X-rays are ionizing radiation, due to their relatively short wavelength and high frequency (relative to other forms of EM radiation). There is no radiation that is both in the x-ray portion of the spectrum and is non-ionizing.

Michael Chertoff doesn't get his kickbacks from those things.

If you go through with one in your pocket, it'll show up on the imaging. The dose from the body scanners is probably small, but ionizing radiation is cumulative. The only way to get a good idea of how radiation you're getting is to wear it several times through the body scanner. But, when they see it on the scan,…

You know the only reason we have the full body scanners is because former secretary of DHS Michael Chertoff is in bed with Rapiscan, right? The scanners are not operated by radiation technologists (like the x-ray machines in hospitals), there is no assurance of calibration of the machines, there is no assurance of…

Can you opt to only get casual data rates? I.e. no data plan? That way you pay $10 per GB no matter how much you use. The only data plan better than that is the $80/10 GB...but the people using 10 GB on their phone have the be in the smallest minority.

Are you trying to blow us all to shit, Sherlock?

If you get too close to that computer, it'll snake out some cables and turn you into a robot...just like poor Vera from Superman 3! Damn, it's saying the youtube video isn't available. :P

I love Wing! She frickin' rocks! And she is actually available on iTunes!

I thought a Pope's Nose was part of a chicken.

I'm glad she survived. That being said, this whole thing is gonna make for a very awkward Thanksgiving.

The Donald is thrilled by this news.

It played automatically the first time you turned on the TV. Unfortunately, no one could figure out how to turn on the TV without the video, on account of the secret compartment for the remote. So, this being the 60's and all, they just grabbed the hookah everyone kept by the TV and blazed up.

If you press the button on the bottom left, Superman's mom pops out of the floor and starts a long speech. Then you lose your powers and some redneck breaks your nose in a greasy spoon diner. It's not worth it. Trust me, just don't touch that button.

I think I'll take a couple of those PolarMax TransDry Cotton Shirts. They look interesting. I wonder if the picture is the nipple attachment.

When I want to strip out a lot of formatting from an excel file, I'll copy it to the clipboard, paste it into Notepad++, then copy/paste it back to a blank workbook in excel.

Well done.

Came in here to note this as well. I know it's a republished article from MaximumPC, but still...there should be a little bit of proofing going on.

Okay, I laughed.

"Luckily, the new rules won't affect private boats—so feel free to sail out into international waters and have a build your own sundae party with as many obese friends as you want."

I've played around with it for a few minutes and I mostly like it. The one thing I don't like is that it keeps an "ongoing" notification in the notifications bar, but I'm aware that this is a limitation that Android has placed on apps...any app being run in the foreground must have the ongoing notification. I've…
