Depending on the range of the device, he'd just have to drive around a residential neighborhood. But how many Americans actually have passports these days?
Blend this with the flexible display technology and you'll have something I'll be willing to have embedded subcutaneously. (But please don't add any 'enhancements' like GPS, ID verification, or anything which would allow the government to monitor my whereabouts.)
A sample can create new customers. iTunes does it, Proctor & Gamble does it, the Python Group Ltd./Inc./IP Holdings appears to have done it quite nicely: let the consumer get a clue about what they're buying. Just don't give your product away.
Youtube presents me with a tiny window of video (or a big blotchy one) which is not as good as what I get on a DVD. If I really want to SEE the content, I'll buy it in a better format.
Hopefully, this will knock some sense into the big production companies.
If I had mod points right now, I'd boost your reply beyond mine. My quip elicited your insightful reply...hopefully, it gets the attention it deserves.
Man, am I getting old. This shit used to be relegated to print sci-fi, now its reported like the weather. The first thing I'm thinking is "will this prevent me from working from home on Monday?"
I'll do to the only thing I can think of: I'll invoke a friendly spirit: "Wintermute! Help us!"
"TrojanDevKit.DMG" - available only to 'special developers'. From the EULA: "Only to be used on occasions when our IP is getting ripped to the point we get irritated. Break glass in case of emergency."
Horses and sea horses...coincidence? I think not! (Actually, I do think it is a coincidence. But it is pretty weird that an undersea creature would resemble a land mammal from the neck up [from a squinty distance] to the degree they do.) Meh. Today it's taskbars...in a few years it'll be "oh, so-and-so's 3-D holographic touch-space looks oh-so-much Apple's holographic touch-space". Xerox-X-Apple-Microsoft...the eye candy beat goes on.
Oh, yes! I once had friend who had a field mouse do unspeakable acts to an intake system of a stored car. Not to mention squirrels and their hiding habits! Cars should not be stored outside long-term. These cars might end no better than the flood-damaged cars from Katrina and the Mississippi floods of years past.
I would absolutely agree in 99% of the cases. Those Who lyrics effectively sum up my typical view of politics. But in this case, the predecessor may have a few things to be blamed for (as did his and a couple others before him.) I guess I've allowed a certain amount of guarded optimism to surface. It would be cool if we could get back to the point where we could just have a nation in which we can just get stuff done for a while.
The Obama administration will more easily (and rightly) be able to say "Don't blame us, the problem already existed when we arrived...see for yourself." Hopefully, lots of the closeted skeletons will see the light of day.
If the photo is truly of stored cars, hope you don't buy one of the ones parked on the grass! Storage like that is certain to cause corrosion to under-body parts and moisture in the transmission & engine. Even worse is the mention of storage at ports...salt spay is even worse on cars.
Does it generate enough energy to power itself and yield a surplus? Because if it's using power from the site where it operates, then it's still increasing its 'carbon footprint'.
Except you can breath the outside atmosphere, the gravity is Earth-normal, and emergency help is much closer. Otherwise, a great simulation of life on Mars. (An Antarctic simulation lab would be a bit closer to the mark.)
A hybrid or an electric? GM, Honda, and Toyota hav all produced hybrids. Tesla produces an impressive electric car. What is new here except that *this* Chinese manufacturer is producing *this* car?
Since the product is still in development, I feel I've got several options: 1) storing of very small valuables within a cigarette (as you've alluded to), or 2) create an ad campaign featuring a doctor (or at least someone who *looks* like a doctor...perhaps an actor?) which insinuates that my cigarettes are less harmful than many others.
I'm thinking option 2 would be easier. I could also state that my cigarettes are "The Official Cigarettes of private Orbital Spacecraft". Perhaps I could get an astronaut to endorse them as such.
Do you think this quandary is a suitable "Ask Slashdot" question?
It's capitalized and, therefore, a formal name. I'm planning a new product along these same lines: I'm developing "Safe Cigarettes". (BTW, don't tell anyone of my plans.)
Here's an idea: rework your post into a nutty e-mail message and send it samzenpuss (or one of the other addresses above). Personally, I enjoy the idle section, Mr. Grumpy Gus. Although this particular set of messages seemed a little weak.

True w/r/t /. but I'm over 22.6 mega-minutes in age. THAT probably makes me older than many here.

You're right, he wasn't friendly. I seem to recall that, like HAL9000, he was mostly doing what he was programmed to do.

LOL...of course I meant "salt spray". (I blame my over-dependence on the Mac's spell-checking.)

I once heard that vampires don't show up on camera. Now we'll know one way or another!
I'm racking my brain for a connection between this story and that line from Bladerunner. Anyone have a clue?
If you're adopted, you can't answer this question.

We can use the ship to go visit Wintermute!!!
