Mid-Air Messages To Your Mobile

Posted by timothy on from the where-are-you dept.

wilfie writes "Mid-air messages are content for delivery to handheld devices which is relevant to the user's current location. A serious trial of a system for delivering mid-air messages is to be financed by the UK government in the City of Bristol, according to an article on the BBC website. The article refers to the Annotate Space project doing something similar in New York. The Bristol scheme looks like being a guide for tourists, but what other kinds of content would we welcome, and what would we not? Would we even be willing to pay for it?"

    Please.

    anti-smoking bubbles near stores -- I don't have a problem with this at all. Smoking is disgusting, and if this is a way to eliminate smoking from public areas, so much the better.

    anti-meat bubbles near markets -- As a practicing vegetarian, I can't really say I have a problem with this either. No meat == good health, it's simply a fact at this point. I have a right to a meat free area, if I so choose at my own establishment.

    anti-fur near malls -- You seal clubbing bastard! Seriously. What could anyone possibly want to do with fur? There is not one reason to have fur anywhere - it should be against the law! Since it unfortunately isn't, I don't see a real problem with evoking some guilt from the mega wealthy murderers who wear fur.

    I think this could be a great idea, if implemented correctly. You are simply misguided.

    YourMissionForToday's note: On this fine Troll Tuesday, I got out of work early and on my drive home, I made up this catchy tune. It's dedicated to The_Messenger, whose unflinching vigilance against the twin demons of Cheap Software and GNU/Communism has been an inspiration to us all. Posts like this remind one that trolling is still, even in these dismal times, the most hilarious and clever activity that goes on at Slashdot.

    Now let us raise our voices in song as we dedicate this day to a trolling legend. Mr. The_Messenger, we salute you!

    Happy Troll Tuesday!

    Posting The First aka YourMissionForToday theme song

    To the Tune of Henry The Eighth (Herman?s Hermits)

    I?m posting the first I am
    Posting the first I am I am
    I got FP in the story before
    I?ve been modded many times before

    And every time by an imbecile (IMBECILE!)
    Usin? words like VAXen and GNU (FUCK GNU!)
    Cause they hate to stop their circle jerks
    To hear me say FUCK YOU! (FUCK GNU!)

    Second Verse is Different than the first:

    I?m YourMissionForToday I am
    Two posts a day is where I stand
    Can?t leave my wit at a high threshold
    Cause I post links to a certain hole

    I get modded down due to jealousy (JEALOUSY!)
    'Coz they wouldn't know wit from their ass! (FUCK THAT!)
    I bathe, I can spell, and I?m employed!
    I?m YourMissionForToday I am!
