We don't need your "science" around here Mr. Scientist! /sarcasm...

A long time friend had twins about six months ago and the baby room is just on the other side of their utility room where the washer/dryer is. The babies didn't seem to mind the washer/dryer running in the room next to them, but when the buzzer went off they'd wake up every time. So we tore apart both the machines…

I've purchased variety pack of resistors for about $2.50. I then went around opening most of my electronics up and wiring the resistor in between the LED and it's power source. Now the computer's LED power lights are just barely visible in a dark room, instead of lighting up the wall on the opposite side with it's…

You should be able to tell where the sun is and roughly the time of day (morning or evening) and know roughly which way north is from that (sun rises in the east, sets in the west). Living in Alaska I always have a small otterbox in my daypack with all the basics in case of a problem while hiking out in the…

Weird, I just had the opposite thought and wondered what chickens the size of a T Rex would taste like... probably delicious

Ah, I thought it had retired and picked up water skiing.

One of the many things I plan to try with my Raspberry Pi once I get mine. Last update for my shipment was sometime Mid June. Wondering how well it can do as a mini HTPC. It's got some GPIO pins on it as well so if it works okay for HTPC type stuff maybe I'll see if I can't use the GPIO pins to set up some kind of…

Yeah, my friend ordered two of them to check out the feasability of them as super cheap classroom PC's for web browsing and typing up papers. The last update he got said we should be receiving them sometime around mid-June. Really excited to put the thing through it's paces and see what it can and can't do. Having…

I've really been curious about the iron paint/primer that looks like normal paint but can make magnets stick to a normal looking wall. Haven't gotten to see one done yet so I'm curious if it can hold anything up besides a piece of paper (I imagine very little iron content in a couple coats of paint on the wall). I…

I did just that, it's easy and neodymium magnets are fairly cheap off of ebay or Amazon. If you want to keep it looking good take the remote apart and then epoxy a few into the base of the housing for the remote. Works great, and I've used them for tons of other stuff too, I stuck a couple in my dry erase markers so…

Not a big fan of the velcro tape, but I did something very similar using neodymium magnets (AKA rare earth magnets) I had to open up each remote and stick a few small ones into the bottom of each remote with a little epoxy (on the inside so it's not visable there are magnets in it), now they hang from their bottom end…

Fingerprints on my monitor that aren't from me!? Baaaaaastaaaaaaaaards!

...or as a shim under one of the legs of his coffee table.

Thank you! Bilingual internet badass!

Anyone that's lived or traveled much in a desert and doesn't have a couple 5 gallon jugs of water in the trunk is straight crazy...

I figure the easiest way to destroy the internet is to let the American Congress have it's way and release SOPA, PIPA, CISCA and whatever new utterly retarded policy they want to cram down our throats on behalf of the MPAA.

It does make you wonder...

If this is totally out of character for the guy, he might need to get some professional help as something serious might be going on with him. On the other hand if this is par for the course than all we've seen here is another internet douche finally take off the happy mask. I find it hard to see how anyone that can…

I work at a state agency and am constantly being surprised by the number of federal websites that say their software has only been tested on IE6 and that is the only supported web browser. Trying them out I've found most work okay in newer versions of IE, but many of the features or entire parts of the website are…

The bane of my existence. I've tried to explain this to my sisters that when they shoot video with their phone they need to turn it to landscape. Still get video's from my sisters of my nieces and nephews where I have to turn my head sideways to watch. The best part is listening to them complain when they had me…
