Interesting thought, if you have high blood pressure you will sometimes get what's known as "floaters" in your eye, where a small part of the retina breaks off and leaves a spot in your vision, its kind of like a dead pixel in your monitor, and trust me, there is no warranty:/
Anyway, reason I mention it is because due to medication I have gotten 2 of these little bastards now (thankfully the drug I was on I am no longer using), and having a little dot or 2 on the edge of your vision is not useful, it is,in fact, VERY FUCKING ANNOYING.
Unless they can give us readable heads-up displays forget it, flashing dots and crap just mean your either on bad meds or drinking too much;)
Hrmm, even better, just gaffer tape it to a wheel on your car, worst case you get to work and its still there, best case its... well, the accelerometer likely won't be the same again:)
I wouldn't really call it production, the only end of the jack hammer that produces anything is the reciprocating motor (movement). I would refer to it more as "the business end" of the jack hammer:)
For instance on-call workers typically need a particular phone to support their companies dispatch software. A lot of them just use i-Phones because, well, "there's an app for that".
Hrmm, lets think, for a few hundred I can get a camera with rf transmitter that weighs about 100g (check out the ones approved for motor-sports), armour is a secondary issue if you can make it cheap enough (and a small self destruct charge for when it does take a hit in hostile areas, to prevent the enemy retrieving munitions).
For aiming, well the thing looks pretty damn stable, might have to work on some firmware mods to make it allow for weapon kick, leading targets, etc.
But throw in one of those metal-storm weapon systems (could double as self destruct, just fire off all rounds or charges simultaneously), and you would have one hell of a suppressing fire machine, could throw out 1 or 100,000 rounds in a matter of seconds, and could also make it rather modular so instead of the gun could mount a 40mm grenade launcher (no, don't bother with anti tank, a tank would drop the thing out of the air so fast your head would spin and predators do a damn good job with those already).
A friend of mine is the opposite, a lot of other games, particularly the ID series, make him horribly sick, even just watching someone play, yet he can play any source based games without a problem.
The FoV could be a culprit, could also be how the engine handles some colours or even how a particular texture artist draws (my friend is colour blind to red and a few other colours).
Yeah, but your at this problem from the wrong end, I think it would be better to make more films you would want to turn your phone off to enjoy undisturbed for an hour or two.
You could pass the time by making phone calls from the cinema without disturbing anyone
No, never and fuck off come to mind. Using a mobile phone in a cinema is one of the least considerate things anyone can do, they create light pollution distracting other patrons from what they are paying for and are absolutely not needed (the exception, emergency staff on call, and they usually just leave their phone on vibrate + silent) let alone any audible noise from them, can't you seriously just disconnect for an hour?
In short, No.
In long, Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-oooooooooooooooooooooooo:)
Also in USA at least its illegal (federal law) to operate any video recording device in a cinema.
Yeah, mine was like your first one, easy as anything (provided a link to the site, a link to their CC license and a link to the song (harder to do on such a dynamic site, but doable)).
No, their automated system is saying "this might be illegal", the user does have the right to challenge it, I have and won before (in one, google claimed a nine inch nails song was copyright, and yes the version released by the record company was, I used the version from remix.nin.com, which is creative commons licensed).
Funnily enough, you only need that ID when initially opening your business with a bank, if you continue to patronise their business you will likely need nothing more than your keycard and a bit of easily obtainable information to open accounts, loans, etc.
In fact, I organised, established and paid off a personal loan with the National Australia Bank without even owning a piece of primary ID (photographic) "just sign here and here...", that deficit in my own recognition paperwork has since been rectified of course.
Yeah, a DDoS would work, also you could try strategic poisoning of their database, try and get some government information pages blocked, catholic church pages, etc.
Well, as someone else pointed out, this will mainly work on a submission system, so they are essentially crowd-sourcing it.
Now, as we all know, such systems can be easily dealt with either by DDoS (as pointed out, a firefox plugin that will submit every page you view to their department) or you could start strategically poisoning it, find parts of some of the catholic church pages that are infringing, and seeing if you can get them to ban whole domains:)
Hate replying to myself, particularly when I wanted to just make it funny, but FUCK this is going to be a growth industry in Australia.
Lets just work on youtube, 20 hours of vid uploaded per min (quick google search gave me this number), thats 1200 people required to be constantly watching new youtube vids for potentially bad content.
People can't work 24/7:)
So, in 8hr shifts, we have 3600 people... wait, holidays...
Lets just make it a round 4000 people employed just for keeping up with the current youtube uploads.
Now thats to keep up, how much to get ahead and start indexing all those vids already there?
The upshot of this whole thing is of course that our jobless rate is going to evaporate as we are going to need that chunk of the the population to surf the net and flag possible bad content.

Well, if they get two dots working, its not so much like having two working dots, as n-2 dead pixels ;)

If its part of your job, then usually they do.
For instance on-call workers typically need a particular phone to support their companies dispatch software. A lot of them just use i-Phones because, well, "there's an app for that".
Think of 2 stepper motors hooked up with USB and a small gyroscope cradle for the phone. Lego mindstorms should have something that will fit the bill.

Probably takes all 30min of flight time to reach 8000ft, which is when you suddenly realise that redundant landing solutions are a great idea :)
"... take their cash... "
Now I will admit that the $NZ has been doing well of late, but still, that;s kind of like stealing a kids monopoly money ;)
Incorrect, it doesn't even need that.
A parachute would be the likely "redundant" option here, like with some ultra-light aircraft.
Yeah, although its been modded incorrectly, at the moment it is 70% funny, 30% interesting, it should be 100% insightful :/

Yeah, I suck at writing music, can play a little (I play piano... badly) but don't put me in front of blank sheet.
It is a pity I can't write my own songs, but then, if we could all do it, the artists would hardly be special then would they :)

yes, blatant ZP rip-off but its needed.
*sigh*
And they banned the sequel in Australia, still managed to get a copy, damn funny stuff :)
Oh and about 2-3 days :)

That's why I mentioned GEERS, they will pay you your entitlement.
Sane government at work :)
