Indeed. The Shop Vac doesn't have filtration anywhere near what is required for fiberglass particulate. All it likely did was fill the air with whatever the shop vac sucked up.

These are trades are done on a firm's website, with US$ and BTC balances stored on it. It's totally out of the hands of the bitcoin system except for deposits to (and withdrawls from) accounts on the site.

Begun the Clone Wars have.

The FOSS Must Flow!

Sounds just like their stance on PSP modding

"Repurpose" the 3G adapter inside the device? *evilgrin*

Though, to be fair, beyond potential abuses of the system, I think the ability to track traffic patterns in realtime on just about any roadway, and with more granularity than FM-based radio receivers can, is pretty neat. Maybe it would be better if *everyone* had access to general speed data on high-density roadways? (Not individually so as to prevent tracking to-the-home, but the prevailing speeds per street or length of roadway)

Madness.

Or just break out your trusty set of lockpicks?

I know Kung Fu.

World Backup Day immediately precedes April Fools Day... Is someone going around deleting files in the office again? (That or maybe it's the large number of April 1st-activated virii/worms/whatnot, IE Conficker?)

The ARRL has a page set up against HR-607 as well as sample letters. Apparently, if you send them to Chwat & Co (info on previous link(s)), they will hand-deliver it to Congressional office.

Sounds like a router issue on your end. I have no problems whatsoever on a semi-lousy (Canadian) 4-5Mbit aDSL connection with 3 users.

Last.fm has been requiring a subscription in other "less-civilized" countries (for all devices, computers included) like Canada for a while now. $3/month isn't bad for premium services. Additionally, Pandora won't even show us Canadians their home page, let alone stream music to us.

I'd rather pay $3 to have music than try to search around for stuff I want.

I'd imagine airborne Prii (Priuses) are just as, if not more lethal. Some things were just not meant to fly.

No, it's just a statistical improbability. There was a story on FARK once about someone who came out of the mall, unlocked a car that looked identical to hers, and drove it home.

IIRC, about halfway home, she realized it wasn't hers, and took it back. In the meantime, the other woman had called police. I don't think charges were laid because it was an honest mistake.
