Shocky is, quite simply, for people who have trouble waking up. When the alarm clock goes off and the snooze button is pressed, Shocky will give a mild 500 volt shock. Each successive Snooze press increases the voltage by a factor of 10 !
From the linked article Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Airbus SAS, the world's largest plane maker, tomorrow will unveil its 555-seat A380, a 12 billion-euro ($16 billion) wager that airlines will order giant aircraft to ferry passengers between major airports over the next 20 years.
Darn, 4th Class is tough on those 245 passangers without seats.
Reid Maynard wonders: "I work in an environment where the dollar is more than almighty (who doesn't?). One of my cost savings plans is to replace the desktop computer with an abacus. They cost much less, the parts are readily available and/or interchangeable - as opposed to waiting for overnight proprietary or obscure parts from a vendor, and so on. -- is there something special about a desktop computer other than looking at the blinking lights and feeling special?"
Amazon already has 65,000 developers who are working on ways to plunder information on its site for their own ends. The payback for Amazon is the selling of more stuff through its site.
WOW..from Amazon's open job page it seems most developer jobs are in Washington state. If we assume a salary of $100,000 per this results in Amazon spending 6.5 Billion dollars per year, just on developers.
Or maybe this is a typo.
Of course you could do some cost cutting and move it off-shore for less than $500,000,000.00/yr. Anyway, they seem to have a lot of openings.
Again is this such a large problem that new laws are needed requiring yet more technology being forced on the general (driving) public, in every passanger car?
I think the answer is no.
Sounds like another solution looking for a problem.

Something like a full tank of gasoline.
two weeks to undo the node-ball that is.
we called them 'node-balls'
They happened by accident, if you hit "auto-arange" with like 500+ nodes on the map. With 5,000 nodes, it turns into a two week project.
In every USA satellite photo of Castro, he appears to be mooning.
Coincidence?

This is what I discovered.
Get older PC, place in area, turn off, cover with plastic.
when you need to use it, uncover, turn on, use, turn off, cover.
This method will last a very long time (years) then you can go get another $75 PC for the next few years.
If it were recessed, you could say, put something on it, like a USB device, etc.
(1) Turn the ON-OFF selector switch to the OFF position.

These guys should get out more, I just saw a 100-billionths of a gram of antimatter on eBay starting at $9.99

They know where 90% of the traffic problems are. Mostly just more lanes are needed.
