On my keyboard, the "B" key is much more ambiguous than the 6 (excluding the number pad, of-course).

Did anyone else read the title and think the post would be about some global food recall?

On my screen, with the font slashdot uses for titles (and with my eyes) I can't distinguish i and l.

Yea, that's not fair.

I'm sure there were many people that liked and used Michael Jackson way before Facebook. Nobody ever questioned their sexuality...

I think he was confusing the court system with the nine levels of hell.

I would not recommend this. Last time I tried to put lightning into my vacuum I ended up with a broken vacuum and a $500 bill from the electrician.

At first read, I swear that last sentence said "Ass to the Fire".

I sure hope there's not an app for that.

I'm confused by this comment.

For existing Dish Network subscribers it is an additional $10. This includes streaming and DVDs by mail.

Ignoring blu-ray and games, a comparable Netflix subscription, with the current pricing, would be $7.99 + $7.99 = $15.98. This is already more expensive and doesn't include the $2 that Netflix charges for blu-ray, and whatever value you want to assign to the option of renting games.

The DVD by mail selection is actually pretty similar between Netflix and Blockbuster. Maybe Netflix still has some obscure titles that aren't carried by Blockbuster, but the demographic that are interested in those is pretty small. Blockbuster, on the other hand, has access to the mainstream new-releases much sooner than Netflix.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the value there seems very apparent.

How about a system where the excrement passes through a mesh, or screen if you will, that supplies an electric charge to produce ozone (the system could be gravity fed). Add in a natural way to produce chlorine, and you have a simple system to kill bacteria and other organisms. We can call it the "Poo Screen of Death."

I believe the parent was referring to the PET scan used to determine brain activity.

looks like there have already been other programs designed to do this with itunes radio http://homepage.mac.com/swithers/iblog/C784421780/ E1012504207/ it seems like it should work with more than just the radio since it simply records audio being broadcast to the computer. Is this different is some way?
