Can't stop a Diesel

On: Stopping Cars With Microwave Radiation

This is absolutely useless against old diesel cars. I don't need no stinkin' computers or sparkplugs.

On: Study Points to Sixth Sense in Humans

Over the last year, I have convinced myself that I can predict adn anticipate speed traps at least 30 seconds to 1 minute before I reach it.

Whenever I am driving and let my mind wander. If I get a random thought that is related to police in any way, I slow down.

It works for me at least 9.5 times out of 10.

CD-ROM Digital port

On: Most Common Ways to Kill a PC

My friend was working on one of his computers one day and saw one of those small connectors coming out of the power supply not connected to anything.
Anyways, he thought it needed to be plugged in somewhere and what better place than the little 2-pin port on the back of a CD-ROM drive.
It looked like it was meant to be plugged in there because it fit, and he decided to turn the computer on.

White smoke was everywhere. Something inside the power supply exploded, killing the cdrom drive, and everything in the computer.

That just goes to show that even if the plug fits, it might not always be the right place to put it.

Steganography in MP3's

On: Secret Data: Steganography v Steganalysis

I used to use a DOS program called mp3stego that would convert .wav files to .mp3 and hide whatever data you specified in it.

Passengers

On: Cellphone Drivers Drive Like Drunks

I was talking to my friend in my car and I was pulling up to a light that is ALWAYS red when i get there.

But this time it was green and I stopped anyway.(still talking)

When it turned red, all I noticed was that the light changed colors and I didn't notice what color it was.

I ran the light and confused the hell out of someone making a left turn.

Does this mean NT4 is considered 'abandonware' now?

bargain basement pentium

On: PCs For A Workshop Environment?

just go to a local computer shop and find one that has a bargain/junk corner and pick up a pI/II for $5 dollars.

else you could grab an old comp off the side of the road since people get new comps at christmas and sometimes throw their old ones outside.
