But for some reason the deaf, dumb, and blind kid at the helm just won’t listen to what the people want…

Couldn’t stand the fireworks any longer. Took the new one the other day while melting the ice out of the freezer compartment of the fridge.

Decided to make them available so if anyone wants them here they are:

Trains

Fireworks

Ice

Enjoy!

Treehugger: New Hope Electric Bike Conversion Kit

—

Hoping that these and kits like them become more available here in the us. The link at Treehugger goes to the manufacturer in China which only sells wholesale in containers of 300 pieces. Interesting product thought. Someone in comments said they have been showing up on Ebay in single piece lots. Gonna have to check.

Boing Boing: MSFT acquires spyware firm, changes antispyware app to ignore its products

—

I gotta wonder about people and companies that continue to support a corporation that is so big that it has no idea what all it’s divisions are doing.

Or I suspect that this is the work of some isolated group within the megasauar rather than an overall desire by the powers than be to once again be castigated and badmouthed by the blogsphere.

On the other hand it is Microsoft and from some of his recent public faux pas Steve Balimer Ballmer may just be as stupid as he sounds.

Maybe it’s just me but this article seems to be disjointed and needs a bit more info or links to flesh it out. And that paragraph at the end feels like it was just kinda stuck on cause it had no place else to go…

Or I may just have gas today…

I want to see what kind of motor they are using. Rare earth magnets and Oxygen free copper wiring to start off with at the least.

25 watts to achieve 30 mph. Thats less than a watt a mile per hour…

US aims Star Trek ray guns at nuclear sites – vnunet.com

I gotta wonder what type of material it will take to shield against this. Shouldn’t take much.

The first thing that came to mind was the French sound weapon from the mid 60’s. Would work fine till some dampening material was added to the subjects and then no effects.

Not sure what it would take to shield against 95Ghz.

From the site:
“ADT emits a 95GHz non-ionizing electromagnetic beam of energy that penetrates approximately 1/64 of an inch into human skin tissue, where nerve receptors are concentrated.”

Seems to me that the old tin foil hat trick should work fine. Or a body suit impregnated with graphite or metal power. Be interesting to see how long it takes to defeat this “Star Trek Weapon”.
