This tablesaw detects static electricity when a person comes in contact with the blade, and retracts it within 5 milliseconds. The site is under a bit of pressure at the moment, so watch a video on YouTube if the onsite ones are slow.
ElectricNews.net: Sky Ireland deputy managing director Mark Deering said the company was “actively looking for opportunities” to launch a broadband service in Ireland, “but different market dynamics in the Republic meant BSkyB’s business plan had to be modified.”
Obviously “modified” is a typo. What they meant to say is “discarded”.
Listen lads, if ye don’t want us over there, just tell us. I’m not sure I want to visit what’s slowly but surely becoming a fascist dictatorship anyway. Open your eyes America!
Washington Post: The federal government disclosed details yesterday of a border-security program to screen all people who enter and leave the United States, create a terrorism risk profile of each individual and retain that information for up to 40 years.
Prime Minister Blair’s call for a habit ban echoes remarks made earlier this year by House of Commons leader Jack Straw, who asked that nuns visiting him in his office should remove their habits, arguing that the habits made communication more difficult.

Since Tom has posted about our lovely new genny, I guess the worst-kept secret in the People’s Republic is out: yes, we’re currently developing a big shiny data centre in Cork, with rafts of blinkenlights and big screens and long-haired grumpy feckers running around ranting about how annoying customers are.
Well, it won’t be that shiny, and we’ll have to work hard to get the blinkenlights up to “raft” level, but it will be big, and there’ll definitely be big screens and grumpy feckers from day one. Have been grumpy feckers since day one, since I’m one of them, and the other is often referred to directly as The Grumpy Fecker.
We’re just installing a blog on the CIX website now, and myself and Tom will be blogging the development from start to finish. I hope ye’ll sing along with us as we go!
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work I go!
A mock-up of a plane crash is displayed as part of a Halloween display in the garden of a home in Los Angeles October 20, 2006. Los Angeles police visited the scene after thinking the crash was real. The homeowner is an aircraft mechanic in training and the parts are from a real Gulfstream jet.
Great flash compendium of animations a b3ta regular has posted on the site. Some of them are ick, some are boring, but most are wonderfully inventive and the whole thing is utterly fascinating.
