Here's one:

I was always told to only roll the windows down enough to pass your license and registration back and forth, at least until the "officer" shows you some legitimate credentials. I've heard of several cases of impostors pulling people over as a means of initiating various crimes.

I just started using these in my engineering notebook at work. Now I use them for EVERYTHING!! They are awesome. I love the smooth action, fine tips, and the no-bleed, no-smear ink. I've got a multicolor set which are great for sketching concepts and whatnot.

Definitely my vote, as well.

How about decals on the sliding glass doors at the supermarket??

Where have I seen this before??

I wonder how hard it would be to retrofit the door with a piece of plexi, add ventilation as others have suggested and perhaps do a couple of long rubber gloves through the plexi, like a sandblasting booth. If you could exhaust to outside, this could work as an indoor paint booth. The only other thing I might add is a…

I'm thinking that when if you double the base (from 2 to 4) you square the capacity. Basically, you raise the capacity to the power of whatever you multiplied the base by; e.g., if you were to just go the base-3, your increasing the base by 3/2, therefore, the capacity, n, would become n^(3/2). Basically, linearly…

A word of caution, some of the newer ovens use a coating which can be damaged by some of the traditional oven cleaning chemicals. Not sure if they are recommending a specific cleaner, the self-clean cycle, or just good old soap and water. I want to say the coating which can be damaged is designed to keep stuff from…

I've also noticed that using fences to Hide Desktop Icons seems to be less resource intensive that using Window's default utility for hiding them. From what I can tell, using Window's default utility to hide icons requires using an "Active Desktop". On several occasions, I've had the "Active Desktop" fail to load…

For the cables, sure. My problem is figuring out which way is up on the port... in my experience it's a toss-up...

I believe there are many materials out there (e.g., Gore-Tex) that, while resistant to water, are quite permeable to water vapor. This repels rain and such while allowing perspiration to still evaporate and "breathe" through the fabric. A wicking layer would most likely aid this as it speeds evaporation by increasing…

Accidentally walked into a courthouse to contest a ticket with this in my bag... A school project... a charge controller for a small wind turbine. Definitely didn't get in with it; I'm just glad they let me keep it so long as I took it out to the car.

Haha! Touche :-D For the record, that is a borrowed photo. DEFINITELY not my wallpaper!

I'm working on one of these:

I have a friend who buys green coffee beans from all over the world and roasts them himself. Sort of a hobby for him, and in the end he gets some pretty high-quality coffee for around $0.20 per 16 oz cup. I think he said he saves upwards of $1300 per year. This doesn't account for his time spent, but it's a hobby for…

I'm not entirely sure, but I think there might be some issues with doing this. If you're like me, you like wool because it can soak up a ton of moisture without feeling wet and it still keeps you warm. This makes it excellent as a winter gear for biking, running, hiking, etc. Now, I know that with other "performance"…

I tried to read the full article...ended up more of a skim. But I never saw anywhere where he talks about consolidating the video output into a single cable. In fact, from the lead photo, I'd say both systems still have separate video output since two displays are being used. If this is the case, would it really save…

I'm a newcomer to Unix, but have already made great use of ssh and scp from the Terminal. Yes, it probably isn't as efficient, but I'm not able to do to much else from the command line, so I get my kicks where I can!!

I believe those prices are per year, not per month. Not sure if that makes any difference to you or not, but it is a point of clarification.
