    I'd like to avoid the thinking that everything that could be invented has been.

    It seems a harsh wind can put a scratch on the display.

  11. Re:WTF^3 on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1

    The stat is in the last 17 elections if the Redskins win the last home game before the election then the incumbentpresident wins. If they lose, then the incumbent loses. Hence, John Kerry should win.

  13. windshield wipers on Vehicles of Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    I've always thought that it's really annoying when its just raining a little and I have to keep turning the wiper off and then on again.

    Can't windshield wipers be automatic?

    Although maybe I'm just lazy

  14. Re:Why? on IBM to Open Voice Recognition Software · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because this same plan has succeded in the past. Take Eclipse, IBM donated the framework for improvement by the open-source community and use it to build their prioprietory Websphere package. They don't have to worry about improving the API, just the extra features that make it worthwhile to buy.

    The same scenario applies here.

  19. Re:Slashdot Reader on Birth of the iPod · · Score: 1
    "He must have read all the slashdot comments saying it would fail. Yet another way slashdot can ruin your career."

    Never ever trust the general Slashdot public to predict a successful/unsuccesful product launch for the general public. (period)

  20. Re:It was interesting to note... on Birth of the iPod · · Score: 1

    I agree bluetooth headphones would be great with an iPod.

    I though about this and wondered if I'd leave behind my iPod places since I would still hear music 30feet from where I left it. Then I see myself walking around until I get warmer (clearer signal).

    Just a thought

  23. Re:makes you wonder... on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 1
    It was a game of stealth, speed and cunning, not one of brutal hand-to-hand combat. Evolving into something more muscular and slower was _not_ an option. A small ape twice as muscular still can't kill a tiger with its bare hands.

    Oh Please, I saw Disney's Tarzan. Don't be spreading FUD...

  24. Re:The official release date on Doom 3's Release Date; Quake Turns 8 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Like most things, projects need to find a medium between setting a goal and trying to attain it and keeping quality number one.

    If a project doesn't have a goal for a launch then odds are the project will fail.

    Most who say "When it's done" only mean it to keep the media off there backs. I think most have a good idea of when a release is likely to be.
