  1. Nice, but isn't this technology already in use? on Sketch Your Furniture in the Air · · Score: 0

    I swear I've seen commercials on television, er... I mean YouTube, where artists such as "Jay-Z" use this same technology to create their own HP notebook computers. I think notebooks, even from HP, are significantly more complex than tables and chairs that look like balloon animals.

  3. The old flaming bag on the porch? on Combating Harassing Use of Mosquito Noise Device? · · Score: 0

    The old flaming bag on the porch?
    I'm suprised no one has suggested it yet.
    "A flaming bag, eh? Well, these new Italian loafers will make short work of it."

    And so forth...

    I like the idea of disabling it, but leaving the LEDs functioning, so that the neighbor still thinks it's working...

    HR: Yup.
    John: I work here quite a bit. What was the cause of wanting to terminate my employment today?

    John: Do you have outsourced or subcontracted employees elsewhere?
    HR: Yup.

    John: Okay, I mean is there a problem with my performance?
    HR: No. we just don't use you, we don't need you, we don't want you. We just don't need you anymore.
    John: Okay. So when you use me... I mean, use my services, I'm saying, is that for business customers or for... for home users?
    HR: Dude, what difference does it make. We don't want you working at AOL anymore. Can we please terminate your employment?

    You get the idea...

  5. Re:Safety of police officers? on Photograph the Police, Get Arrested · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why do people assume that the photographs are going to be used for some 'negative' reason?
    Isn't it equally as likely that the photos would be used to identify police officers to shower them with praise and commendations for a job well, done.

  6. Similar product for Windows PC's in the works on 1.50 Downgrader for 2.50/2.60 PSPs Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    I read some guy is working on a PC Downgrader. It currently works on Windows VISTA Beta and knocks it down to a Windows 95 OSR 2 box.
    I guess too many people were "BRICKING" their pc's with WGA and all.

    Good Luck with that!

Many of these laptops/notebooks have completely keyless ignitions and door locks, meaning it can all be done wirelessly. Thieves often follow a laptop/notebook until it gets left in a quiet area, and they can steal it in about 20 minutes..."

  14. Guys obsessed with size of their runways? on One REALLY Long Runway for Rent · · Score: 0

    Why is it that guys are so obsessed with size?
    If you look at the first few dozen posts, it's all about who's runway is the longest and whose is the widest.
    And how many "touch and go's" one can perform down the length of it?
    I used to land at this airport with only had a 4,000 ft runway, and I'm telling you...
    I'll take a guy with short runway who knows how to use it over a guy with 15,000 ft runway anyday!
