Apparently you haven't seen Z-Axis tape yet.

The tape in action

I dare them to take their scheme to the streets and fairly find 1000 people that can get them right.

Pfft. Disregard this, obviously I didn't read the full summary.

But in other news, "middling" is the new "good".

The "downside" is that even though battery life is improved, it's still terrible.

Bah, where did my mod points go?

I have access to both a MFC-7840W and a MFC-9325CW. The former worked perfectly under Linux (network print *and* scan) until I installed the drivers for the latter. Now whenever I try to print to the 7840W the printer disappears from Zeroconf temporarily, causing CUPS to error out. USB printing still works on it though. Maybe I'll get around to reinstalling the driver eventually...

And the latter has a feature that I affectionately name "Manual Misfeed": unless you are *absolutely precise* about the positioning and angle of a manually-fed page, it will "jam" until you open it, close it, and wait a minute for the printer to warm up for the fifteenth time in a row.

This is neither news nor does it matter. You should consider changing the site's tagline to "We'll post anything!".

You can create a pink LED by putting some fluorescent material in a blue or white LED. The problem is that some of the materials used for them are not stable, and will break down within a matter of weeks to months.

"Securing The X Window System With SELinux"

PARANOIA ALERT: SELinux was created by the NSA. Not that that will stop me from using it; the NSA cares far less about my systems than some random cybercriminal.

All the price drop in the world can't fix the fact that it's Windows Phone. They could offer a free Lamborghini with each phone and that still wouldn't fix it.

Remove one song from each MoS album from the Spotify library, and go tell MoS to stick it where the sun don't shine.
