A simple wireless enabled butt plug

We truly do live in an age of wonders.
Any idea where I can order one of these? It's for a friend... Honest.

I have been thinking about blocking Slashdot. I bet even my own productivity would go up.

I can make spelling mistakes on any platform.
Also I used to think Lawyers were the lowest form of life. Now, I know that spelling Nazis are the lowest form of life.

There are plenty of people who can do everything they use a computer for on a tablet. I would guess most of those people are not on /.
For example my mother and sister, both use their computers for email, facebook, a little research, some cheezy games (Solitaire) and that is pretty much it.

All of that can easily be done on a cheep tablet.

Personally I will keep my laptop with a keyboard, but even I do most of my email on my Nexus 7 these days.

That rain water is full of pollution. I suggest in the interest of your safety, you stick with the grain alcohol from now on.

IBM Monochrome Display Adapter, damn young people...
Get off my lawn.
My first IBM compatible, which was my 4th computer, had MDA. Later I upgraded to a Hercules Graphics Card.
Nothing beats MDA, or Hercules, for pure text beauty.

Boo freaking hoo. Adapt.

You are an idiot!
Next time know what you are talking about before you start typing.
From the Canadian mint website. The cost to phase out the penny is 37M, with as saving of 11M a year.
In only 4 years there is a profit.

This is an example of US government stupidity. All they have to do is stop making $1 bills. The rest will take care of itself.
In Canada the banks were told to collect $1 bills and turn them over to the mint. It took about a year for the $1 bill to disappear.

Why the transaction will ALWAYS be in the merchant's favor of course!

I really doubt this will happen. For the 3 to 4 cents you might gain it is just not worth the risk that someone might pull out their phone, calculate it and throw a major fit in your store. Even if no one ever throws a fit, word will get around, (See internet) and people will simply not shop at retailers who do this.
I usually have very little faith in people, but in this case I will tend to believe in honesty.

Did you miss the part where it said purchases would be rounded to the nearest nickle?
As a Canadian I can tell you that the pennies will disappear quickly, because the banks have been told to collect them.
The place I get my morning breakfast has already started rounding to the nearest nickle. My breakfast comes to $3.66 total, and I am always asked for $3.65

I for one, say "About bloody time!"

That's just crazy talk! You need to lay off the drugs.

If only there were some place to search for knowledge. But even if there were, it would be unlikely to contain technical knowledge, or any way to get like minded people in touch with each other.
Sounds like a great idea for a new business. I am sure it would be a real money maker.

Science, genetics specifically, still offers us a little hope of finally leaving superstition behind us.

Have you not seen idiocracy?

It seems much more likely, to me, that the future depicted in that film is our future.

I am spending my time and money buying peoples houses. Spent every penny I have, but on Jan 1/2013 I take possession of 4 houses.
