Anyone who says "nobody has been able to fry a liquid before" has never experienced the joy of biting into a chicken mcnugget to be awarded with a mouthful of a scalding hot unidentified pus-like liquid substance.

@Necroscope: I'm not convinced that in the search for possibly dangerous unidentified radar blips, more information is worse than no information at all. In any case I'm all in favor of the military spending a few billion less on creating new war machines and a few billion more on radar system improvements if it will…

@Nudgenudge: Doc Brown 1955 mentioned having to refill the DeLorean's gas and other fluids (along with replacing the tires with those ridiculous looking 1950s whitewalls) which means Doc Brown 1985 had drained the DeLorean before storing it in the mine.

@Necroscope: It's a better idea than a clean energy technology being cockblocked by the military because their radar can't cope with it.

Put an aviation transponder on every turbine. Problem solved, elegantly, with existing technology that's been around for over 50 years, and it's even being used for its intended purpose: to identify things on the radar.

@AcidSpoon: One of the judges wrote a dissenting opinion about that very thing. If your car is on a driveway on your property then you have no expectation of privacy, but if your car is in a garage, behind a fence, electric gate, security officer Pinkerton in his little guard hut, etc. then you have privacy. In other…

About that Slinky...

And for stress testing the hard drive, just boot Windows Vista. The drive activity light will be continuously on for at least an hour.

I'm slow, it took me a bit to get the "pitch perfect" joke. I was expecting to hear auto-tuned Billy Mays or something like that.

@LukeDukem: It turns out that we're both right. I'm right that the T1i *does* have a 640x480 screen. And you're right that it's way better than 230k, because 230k *also* counts the red, green, and blue dots individually.

@LukeDukem: Hold on a second. Why do the T1i specs say "approx. 920,000 dots (VGA)"?

Slow mo 'splosions are 'sposed to be accompanied by a psychedelic Pink Floyd track:

@ding-dang: Six months ago, in the same city (Atlanta) and probably the same college campus (Georgia Tech).

I'm looking forward to someday "upgrading" my entry level D40 by purchasing the latest entry level.

I'd rather look outward at the view than straight down.

@Meh: It breaks the original file into smaller pieces, making it suitable for Usenet posts. Even better is when the user also posts accompanying PAR parity files which can be used to reconstruct any missing or corrupted RAR segments. (They still use PAR files, right? It's been at least 10 years since I've even looked…

@AΨB: Is this excusable? I think not. Like all our relatives and coworkers ignorantly clicking the Forward button to send the latest hoax email to everyone they know without first checking snopes to see if it's even true, the person who got it from usenet immediately puts the RARs up for torrent without first…

First, it needs to be understood that giving priority to something must come at the expense of choking back everything else in a zero sum fashion.

@lbberkeley: Same here. The marketing people at other companies must be smacking their foreheads right now.

@Dr. Nemmo: Funniest thing I've read all day.
