There's been "social aspects" from the begining on online gaming. Later, Compuserve with Megawars and chatrooms, message boards, etc. Unless they've got some new kind of teledildonics hardware, it's been done before.
Cool. I hope anyone who gets one of his cartoony phone call rants is set up to record the call and (local laws permiting) toss it up on a web site for all to enjoy.
The first time I entered their site, I got a long disclaimer about how they weren't reporting in an open procedure and investing in their stock was extra risky and you have understood and agreed to this [click here].
It was in Flash so I couldn't copy/paste the text or even the graphic. The next time I entered, to read it closer, it never appeared, so obviously they're setting a cookie. I'm too lazy to delete the cookie, and figure out a quick way of copy/pasting the text for review here. Anyone have any bright ideas? (Maybe holding down the shift-key?:)
Now there's a way to get rid of radioactive junk: Turn it into glass crystal collectables. Somebody like the Franklin Mint could shift tonnes of it.. hmm.. I wondered how they made the warp nacelles look good on that Enterprise model.
If they kept the temprature down to 1700C or so, they could get as high as 65% lead oxide, but that kind of defeats the purpose of vitrifying, don't it?
Another link with detailed information on how radioluminescent paint works. Check this:
At that time, at least in the US, radioluminescent paint saw little application. It stayed in the bottle. But in Europe, especially Switzerland, things were different. Quoting Ross Mullner "there were so many radium painters in that country that it was common to recognize them on the streets even on the darkest nights because of the glow around them: their hair sparkled almost like a halo."
I love the trademark names for this stuff Undark, Luna and Marvelite (Shazam!)
You can mix in zinc sulfide (and probably other materials) to get a glow from radiation. It's not going to reduce the time of decay at all or the amount of radiation by much.
Since they mix the material with soil to form the glass, maybe they should use soil from a place where it's been contaminated by lead? (Safe storage and toxic cleanup, bonus!)
Glowing glass spikes would be even cooler than lava lamps. (Yes, you'd have to mix stuff in to get the glow.) And they'd last for generations of stunted mutant troglodytes with no use of fossil fuels--talk about your green power!
Nice. A couple things he might look into are: a hard drive interface. IDE is pretty simple to talk to if you don't get too fancy. A few parallel ports, and a little logic. (Roll your own DOS.) The other thing is SmartSockets from Dallas Semi. (I think they still make them.) Slip one in socket under a SRAM chip and it provides battery backup and time/date. (They have other chips that are better if designed in from the start. These are for quick retrofitting.)

I wonder which "social aspect". Real life fights, stabbing and shootings?
But in those other subdivisions, all the houses are weird!
Got your locusts right here and here. As for plagues, aren't we being smote by cellphones?
colspan="2" huh? Thanks, I wouldn't have thought to use that on my new pages. I'll get right to work.

Oh? Got a link? (It seems almost like something they'd write on the Counterweight Continent.)
Damn! I bet that there would be a "fricken lasers" comment within eight top level posts. 13th? Unacceptable!
Does that hold true for the Barton 2600+ as well? (I'd RTFA, but /.'ed.)
The problem with code size is that it's not only out of hand, it's accelerating. "For the want of a nail, the kingdom was linked."
Thanks! It's even worse than I remembered from a quick scan. Just this alone would make me want to Run Away, Very Very Fast.
Ewww! Don't touch that CEO, you don't know where he's been!

They never thought of anyone bypassing their malware that way. As has-been Elvis impersonators, they're naturally shiftless.
Why volunteer? Just haxor the flash-rumples.

There's someone who's done DIY duct tape? That I'd like to see!

I guess I'd better patent a 'networked' set-top 'media center' on the Internet!
Maybe they could perform to ASCII StarWars? (Last I looked, it wasn't finished yet. Details!)
