Headphone Hack! Make You Own Noise Eliminating Headset! - A funny movie is a click away

So…youve added yourself to the donotcall registry so you’ve gotten less pesky calls from telemarkters. And those that DO call, you tell nicely to stop or else get fined. However…there are those phone bots that just refuse to do that. The best way to keep that from happening, is to trick the bot into thinking that your phone line…is vacant.
If you record the US special information tone signal for “vacant circuit” bots are supposed to mark that number as invalid and stop trying. Of course…there are 2 problems to this. First…human callers who get your answering machine will be kind of confused. Second…ever get those bot messages from the hospital saying that you have an appointment X at X, please confirm? Well…theres a possibility those bots will also be dissuaded from calling. All in all, if you have a pesky bot that calls ALL the time, its worth a shot to just get rid of it once, and then remove the tone.

Thank you artofhacking. Presenting: US Special Information tone signal: Vacant Circuit

Okay, I know that a year ago, I was ready to complain a lot about inkjet printers.  That’s because I had one that ran out of ink after six pages, one that did color OR black and white, but now that I’ve got a nice little 6-ink Epson, I’m happy, it uses ink reasonably, and my photos look really good when printed.

As for the two inkjets I had BEFORE this one, this is what I’d LIKE to do to them.

Seeing how i feel pretty sick today…im home from work, and well…what else is there to do but figure out and find more ways to make dangerous things?
Ya…..
so, here is how you can take a maglite and a dvd burner, combine the two with a bit of tweaking and get yourself a laser on par with a Spyder laser. Check it out on instructables. Keep in mind never to point this thing at ANYone, or even point it where there could possibly be a person. also….don’t point it at an aircraft unless you want the FAA and possibly the FBI after you ;P

Yes, so I’m on lunch break >.<
Who knows what a US copper penny is made of? Well….it used to be copper. Now, its a copper shell with a zinc interior. You can get the copper shell very easily, provided you want to play with some acid. Get a penny and make sure its dated post-1982.
File around the edge to the point where you can see a bit of white (zinc)
Get muriatic acide from your nice, friendly, local hardware store. Its also known as HCL, its used for cleaning concrete.
Drop the penny in a glass bowl of the acide, make sure it doesnt splash, and wear gloves….please. After the bubbles stop forming, pour the acide into a sink, and make sure it doesnt splatter. NEVER add water TO a chemical directly, it can boil. always add chemical TO water.
Rinse the penny shells afterwards, and voila!

Yes, it’s a huge amount of ram.
Yes, I could probably find a use for it somewhere (vid. editing maybe?)
No, I probably couldn’t afford it
No, I don’t have a practical use for it.
