Nikola Tesla designed the first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara
Falls, New York which started producing electrical power in 1895.
This was the beginning of the electrification of the United States and
the rest of the world. Today, Tesla's AC electricity is lighting and
powering the globe. Nikola Tesla is the genius who lit the world.
Now, the inventor of alternating current has a permanent tribute
overlooking the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls, Canadian side.

Hotel Minibar Key Opens Diebold Voting Machines |
|
 Billosaur writes, "As if Diebold doesn't have enough to worry about! On
the Freedom To Tinker blog, Ed Felten, one of the co-authors of the
recent report 'Security Analysis of the Diebold AccuVote-TS Voting
Machine', reveals an even more bizarre finding related to the initial
report. It turns out that you can gain access to an AccuVote-TS machine
using a hotel minibar key. In fact, the key in question is a
utilitarian type used to open office furniture, electronic equipment,
jukeboxes, and the like. They might as well hand them out like candy."

Wireless Card Hack |
|
|
t's important to make what you have do what you want it to do.
My dell 600m running OSX 10.4.7 wasnt recognizing the intel 2200 wireless card, so I took apart my old linksys WMP54g PCI card to get the broadcom chipset based miniPCI card out of it.
The hard part was desoldering one of the antenna connectors from the Intel card and soldering it on to the Broadcom card. Chances are I'm losing signal because of my ghetto solder, but now OSX sees the miniPCI card as an AirPort card, so it's all good. - Link

SwissMiniGun is proud to present the smallest revolver and ammunition in the world. |
|
|
It's total length does not exceed 5.5 cm.
It shoots 2.34 m/m rim-fire ammunition.
if you ever need to shoot something *really* *really* little, this is your sidearm.
Our Miniature Revolver ref. C1ST is not importable in the United States.
We
have received a letter from the US Department of Justice mentioning
that our Miniature Revolver does not meet with the minimum size
prerequisites referring to the Factoring Criteria For Weapons ATF Form
4590.
Our revolver therefore is classified as not sporting and is not importable.
