--- The Battle of the Titans has been established in a town of the (middle West?) famed for drag racing, bike jumps across gulches and similar macho standoffs.
Turned-on-technologists from all States convene for the Battle of the Schwarz. (Der Schwarzbattelgotterdammerunggesellschaft)
Two champions, representing their respective armies, face off on the Plain.
Passions rise. Injuries are attempted. Few occur. (Spirit willing, but..)
Finally tempers abate and the parties go home, deflated but having had their Day On the Plains,
confronting the greatest of their generation.
POst-quark APril 1 charm
Agreeably hard to distinguish true content from false on this year's Topeka date.
Twitterers driving Hollywoood seems well pitched close enough to the believability threshold to cause real doubt.
Every day I read Slashdot expecting to be on the boundary between the beliebavle and the possible but not yet practical.
As someone who prefers the bright haze of a documentary to the potential fuzz of fiction I wonder is the appeal of Slashdot: the be the source in reality for the sciFi desire in our day-job bound reality-needing souls?
I certainly open it looking for that "could it be?" buzz.
PS. Talking virtual reality, has anyone detected the potential typo of hadron for hard-on?
lETS FACE IT THE proper laptop of the future should come with six separate fold-out screens (in material as thin as virtual paper) so you can keep an eye on 7 separate windows at once. You know it's a need. Just that nobody got wise to satisfying it yet.
And obviously so called widescreen, if this is really true, entraps my work (translator - keep eye on original and product 24/7, got it?) as obviously everyon (typo rival to Enron) needs lots of vertical space.
Hey yes this is er yes funny but how does it er relate to the subj. at hand ? Sounds like my current doe-mestic er sit-uation.
Have tried not to be a Koward but not even managed to Post witho ur without clothes. Totally un-nerd
Obviously a good idea -
(1) Obviously we could use our leftover muscle power (we foolishly and anti-Darwinly use it doing something called "working out"), not f*ssil f*el.
(2) years ago I planned to live on a cliff in the Azores and I imagined the Atlantic swell rising the vertical cliffs would lift me a float-weight, which would spiral down a central pole rhythmically and easily generating - electricity.
Why have no inventors come up with this obvious harness of wave power since I invented it in 1978? (Instead I went to Brazil.)
Eh?
I would seriously like to see some of the things I have invented take shape - e.g. moving pictures on paper (i.e. in books and magazines)(which I conceived at age about 10); sun-powered blimps for transport in hot climes; the useful house: "hundreds of little rat-shaped vacuum cleaners" (delivering dust to a water runnel under the wainscoating to carry away debris) (the rats have to have sharp noses for corners, not be round robots); "dining table that withdraws to the ceiling"; All obvious stuff, no?... Suggestions / production proposals welcome..
