I looked into building a cell phone jammer for kicks not too long ago, and I found out that the FCC will slap you with a fine to the tune of $70K per day. I might be wrong about the dollar amount, but whatever it is, it isn't pleasant.
Working at the patent office is about as dreadful as pressing the delete key all day, as my friend tells me. She quit in less than a year (she must have been desperate to get away from a job in this lousy market).
Yes, the Environizer sold by Radio Shack(made by Honeywell) is a pretty good product. There are two huge differences between the two air purifiers sold by RS and Sharper Image: 1. The Honeywell Environizers have a silent fan built in; the SI product does not. Having a fan means you can clean a much larger volume of air. 2. Price. RS has much lower prices, at least $100 less than the competition for a comparable product.
I love my Environizer and recommend it to everyone who wants cleaner air.
This has concerned me for quite a while. UT was very slow to change it's policy regarding the use of the social security #. Up until a year or two ago, you could find papers outside TA's offices with socials on them.. Probably still can..
Considering the Alamo Drafthouse is about 5 minute from University of Texas at Austin (babe capital of Texas), chances are you can find some hotties nearby. (Lots of cute CS majors at UT...)
I decided to downgrade my pentium 233 thinkpad from windows 2000 to windows ME with litepc installed since my laptop has been too slow lately. So i buy litepc, installed windows me, and proceeded to strip it down as much as possible. I think 98lite is a cool product. HOWEVER, i decided i REALLY despise 98/ME. i mean, those are some really shitty os's. so, i ended up reinstalling windows 2000 and tweaking it as much as possible. oh, running office 97 and eudora instead of office 2k/xp helps a lot too...
Slashdot Mirror
I keep seeing people say that such electronic voting systems should be open, etc- so why hasn't someone made an open system yet (and marketed it)?
Perhaps I don't completely grasp the technical issues of such a system, but it doesn't seem terribly hard to implement.
Oh, another thing- if a user touches the touchscreen in two places at once, a popup window should say "Follow the directions, stupid"
Replace the dip switch inside the door opener with a 555 timer/counter circuit. Good times :)
Simpsons episode where homer becomes an astronaut.
As this "article" painfully demonstrates, we need the ability to moderate things on the front page.
If the editors cannot distinguish what is trash or what isn't, let the community decide.
Thank you.
I always thought it would be more efficient to vote than to destroy the government by force :)
I really miss those guys... God damn, i have been reading slashdot too long..
..but also disturbing. It would be so easy to plant such evidence on somebody's computer.
Next, try to build a circuit that computes -i^(1/2). Fun with a capital F. =)

My hat is off to you Sir/Madame/Alf.
is silly. I'm quite happy to have my Taiwanese girlfriend here. And many Taiwanese want nothing to do with the current regime in Beijing.

Oh wait, there isn't any other news..

Who else is tired of these lame commercials on

When Sengan used to post.. Now there was a real asshat :D
Or you could short the stock as it goes down the tubes and then buy it when it hits rock bottom.

Oh, you mean the movie where Marky Mark lays a 16 yr old Japanese girl at the end of the movie?
:)
I always thought that movie was a rip-off of Gross Pointe Blank, save for the statutory rape
Cool :)
Looks like something I did in an EE lab.

Perhaps you were insulting a really cute asian chick.. Eh, prolly not ;)
Is anyone with windowed cases having problems with electromagnetic interference?
:P
Say you have your CRT right by your window modded case- do you have distorted images on the CRT?
It just seems to me that i would want my system well shielded
Indeed. I have friends here in Austin who have spotted Harry and confirmed that he is a fatass Comic book clerk clone.
Personally, I used to like the site a few years ago, but now it is totally nauseating.
