikipedia · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just finished jury duty so this is all fresh in my mind. The jurors job is to determine if the evidence presented shows that the defendant violated specific laws. The judge lets you know specifically what the laws are and explains what they mean if it is too cryptic for a non-lawyer to understand. In the case I was in it basically meant that all 6 of us were used as human lie detectors to see which witnesses were the most truthful. We were encouraged to ask questions if anything was unclear about the law, evidence or charges. Outside interpretations would have tainted the whole thing.

  3. Re:1. Complete nonsense; 2. google ELM327 on Any Open Source Solutions For DIY Auto Diagnostics? · · Score: 1

    You've apparently got no understanding of what the OBD II interface lets you do.

    OBD II lets you read trouble codes and operational data (sensor values, fuel integrator, ignition timing, etc.), and lets you clear trouble codes.

    That's it. There's no danger at all. You can't alter anything other than clearing trouble codes.

    I do not think that means what you think that means...

    I could very easily use open source software to write out new code to the ECU in my subaru. There was no way (to my knowledge) to have it effect safety systems but you could pop the engine if the wrong bits were flicked.

    Good question... I bet his watch was off by a few milliseconds so he missed the appointment.

    Does AT&T have 3G coverage in the Arabian desert?

    I can't even get coverage in Cambridge, MA so I'm going to go out on a limb and guess "no".

    Would teleporting a single atom be beneficial?

    It all depends on how long it takes and how fast you can do another one.

    First, this is about your safety.

    I don't give a flying crap about HIS safety. I care about mine! I want you to be able to stop only so you don't hurt me. Go ahead and fly into a field all by yourself, just don't take me with you.

  23. Re:You'd think by now... on Canon Tries To Shut Down "Fake" Canon Blog · · Score: 1

    That is intentional, check the moderation FAQ. The stated reason is that it allows an abusive mod to mod up/down a post in a new article, then post once it comes off the front page (making it a lot less important) and get the points back to use again.

    I can't believe people care that much.
