The whole engine gets hot if you drive long enough. You can tuck things (on older V8s with roomier engines) on top of the intake under the air cleaner housing and it will get warm enough to cook some things. You're right, putting things on top of the decorative heat shield of a modern car won't do as much -- but still, you could wrap some hot dogs in foil and they'd cook enough after a while, even in a modern car.

The canonical tome on the matter was first written 25 years ago and has been revised twice since.

Comment Re:UPS (Score 1) 236

I've had the opposite experience. I just get basic APC UPSs and I've never had one cause me a moment's trouble. I can't say I WOULD have lost data if I HADN'T had them, but it HAS saved me the bother of having all my machines unexpectedly do a hard shutoff when the power dips for a second. You just have to test on occasion and replace batteries as needed because they WILL fail silently -- if the battery is dead, you won't know until the power goes out and your machine goes down.

Comment Boycott Bennett! (Score 5, Insightful) 246

Slashdot by now has OBVIOUSLY seen how much we don't like this guy. The fact that they keep posting him means they're just trolling us, or going for pageviews, or both. Or maybe Bennett has some kind of deal with the site, or has something on one of the editors. Whatever. I don't care. From now on, NO ONE post any comments on one of his stories. Not even to say how much you hate his stories. This will be my last comment on one of his stories. Hope this takes!
