On a different but related note I have a relative who, when he inspected a house he was buying would hide items which he wanted to own, then retrieve them after taking the place over.

Wow. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be sure to pay close attention when I go to list my house.

Who do I have to kill to get sharks with fricken lasers on their heads? Throw me a bone here.

Thanks for posting this -- I've always wondered if I needed permission to take pictures of old barns and buildings on private property. So long as you're on public property while taking the photos, then you're good to go.

You need Morning Coffee -- it allows you to have a different set of bookmarks for different days of the week. For example, if you have a webcomic that only updates on M/W/F, then it won't open on T/TH.

Yeah, Facebook is a great way to find out what your friend's top five favorite appliances are. Or even better, what their real name or aura color is! Can we get two times more of that please?

I thought you might be interested to know that we have released a version of URBI for Lego Mindstorms NXT. You can find more information here: http://www.gostai.com/nxt URBI is free, with open source interfaces, and you don't have to change the original firmware to use it. We have a forum also to discuss technical matters here: http://forum.gostai.com/viewforum.php?f=16 Let me know what you think about it, Best Regards, JC Baillie"

Submission + - SpaceX to make second launch attempt today.

Anonymous Coward writes: "SpaceX is set to launch the second demonstration flight of the Falcon 1 at 4pm California time (11pm GMT) today. The webcast will start at T-60 minutes (I assume more than hour before launch due to built in holds).

In the first attempt a year ago this month, the vehicle was destroyed 34 seconds into flight (burning fuel leak). Odd that all pictures and press releases of that launch seem to have dissapeared from the site. Only two videos of the initial liftof, and a small bit in the company Q&A, remain."
