I thought they were mouse ears.

"If only we had some way to lift it back on its wheels. Like, a crane maybe..."

Apparently his insurance isn't covering her lifestyle.

Very cool. Reminds me of Peter Gabriel's Secret World, which came out around the same time as "Us". I have a copy somewhere - I wonder if it'll run under modern Windows.

I thought one of the primary functions of LRAD was to induce dizziness and disorientation? Just the sort of thing you want behind the wheel or a speeding vehicle.

The key area that's missing - at least from my perspective - is encryption. What are folks using to automatically encrypt and decrypt all or part of their repository and share encryption keys for certain areas?

As Steve Jobs would have said, "You're holding it wrong."

A remarkably detailed sculpture for a prank, but the piercing they used to attach the chain brings tears to my eyes.

All it needs is a cameo by Danny Trejo.

Is that because you can't afford a radio to hear the closure notices? ;)

Oh, and the best part? TxDoT started spraying de-icing material on the area bridges yesterday morning, but neglected to warn drivers that the de-icing material itself is slippery. The result: a dozen or more wrecks before Snowmageddon even arrived!

Indeed, I recently upgraded to an iPhone 5S, and bought a six-foot Lightning cable from a reputable accessory manufacturer. It would charge just fine from a wall-wart, or from my Thinkpad's always-on USB port if the laptop was shut down or suspended, or from my Ideapad if it was sitting at the BIOS screen, but it…

Oh, please, taxes on winnings have been around since before Obama was in diapers.

Sorry I missed it - sounds like even more fun than the wet event at TWS last year.

My old RX-3 had a different transmission and final drive, so the speedo was way off. But the mph scale read exactly half the correct speed in km/h, so as long as I knew the speed limit in klicks, the math was simple.
