Inflatable Loudspeakers
fm6 sent in an article running at New Scientist talking about new technology that allows Inflatable Loud Speakers. The technology is apparently patented and there's not a lot of technical details, but I have to say the concept amuses me. And I somehow doubt that this technology will ever be used in high fidelity home systems.
...I'm still waiting for my inflatable shoes.
*HONK*

inflatable that amuses me
Either give it away or get top dollar, but never sell yourself cheap.
It took you 5 minutes to come up with that?
Pathetic!
Inflatable Speaker was beginning

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

ahh
do a google search for bud dwyer and see who he really is.
You can find the new speakers next to Jon Katz's deflated woman, which is next to his penis pump. You see, sometimes he needs that hot air for Slashdot postings.
I feel this qualifies as a troll.

When i was just a little kid @ church camp, i released a balloon with a note attached and someone actually contacted me who picked up the balloon, but i was a lazy little kid and I never wrote them back.
I had forgotten about it until just now, and it makes me a little sad that i didn't complete the circuit.

i took a look at the Newsweek article in your .sig:
Its fucking ethnocentric garbage, language and themes right out of plutocratic propaganda - hardly "excellent" reading, more like "semi-literate nationalist jingoism".
Give yourself a break... the Arabs hate america because its 'free'.. yeah thats it.. they hate your 'democracy'. Sheesh.
the Arabs hate america because its 'free'.. yeah thats it.. they hate your 'democracy'.
If that's what all you took from reading eight carefully researched articles (and one opinion piece), many written by apparently an arab (Fareed Zakaria), then you may consider that proof that you are unable to accept anything that conflicts with your preconceived ideas, and in fact, you will rewrite whatever you read to match what you think it's saying, rather than read what it's actually saying.
You'll note that the articles DO NOT make the US blameless, but it does try to look at the cultural problems.
I think what really bothers you is that it tries to actually find the roots of the problems of the middle east in the middle east itself, rather than just ignorantly and simplistically blaming the US for every single problem.
Considering all the historical perspective present in the series of articles, the cultural history, and the fact that it's not just a one-sided blame-a-thon, I think it's highly probable that the arab that wrote the articles has more of a clue about these things than you do.
I am astounded by how threatened you seem to be by this article ("fucking ethnocentric garbage, language and themes right out of plutocratic propaganda"!?). Just out of curiosity, are you open at all to accepting any information that conflicts with what you "already know"?
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
