  7. Re:If only I could outlive the R&D on Space Elevators: Low Cost Ticket to GEO? · · Score: 1
    After after having lived in the real world most of my life since that moment of realization, I came to the conclusion that it IS NOT possible.

    ok, i've wiped the tears from my eyes; i'm sure that's not quite what you meant

    yes, a lot sf is pretty dumb. i gave up on star trek a *long* time ago as well. But, how did you get that post up -- send a carrier pigeon to michigan?

    here, read some of these. They're not science fiction (though, sadly, each is quite short) and may adjust your conception of what is possible.

  8. rowed away on Sodium + Private Lake = Fun · · Score: 1

    *really* bad time to tip the boat!

  9. Re:Cameras are inherantly insecure and vulnerable on Turning a Blind Eye to Big Brother · · Score: 1

    it's people like you who are held up as the reason society needs these cameras.

  10. Re:Well, you know.... on Turning a Blind Eye to Big Brother · · Score: 1

    yes, that's quite true. The point being made, however, is that the cameras did not *prevent* the abduction and subsequent murder. Re-read the post.

  24. mod parent up! on Cat Recognition Algorithms? · · Score: 1

    har har! gawd, i wish i was modding right now...

  25. i've been thinking of something similar on Cat Recognition Algorithms? · · Score: 1

    i'm renting, so a cat-door isn't really an option. Usually i just leave a window open, but then i get the whole neighborhood over for snacks.
    I'd like to set up something with finer resolution in order to distinguish between my two cats and any others. I figure one of those super-squirter-water-pistol thingies would do nicely as a deterrent. I've got a nice motorized mount for it. Both my cats are black, so maybe i could work with that. But, now i'm thinking that maybe getting a cat-door and ripping the guts - simple motion-detection triggers query for collar sig. No sig, sudden whirring noise ...
    Could work with those chips that vets will implant for lost-pet identification as well i suppose. Anyone know the protocol used on those?
