He appears to have attempted to hack into important computer systems in different parts of the world, an investigator close to the case said. The boy is suspected of trying to hack into the NASA computer network and an RCMP Web site. Companies in Norway are also interested in the 16-year-old's activities, police say.

Testing of hairspray spud guns revealed they can develop no more than 10-20 PSI chamber pressure. Most are built from schedule 40 PVC pipe. 3" PVC pipe has a burst pressure of 260 PSI. People have suggested using other fuels to boost pressures higher, however this is much to dangerous. More volatile fuels can be very unpredictable and create pressures that would shatter the PVC pipe. Compressed air can be regulated to exact pressures making it an excellent propellant. The trick is releasing a large volume of air at once to launch the projectile.

Every now and then I spend a moment and try to figure out a new, cooler way to launch potatoes. It sounds like a pointless venture, but it keeps me out of trouble (sometimes), plus it is just plain fun to accelerate a potato to velocities near that of cound in air!

Why not just stay home and sleep? Your bed is warm, and nobody can bother you. You can't be frustrated with trying to do anything cool, because you never attempted anything to begin with.
Sleep 18 hours a day if you can get away with it. Sleep anywhere where you know you will not get sodomized. You know you don't have to be social if your eyes are closed. I have learned that if people think you're sleeping, they won't try to talk to you.

An Arizona state legislator next week will introduce a bill that seeks to ban the sale or manufacture of Pentium III processors in the state because of complaints that a security feature in the chips could threaten personal privacy.
The chips "can't be sold at all" under the proposed bill, said State Rep. Steve May, a Republican who will introduce the bill next week. "We want Intel to wake up and recognize that it needs to be careful with privacy issues."
The bill would ban chips using a serial number identification scheme, as well as computers containing chips with serial numbers. State and government agencies would also be prevented from buying computers or processors containing the serial numbers.

You know you've been hacking too long when...
...you're hacking on a project late at night, you are trying to get at some munchies, and you are having problems opening them (fingers stay in keyboard mode) and you think: Finger: Error, cannot open chocolate_bar.
You know you've been hacking too long when...
...you start dreaming code.

Ninety percent of males possess penises between 5" and 7.5" when erect. The average erect size is 6.25" long and 1.5" in diameter. When flaccid, ninety percent of men are 3.3" to 4.4" in length.

The proper method of measuring the penis is to extend a ruler from the pubic bone at the topside of the penis to the tip. Never, ever get caught doing this ... it's better to be caught with a Spankie!

The Bumper Dumper is great to have anywhere you go. No other portable toilet can compare to the support, stability and comfort that the Bumper Dumper offers. The frame is made from quality steel and comes with a standard size toilet seat. It's the only portable toilet you can use your own seat on. Almost any standard size toilet seat can be mounted to the frame so you can attach a padded seat or the favorite seat of your choice. The Bumper Dumper will last a long long time and it's light weight and so easy to use. If you have a trailer hitch receiver and travel or engage in outdoor activities where restrooms are far and in between the Bumper Dumper is a must have item. Makes a great gift too.

"It can run on ethanol - which is vodka. It will run longer on something strong, but we are using a water/ethanol mix that is equivalent to windshield wiper fluid," Robert Hockaday, the company's chief fuel cell scientist, told Reuters.
"You could screw the fuel cell into one of those little shot bottles, but then we would have a liability problem - people would be trying to drink their phones," he added.

It's not quite so easy to explain the appeal of wearing something inflatable, but I would say that to add to the tactile qualities of the material, an inflatable outfit will squeeze you all over, and even offer a degree of restraint, which can be exciting in itself. Inflatable hoods have the additional property of muffling sound, and sometimes restricting vision, thus cutting you off from the outside world.

RTIME’s patent (U.S. #5,841,980) is comprised of 54 individual claims that cover several facets of distributed, interactive communication systems. Some of these include realtime data filtering, whereby only relevant data is distributed to each interested party. Relevance can be based on object location, type, priority, or data rate. Additionally, RTIME has received protection for its unique global timebase that keeps disparate users synchronized within milliseconds to overcome high and varying network latency. The patent covers both single-server systems, which are predominant in small-scale applications supporting 8-32 concurrent users, as well as multi-server systems that support hundreds or thousands of concurrent users.

The surgical management of two patients presenting with incarcerated, apparently self-inserted foreign bodies is reported. The large volume of prior literature on this subject is reviewed, with tabulation of 182 previous cases by type and number of objects recovered and with a discussion of patients' age distribution, history, complications and prognosis.
