Or if you find out how to stimulate that part, maybe some good oldfashioned brain exercise to increase your cache and speed. On second thought.. Nah.. Not really geeky enough;)
You just tell people you are doing low level optimization of mental processes to increase overall mental system proformance.
Have you ever thought about that professor with all the headgear that records his surroundings? Hmm.
If the tech was ever cheap enough and I had large enough portable HD space, I'd want to store all live A/V from around me. I don't believe the theater or MPAA or the government has the right to prevent me from recording my life and reviewing it. If I paid for a ticket to a movie, I should be able to bring my life recording device with me and review my life after. It is also my right to sell parts of my life to others for a profit. (Work.)
Problems with 3D paradigm. 1 My real world monitor isn't 3D. It is 2D. People have to learn that how to do things and all about clicking and double clicking to make it do stuff (i.e. run) So there is this whole training thing. Those who have helped show the any how to plany FPS know all about this.
2 3D is really limited space. My Windows, I can have as many apps open as needed. I can't "look at them all at once" though. In my office, I have really limited space though. . I have a tiny little workspace, here everyone does. It's nice to be able to store all of our documents on the PC.
3 In the real world, my boss makes me clean my office and all my documents get stacked in one big useless file. It would be very handy if I could few a list of every piece of paper in my big pile. It is even worse though if I put it in a filing cabient. It is gone for good when it goes there.
4 Relationships between objects. I argree with you on this one. I have news for you though. It is "hard" otherwise we'd be doing it now.
I may be alittle slow. What is the logical difference "from rotating your view" from "switching apps"? I still have to take some active input to change the screen. What is so hard about using alt-tab?
What's the next fad going to be? Big rigs? Are we going to se idiots driving around 1000hp diesel trucks with 15 speed gearboxes and no trailer? Of course it will have 36" chrome rims too....
I know the mil. has had auto landing and take off tech for years according to popular science. I know com. airlines have autopilot on most big planes. I just figured that it there was more of a political reason than a tech. reason why pilots haven't been entirely automated. I'd rather have a trained human "flying" my aircraft, but it may be faster/safer/cheaper to have a computer do it. The big reason that I've heard that we will always need pilots is if anything happened midair the pilot could either fix it fly around it recongizing that the incoming data from his instruments couldn't possibly be true.
Actually, I've always wanted an autopilot for my car. I'd feel alot safer if there was a dependable/safe/cheap autopilot for cars. Most car accidents are caused by human error. I'd love to prevent human error from my car.
The state where I live in even requires for these little metal signs to be mounted on the outside of my car with a unquie identifier! Can you believe it? There is a law that I have to have a little sticker on it, which I have to pay for every year also! Am I just renting my vechile from the goverment? I also heard that the Federal Government requires a unquie SN on each an every vechile made! That number is printed on parts all over your vechile and hidden from view.
I don't know about you, but I don't have much faith that I have ever had any privacy while in a vechile on a public road.
Oh, great this show will either drive space exploration or kill it off until the collective masses forget the show ever existed. If it was a co-ed crew, though they could get funding from the Spice Channel as well.
Stupid parents for letting teenagers have game enabled cellphones. When I was in HS, my bothers wanted pagers/beepers. They got them. Mom treated them as recall buttons. She'd let them roam, but when she wanted them back, she'd page each of them. IF they didn't call her right then, no more pager.
I could understand GPS enabled pagers for teenagers, but what parent would want to let a teenager have a glorified gameboy phone?
This was meant for businesses not individuals. I wouldn't be surprised if 2 rules gets implemented that state: 1 Only those entities that release these chemicals may own these allowances. 2 Once the entity releases 0 amount in their pollution emission, the allowance will automatically revert back to the governmental pool.

It really makes me sad when, if people don't understand something they assume it's advanced technology.
All technology that you don't know how it works or can explain the basics to some one else is magic to you. As far as I'm concerned, TV's, radios, and anything powered by electricity is magic. I know basicaly how old style lightbulbs work. I don't know what is happening in intergrated circuits that are in just about everything now. I'd like to know, but it is difficult unless you are the engineer at the company that built the product. Take a part a few kids toys that just make different sounds, you'll find where the battery goes, the buttons, and one IC board. I'd love to know what goes on it there and explain it to my kids, but to me and them it is magic.
Uh, you want to be secure from US monitoring? Build your data pipes outside the US! The NSA and CIA are a spy agencies. Duh. If you are in a foreign country, I'd say sure my US spies should monitor everything that they can about you. As long as they aren't doing it domestically, I'm fine with it.
Yes, but RIAA and the MPAA are four letter private orginzations. Unlike the 3 letter government departments with multi-billion dollar budgets for the public good, the RIAA and the MPAA are funded by corporate taxes for the corporate good. Although the corporate volatary taxes could be high, share holders wouldn't stand for it.
t's worked out fantastic for the sellers of sex toys as well, eliminating the barrier to entry for customers that would be averse to buying the double ended... at a retail outlet.
These products are not available in my area! These products should be available to all the masses, now. I think Wal-mart should have a lane devoted to these items just so the masses, such as I, won't have to drive, uh umm,30 mins away to that "special store" or use mail order just for "toys" to play with the wife.
We just need a few things. 1. A dual use bike. Primary purpose transportation, secondary purpose energy generation. 2. A perfect pair of clothes that we could always wear and not have to worry about washing. 3. A perfect PDA (Ha yeah right.) that recharges by the bike, has 1 Pentabyte of storage, uses color E-ink that uses electricity only to change the screen and is able to view all current human knowledge. 4. A perfect tent that would keep 1 person alive and confortable. 5. Directions to the nearest food storage center.
Actually, modern and well repaired are 2 entirely different things. I could care less if our infrastucture was 10K years old as long as it was kept up and did the job. From everything that I've read, it was a few little things here and there. Why replace our whole electric grid when a few targeted improvements could prevent this from happening?
Oh, yeah I forgot, if some one got a $80-$100 Billion Federal Contract to rebuild the grid, there would be lots of busy work to be done.

You should move out of Michigan or work to change the laws if you don't like them.

Now, we know what the media format for the PS3 will be.

Won't work. IF we implemented this solution, there would be no drivers period.

What do they need that for on a phone? That's what chat rooms are for!

Hey, all Bush has to do to make sure he wins, is fire Ashcroft. (It won't happen.) I believe if Bush is defeated it will be because of Ashcroft.
