actually now that I think about it, it was my psycotic co-worker.. ex navy, drank 3 pots of coffee before I got in to work, and had to be about 70 yrs old. the only person I knew who would literally ask a user if they were "F***ing stupid, you just registered 80 domains with $20 setup fees each!" ahh, yes the memories.
actually not so wrong, in the navy ship radarmen used to use the equipment as a practical joke to some poor joe out on the flight deck of aircraft carriers... they'd aim the equipment at em and nuke em till it was too hot for them to bear.
Tax dollars at work!
(not a legend, I talked to the radarmen for this one)
I didn't like the idea of maintaining a set speed just to click on an icon... I'm guessing the guy in front of me in traffic wouldn't either.
and to calibrate you had to turn the computer on at the exact speed you would be operating at.
not to mention I don't know any public transportation that maintains a constant speed (except for that bus in the movies), especially for one geek with a palm pilot.
I can gaurantee I haven't spent that much on hardware (or the scaled down verson of those figures) but my basement is full of mediocre crap(read 800-1.5ghz comps+ monitors) like that. a visit to goodwill or the salvation army will make it happen.
the only major investment for him was prolly the video cards and the power bill running the CRT's.
ya I can see your point... someone can SHOUT a broadCAST all over the world. now all we need is cheap digital receivers... *cough* verizon $79 unlimited broadband cellservice *cough* now if they could only make it work on a PDA *please pay no attention to italics
no crap... I expected to see a cave projection, or something spectacular, and here I see something I can achive with a few thrustmaster parts. Cmon... atleast a frekin screen with a DLP projector... hell if you want real, get a fireGL with the glasses and DLP. I'm now annoyed with innovation.

So just dont buy anything you're not willing to throw in the microwave for 10 seconds.
that rules out pet shops...

Slacker! I've got utilities I found through google checking every 5 minutes, OR LESS! ooooh google... I"m going over there for a while... need my fix.
Mmmmm metasearch... ahhhhh ya
from how anal they are getting in airlines today, I wonder if my cellphone and Bluetooth enabled laptop are EMP devices.
It's amazing what sheep will do when you tell them they should.
This is about laptops, not social reform in wyoming.
Ya but except for nasty warts or uglieness, he's un-likely to persue legal matters.
Looking at Gates' visage, I think god already won.

I tried a gyro mouse in a car and that lasted nearly 10 seconds... damn thing thought I was constantly moving it forward.
If this uses gyros for stabilization I'd hate to see it on an airplane, subway, bus, car, etc.
if it's using mercury swiches then cool, but bumpy roads will suck something fierce... not to mention the tree-huggers complaining about mercury use.
sadly something cool like this is probably going to go the way of the 3d-joystick (which I stopped using on my Commodore 64 nearly 15 years ago.)
Let me put this in another perspective...$5 for a peep show or $500 for a hooker.
You forgot 30 bucks for a run of Penicillin.
great, first I need to encrypt, then firewall, vpn, virus scanner, and now I need a latex sheet!
When will it end!?!

It's only a model.

wow, the 'slam face into tree...' section completed the equation... maybee every 1.2.3.4.Profit equation can be solved this way.
I think everyone who posts a 1.2.3.4.Profit equation should try.

you must use netscape
Caffine, Taurine, and Guarana seems to hit the spot... normally lethal levels for 'normal' people and I can go right to bed.
Generally something like caffinated water works best... nothing but water and caffine, the way the fictional people mean it.
