the use of some radar like device might come in handy when your looking the other way and the area you thought was clear is now filled with a person going faster than yourself.

i've been axed my times about programming for the game industry. the prestiege, glamor, the public notority. i tell these people that in order to be good a programming games one must, "marry rich".
why is nasa taking on all these projects when others who study these topics are looking for employment?
to me, giving nasa more tasking when they can't even get launch vehicles into space is throwing good money after bad. let'em work out how to get our collective butts into space. if nasa can do that, then the rest of us who study 'other' areas can do our job better. THEN, nasa can be part of a team, not be JUST the team.

m$ has already been convicted of crimes against the state, and the global industry that pays my rent. i have no love for this villan.
but consider the reverse argument. we take your name away from you, and you just go find a name that does not 'threaten' us, or our business? we'll decide if your correct.

why can't 'Last Mile' submit a plan for a 'city driving router', (CDR)?
the CDR would control the accelerator, brake, and steering wheel of all vehicles in the city limits.
if a person wants to use the city's streets, the driver has to flip to the car's CDR mode when entering city limits. BMW has been working on this since 1998, this is not science fiction, its already in beta.

yesterday, at 8:39 a.m. on a busy street corner at 110th street and broadway a 'sting' operation called 'cd freedom' went down badly for the ria**2 legal team, and one mr. don 'no-problem' diego, a small time peddler of recorded cd's.
the 'cd freedom' team approached mr. diego's cd stand and demanded proof of ownership of the poorly duplicated cd's. mr. diego asked if the ria**2 team had a search warrent. a spokes man for the the team said, "we don't need no stinking warrent".
what happened next during the panic and confusion was shocking, if you don't live in new york. the 'sting' team began putting the pirated cd's in a glad 'evidence' trash bag. mr. diego screamed, "pay for the cd's or else!". the ria**2 team began smiling, and laughing. that's when mr. diego pulled out two 9mm glacks's and began shooting at the ria**2 team; between the legs.
all 5 team members suffered superfical wounds in their reproductive areas. mr. diego was interviewed later that afternoon by a local patrolman, officer o'cooner. the patrolman said that mr. diego was given a misdimeaner ticket for carrying a loaded hand gun in city limits, and a sturn warning.
when reporters interviewed mr. diego, all he kept saying was, "i couldn't take it, this was the third time in the last two weeks that someone had stollen his cd's of his rap band 'ny-kenya rap'. just something inside me snapped, i had to defend myself and my stuff, man.

one of the most constructive methods of software project completion is Listening to the ones that will use your product. i didn't say agree, but Listen. the one thing a person can do with open source solutions is change them if required. this remixes the solution to meet the requirement. the other thing that i personally enjoy is that i can email the developer a question, or explination. damn, you can ALWAYS use a product better it someone tells you how your suppose to use it.
its easy to see the bad in ANY type of cloning, for example; there are more horses asses in the white house than horses!

"not working properly with Mozilla is another (you need IE to use it fully in HTML mode)"
1st, the enviornment:
i work with iso-8583 requirements, and a sales staff that wants quick and dirty software demos in under 30 minutes.
i've worked with mozilla for over a year using such things as https, ssi, and perl interfacing to the win32 world. all with success.
2nd, the question(s):
1. what is it that IE can do that Mozilla cannot ?
2. which version of HTML are you working with?
