  1. Re:Real-life application? on Autonomous Race Cars · · Score: 1

    YES! The automatic tail gator. Set the c/c to 85, and when that slow guy (doing just over the speed limit) doesn't move, your car will hold pace 5 feet from him. It's responce time will even be quick enogh to slow you down when they slam on the brakes or down shift. This is every speeders dream!

  2. Re:Auto Autopilots inevitable on Autonomous Race Cars · · Score: 1

    Yes we do, and if they ever finish 59, I might have an easy trip to school. And to keep it on topic, I would be the fist in line to get a car that drives itself. We have all the pieces, (power stearing / brakes, cuise control, gps, sonar/radar) we just need someone to put them together, and work out a system to plan the routs around eachother.

  3. Re:What the... on Star Wars Episode II DVD Release on Nov. 12 · · Score: 1

    I saw it too, then I noticed that it was from doubleclick. That's ok w/ me because I block their cookies, and I know slashdot has to pay the bills somehow.

    here is a link to a picture of Natalie Portman when she was 4.

  5. Re:HI!!! on Sony-Ericsson Starts US$5M Astroturf Campaign · · Score: 1

    And they have amazing forsite. With a UID like 45548, they must have made the account years ago.

  6. Re:How gullible are you people on Using Your Computer to Repel Pests · · Score: 1

    I heard about this a while back, except it was a radio station braudcasting it. Basicaly, most bites are from pregnate females, so if you play the male mating call, the pregnate females stay away.

  7. Re:BOOT DISK on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 1

    It is my understanding that those faster ones take an IDE spot, and are not "really" a floppy replacement. Also, the original oned, that failed, were just as slow as a standard floppy.

  8. Re:screenshots on nVidia NV3x Sneak Peek · · Score: 1

    if only I had mod points... +1 Funny

  9. Re:Uhh Great But.. on Motorola's i95cl · · Score: 1

    Yes, but you would have to move to any place in the world outside of the US. Gotta love how we like to make our own standards.

    informative? that's funnier than the post...

  12. Re:A few observations.. on NYT Discovers the Panopticon · · Score: 1

    A lot of the info is made public for you. i.e. States putting marage records or any other "public information" on the net.

  13. Re:Legal Consequences? on WebTV/MSNTV Virus Dials 911 · · Score: 1

    from what I've read, this is an old hack. If it wan't guarded against, then MS was neglagent.

  14. Re:This is serious on WebTV/MSNTV Virus Dials 911 · · Score: 1

    Don't you usualy have to dial a 1 before the 411? as in 1-411. that would make it 4 didgits.

  15. Re:Attention Mod... on Ogg Vorbis 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Office is not bundled with new computers, Works is. If you want your new computer to have office, you have to pay extra.

  16. Re:Thanks? on 100th Anniversary of Air Conditioning · · Score: 1

    What amazes me most is how Americans have begun to view air conditioning as a "necessity". Are we insane?

    You've never spent a summer in Houston have you? Tempratures in the high 90's and 80+% humidity make for some very uncomforable living conditions. If it wan't for AC, we'd all be sweaty and smell just wonderful.

  17. Re:Karma info loss on Weta Digital's Render Farm Upgrade · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ok, I give, how did you know the address of my user info? ;)

  18. Re:"CRAP-Free Independant Music Labels" on Carp-Free Independent Music Labels · · Score: 1

    No, but I was wondering what a large, bony, bottom feeding fish had to do with music labels.

  19. Re:wk2 still has a lot of life left. on Windows 2000 - Nine Months to Live · · Score: 1

    How do they stop then from installing 2k? Stop selling it to them. It the manufacturers don't have any licenes, they can't install it.

  20. Re:25 Hours? on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 1

    the metacrawl sounds plauseable, although, I am too young to really know what it is.

  21. Re: July 3? on First Warcraft 3 Reviews Trickle In · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry I was missinformed. The contract says that next time, they won't get it on the release date.

  22. Re: July 3? on First Warcraft 3 Reviews Trickle In · · Score: 1

    I feel sorry for the store. They will no longer be able to sell Sierra, Knowledge Adventrure, or blizzard games. That is part of the agreement they would have had to sign to have the game.

  23. Re:I'm on a team... on Robocup 2002 Now Underway · · Score: 1

    Just a guess, but maybe he doesn't have any control over the quality of the data given to his program.

  24. Zoom Cam on Stabilized Cameras for Long-Distance Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Looks a lot like the "Zoom Cam" that my local news stations have had on the choppers for years.
