Better just move the hosting to North Korea right now and get it over with, lol.
You think think the Glorious Leader will welcome with open arms someone who believes his mission is to give uncontrollable numbers of weapons to the masses? I
Hmm.. is history about to repeat itself? I seem to remember there used to be a bunch of mp3 hosting sites that aren't here now. I'm guessing that this guy will be headed to oblivion once people start up-loading 3d scans of copywrited material - whether it is from a gun manufacturer or from Disney.
Good luck finding somewhere safe to host the servers.
Their FAQ says that and Android client is in the works and will be demoed very soon. As for Apple they claim that Apple's restrictions shuts them out of iOS - but if you have Apple you already have access to FaceTime for all your Apple devices, not that FT can do multi person calls though.
1/3 of the Hyatt's guests are tech savvy introverts who have figured out that they can lessen stress inducing interactions. The other 2/3s are either extroverts or introverts who haven't figured out how to use the kiosks.
Mmmm.. how about to test out technology that hasn't been tried before? That and the fact that landing and boosting off Mars would probably add an order of magnitude of complexity to the project.
As an aside, I was watching a doco on the moon landings recently and they mentioned that the lunar lander on the Apollo 10 mission (which was a full dress rehearsal for Apollo 11 and came with 8 nm of the lunar surface) was not fueled 100% so that Stafford and Cernan wouldn't be tempted to upstage Armstrong by landing on the moon ahead of him.
I think I'd prefer the Monotracer over the C1. One thing that I don't see with the C1 is what happens when you step out and turn the thing off. Those Gyros can't run indefinitely.
I never understood why anyone thought that the computer in Minority Report was something worth pursuing.
Right now I wish I had an interface like that. I am working with three screens on two different computers side by side and delving into 6 or 7 large documents and programs from disparate sources that I need to troll through in order to make sense of the partial information in each one. If I could have a single virtual desktop that was the size of my real desk and be able to push documents around like in Minority Report then I would be a happy camper. As it is I feel like I am peering through a keyhole at each document and continually having to rearrange the layering of each one depending on what I am focussing on for that one instant.
Over course I wouldn't have the display vertical, I'd like a combination of angles from 30 degrees from the horizontal up to vertical.
Anybody who's really determined can get a bomb on a 'plane using this method and nothing the TSA does will prevent it. I know it, you know it, Al Qaeda knows it, even the TSA knows it.
Anyone who is really interested in disrupting air travel won't even try to smuggle a bomb on a plane. All you need to do is set off a bomb (*) in the middle of the security theatre at a major airport (or for fun synchronized at 2 or 3 airports) and that will scare the US public shitless.
* Or you could even do what the IRA did in 1994 when they fired mortars at Heathrow airport.
On top of all that, he also is direcly funding the RIAA and MPAA finances so they can bribe more politicians and harm the free internet, yeah people like him are clearly guilty of funding terrorism.
You are making a big assumption that I buy/bought my my music in the US. You do know that there are other places in the world don't you?
Is your ego so huge and your self esteem so low that you feel the need to just blindly push your self righteous bullshit on us?
Nah it was because the article was subtitled from the get-off-my-lawn dept..
Oh and btw you seem to be a little humor impaired today. I bet you even took that "Yeah I know I'll have to buy the White album again" comment seriously.
(Yeah I know I'll have to buy the White album again)
Why -- if you have the vinyl, you probably have a truer copy than anything digital you can get today. I really don't believe that re-releases are remastered. It doesn't make sense for the industry to do that and then release it on sub-par media (yes iTunes @128k is sub-par.)
Whoosh.. you need to keep up with your pop culture references
Nope.. not at all.. I have paid for every bit of music that I own, starting with LPs & singles, cassette tapes, CDs and even downloads. (Yeah I know I'll have to buy the White album again)
And I prefer music organized in an album.. with a theme.. and good liner notes.. and artwork!
I disagree. Yes the specs are well documented, and third party manufacturers produce compatible lenses, but you have choose - Nikon system, Canon system etc and you can not cross *that* boundary.

And he looked plastic/waxy to me. So he may be preserved .. but lifelike only goes so far.
After due process of law, isn't that the constitutional justification for the death penalty ?
If you are a member of the police force you don't even need due process, you just need someone vaguely threatening you.
Pass. Who uses a full PC to make calls?

Die Messerschmitt für zee highways!
You mean one of these? Messerschmitt KR200
Answering my own post. I found this in the C-1 FAQ
The C-1 has “landing gear” which are deployed when parked to keep the vehicle upright.
I think I'd prefer the Monotracer over the C1. One thing that I don't see with the C1 is what happens when you step out and turn the thing off. Those Gyros can't run indefinitely.

You SERIOUSLY thought that was not intentional?
And miss the ensuing Kirk -vs- Picard flame war?
NO WAY!
Hey you got 3 replies of me saying pussy, you should thank me for that .. lol
Make it so.
You should hand in your Geek card. It was that pussy Picard who used that phrase.
Especially something that is going to crash and burn in a horrible way in the near future?
Slashdot is a US site

Sheesh .. kids today. Now get off my lawn.
Subtle difference. You own books. You own CDs. You don't own the music.
Yeah like when I say I own my car that I really mean that I own the rights to the designs by Honda.
Own? Guess again.
You paid for a medium and format specific license.
And I can take that medium and format specific license and along with the medium itself legally sell it.
Are you also going say that I don't own the books I bought either?
Why -- if you have the vinyl, you probably have a truer copy than anything digital
you can get today. I really don't believe that re-releases are remastered. It doesn't
make sense for the industry to do that and then release it on sub-par media (yes iTunes
@128k is sub-par.)
Whoosh .. you need to keep up with your pop culture references
Why?
Men In Black reference?
It was purely a MIB reference. Although I am interested in the latest anniversary release of Lawrence of Arabia.
On the the other hand .. Han shot first!
Nope .. not at all .. I have paid for every bit of music that I own, starting with LPs & singles, cassette tapes, CDs and even downloads. (Yeah I know I'll have to buy the White album again)

Calling it a lock-is a bit strong.
I disagree. Yes the specs are well documented, and third party manufacturers produce compatible lenses, but you have choose - Nikon system, Canon system etc and you can not cross *that* boundary.
I would say that a lot of people are looking for any reason to say they are going to dump Nikon, even if it is irrational.
You can have my F100 when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers - but I'm taking my 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S to the grave with me :D.
Though I am thinking its getting time to upgrade my D70.
