Quicktime is, in my book, pretty darned close to being a virus- it's invasive and always trying to hijack settings from other, better applications. It's a...
Many churches have members who are more than willing to volunteer to help out with repairs around the church. I wonder if that electrocution was a result of...
I suspect you are correct. This could have even been something as simple as a broken ground prong or use of one of those "cheaters" used to plug a grounded...
On the other hand, someone did die so maybe we should be a little respectful in our humor. Piggy-backing this on my prior post of sorcerers being "pure mad...
I think it was the Creator making an un-obfuscated statement that She/He/It felt unkindly towards the dude. But, of course, a faulty/hot ground wire helps a...
... Well, in New Orleans, we know that the strip clubs on Bourbon St. were amongst the very first businesses to re-open (the girls entertained the soldiers and...
... True. It does distress me that "action" to them meant "words". ... Good point. Quite a few sci fi stories in the last few years have touched on aspects of...

From Hackaday, more info on those hidden laser printer tracking codes printed in yellow dots each time you print. The EFF has compiled a list of printers that...
Do black/white laserjet Printers like hp laserjet 1200 series do the same as far as some coding id scheme as far as dots with identification? Steve Greenfield...
