I read a story in Reader's Digest about a kid who built a small reactor out of the radioactive stuff in smoke detectors. He got really sick from the radiation, and the EPA(I think) came in and carted off all of his equipment and the shed he built it in as nuclear waste.
Now, give that kid a credit card and this link, and just sit back and watch the fireworks.....

I was just in a debate with a fairly anti-Linux person today. He will move to Linux when he can "walk into Wal-Mart and get any application on the shelf for Linux." Of course, the software usually exists, except in the gaming market, and that's changing radically these days. Maybe some sort of CD distros of useful Linux software would make a dent in this. Creed
Everyday I find a new reason to get news elsewhere. Moderate it down. It is meaningless crap. Intelligent conversation on/. has certainly gone down the tubes.
This sounds like the result of what Chesterson talked about. A sort of cult of progress. <br> I guess life sux if all you live for is the next innovation and have no internal ability to fufill the human desire of a meaningful life.<br> Creed

Yadda, yadda. You weren't amusing the first time. Moderate 'em down.
