How about this guy. It looks like a little more power than it takes to run a watch.

Also my dad was telling me about how when he worked in a radar stating in the airforce. If you pointed the range finder antenna downtown you could light up the arc sodium lamps.

It's really not that great of a technical challenge to make a car that flies. The real challenge is the infrastructure. For the flying car to become the norm, you need a system where your average reasonably un-trained person can operate the thing safely.. And really the only way to do that is to make it fully autonomous. Also you'll have lots of issues with keeping the traffic out of the way of general and commercial aviaton.

It isn't going to happen any time soon, no matter what that crackpot Moller has to say about it.

Especially, there was an article showing that objective estimation of development times is mathematically impossible:

Hehe. Might make you a tad obvious when you walk through the body imaging sensor at the airport, bus, train station, school, shopping mall, sports event, amusement park, etc.

Face it, you will be scanned, identified, and monitored: http://www.millivision.com/products.html

Not as big as this easter egg.

It's no integrated case, but I like it. Maybe someday I'll make a case - I like the idea.

Wish I had some of that money.

So what happens if you just leave all the kiosks offline and give them all a copy of the master voter registration db? Now you've opened yourself up to voter fraud: you could go from kiosk to kiosk, casting multiple ballots as yourself.

I remember an image of the day at The Cellar Honduras prevents voting fraud which might solve this problem. Actually, the problem it solves occurs today in many elections. This biggest problem with it, the people who are going to whine about the mess. It will probably take a massive scandal before Joe Citizen would be willing to agree to this.

I remember reading one of the Dilbert books, Is your computer safe from hackers? where it said that marketing will continue to become more and more manipulative Make money with your website! as it builds upon the shoulders of already tried marketing schemes.

I just wonder how long before Specials on Ink Jet refill kits! they start putting ads Long Distance for just 1c per minute! in the middle Spy on your neighbors! of all web content?

Rumor has it that AMD intends to begin advertising a dual-purpose "egg frying" processor shortly.

You mean with cellphones like this?

there is only so many times in a day you can "go make coffee" or "check your email".

Lucas's desire to ride the wave of merchandising income driven by the sheer inertia of the franchise.

Merchandizing like this?

In the Philly area, what is now Voicenet was originally a files-n-pr0n BBS back in the day. The gent who ran it was a serious hobbyist. His system grew to something like 50 lines. Nowadays, with T1s leading into Ascend boxen, managed by a single Radius server, 50 lines is not unthinkable. But hobbyists back then knew nothing of Unix. So 50 lines meant that he had 50 386s! And no rack mounting... these were on cheap bent-metal racking with scores of wall warts for the modems! I think it was all in his garage or something.

I heard that the guy was astounded out of his gourd to see one of the first SLIP-oriented ISPs set up correctly with those same 50 lines run from two Sun pizza boxes.

(My own BBS lives on in the form of a web community. The Cellar, est. 1990. The IotD in my sig is just a part of it.)
