  1. Re:Could they get banned at airports? on Build Your Own Stun Gun · · Score: 1


    So say I swallowed two lengths of wire (different metals) and left the ends sticking out of my mouth, could I use the power generated to do something nefarious...?

  2. Kids now working for Chinese gov! on Forget MTV, I Want My Internet! · · Score: 1

  4. Re:Gmail isn't bad on Gmail Addresses For Sale · · Score: 1


    Yeah, but Google loves crawling! If they're similar to Google's AdSense, they'll be a bot poking about.

    I can't imagine they'd try contextual ads on email though. The logic would be a bit backward to show ads based on the content of what you read in email. That's more the sender's interests really.

    Now there's potential genius. They could base ads on the content of messages you send...

    Are these contextual ads?

    The thought of Google crawling my email to serve up relevant ads is about as appealing as a sack of three day old bait, sorry.

    And, to be honest, would shoebutt.com really want to pay six bucks a click based on the following email:

    -----
    Ack!
    I just spent like 3 hours organizing my f***ing closet.
    I really don't own that many clothes. I was just being really anal about organizing my shoes...
    etc and so on

    PS It may be hard to believe, but shoebutt.com is still available (for you domain speculators). It's pure gold...

    At 1,100 pounds, I hope there are "porters" available...

    Flying along like a supersonic aircraft A Belgian motorist was left stunned after authorities sent him a speeding ticket for travelling in his Mini at three times the speed of sound.

  8. No means no on Sake Used to Make Wooden Speakers · · Score: 1

    Sorry, it was breaking up. What was that?

    "Finally he discovered that soaking the *noise* in sake (but not whiskey) made *more noise* pliable enough to *even more noise* cones..."

    What the hell is he doing with those speakers!?!?

  11. Look, a shooting star! on Nuclear 'Asteroids' Due In A Few Hundred Years · · Score: 1

    Didn't I see this on Futurama?

    The solution is really quite simple, we launch another radioactive fuel core on a direct collision course with the first, knocking it off its trajectory giving us another couple hundred years.

  12. Little pirate bastards! on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 1

    I wondered why all the kids were wearing eyepatches...

    Arr!!! It's those bloody unscrupulous corporations distributing their piracy machines to children and students, all in an effort to tempt them to engage in copyright piracy and/or pornography distribution.

    Next thing you know they'll start handing out cassette recorders and photo copiers...

  13. Re:Let the gamblers play... on WTO Wants USA to Gamble Online · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I'm new to Slashdot. Let me try that with some proper formatting...

    "It's appalling," said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. "It cannot be allowed to stand that another nation can impose its values on the U.S. and make it a trade issue."

    Gee, Bob, isn't that the real reason the US gets involved in these "World" organizations in the first place - one more channel to try to impose our values on the rest of the world?

    When we agree to play nice together from a common ground established by working in cooperation with the other member nations, are we crossing our fingers behind our backs?

    Yes, Bob, I run a site with gaming information and tips. I have my own agenda, I like blackjack and poker. So is the Justice Department coming after me next? After all I do link to a few offshore gaming sites...

    I think that should do it...
