I seem to recall hearing that there are cancer clusters among TSA agents who work around the machines, let alone the passengers. These machines don't even detect explosives (which was their intended purpose), and was really just a giveaway to Michael Chertoff.

404, like his knowledge of international affairs, such as Libya?

Now THIS is tech I can get behind. Yes it has a long way to go, but at least it is true 3d imaging, not the lame stereoscopic 2d being foisted on us now.

Don't they say you aren't supposed to expose magnetic media to x-rays at the airport, or am I just thinking about film?

Seriously, these idiots have no clue about the 1st Amendment. If they want to do this, then how about passing a law that makes it illegal for our congressmen to lie? Whether testifying on a bill up for vote, being interviewed on TV, appearing in a town hall meeting, or what they post on their websites, all elected…

This was really Jim Florentine fucking with 911 operators, wasn't it.

Can you imagine if The Lizard had used octopus DNA to regenerate his arm instead of a lizard's? Doc Ock would probably have been a little pissed about it, actually, for stealing his schtick.

So there.

Wired Magazine had an article on thorium-based reactors a couple years ago, very interesting read.

I suspect a single gallon of cooking grease can be refined into many gallons of biodiesel, hence the confusion some are expressing over the cost.

Just as junk faxes cost me money in terms of ink and paper, so do my cellphone minutes! Sign this petition to stop telemarketers from spending YOUR dime on THEIR calls!

Mine is a 1080p DLP with HDMI. Does seem odd that they would implicitly omit such sets, though. Still, I think I'll be trying this out!

Is there a reason why the article states that you need an LCD or Plasma TV? Is there some reason I can't so this with my Mitsubishi rear-projection DLP?

Indeed. Freakazoid, Animaniacs, Pinky & The Brain... awesome sauce.

Soda can at least still be used to hydrate people (provided the caffeine level isn't ridiculous).

Ice cream at least has nutritional value in the dairy products used to make it.

There also need to be theaters that don't allow children under 7 for any movie that isn't Rated G, especially newborns. I came to enjoy a movie, not listen to your squalling sprog.

So you're left with, basically, a head bag.

+10 for the LOLs

Didn't Mythbusters already prove that fireplaces actually cause rooms to become COLDER, due to the convection drawing all the warm air out of the room and up the chimney?
