  1. Free houses on Windows that Double as LCD Monitors · · Score: 1

    Anyone else see it? You get a free house, or some other incentive, paid for by advertisements displayed in your windows both inside and out. Its the ULTIMATE Tivo work-around for the advertisement industry.

  2. Re:Future? on Windows that Double as LCD Monitors · · Score: 2, Funny

    "an opening especially in the wall of a building for admission of light and air that is usually closed by casements or sashes containing transparent material (as glass) and capable of being opened and shut" seems a bit wordy

    Do you think Mexican food contains people?

  5. Crap on Apache Cookbook · · Score: 4, Funny

    Thought I was going to get some good Native American cooking recipes.

  6. Re:News for nerds. Stuff that matters! on Spirit Rolls on Mars · · Score: 1

    The only reason why SCO is getting so much press is because they are trying to hinder engineering accoumplishments.

    I thought it was because they're assholes?

    It looks like plexiglass or polycarbinate AND you can make bongs out of the stuff...

  10. Re:demo? on Chinese MagLev Train Opens Next Week · · Score: 1

    I would if I could find some Perspex. I did a Google on it and found out its been around since the 40's, but I've never heard of it before. You can make a bong out of it too. This requires further research.

  11. Re:Scientists invent Self-Publicising Scientist on Scientists Invent Scientist · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wonder how long it will be till it tells the other scientists to "Kiss my shiny metal ass."

  12. Re:Not exactly the Matrix on Matrix-Style Brain Interface Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    The only difference is that the machines also presented an alternate view of reality
    Until an Agent totally fucked up their perception of reality...
    which this technology would not do
    that's why I tried to rebut the technology being compared to it...

  13. Re:Hackers... on Matrix-Style Brain Interface Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    Right...definitely NOT something you want the operating system of a certain company based in Redmond, WA controlling.

    Kind of shocked not to see any blonde jokes yet!!!

  14. Not exactly the Matrix on Matrix-Style Brain Interface Closer To Reality · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This would enable handicap people to control machines, not vice-versa. It would be killer for fighter pilots though...

    just a thought

  17. Re:90 days on Mars Rover Rolls And Turns · · Score: 1

    They should have installed a compressed air system to blow the dust off the panels. Seems like they'd just need a few cans of compressed air to extend the life by a few months.

  22. Re:Why only cheese? on The Cheese Slicing Laser · · Score: 1

    Water jet cutting in the fish industry is also much safer because there's no blades for bacteria to grow on.
    The thickest steel I've seen cnc laser cutting tables for is 5/8". It has to do with the focus depth of the laser; 5/8" is the deepest the laser can be focused and still cut the material that's shallower than 5/8".

  23. Re:fast food industry on The Cheese Slicing Laser · · Score: 1

    I used to do that, then switched to a veggie and fruit diet with cheese (moz) daily to supplement protein and meat once a week back in May. Went from 298 to 245 in 6 months yet I'm eating more now than ever...just the right stuff now.

    It seems to me that the people that would get the best use out of this are CGI creators & other graphic artists and AutoCAD (and other CAD programs) users such as myself.
