An observation. In Home Depot they sell "Longer Life Incandescent Bulbs" in 24 and 36 packs. Do they think we are going to live forever?

In a great stab at irony, he should be 'told' to change it out for a Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb. After all they have a much longer lifespan.

At the right size, this would would look extra cool as an external heat sink for a liquid-cooled PC.

As hard drives increase in capacity and decrease in physical size, the pieces of platter remaining after this method contain a sizable amount of data. The only way to truly destroy a hard drive is through pulverisation (all parts of the hard drive smaller than .5mm square and "mixed") or melting. This machine is OK for Unclassified data.

Ask Will Robinson what they are.

Was that your house?
I used to work for UPS.
Thank you.

The night is young and full of possibilities
Well come on and let yourself be free
My love for you, so long than I've been savin'
Tonight was made for me and you

The Ellipsis is my personal favorite.

[citation] (plural ellipses; from Greek ἔλλειψις 'omission') in printing and writing refers to a mark or series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word or a phrase from the original text. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence (aposiopesis).

Funny. A cartoon on someone being wrong on the Internets and all jump in and say "It's Not Me."

I'm glad it's not me.

@24 (GeeksAreMyPeeps)

You are as right as one person can be. Today, you win at the Internets. Excellent Idea!

I would buy that too.

A Place for Everything.
Everything in its place.

There is a place for everything
In earth, or sky, or sea,
Where it may find its proper use,
And of advantage be.

All right folks, move along. Nothing to see here.

This reminds me of the Matrix.

I do hope the 'package' carries measuring advice such as the following:

The angle of dangle is given
By the throb of the knob. It's driven
By the heat of the meat,
As a function discrete:
Get it on, or get off (then get shriven!)

or

The Angle of the dangle
In direct proportion to the heat of the meat
Causes the size of the rise
And the mass of the ass
To remain constant

Also @1 you beat me to it; excellent call.

I too stole these before they got to the Motor Pool. I don't think the guys down there even knew it was published until I PCSed...

I, for one, (metaphysically) embrace reporting on the future. Clicking on gadgets.boingboing will be like a trip "Back to the Future".

I've been getting recycle bags with my Amazon orders. Also the USPS send one, I dropped a couple of Ink-Jet cartridges in it and put it in the out-going mail.

Old cell phones can be recycled for support of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. They will able to use them to call 911, allowing immediate help at the touch of a button.

Said to my self. This would be nice to have; looked up price; e-commerce site said "Our Price: $39,995.00". Perhaps not.

Sorry @Chris I have to jump on the bandwagon too. Rob is a National Treasure. His 'all in the name of science' attitude toward life is so refreshing. Spend some time on his site with your mind open to new things and let the kid inside you out for a little fresh air.

Beautifully described, thank you for sharing.

Call me what you will but I am tired of commenters who are willing to find fault with someone who has their civil liberties abused by this police state. If you don't want nipple rings fine. Don't judge someone who does.

No #8 it isn't her fault.

I had just finished reading this. I'll title it Sexual Harassment and aren't government employees "in trouble" if they do it?

I really feel badly for her. She ended up in tears. These ass-wipes need adult supervision.

I thought the Impossible Missions Force (IMF), were the only ones capable of "disemvowelling any knowledge of our actions".

If it is a parachute, and it is Cooper's, that may solve at least one mystery -- where it was apparently found --

How about:

From a PC World Article: "..."Cybersquatting cases filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) arbitration system increased 20% in 2005 and another 25% in 2006," McAfee writes in its report. "Microsoft says that 'on an average day more than 2,000 domain names are registered that contain Microsoft trademark terms.'"

McAfee's report, titled What's In A Name: The State of Typo-Squatting 2007, details the scope of the problem.

"A typical consumer who misspells a popular URL has a 1 in-14 chance of landing at a typo-squatter site," McAfee writes.

Game sites -- such as miniclip.com and runescape.com -- are the most frequent targets, having a 14% chance of being squatted. Airline sites are next at 11.4%; mainstream media sites like vh1.com and qvc.com are third at 10.8%; dating sites are fourth at 10.2%; and technology and Web 2.0-related sites are fifth at 9.6%.

"These squatter-run sites generate click-through advertising revenues, lure unsuspecting consumers into scams and harvest e-mail addresses to flood users with unwanted e-mail," McAfee states in a press release.

Apple's iPhone is becoming a frequent target of typo-squatting. There could be at least 8,000 URLs registered using the word iPhone by the end of the year, according to an estimate cited by McAfee."

You spin the wheel, you take your chances.....

Quote And, most tellingly, I see increasingly more users already inadvertently put complete domain names like "gmail" and "netflix" into the Search box of their browsers out of habit — and it doesn't even register that Google pops up and they have to click to get to their destination.

If you mispell the URL in the address bar you are sent to a porn site (or other unintended destination). I always type non-bookmarked URLs into the Google search box.

Rectum? Hell we damn near killed her.

"I thought I heard three shots and when we ran next door he was lying on the driveway with gunshot wounds to the head, and he had put the wheelie bin in front of himself," he said.

Mr Skewes said a .22 semi-automatic handgun was in a box next to his body and 'the whole thing looked very strange'. There had been four bullets in the handgun. "

We can only hope he didn't modify the cute puppy's ball throwing machine for the deed.

Will. I don't know if it helps but I watched the kid's school project video about the war, felt depressed and disgusted, and had the same reaction to an otherwise cool little toy.

I don't know what else to say.

This isn't the country I was born in, is it?

The rage I have against the Bush administration is amplified by this film. The story may be told in a cute and funny way, but there isn't anything funny about it.

The horror...the horror.

Damn... Same product Fred & Friends shows the other side.

Note to Self:

1. Research
2. Post Results

In my posting I should add Mr. Harry White designed Fred & Friends cup also.

Fred & Friends came out with a very similar measuring cup some time ago called "Equal Measure".

Don't let Bush know about this.

#11, No. Railway cars and rock walls at glacier parks are on the same end of the scale. Vandalism is vandalism.

But, on the lighter side, too bad he didn't have a chance to finish and add a Creative Commons tag.

Excellent!

I'll bet those folks who call for a ban on toy guns and other weapons will be kicking themselves now. What better use for them than to hide them in little Susie's overnighter and then SCANIT. Come this next Holloween we'll see lots of kids dressed up like TSA goons.

Excellent job detailing the vulnerability. Do I hear the sound of Border Security goons cheering?

Beautiful poem Darue, thanks for posting the link. Anyone caught the History Channel's Life After People?

Excellent #5; perhaps rubbing the spacesuit on parts of the door frame releases the smell.

I guess this would make it:

Graffiti on private property is vandalism. Graffiti on public property is vandalism.
Graffiti in the National Portrait Gallery is art.

Nine readers of BoingBoing have/have had this condition? Does reading BoingBoing cause it?

"People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? Can we stop making it, making it horrible for the older people and the kids?...It’s just not right. It’s not right. It’s not, it’s not going to change anything. We’ll, we’ll get our justice....Please, we can get along here. We all can get along. I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. Let’s try to work it out. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to work it out."

And I second Mark's comments on Fee's analysis; good job, love the "box of fish".

Great, the kids can't "live" without their music and their parents don't have enough sense to tell them to leave them at home. Of course I want to get back to nature and hike along side of someone more interested in Hannah Montana then learning to appreciate the environment they will soon be guardians of.

Outlandish doesn't begin to describe this story. Related stories are on the Web about the Vermont case and a question of self-incrimination. I stopped flying when the Gestapo took over, but ... I gotta' think I would type in a wrong password enough times to lock out the machine.

Just the other day we were talking about the videotelephones at the fair...seems like a long time ago.

I can across a product called WrapNStrap at a Washington, DC Federal Computer Show.

They carry several size straps, one that may suit your small wire needs.

They are also widely available.
