I saw this at Rudy's BBQ in Austin on my last business trip, and they swear it works. When I walked around back there wasn't a single fly over the dumpsters...

It's a streetlight.

"I know several people who would respond to this story by saying, "Hey, if you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about. Only criminals are always crying about their rights."

My reply to this is always "If you have nothing to hide, why bother sending your mail in an envelope? Would not a postcard be easier and cheaper?..."

I'm down to about 1:30 with a sticky cube, but I'm not so fussed to do anything about it...

If I leave a rigged camera in the woods and nobody is around to see the victim get shocked, does one side still laugh?

Surf report: It's three feet and it stinks.

Nice! I've got about six copies of this issue thanks to Trip Hawkins being featured in this issue during my tenure at 3DO... =)

Anecdotal post, feel free to stop reading now.

Every time I feel a cold coming on and conditions permit, I go for a long surf. Inevitably, my sinuses get a cold salty flushing (aren't you glad you didn't stop reading after all?). I try and stay in the water as long as stamina allows, then have a hearty bowl of soup and early bed. It never fails to knock out a cold quickly, within a day or so.

"They did a "line up" of brown paper bags containing either cut up paper, uncirculated paper currency or the arrestee's money. The drug dog, not surpassingly, picked the "drug money" at which point the officer said that was good enough for the State of Florida to seize the money!"

I saw that, and was shocked at the fact that the policeman had first handled suspected drugs, and THEN the money, tainting the entire process.

Seems like a get out of money confiscation free card to me...

I think it was La Rochefoucauld that said "All that we possess, possesses us."

If I'm running three turntables, a mixer, and a 400W amp which are usually in an always-on state due to inconvenient switches, how long would I have to use this powerstrip and lovely remote before it pays for itself in electricity savings?

Wonder how many people will be wandering the frozen aisle with a metal detector...?

First & probably worst - 'The Inca' on Bay Area BBS New Dork Sublime. Worst because I don't have a drop of Indian blood in me...

Thanks for reminding me of the $450 phone bill we generated in one month trying to beat some jerks in a door game on &TOTSE in neighboring-yet-toll-call 510 (we later learned they were using a money bug to cheat).
