as an admirer only, this is. still. amazing. Very cool.

Another nuclear gripe: USA spent over $13 billion to the state of Nevada to build underground nuclear waste repository in Yucca Mountain. After happily receiving all that money, Nevada decided to NOT allow it to be used for nuclear storage. The feds should make them repay it. People gripe about the bridge to…

Yes! Another human that "gets it"! John Stossel did a piece about Risk a few decades back that should be required learning to be a citizen of the USA. It was along the lines of what you just said. People are afraid of the boogeyman, who has yet to kill anybody, but they don't give a second thought to hopping in…

and this one boots windows, with tools.

The Ultimate Boot CD has been a system saver for me and friends many times through the years. Bootable CD with many various rescue tools on it. I wonder if this could fit on a USB?

we have a winner!

wow, i completely forgot about slashdot. probably about the time i started frequenting gizmodo and lifehacker... gonna hafta go check it out again...

Just as the scientists predicted, we are beginning to see the signs of Oceanic Deathing. This is caused by humans, surfing the internet. If you look at the hockey stick graph you'll see that the Deathing began to increase exponentially in the last decade. Please listen to Senator Kerry : stop surfing the internet…

because of this sentence from TechCrunch: "... they are looking to build a "premium groups" feature for intra-group sharing, where users can browse live shares from others in a realtime, collaborative environment."

"Don't try to uninstall the keylogger..." ha, sounds like experience speaking! Big brother is always watching.

they recently added that feature!

Yes, that was very funny. This mod is awesome. Apple has just found yet another way to continue the mad sales - this should be in EVERY car. The car companies come up with $3,000 solutions for very clunky nav/screens in the dash. Along comes apple with a $600 solution that is awesome. Wow, which car company will…

Perhaps lame games are their way of not selling too many at launch. A slow start will help them work the kinks out of the system before they build/sell too many. Maybe the game companies are paying them a premium for the privilege of being a launch game title. If Nintendo had a Mario title at launch, the other…

wow that is the weirdest combination of creativity and bizarro action i've ever seen. They should have this thing challenge the Terminator(s), this thing would win for sure.

yep, thats what i do, and what i thought the article was going to tell us to do...

wow that is excellent. thanks for the link. In general, whenever i have an idea, i google for it, and most of the time someone has already invented it. Maybe that is a topic for an article - 99.999% of all your ideas have already been done.

@matthew5384: cool. i keep "finding" stuff i had no idea was in here. pretty impressive, although i likely will never have a use for it.

@Big Sarge: weird that it keeps putting .... in place of the word "some" but if you still care to see it you can find it on the front page of TED and it is usually on the right hand side "Neil Pasricha The 3 A's of Awesome" [www.ted.com]
