  1. headphone ideas on Sony Ericsson Develops Contact Headphones · · Score: 1

    Does Sony think they have some groundbreaking new way of listening to music here? Very anticlimactic if so. What I think headphones need most of all is to be WIRELESS, also have more controls built in. On my iphone I have pause, skip track, skip back, play etc...how about the ability for voice commands? "play metallica", "shuffle alternative", "create quicklist, metallica, nirvana, alternative, shuffle all". The ability for voice commands might not work with an earbud as its pretty small to carry the weight of a mic while being wireless. However, what if your voice was picked up by some other means? Perhaps from the vibrations created in your head while you speak? Or possibly both headphones work together to gather the sound of your voice by measuring vibrations in between the two of them?

  2. Re:Sigh. on Quebec Says 'Non' To English-Only Video Games · · Score: 1

    Getting back on topic. Look at what this will to experience their culture brings them.....A LACK OF VIDEO GAMES. Among other things i'm sure. The stubbornness to just live life and enjoy life in the country you were born in is only hindering their lives.

    I was born in Canada. I don't agree with all its laws but that's the way it is. BC gets segregated from Eastern Canada byt the people and governemt. Do we try and separate? No. Quebec finds it easier to justify and blinds itself because they have a different language. Even though that same language is what CREATED Canada. Sorry, All the chinese in Vancouver aren't going to be forced to speak ONLY english and all the english speaking people in vancouver aren't going to be forced to speak only French. We live in a multicultural society. Deal with it. And stop trying to put a hole in the country your people helped build.

  3. Imagine One Day on Jacket Lets You Feel the Movies · · Score: 1

    A Camera that is a floating sphere, that records the 3dimensional imagery of everything, the smells, sounds and feelings of everything....

    and one day the recorded data of this sphere is just plugged into your brain.

    I imagine this will happen even before 3Dimensional practical 3D holographic projectors are created.

  4. Best Interface is No Interface on Ideas For the Next Generation In Human-Computer Interfaces · · Score: 1

    Obviously, the best interface is no interface at all. Something that can access a certain level of our thoughts. So we can think LOUDLY of words such as: forward, backward, faster, slower, select, select all, enter. Etc...

  5. Re:Possibilities of a Space Elevator on What Shall We Do With the Moon Once We Get There? · · Score: 1

    yeah i dont get that either...im saying the temperature of space would keep the outer shell of the ice ball frozen and the heating device could have solar panels distributed along the outside of the ice ball feeding electricity inwards to the heating device or devices..

  6. siphoning water out of the ocean.. on What Shall We Do With the Moon Once We Get There? · · Score: 1

    this could also help the crisis of the rising oceans

    lets pack up some water and move some people over to the moon.

  7. Possibilities of a Space Elevator on What Shall We Do With the Moon Once We Get There? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This will give us a means of getting things to the moon. We can just keep a shuttle and park it at the elevator to travel back and forth.

    Imagine being able to siphon water out of the ocean. Have it collect into a giant ice ball and crash that ice ball into the moon. There you have a source of oxygen AND water...

    What if in the center of these ice balls you had a heating device that was solar powered. The heat was distributed JUST enough to keep the center of the ice ball liquid. Thus allowing you to have FISH inside of it. Algae and seaweed inside of it.

  8. Create a habitat on What Shall We Do With the Moon Once We Get There? · · Score: 1

    Find a way to turn moon rock into an air tight cement. So we can bring something up there that we could start building dwellings there. Bring plants and trees and a way to make a fish habitat.

    Can we burrow under the ground there?

    Someone invent a forcefield so that we can keep oxygen in a predetermined area.

  10. Re:For all the rtards out there... on Ben Stein's 'Expelled' - Evolution, Academia and Conformity · · Score: 1

    EVOLUTION is not a theory it is a fact. If you believe that your hair color, eye color, body type from your parents then YOU believe in evolution.

    The only part that is up for debate is whether or not evolution is the only cause of our existence. The only reason this is even up for debate is because no one person has been alive for a billion years.

  11. Hold it a second.. on Ben Stein's 'Expelled' - Evolution, Academia and Conformity · · Score: 1

    So if you believe in creationism the Darwinists will release a herd of Cheetahs on you?? That is just WRONG. Do Darwinists have no morals whatsoever???

  12. Fractal astronomy on Meteorites May Have Delivered Seeds of Life On Earth · · Score: 1

    religious imagery? to me it would appear more like fractal imagery. A pattern in nature is replicated all the way up from a biological viewpoint to an astronomical viewpoint.

  13. Re:Discussed Organic Material in Meteor on Meteorites May Have Delivered Seeds of Life On Earth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I disagree, I find it very interesting. The visual analogy of a sperm fertilizing an egg replicated in life being fertilized on a planet? Beautiful.

  14. Re:Great. on USB 3 in 2008, 10 Times as Fast · · Score: 1

    thanks for explaining that.

    how about CD-Roms and DVD players?

    I use DVDs to back up information now, but if they can make a device that is cheaper or the same price as a DVD but plugs into a USB drive why bother with CD / DVDs?
    I'd prefer to buy our games and music on USB and play it from there. I bet USB doesn't suck as much battery power as a DVD-rom does either...increasing battery life for laptops.

  15. Re:Great. on USB 3 in 2008, 10 Times as Fast · · Score: 1

    as far as I know my computer can't read 4.8 gigs a second. So why not use USB interface instead of IDE? I don't get it.

  16. Re:Great. on USB 3 in 2008, 10 Times as Fast · · Score: 1

    Is it me or isn't 4.8 gigs a second faster than how fast your computer actually reads info off of your hard drive? Why not just have flash harddrives using USB instead of IDE?

  17. Re:An appeal on Creationism Museum Opening in Kentucky · · Score: 1

    so basically 4 paragraphs of loftier words than I have used to say "I AGREE". Thanxabunch smarty pants.

    Look up "DARK MATTER" in the dictionary, it's stated as a theory. Look up "EVOLUTION" it's not.

  18. Re:An appeal on Creationism Museum Opening in Kentucky · · Score: 1

    also, EVOLUTION is not a THEORY its a FACT. If you believe that your son or daughter has carried on ANY of your traits. Then you believe in evolution.

    The question is, did life on earth happen as a resullt of evolution or creationism.

  19. Re:Triumph of Commercialism over Content on Battlestar Galactica To Continue After All · · Score: 1

    Did anything actually happen last season after the first 2 episodes? Nothing that I remember. I was hoping hey would end it, tht way atleast i'd know something interesing was going to happen and not waste my time like last season.

  20. FILMS FOR TV on Lucas To Make New Live Action Star Wars Films · · Score: 1

    would have been better for the title. In this case its old news.

  21. building wormholes on Could Black Holes Be Portals to Other Universes? · · Score: 1

    it would be interesting if we found a way to create a blackhole...like has been posted on this site before. Then we could dump a lot of garbage into it. Nuclear weaponry too. But imagine being able to build wormholes. We could just travel anywhere in the universe instantly.

    Right now we think achieving light speed is impossible but somehow I think we are going to find a way to travel places even faster than light speed. Maybe instantly.

  22. Re:Whats wrong? on Must-Have Extensions for Thunderbird 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I could not get it to work at all. Do you know where to find good instructions for setting it up?

    Is it faster to work with than the actual hotmail website or do you have to wait just as long for everything you do?

    Id love to be able to sort and delete all my damn hotmail someday... i'm waiting for a hotmail client. Or Thunderbird to do it up. Thunderbirds apparently used to work but not anymore..

  24. Couldn't this be tested? on New Theory Links Biodiversity to the Stars · · Score: 1

    Couldn't you recreate cosmic rays or at least elements of them somehow in an environment with small rats or something and see if they evolve / mutate more often? Or is it impossible to recreate cosmic rays?

    This also reminds me that just recently they have found a giant super massive black hole which seems to be the source of mysterious cosmic rays in our universe.

  25. IE vs. WMP on MS Releases New Media Player Firefox Plugin · · Score: 5, Interesting

    could this imply that MS considers Media Player more important than Internet Explorer now? I mean I couldn't really see MS providing apple with a plugin for Quicktime. Is MS getting serious about the media player war...and MP3 players?
