Gentoo Installing USB Scanner - HOWTO     #>


Nucleus, pretty fun for a simple Flash game.     #>


Muppet Fan Halloween Parade 2004. Hmm, I think I could whip up a Beaker costume pretty quick...     #>


After Terror, a Secret Rewriting of Military Law     #>


Jon Steward on C-SPAN. He was on the Oct 23rd edition of "American Perspecive", you can listen to it from the link.     #>


This is great. It's a Japanese movie (mpeg), but watch her hands closely and you might be able to get it yourself: how to fold a shirt.     #>


High Prices, a really well-written article on the costs of drugs in America.     #>


Broken: "Walk" signal visibility, a combination of bad city planning and contractors (or just construction workers) who can't or won't challenge their managers.     #>


Shelf Life of Food     #>


Awesome: Name That Game Audio Challenge. Using Flash they'll give you audio clips, you have to pick the 80's game that it went to.     #>


Subtle Safety Ring. Nifty, brass knuckles in a compact form. Try getting that on an airplane and see what happens. (Probably nothing, they are too busy waiting for you to take off your shoes...)     #>


Sandisk Introduces Mobilemate Readers. Wow, tiny.     #>


Consumer Confidence Falls on Job Worries. Wait, wait, those tax cuts were supposed to stimulate the economy and provide all kinds of jobs. And we've been told over and over that they worked, so what's this?     #>


What we will soon have, maybe. I saw the ability to buy new SIM cards in Korea and Australia, we are so far behind here in the US...     #>


Verizon Motorola V710 Review. One of the things he doesn't mention is the button layout. I looked at one of these phones at Best Buy and that middle row of number keys looks more like an afterthought (or as Paul put it "neat, you have a 30% chance of hitting the wrong key when aiming for 2, 5, or 8".)     #>
