Are you kidding? First of all, they didn't say they were going to win next week. It's not all there yet.
But a pretty simple laser system could see velocity and rotation as it came off the kicker's foot and perform the required calculations in practically no time at all, making even blocking a penalty kick pretty likely rather than the crapshoot it is normally. As an added bonus, a soccer ball has very evenly spaced lines and spots. You could hardly design a ball easier to read by machine.
Don't do this. Send half to him and half to me. That way you get a better regional distribution, as well as the money fueling different sectors of the economy. Plus the money spent should be tax-deductable, so as to ensure that I will indeed spend the money rather than save it and rake in sick interest and dividends.
Not only will it cure cancer, but patches and upgrades will include cures for AIDS and more as yet undiscovered diseases! Aren't subscriptions wonderful? Still, what happens when you get a BSOD in the middle of the curing process? Do you crash as well? 'Cause people aren't quite as easy to reboot. Better start putting Ctrl+Alt+Del keys on defibrilators now...
And CD's are depriving those hard-working 8-track manufacturers of their profits. Of course some companies updated their products to serve the changing economy. But that'd never work with communications...
While the CG does rock, has anyone else actually seen how horribly it clashes with the animation? I say, either do it all CG, or else use computers to enhance the normal animation. Doing it like this ruins the whole effect.

You would certainly cut down on the number of patents that way. And patent examiners would suddenly become extremely wealthy.

I dunno. That seems like a good feature to me.
I think you're the only person listening to the Alan Parsons Project anywhere.

Hey! Rimmer is a pretty cool guy, if I do say so myself. ;)
Let me just say that's a very cool name. May the rest of the net fall victim to the plague...
