I wonder how he intends to get round nthe fact that the back of a soldier is nothing like the front of a soldier and the clothing needs to be flexible and will change shape, so you can't just link sensors one to one. Unless the camoflauge outfit is shaped like a rigid barrel, you not only need to know what's behidn you, but you also need to know the exact shape and position of the "cloak". How is that done?
I mean, what exactly is involved in selecting stories for inclusion on the site, because it doesn't seem to involve much editing! No checking to see if articles are repeated. No checking to see if a submission accurtaley refelcts the original story. No checking to see if a submission advocates illegal activities. No checking to see if a submission is just blatant advertising. I'm sure many professional editors would be mortified to see their job title being used in this way. Come on guys, shape up a bit! You have a great site here. A few screwups are ok, but you do need to keep to some standards!
they could at leats have got it working on the garage door and the dish washer. Only took my 10 minutes to configure my Palm OmniRemote program to do that...;-)
BIG SCREEN, dolby surround sound, comfy chair, popcorn etc.
Comfy chair!! Where do you go to the cinema? Most of the place sin the UK try and squeeze so many seats in that it's worse than sitting in a aircraft seat. I'm onky 6'2" but my knees are often squashed against the seat in front. Stops me going to the movies !
Unfortunately, a CD single here in germany is 5.99 euros for what is essentially one song. (Yep, that is almost $6 !). Ignoring the costs of CD/packagaing/distributing and I'm pretty sure that the record compnay is making a lot more than 25 cents (or 25 euro-cents) per track!
But doesn't a smaller number of bits mean that the colours come from a more restricted palette i.e. for my 16 bit screen I could get many more shades of pink than with a 12 bit screen...
"Project Thunderwell was the inspiration of astrophysicist Bob Brownlee, who in the summer of 1957 was faced with the problem of containing underground an explosion, expected to be equivalent to a few hundred tons of dynamite. Brownlee put the bomb at the bottom of a 500-foot vertical tunnel in the Nevada desert, sealing the opening with a four-inch thick steel plate weighing several hundred pounds. He knew the lid would be blown off; he didn't know exactly how fast. High-speed cameras caught the giant manhole cover as it began its unscheduled flight into history. Based upon his calculations and the evidence from the cameras, Brownlee estimated that the steel plate was traveling at a velocity six times that needed to escape Earth's gravity when it soared into the flawless blue Neavada sky. 'We never found it. It was gone,' Brownlee says, a touch of awe in his voice almost 35 years later.
Perosnally, my signal goes through my VCR and then to my TV Set. As long as i can plug a box between the source and the TV, I can copy the signal, so why should I worry about my TV set not being able to make copies?
Unfortunately, it seems when a phone rings you only have three choices -
1. answer it 2. ignore it and wait until the caller gets bored and stops ringing or gets switched to your answer service 3. cut the call off straight away (at which piont they'll probably try and call back again
How hard would it be to have a button, which, when pressed, sent the caller directly to your answer service so they could leave a message? perhaps swicthicngt he phone off while it is ringing would do this, but that sounds kind of risky. A "switch to voice mail" button seems much more user friendly.
"It was amazing," said Dr. Heinrich Hienrichson, "Before I knew it, the robot had stolen my credit card, set up an account on Orbitz and booked two airline tickets to Mexico. Now the robot has escaped and my toaster appears to have gone misisng as well..."
Oh shit - now the whole world will find out that I spend 8 hours every night playing "Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen Magical Mystery Mall" on my playstation! Arrgghhh!!!
I understand that the UCITA works only in the US, so does it cover me if (a) I buy software from directly from a website for instance that is base din the USA and I'm in Europe. Or (b) the other way round, me being inthe USA buys software froma website based in Europe? Or does it depend on where I regsiter the software? Or what?
I recentlyheard a song on the radio and thought I'd like to have a copy on CD. It was only available on single CD, not on an album. Cost of the CD for the one song I wanted - 5.99 euros (thta's pretty much equal to $5.99 at the moment). Did I buy it? Hell no! I wasn't going to pay 6 euros just for one song i wanted to listen to. Did I burn it? Nope. I just reasoned that after a while I'd be bored with the song anyway so why waste the money on it. However, when buying cheap second-hand CDs, I've often made lots of impulse buys - $5 - $7 for a Cd of songs wasn't too bad and I've often found new bands that way. If CD singles were closer to the $1 or $2 price, I'd probably buy a lot as impulse buys. For $6, I wouldn't waste the money.
Similarly, give me cheap downloads and I'll rpobably end up spending a whole lot more in the long run for no extra cost to the company supplying the products as I'll download 50 cheap songs before I'll download one expensive one!
I guess, like myself, most people don't use a pay account on Hotmail but the free service, so we're aren't paying to have up to 5 Mbytes of spam stored on the Hotmail system, but Hotmail has to provide the storage requirements for all that crap. As most people probably wouldn't use their 5 Mbytes for notmal email, they could probably save themselves an awful lot of excess storage space if they just filtered out the spam themselves, plus also bandwidth costs, etc.
Perhaps if they made pinball machiens as pinball machines and stopped trying to make them into videogames! Last pinball machine I played, I seemed to spend more time playing a pathetic videogame on a difficult-to-see ting screen with crappy garphics than I did knocking the ball around! If I wanted to play a videogame, i would play one. I want to send a metal ball whizzing around a cabinet at high speed knocking things over!
And why are they so bloody complicated? A pinball machine should be intuitive so that it is immediate, nbot so complicated that you need to read an instruction manaul to know how things work.
It's a bit hard to tell from the videos, but it looks as if the cabin moves around a bit as the legs walk. I wonbder how this compares to driving a caterpillar-tracked vechile over the terrain? Would the cabin movement be more prone to induce "sea-sickness" motion effects?
As you typically don't have many applications open on a handheld, isn't there a way to use the scroll button in combination with otehr buttons to either a) scroll the window b) scroll through open applications or c) scroll through the list of availbale applications?

The time you spend at work, you ought to be working, not sending personal email, making personal calls, or anything besides work-related stuff.
