The Future of Cars According to Toyota
Paulrothrock writes "HowStuffWorks has an interesting story about Toyota's concept, um, car, the PM. In addition to seating only one person and having its hubless wheels driven by electric motors, it incorporates wireless networking so that drivers could surrender control to another human-driven PM and relax as someone else drives them to work. And it reclines!"
(The funny thing with this post at least was that the first version read "unite," ruining the joke...)
It's fun having mild dyslexia... took me forever to find out that it was Alex Turing and Turing Machines and not Tur n ing. Plus, I'll occasionally be unable to recognize typos because I'll just automatically "correct" them in my brain.
(Actually, it's more like two thing mapped to one meaning - so something like "descent" and "decent" will be "mapped" to the same value, meaning I can't tell them apart on occasion. Eventually my brain will "flush the cache" and then get it correct, or something like that. Whatever.)
Plus, there are times when the correct spellings of words all of a sudden become "wrong" in my brain. So I'll be trying to figure out how to spell "help" because for some reason it looks wrong to me. ("Cancel" also gets me, because I keep on wanting it to be "cancle," and it takes a while for my brain to accept that "cancel" really is correct.)
Besides, in the future, claim you chose an invalid IP address so that people wouldn't try and, uh, hack it to see what's there. Or something. And when people say "but it's in the private addressing space already" say something about preventing people who don't know that from annoying system administrators.
Uh, not that I've ever had to make that excuse before. Never.
You are in a maze of twisty little relative jumps, all alike.
