  1. Re:Conversation Changes Songs? on Is There A Market For A Voice Controlled MP3 Car Stereo? · · Score: 1

    There aren't that many people with the skill necessary to do this.

    Even if a kit, and instructions were available a full package would sell better.

    >>Maybe next, some company will find a use for airplane food as a source of energy

    It's been done, in my childhood town actually.

    A company bought the local dump and closed it down! They now make more money than the dump did. How? They covered it, added vents, and put fans in the vents. Finally they hooked the fans up to generators, and now sell electricity to the local utility boards.

    >>This fuel cell means that there is no advantage to the low power consumption of the Crusoe...

    Is this the same thinking as encouraging companies to write bloated code just because hard drives are bigger and systems are faster?

  5. Re:Extended Uptime on Portable Fuel Cell Technology · · Score: 1

    We could take that a step further. Let's put a mini air compressor, an extra hose, and another compartment in the battery casing. That will essentially be mini air conditioning...

    Hmmm.... an air conditioner that uses it's own fuel as coolant.

    I've got the business plan, anyone want to go for IPO?

  7. Re:From the Int.Fed. of Journalists on Reactions to AOL/Time-Warner Merger · · Score: 1

    Journalists deliver current content that would otherwise be difficult to find. In theory the only way to get news without journalists would be to travel and talk to everyone, but then you'd be a journalist... Joe

  8. Re:Bitterness on An Open Letter to the Y2K Bug · · Score: 1

    This sounds something a tired, computer lliterate IS Manager would say.

    I disagree completely. I have seen many people in IS work in unbearable conditions. Why? Their managers knew that they could be manipuliated into doing so.

  9. PARTY DEC. 31, 2001 on An Open Letter to the Y2K Bug · · Score: 1

    Computer Joe Next year will be bigger and better. Y2K was a media farce! It was used to sell all sorts of products Magazines, Newspapers, and Airtime included. Get the message yet: If you need it, use the "Real Millenium" as an excuse to party. The weekend's enough for me. Joe
