Same deal with the hydrochloric acid and the tinfoil in the 2L bottle, but even more fun:
Before inserting the foil and acid, securely duct-tape a large rock or brick to the bottle. Insert the foil and acid, quickly cap the bottle, and toss into the middle of the nearest small lake/retention pond.. From what I can find online, standard 2L soda bottles can withstand >200 psi, so it's quite a pop!
Wait for it, wait for it.....*deep thud* *ground shakes*, BOOM!
*Disclaimer - Horrible for lake ecosystem, I'm sure.

1) Sign up for new service with T-Mobile 2) Choose the most valuable phone they offer for "free" with your service plan. 3) Sell that phone on eBay (unlock first if phone is locked to service provider). 4) Use money made on eBay sale to buy the phone you *really* want, factory unlocked. 5) Pop SIM card into your new phone and you're good to go.
I did this with T-Mobile and it worked great. I really liked T-Mobile's coverage and plans/pricing, but they phones they offered with Bluetooth sucked.
I wanted a Motorola flip-phone that was compatible with Mac OS X's Address Book and iCal programs so I could Bluetooth-sync back and forth. I decided the V620 was the best choice, so I ordered an "unbranded, factory unlocked" one from some cell phone store (NOT from NY, never do that).
When my nice, free Nokia phone arrived from T-Mobile, I promptly unlocked it (meaning it could now be used with any GSM network that runs on the phone's 3 frequencies) and sold it on eBay. Slipped SIM card into my V620 and BAM, it just worked. I think all I had to do was program in T-Mobile's voicemail number, as the phone didn't know it by default. The thing works like a charm, and I use OBEX all the time.
If you don't have any anti-virus software installed, or at least a scanner, how would you know whether your computer is infected or not? If your machine belongs to a bot net, you probably don't know about it.
To put it another way: Just because you have no symptoms doesn't mean you don't have cancer.

YOU may be ok with him lying about his behavior while in the employ of the people, but I'm not. I expect my elected representatives to do their fucking jobs, and answer when held accountable.
So as long as you never hold Bush accountable for anything and continue to be a total sycophant that never asks any hard questions or, even if you do, expects no answer other than a meaningless soundbite, then he'll never have to lie under oath! A perfect plan!
People add "music" to performances for "artistic effect", or do you think there would really be an orchestra on a space ship (or anytime an orchestra isn't in the shot on any TV show or movie)?
I for one like the shaky camera, is does make for a more dramatic effect. It is somewhat trendy, but people have been using it widely since Saving Private Ryan, and with good reason.....because it "works".
If you live in Northern VA, get Cox. I have standard cable modem service through them and they have been fantastic. They block a few incoming ports (like 80 and some well-known worm ports), but other than thet they seem to be wide open.
Great uptime, I can't think of a single outage since I've had them (almost 2 years). I complained about crappy speed when I first moved into my 1960s apartment, the some Cox guy came out and replaced about every coax fitting in the place, plus a few cable runs (where he could get to them).
Music Downloads = Expensive Concerts? Well if you put it that way, of course it'll be true. This is a common mistake with the assignment operator. What you meant to say was "Music Downloads == Expensive Concerts?" This will test to see if the statement is true, then return.
I'm not sure if that '?' is syntactically correct. Unless you remapped it to mean ';' using a global replace or something....
I'd take a car to go a mile if I had to do it more than once or twice in a short period of time. Not for a block walk, but a mile is a fair distance (12-15 minutes or so at a normal stride?).
I have a relative that works at the NSA in the Information Assurance/Threat Assessment area, and both of his machines (both classified and non) are Macs running OS X (not sure what version, hopefully Tiger).
When I was 18 we snuck a 750mL bottle (in my back pocket no less, no coat or anything) of Captain Morgan into a nice, new AMC theater (with lots of goons...I mean staff around) and drank the entire thing in about an hour. Had to beg people in the parking lot for a ride becuase we couldn't stand up.
Generally, Adults have stopped learning (unless you go to university), and thus, they have more time to game and less to study (as high school is a frantic time).
I'm not sure what planet you're from, but I have WAY less time to game now that I'm a 40-hr a week employee than I did when in college (both undergrad and grad). There's no way in hell I spent a full 8 hours a day * 5 days a week on school work and/or class. A real job TOTALLY takes away from game time.

TiVo is actually very smart to offer the new "no money down" plans - that's the #1 complaint I hear from people as to why they don't buy a TiVo; many people do not like buying a product and THEN paying a monthly fee.
**cough cough** World of Warcraft **cough cough**
I can't believe they charge you up-front for a game that will become totally useless once you stop paying the monthly fee. It's not like there's some kind of hardware cost to cover per unit; once you develop the game it's essentially "free" to distribute (minus packaging and such). Either sell the game for full price with a tiny/no monthly fee, or give it away and charge the fee to play. Not both!
Ah, that makes more sense. I keep thinking "with CSS broken, who the hell would want to have a copy of anything from a video stream? You can just decode the DVD on your computer without playing it!"
Then I realized that the next gen of discs that comes out will not use CSS, and may not be able to be decoded.
Well, so long as I can play non-CSS, current-gen DVDs at upscaled resolution I'm happy (for now).
Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly. If I burn a DVD of some home movies and put it in a standard DVD player connected to an HDCP-compliant TV, will it not play at 720p (or some other upscaled resolution) because it doesn't have CSS? I'm confused.
What I'm saying is, in what situation (copying commerical DVDs, home-made DVDs, etc) would HDCP prevent me from doing activity $FOO? What is the problem? It sounds like if you have an HDCP dvd player and an HDCP tv, it'll play anything you throw at it in high(er) def.

Great IDE Dual-Layer burner, Mac compatible (works with Toast out-of-the-box, I used Patchburn to make it "Apple Supported/Shipped"), apparently Linux compatible, and dirt cheap ($35.99).
Kicks ass, no coasters, does just about every format. 'nuff said.
