@CowZ: I still have the hd one, and I'd rather use it on the slopes, just in case I go crashy-smashy, then I won't have ruined my iPod touch.

Umm, so much for carrying an ipod in my backpack when skiing.

This is why I'm 100% in favor of mail in ballots. They're not rushing to count them on election day, the oval you color in is who you voted for, etc.

Clarification - this article pertains to CONDUCTION of thermal energy through a vacuum, which was thought impossible. And makes this actually pretty cool. The radiative nature of heat (as in, the Sun radiates energy to us, etc.) is unchanged.

@jeffeb3: *bonk* yeah, guess I deserved that. What I was really wondering was if anyone had more info about it, as in plans and such, and if it was actually useful to them. Then I saw the link to the photo source, so I went there.

What's the box thingy in the photo? Looks useful.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.2: I'm not necessarily talking about SLRs, though I can imagine some outdoors photographers would love a waterproof camera. And I really can't imagine it being that hard, either - put a face sealing o-ring where the lens meets the body, and o-rings at any other leak points.

@digivid: Ohh, I have one of those. But I have to take the battery and memory card out to do anything, and that hatch to get to them is a weakness. I'm talking like truly sealed gadgets. Like an iPhone, straight from factory, that you could drop in a bucket of water, and be totally fine, because THERE'S NO HOLE IN THE…

Can we finally actually have waterproof devices now? We have wireless charging and syncing, so what are we waiting for?

@Lord_Data ∞: Ehh, it's about $80 a month. Not gonna break the bank, but I wish I could get something better for the price.

I'd love to use it, but I'm on a satellite Internet connection, so it would just look awful.

Kraft mac n cheese, with the following additions/substitutions:

I always do my rss reading on a wired or wifi connection, so I don't mind giving them pageviews.

Hmm, I'd actually not mind a week without Internet and all that - catch up on my reading and all that - not to mention the todo list around my house.

@jay13x: That always did bug me.

@wætherman: I wonder if they put a return address on such things. You walk into the local FBI field office, 'Hi, I think you left this on my car.'

What I wonder is what the courts say about removing one of these from your car when you find it, or placing it on another car, etc.

One handy feature of screen (at least in our implementation at work) is that it has a much longer buffer, so that you can look back in its history using the copy mode much further than you can look in a regular terminal. Note - this is me relating my experiences with screen as a non-linux expert.

@freedomweasel: Any brands or sources that you recommend?

@Larry Longtin: Hell yes.
