  1. 700p no camera? on Palm to Announce New Treo in September · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about the no camera version of the 700p first. Can't have a camera in my phone due to work issues. Want to trade up from my 650.... If the Motorola Q had no camera, I might check it out.

  2. Already Happened in Chicago on Ticketmaster to Start Online Ticket Auction · · Score: 1

    For the Roger Waters concert this fall, ticketmaster had auctions set up. It was kind of stupid, because the end date of the auction was several days after the tickets went on sale, so if you *really* wanted to go to the concert, you either had to buy "regular" tickets (to make sure you got a seat), then bid on the auction seats, or you had to cross your fingers that you would win the auction, and bump up your bid to a price you may not have wanted to pay.

  3. Beer Muscles on Alcohol Powered Muscles · · Score: 1

    I had a few friends in college that had "Beer Muscles", (i.e. get a few in you, and you think you can take on the world)

  4. Re:Problematic on Megapixels & Camera Phones · · Score: 1

    I got the treo 650 no camera version about a year ago from Sprint. You have to get it from the business end of the site. I can't believe they don't offer it to the "personal" part of the site, or at least show it as an option. I can't bring a camera phone into several places I go, and since it contains my calendar, address book, etc, I *do* need it even when I wouldn't need a phone.

  5. Re:Quick Fix, Instant-Oatmeal One-Hour photo answe on 'No Quick Fix' From Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    Big power plants of any description are never going to be quick anyway. It can take three years just to get a turbine rotor delivered out of a catalogue. What catalogue do I use to shop for turbine rotors? Grainger?

  6. Re:It's Not Enough on Best Buy Working Towards Ending Mail-in Rebates · · Score: 1

    Generic is great.... until you realize that your clothes aren't as clean with supr-wash detergent as they were with Tide, etc. Or the suds you get with cleans-a-lot dish soap don't last as long as Dawn, etc. Sometimes it is worth it to pay a premium for a premium product.

  7. Re:use a powered hub on Wireless USB hubs · · Score: 1

    Tried that. Should have worked, Didn't work. There is a difference between real world applications, and theory. I think a USB printer would work fine, but the scanner is touchy.

  8. Great News on Wireless USB hubs · · Score: 1

    I have an HP Scanner, and if I extend the USB cables past about 20', it doesn't work properly. Unfortunately, since I want to place the scanner on the other side of the office, I either need to run more than 20' or have the cable strung over the top of my desk. This sounds great.

  9. My Thermostat does this already on Saving Energy in Small Office Buildings · · Score: 1

    Honewell Chronotherm IV. http://www.honeywell-thermostat.com/honeywell/t860 2-thermostat.htm It adapts to the temperature patterns to start heating or cooling at the optimum time to maintain a steady temperature.

  10. Re:Fosters Beer is Laughable in AU on Australia To Legalize VCR Recording and CD Ripping · · Score: 1

    Good Beer in Australia? Duff Beer

  11. VCR Recording? on Australia To Legalize VCR Recording and CD Ripping · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cool, Now I can toss out my DVR and get my old VCR's out of the attic and start recording. Anybody know where to find blank VHS tapes?

  12. Re:Why? on Google To Purchase Stake In AOL For $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    Because the teeny boppers ALL use AIM.

  13. Re:In their favour... on Google to Buy Opera? · · Score: 1

    So... next is "O" verstock.com?

  14. hippies on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 1

    if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down. or so the hippies used to say.

  15. roleplaying? on Coding and Roleplaying - Is There a Connection? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, I used to code, and me and the wife like to role play every once in a while, so I guess there is a correlation.

  16. don crabb would have secured this on U of C Student Information Compromised · · Score: 1
