    lewd_renaissance_dude is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported

  2. Re:If it really knew where it was... on Not Even Investors Know What Google Glass Is For · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If the thing had good enough heading and position information, it could overlay detailed information on the real world. But it's not that good. It's just a smartphone display.

    Too bad smartphones don't ship with GPS receivers, accelerometers, gyroscopes...

    Perhaps they should have consulted with a Social Media Expert. Preferably one well versed in SEO and targeted ad compaigns. Those guys are great.

  12. IOIO? on Ask Slashdot: Best Electronics Prototyping Platform? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If you like Java, I'd suggest the IOIO and an Android device. You inherit the device's guts (gps, cellular antenna, speakers, wifi, gyro, color display) and can go nuts. The biggest difficulty for me was getting the ADK up and running w/ Eclipse on my Debian laptop. They are cheap too...take a look at Sparkfun and Adafruit.

  23. Hydrogen is too scary for passenger blimps. People wouldn't like them even if they had ejectors and parachutes.
