Are you saying everyone here signed a model release form?

Don't think so.

Maybe not, if this is what it serves up:

This would be more helpful.

I think the point being'identifiable person'... peviously little heard of astronaut in full space suit takin up 1% of screen... hardly identifiable, but no doubt there's some slavering lawyer willing to take this crap on.

Right.

I'll just leave these here.

Note that I don't really have any problem with violent video games, per se, I just wanted to provide some crystal clear counter examples to your assertion.

I have a (vaguely-defined) threshold for what I consider acceptable, but I won't be out proposing legislation or other censoring measures. Personally, it's more an issue of the overall tone of the game, rather than a body count or how graphic the violence is, that determines whether or not I consider a game appropriate. I'm a big fan of the Half-Life series, (for example) but don't find much enjoyment in Max Payne. (Although that may be as much to do with the gameplay as the violence; I prefer more puzzle-oriented games to the marginally-interactive movie.)

Unless the driver was saying "you know, I couldn't make out the shape at all.. it just looked like -a- green light, and that was good enough for me", of course.

Diffusion, I guess. Snow both attenuates and scatters light.

have you ever been to one of those cities? they don't use the golf carts to go play golf. they drive them up and down the roads. walgreens has tiny parking places for them. they all have tiny garages for them. http://www.worldofstock.com/closeups/TRO1636.php

If you assume normal human speech is about 60dB. We know dB = 10 log(I/I0) where I0 is 10^-12 W/m^2. So 60dB works out to about 10^-6 W/m^2 -- that's a microwatt per square meter. With 100% efficiency and a mike of 1 cm^2 collecting area, that's around 10^-10 W -- 0.1 nano-watts. (Thanks phliar for the calculations.)

Then utilize this energy using recent advances in String Theory, and you have a workable solution.

Here's a picture of a prototype.

I think you put far more effort in to that post than the content of your message warranted.

I'll bet the 'artist' who drew this would contest this patent if he hadn't been dead for 1000s of years!

Start sending those cards.
