Yeah, this would be great. That way my sister who's doing her residency wouldn't be able to go to movies three out of four weeks a month for which she's on call. It's hard enough for her to have a nice social life as is. Unless doctors could get an exception to the jamming, it would be a bad implementation.
But if you modify cars to _intentionally_ make it easier to rob banks or steal ATMs, then you're assisting people in committing crimes. Even if some folks just use your cars to pull out tree stumps.
But what sort of precision could be obtained by placing several of these on a rigid body? If they all skew one way a correction equation may be applied. If they're all over, an average can get a more precise answer. Not ICBM precise, but quite possibly better than the $100 gyros (their data sheet gives error as rms quiescent noise with units deg/sec, I'm not sure how to convert).
If you aren't burdened with space requirements, it seems a feasible solution. And what american car maker is worried about a small size difference if it saves $10 per car?
One thing I haven't seen is any mention of video drivers and 3d. Does lindows use hw acceleration on anything besides NVidia or 4 year old cards? I'd like to see some Q3 benchmarks. Also can it work with up-to-date tv capture cards? How about the nvidia usb-tv box?
Thus the poster's comment about hoping sgi doesn't let Irix die. The truth is even Solaris has caught up to Irix in terms of usability, 3d speed, and multimedia-ness unless you get a stack of Onyx machines. And the expense of an Onyx is what is driving Irix towards AIX in terms of market size. And we all know IBM is even trying to migrate to Linux over AIX, so why shouldn't SGI with their fewer resources than IBM do the same. And they are. But there are enough Irix diehards (Woot!) that SGI can't just drop it in one fell swoop. Plus SGI hardware does not go obsolete even a third as fast as PCs do.
When Engineer-in-a-Box can:
1) Build me a bridge while compromising with designers.
2) Write me a better 3D physics engine for my new game.
3) Show me where to set the charge to destroy a target best and decide in a short amount of time (blast engineers rule) 4) Make me a better alloy for whatever I'm doing.
Or just change the environment outside of the patients field of view, but not outside of their fov if they were looking down. Their inability to change the point from whence they perceive themselves does not indicate that they are not perceiving themselves.
It'd also be interesting to see what happens if you put a mirror in front of them: "I see me seeing me!". Or a two way mirror, reflective side up: "I see the ceiling! This is so cool!"
And when Sun has their Office Suite monopoly, they'll use their propriety (fully documented) xml file format to force people to use either Windows, Linux, or Solaris forever. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! It's just too dastardly!
God really is trying to moon us. Maybe we should practice asteroid demolition on these things so we are less likely to screw up if there's one coming straight at us.
It's not that they didn't want to avoid record companies for distribution, it's that they tried and got rejected.
I may be old fashioned, but making good friends with as many DJ's as possible seems the best route if mainstreamism is still the desired goal. Putting stuff online will only work well if people already want said stuff. Remember "push" services failed long ago.

As per placement, the submittor could try a heads up display (HUD) system akin to the night vision used by general motors, volvo, and Chrysler. The only other problem with this is how many colors one can display. As far as i know, only green and red work well with HUD, but google turned up nothing about this. But if decent colors could be shown it would solve the placement problem.
Will people see believable, but wrong data if they tilt their head wrong? Will every workstation have a different 'correct' polarized plane? If they did display bogus data on bad planes, how would the government worker know if he saw the bogus data or the stuff he was supposed to be working on?
What if I wrote a library with functions that take flags as arguments? You're assuming all code I use will be open source. Even worse, what if I'm a mantainence programmer (and I am)? Say there's an inefficient block of code which is self-explanatory, but had to be done as such to get around some esoteric bug in a system library. Documentation would allow me not to repeat said bug. And what about complicated algorithms (3d navigation with quaternions)? Should math books remove explanatory text about theories and the derivation thereof because "the code itself is ample documentation"?
Good explanation. Now the $17.99 question, how is it powered? I doubt the photoreceptor can generate enough power from the laser to do all that. Maybe inertia chargers, but I didn't think they were quite that small. Which leaves a battery as the answer, meaning people will have to rebuy these CDs if the battery dies. Or buy a charging "cradle" for the discs.

What's the coolest thing you've ever built yourself? Or, what's the coolest thing you've ever tried to build yourself?

No, more like Redmond.
In other news, blind people have no concept of what a cube is, and planets only observable by radio-telescope have been declared to be mere blobs.

I would be much more impressed if a 2d glass bead were made. No depth to the beads would be mind-boggling and so much . . . deeper I guess.

Where would the librarian get my mortage info from in the first place!?
I guess they'll know now that I borrowed money from the bank to pay my fine on If You Give a Mouse Cookie.

Will they just stay on until the batteries die if light continues to hit the sensors? Will the couch cry if a fat man sits on it and breaks it?

You forgot "Next Page" at the end (times like 16).
