The price of corn went up thanks to all these 'green' autos. Now the price of sugar is going to go up because of personal audio devices!
They need to concentrate on getting power out of byproducts like veggie diesel. Now gimme a walkman with a small diesel engine running a small generator and then I'll be happy. Granted i'll have to stand in one place because it'll be too heavy to carry. And my hands will stink after fueling. At least grease doesn't explode to readily.
Hey, here's a question. Would a Vegan drive a volkswagon that runs off of animal fat grease? What a delimma... it's already dead, and it would be 'green.' What about a car that runs off of roadkill. Ok, this is going to be modd'd offtopic;)
It'll be used for video games and pr0n. We all know who gets tech first. The problem I see is that it heats up they air to the point that when you get too excited and attempt to touch... You loose a hand or other appendage.
Now, when someone can show me some live footage of two stars crashing into each other and a really big explosion, then I'll be impressed. Something far enough away so I can actually see it all happening, but not so far that it looks like a few grains of sand crashing into each other.
The other thing that keeps me getting excited about this stuff is when something REALLY COOL is going to happen, and then they say. "It will be in the very near future, realativly, in the next 5 million years."
I got more out of the banner ads for self aiming telescopes in the $400-$500 range. I never was good at aiming my old telescope. I could find the moon, but not anything smaller.
i'm sysadmin at a small company with more servers than people. Everyone else here gets 3 weeks vacation but the boss wants them to take at least 2 of them all at once. Well, except me, he knows that there's not 9 consecutive days in any year that something doesn't break.
Boeing has developed a new squirrel mounted laser. Lasers have been mounted to squirrels and released on the Iranian border. Unfortunatly the squirrels were all captured by iranian police, but not after they fried their eyes out.
And the unless you're Cathlic was about the previous statment "open for interpretation." What I was tought was: way back when, Catholics were not allowed to interpret the Bible. That was the Pope's job. The peasants couldn't even read the latin, so that kept it the job of the clergy. This was one of MANY reasons for the protestant reformation. http://www.gotquestions.org/Protestant-Reformation .html (paragraph 2)
I know that's no longer the case, and may not have been as true as was taught.
But anyway, I was just poking a little fun.
Anyway, glad to see another Christian (assuming again, damn) on/.
I don't quite agree with the location though. I was more of the opinion that it was from somewhere that's currently known as Iraq. Between a couple of the rivers there. Not somewhere I'd want to visit right now, but hopefully we can re-chrtianize the area (yeah right!)
I don't agree with the timeline that a lot purport, but it's open for interpretation. Unless you're Catholic.;)
Q: My film is being destroyed by cosmic death rays, what can I do about it? A: Digital camera, Raid 5, good backups.
Q: But only velvet#50 has the unique qualities I'm looking for. I can't reproduce that with digital. A: Photoshop CS7, Filters -> Artistic -> Velvitize.
Q: But I have to have REAL velvet#50 for all these Elvis and Bengal tiger prints I'm doing. I can't print on velvet with an inkjet! A: I heard fujifilm has a good film that does this, see if they still make it.
True, I forgot that in each case I would give a credit card, but after the stay or rental I would actually pay for it on the debit. But they keep that credit card so they can run it up if the property was trashed.
I'm sure this has been said by now, but here I go anyway. Hotels and Car Rental places do not take cash. Often they won't even take a DEBIT card, only a true credit card. WHY? Because if you trash their property they want a method to take you for all they can. They'll charge the card up to the limit to try to get their money. If you paid with cash, they can't do this. If you paid with a DEBIT they can't do it nearly as much. Most people have a much less cash in their checking than they have credit on a Credit card. I understand why they do this, they don't want someone paying cash, using a fake name, pretending their a rock star in their hotel and leaving before anyone has seen the damage done. Is this legal? I can't say for sure, but I bet if it wasn't it wouldn't have gone on so long. And in your dorm situation, you're staying in their hotel.
I'm sure everyone has realized this already, but if time travel were possible someone would have already come back and told us. Don't waste money researching it.
But then again, there's the possibility that you could only go forward, which is also risky. What if you zapped yourself 100 years into the future, only to find you're now part of a wall, or a tree... Or A FLY!!!! MUAHAAHAUAHUAHUAA

I'm usually all for people doing anything it takes to make a buck, as long as it's legal. But this should not be legal. This is extortion and is bad for the general public. If this works, it's going to take longer for fixes to appear because of legal issues, and the vendor will have to decide if it's even worth it. I'm floored.
Agreed on the shoddy work. My father-in-law runs a temp to perm labor service. He doesn't promote any of the workers, they are hired out based on their performance. He actually prefers NOT to have them hired out because it cuts his labor pool. Because of the poor work habits, the immigrants make up nearly the entire temp staff, and everyone else makes up the 'to perm' guys. And his customers are willing to pay more for non-immigrants because they get more work done in a day. It's not because they CAN work harder, it's because they DO work harder. Maybe this isn't the case everywhere, but it is here.
I still like my LED's in blue. But colors that signify things are great. Green = good. Red = Bad. Blue = On. Blinking = Busy.
I need more LEDs! I WANT my office to look like a jet fighter cockpit! The ONLY thing I don't want with lights on it, is my watch. It's a simple, metal watch with a sigle dial.
There is such a thing as too far. I won't wear an LED belt buckle or name tag. I won't stick LEDs on the outside of my car.
I've been looking for my cell phone for the last 30 minutes. Checked the office, checked the car, had the wife check the house. Been calling it! Can't find it!

WTF? I think I get it now, but I didn't until I started reading the comments... But how about someone give a synopsis for the non kernal hackers here.

NEWSFLASH:
Boeing has developed a new squirrel mounted laser. Lasers have been mounted to squirrels and released on the Iranian border. Unfortunatly the squirrels were all captured by iranian police, but not after they fried their eyes out.
Cost? $50 million nuts.
Well, the ;) meant I was joking.

They found something interesting 10m below the surface eh? I'm assuming they're using the correct abbreviation of 'm' and that's 10 meters.
So GET IT ALREADY! If it's a pile of dirt you'll know instantly. If it's a lump of kryptonite you'll know instantly.

I joke, but I admit.. I really like it, and if I can get a few development things working on it, I'll switch. Yes, it does seem faster.
