Yeah because a sea worthy steamer, scud missile launcher and crude nuclear weapon are so easy to come by. Not saying the smart grid doesn't have other problems but it is far from easy to do serious EMP damage.

Oreos are a symbol of black power and the racist ideals Obama is trying to indoctrinate our wonderful nation with. The pure Aryan nation is represented by clean white filling of the Oreo, with the other less pure races as the hard cookie, squeezing on both sides ever last bit of culture the white man has left. We must rise against and elect Vanilla Wafers as or government cookie. White power! /s

This is probably off topic but it just reminded me something that happened to me as a naive child. I had bought a watch at Kmart a few days earlier, and it had inexplicably stopped working. So I went back into Kmart to get them to fix it. Then the lady there tried to claim that I had a type of blood that prevented the use of all battery powered devices near my arm.

In retrospect she was probably just too lazy to try and fix it. Does something like this actually exist, and if so would it prevent this cell phone blood testing?

Get over yourself, the method doesn't do shit to bittorrent, the most popular p2p format so it's basically useless. If anything this will just get idiots off limewire into onto a decent network.

Ideas are worth absolutely zilch. Any of the 6 billion people on earth can come up with your idea, and probably have. What is valuable is the execution of ideas.

So my advice is to pick one idea that you like and execute on it. You'll probably find out your idea wasn't that good after all and fail. Do this another 10 times or so and you'll finally get one idea that works. Stick with that one. Good luck.

I'm still waiting on the scores of cancer cures that have been promised over the past decade. Talk is cheap.

I tried to order a domain from GoDaddy once, after clicking through six pages of crap addons at checkout I decided the marginal savings wasn't worth it and moved to NameCheap.

Stealing content from a top 10 list kind enough to put their content on 2 pages instead of 10, stay classy slashdot.

Charging higher than market price isn't scammy or illegal. Sure the pirated copies of windows, stealing personal data etc. will get in trouble with the law, but charging $400 for a refurb hard drive is totally legal. If the customer wants to take their business elsewhere that is their choice.

Too soon man, too soon.

The great thing about the internet is that your comment can speak louder. Maybe your comment convinces someone to do a little digging and find out who is helping Iran. After that ten other people, maybe some with even greater spending power than the yourself hear about this and follow suit. These people tell other people and a movement is born, Iran is finally reformed. All because of your comment. Now this is starting to sound like a Hallmark film.

Do you work for the federal government? There was a story on slashdot awhile back about this I think.

128 websites where the internet comes alive. I'll start, #1 lemonparty.org

Switching off-site backups every week is an unnecessary hassle. Back up to an external hard drive and an online backup service. Anything more than that is overkill unless you have really important data.

I think we should just tag this Slashdot post allnightparty. We can all drop e together and contribute to an open source project. You know, what Slashdot admins were doing when they coded the CSS of this site.
