So if I type "cockcockcockcock" at the keyboard when the boss comes into the room because, well, it helps me think, Sir, anyone else can read that change immediately? Does no-one these days realise how much productivity is lost by the ability for people to instantly and frequently interrupt you?
and if they do, is the nominally exciting part the nudity and sex, or the minilevel where you get to throw stones at the adulterous apostates until they are dead?
Yes, they have a donut holder on the dash, and they achieve a petro-flop.
I once had a computer with a hard drive that had a cracked case. It was a tower and stopped booting up. I found that if I laid it on it's side, turned it on, and then stood it upright after it started booting it worked fine. My assumption was that upright, everything in the HDD didn't line up right. On it's side it did. I imagine that the gyroscopic nature of the platters in the hard drives kept them in place while I stood it upright again.
This can't be the first software of its kind... Five years ago, NASA was using much more subtle feature detection software in detecting interesting rocks and regions from satellite imagery of Mars. It seems like life jacket detection in oceans would be a much simpler reduction of that problem.
Yes, but what is the cover story that it was not used?
Slashdot Mirror
What's next? Slashdotters complain that the US Gov doesn't nothing to locate leaks because they are incompetent? Can't have it both ways...
Of course we can -- it's Slashdot!
Do you mean Quantum Slashdot?
Who wants to bet that the Japanese will make some kind of game show out of this?
Robots have an advantage in the Hand Bike.
Indeed. The Internet is also powered by AOL.
Especially so in Libya.
This is not a good place to insert a car analogy. Try Libraries of Congress or something else.
Imagine a school bus full of kids learning to backseat drive.
I think youu're looking for 'Apartments and Accountants'
Or Sheldrakes and Kubeliks

Bust out the ham radios and brush up on your CW!
I really need to up my license to General.
CQ CQ CQ oh shit help guys with guns are here
Mobile 2-meter stuff might be an option. Don't count on repeaters lasting long though.
The guy with the Bunga Bunga party is now sending the commercial.
do you think iranian games have a hot coffee mod?

Yes, they have a donut holder on the dash, and they achieve a petro-flop.

Is that CIA hat yours?
Of course, I bought and paid for it.
In Soviet Union, the Government controls spin.
or a 3 year old named Zune. I guess that's not as bad as a 30 year old named TRS-80.

Obligatory car analogy:
At the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia there was a jalopy race. One of the cars was a former Indy car. It ran away and hid from the pack.

I for one welcome our former Senatorial Overlords.
How much antimatter do you need to make a bomb that will, say, take down an medium-to-high-rise apartment complex?ll
Well, given the definition of matter and antimatter, I guess you would need a medium-to-high-rise load of antimatter to take care of the matter stuff.
It depends on what you mean by take down. The Hiroshima bomb released about 1.5 mg of mass for enough kilotons to flatten a building.
Anonymous It's the same principle as the HBGary story -- you don't poke a wasp's nest with a stick.
Of course not. Wait for a cold day, and carry the pretty nest home.
What makes you think you have the right to control what I put in my fictional works?
Just then Lincoln shot big bird with his ray gun and all the children were covered in a shower of feathers and candy.
Why should I not be allowed to write the above?
Because Big Bird is not a candy ass?

Gyrostabilized Processing System (GPS) ...
Maybe programmers in the UK are accustomed to assuming that localtime always equals UTC except during six hardcoded months.
Are they keeping time with a word processor?

Since 98% of slashdotters love it with a fanatic cult like adoration. Now be careful getting down off that high horse.
Mr. Ed, is that you?
Ah this is just paving the way for the next version of chrome - no browser at all! Just sit there and use your imagination.

Oh please, those Arabs have no plans, no leaders and no democracy. This Egypt thing is not like the US Revolution or Israel or Gandhi and India.
It is more like the French Revolution where the commoners replaced Louis for Napoleon, except in Egypt they have no Voltaire.
If they have no Voltaire, then they must invent one.
Wrong science. This is physics, not biology. Unless you are talking about ill-tempered robotic sharks with frickin' laser beams...
No, he meant cute cuddly robotic sharks with simulated lasers.

If you can't take out your aggression with your car, then what is it for?
By ants!
Wearing sneakers.
Seriously. Getting into orbit is one thing. Going to the moon is another. Is that even possible on a budget of $20 mil?
Getting into orbit $10 mil.
Getting to the moon $20 mil.
Getting back Priceless.
