Wired How many Wired geeks out there know how to read a barcode? Try out the example to see if you can get the seven digit answer.

Hint: Jenny's phone number.

Why are barcodes so cryptic? Those little graphics found on the packages, composed of straight thin and bold lines, are the universal way to keep track of inventory. It stands to figure that these things have got to be useful, if only you can crack the code. Well, you can.

Nearly all external USB external drives are two things, A hard drive enclosure and a physical drive. Granted it is an assumption on my part, but by opening the enclosure it is feasible to replace the drive with a larger one if it is of the same architecture as the enclosure.

This works in almost all other cases. That is assuming that the drive and the chipset are not integrated in this specific case. A short email to the company would answer your question ;).

George, the difference is that with every vehicle in the system relying on the same logic and decision-making, the hazard of only watching who's ahead of you is made moot. Schools of fish and flocks of birds never have pileups for a reason, and it's primarily lack of random behavior when in proximity.

Wired The Spider Awards: Wired.com’s Arachnid Hall of Fame

If you're afraid of spiders, do NOT click this story. No, seriously. There's lots of spiders here. Giant, creepy ones a foot across. Some are fuzzy and cute as pets. Some have fangs. And beady eyes. Look, we warned you. Wait, what's that on your shoulder? Just kidding. That was mean. C'mon, it's just a spider. But seriously ... spiders.
