Install a bootable ISO to a flash drive.

As if the interweb was slapping me in the face, the next search string
on Google yielded me this little diddy

https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/

Basically lets you boot any iso from your flash drive without
destroying data currently on the drive. Wonderbar!

Bootable Flash Drives

Why on earth is it so difficult to make a flash drive bootable?
Wouldn't it just make sense to build the functionality into Windows?
You can already do it with floppies.

Back to Ubuntu

While Windows 7 did fully recover from whatever crash it incurred
albeit in Safe-mode, I can't have that kind of downtime on my
diagnostic machine again (12 hours while it repaired). For this reason
I'm switching back to the friendlier Ubuntu NBR. It appears that my
701 will NOT run Moblin because of a missing PAE instruction on the
processor. Oh well.

Slide to Unlock Panties

Don't Click It!

Incredible design. Only a single mouse click needed to launch into the
full interface of this website. Lots of content navigated with only
mouse overs.

Jeebus.

Torrents.
Tipjoy.

New economic model?

What if a company only had to seed a game once or twice a month.
What if users paid based on how often they played a game rather than for the game? What if this time played had a cap?

We'd get higher quality games with more content.

Pay to play subscriptions... it's working for World of Warcraft. Why not consoles?

Neat Shelf System

These shelves would look fairly neat anywhere you put them, and as an
added bonus you could play plinko with them.

Diet Soda Contains Aspartame

Aspartame is 180 times sweeter than sugar, and some animal research has linked consumption of high amounts of the sweetener to brain tumors and lymphoma in rodents. The FDA maintains that the sweetener is safe, but reported side effects include dizziness, headaches, diarrhea, memory loss, and mood changes. Bottom line: Diet soda does you no good, and it might just be doing you wrong.

GM following Shai Agassi's lead

http://www.businessgreen.com/business-green/news/2240096/struggling-gm-turns-segway


Looks like GM is teaming up with Segway to make an electric car network. 

Funny, this whole article reeks of ideas from Shai's speech at the TED conference.

Well, good for you GM. I guess when changing the world for the better it doesn't really matter who gets the credit in the end.
