Which then make this sort of thing more akin to prmitive farming or cultivation. The grass and roots are real, but seeds do have to planted and allowed to grow. what would we call it? Farmed grass? Cultivated roots? Lawn grass (as opposed to wild grass roots)? Bamboo?
During the cold war there was much competition between American and Russian office productivity. The Americans spent millions delevoping a system to direct sunlight into buildings. It was awesome in its capabilities. The sun tracker used very little energy, the interior of the building was laced with miles of fiber optic cabling. All in all a wonder of modern engineering triumph.
When face with a similar problem, the Soviets used a "window".
Seems like the more stars we look at, the more planets we fine. Maybe we can start to make educated guesses as to what at least one of the values in the Drake equation is, instead of the wild ass, pull a number out of my butt, guesses we had been using.
Just because eTax is for hearing-only doesn't mean Australia is waging a war on the deaf. It doesn't mean they are "supporting global monopolies". They are casting the widest net with the least cost, which unfortunately is something government rarely attempts.
The government has better things to do than cater to everyone who doesn't have a sense that 90% of people have. Sorry, there are much more important things out there.
They didn't rule out support for the deaf in the future. They even suggested alternatives for now (Relay services, etc).
It's better to release a test version for the hearing than maintain three differnet versions for three different disabilities. Give them time.
My point being, they could/should have developed this as cross platform from the beginning. How hard is it to use open standards to create a cross platform web app? And for the last point, apparently it's been 4 years, how much time does it take to fix this sort of thing?
heh...can the post office deliver a package marked "do not bend" without turning it into a Rubik's Magic? Which happened to a number of 5.25 floppy disks mailed to me (ah the Commodore Gazzette...good times, good times....)
Fedex can get a letter across the country in 4 days for less than 50 cents?
Yes, they can, they do it every Holiday season, when the post office gets overloaded and asks for help from private companies. Before fedex would/could the post office tell you where in the country your package was?
The taxi company can get me across the city for less than three bucks?
does the bus come to your door to pick you up? Can you call up a bus at 3 in the morning to take you home? (here in Denver-metro I beleve the busses stop running at 10pm)
Let SpaceX do unmanned launch services for relativly cheap and tSpace (Scaled Composites) fly the manned payloads. Even better have them both compete with each other and others for cheap space access.
This is more like that episode where Fry gets a robot copy of Lucy Liu. we just have to insert a blank robot in the drive and copy the information over and BAM!...a robo-mation copy of Gillian Anderson.
i'm not gonna post how this ttl cpu has melted into little bits of plastic and metal. Instead, I'm imagining a Beowulf cluster of these cpus. And that's making me laugh even harder.
From TFA: Previously undiscovered bacteria that can survive the anticipated 100C temperatures of the upper mantle could be useful on the surface. Heatproof enzymes isolated from bugs brought back by earlier Japanese drill missions are now used in washing powders.
WOW! Just imagine the kinds of laundry detergent we could make with super heat resistant bacterial enzymes. WOW! Just imagine the kinds of laundry detergent we could make with super heat resistant bacterial enzymes.

That is one sane and useful use of RFID. Since it is sane and useful, it will never see the light of day.
Asto-turfing is creating fake grass roots.

I want some quantum quantums. I that would be smurfy.
...that the Swedes have a navy?
A military navy? Come on, stop making crap up.
This just puts a whole new spin on that real life pacman game they play in new york
We FOUND this planet. So we obviously can't call it Clitorum.

Congratulations, you're only a step or two away from creating the world's first self-exploding skyscraper!
If you manage to blow up a sky scaper with a couple of ounces of nitrate explosives, I think I'd sue the architect and building contractor.
I want humanoid servant bot to look something like this:

I just saw that. Now the question becomes, why it isn't a web app.
:P
Maybe they could have used Mozilla and Java to develop the application
Here are some things to remember:

It's the GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project wiki.
I imagined a beowulf cluster of these and it looked like a trapper keeper
200,000 Km/h is 39,767,756.3 rods per hour

how often does the introduction of 'market forces' actually improve services?
You mean like the post office vs. federal express or united parcel service?
How about RTD (in Denver-metro thats public busses) vs. a taxi company?

That's neat how you mix two things that have nothing to do with each other together into an incoherent semi-thought.

The kids doing the SMS had some sort SMS record.
a brand new TPS (as he didn't use much of a TPS at all)
What? Didn't he get that memo?
