Apple Geniuses to get even more douchey

Odd, I spilled my douche on my Apple laptop and they amazingly had no problem with it. Next time..tell them it's douche. *nods*
Steampunk Shopsmith: antique, steam-driven pulley workshop
April 29, 2008 2:33pm
That's beautiful.
Reminds me of an episode I saw of the Old Yankee Workshop (maybe different..NOT the one with Norm but the one where the dude uses turn of the century skills and no electricity..if someone knows the name PLEASE speak up) where they showed how farmers would make lathes from springy wood saplings and leather belt drives.
Sleazy proposed new Dungeons and Dragons license seeks to poison open gaming systems

I am 34 soon and been dicking with D&D since the original blue and white box set I found awaiting me in the closet around 3rd grade.
WOTC..you can go suck it. We don't care about 4th edition or anything else..there's enough content out there (90 percent of which isn't needed by anyone with an imagination) to keep legions of gamers happy forever.

Blaupunkt 'Brisbane' in-dash stereo leaves out the CD player
April 23, 2008 2:06pm
I'd be okay with it IF it was hovering at the $100 pricemark and not double that. And 127 directories is a joke..it should be triple or more that at the least. AND have a front USB port for flash drives.

Shopping cart with robot legs and tendrils of flame
April 15, 2008 6:17am
As poignant as the lack of comments on this reflect on views of homeless is, I have too. Excellent. Groovy flames too :D
I wonder if homeless will still be blamed for their plight and ignored when it's people you know (re: housing price 'adjustment' in America)
Universal Music: it's illegal to throw away the promo CD we sent you without your permission

Feel free to implement this people, there's no sidewalks here..

Baby wipes. Perhaps flushable ones (assuming they biodegrade easier).
crank LED flashlight.
A good, sharp knife. Nothing Rambo sized.
A good first aid kit, and unless you're camping in the woods behind mom's house, an emergency beacon such as back country skiiers use.
A most of all..GOOD HIKING BOOTS and GOOD SOCKS.
Banpresto DangerBomb Alarm Clock Makes Each Morning Your Last

That'd be worth bringing through a TSA checkpoint just to watch them shit themselves in glee at actually finding a 'bomb'.
Zeppelin moored to gigantic steamer with buzzing biplanes
March 18, 2008 6:26am
Or they would have speed matched the zep, and been lowered down to the ship after it docked.
They didn't have RADAR in '23..hence the need for spotting planes.

March 18, 2008 6:02am
#2: Ballast...and how could it capsize with an inflatable dirigible attached at the top?
#3: Hence the idea of it being steampunked
#4: The net. Biplanes flew extremely slow.

Where Are the Black Tech Bloggers?

Scientology strikes back at "Anonymous" via YouTube
March 14, 2008 11:05am
Someone needs to laser graffiti their building in downtown Clearwater, Florida. :D
I miss the days when if someone was hassling you, you simply could kick the crap out of them. If they were bigger...use a brick.
Of course those days ended when the 'net became popular and people stopped doing things like..going outside. Hard to beat people up with twig arms and giant arses holding you back.
We need to rally the homeless against them, thats what I think. A perfect army of unknown, untraceable minions who will work for food, don't have lives for Scienta's to exploit or make public "John Doe Lives Behind A Dumpster behind Dennys on Main St!", and whom have been ousted from the parks by Scienta controlled city boards anyways.

Montana Governor explains why Real ID sucks
March 7, 2008 9:24pm
I listened to the entire interview today. He was as straightforward as one can get "They can go to hell!"
Homeland Security's comment was "Showing up at an airport after May with a Montana license will be the same as showing up with no license".
If the people won't stand up to this idiocy, maybe it will be a State Vs Federal issue. I hope the Montana people back their governor.

Cop roughs up teenage skateboarder on video
February 14, 2008 8:27am
"Stop calling me DUDE! A dude is someone that works on a ranch!" -awesome.
FTR, a 'dude' is what a cowboy (a person that may work on a ranch) would call a clueless city tourist who is paying to visit said ranch. (Dude horse= a well mannered horse that won't throw a clueless city person).
Judging from his tiny legs, fat gut, and temper, I'd say Officer Rivieri has a problem with low blood sugar, a bitchy wife and a cat that pisses on his pillow..

Hen lays green eggs (no ham)
January 31, 2008 7:11pm
eggs come from chickens? Blasphemists! Next you'll be saying my hamburger comes from those cow things, not the giant plastic box in the backroom of the supermarket.
Yeah, green eggs are far from newsworthy, even if they suddenly pop up in some little village in the middle of nowhere.
Now if they were giant Golden Eggs..time to Hail Eris!

January 19, 2008 9:57am
Ah just round up a few hundred homeless people, stick them on a Conan turnstile pushing the pumps, and art appreciators can toss them food. That way everyone is happy, no?
-homeless fed and have a purpose, plus great exercise!
-bio-friendly art project
-more empty doorways to relieve yourself in after stumbling out of the pub, or to get a quicky from a hooker in after those snooty NYC girls snub you.

Driver tasered for refusing to sign traffic ticket
November 27, 2007 5:22pm
I agree Teresa, he's in the wrong (cop). But, the driver should have sat where he was though and been clear about what was happening before he exited the 'safety' of his car. Hard lesson to learn the shocking way :(
A classic example of your 'safety bubble' getting popped. Pre-taser proliferation era, the trooper simply would have grabbed him, tossed him against the car and cuffed him, leaving his shocked wife and baby behind to follow to the station.
Anyone selling "Don't Tase Me, Bro!" bumperstickers yet?
Driver tasered for refusing to sign traffic ticket
November 27, 2007 4:06pm
You don't have to be meek when pulled over, just be calm, and if you're nervous and the cop asks you why you are nervous, tell the truth "I'm being pulled over". Works for me :)
As for the video..they both screwed up. YOU'RE TRAVELING IN UTAH for christ's sake. I've only lived out here for 5 years (moved from NYC) and you aren't dealing with pansy ass people, period. Especially outside of city limits. He should have signed the ticket and fought it in court. Cops don't make laws, they enforce them. The video would have clearly shown he has being pulled over before the speed limit sign.
Onto the tasing..the trooper was a dick. Period. Granted, he was probably already pissed the guy called him officer instead of Trooper (big mistake , people), but tasing should be a last resort before pulling a gun. It's not like blondie was a 6'5" biker with prison tats. What you have there was two jock cops pulling over some city yuppy and making him flop around like a freshly landed trout.
verdict?
both parties = asshats.
