  1. Re:Dynamic pricing on Wireless Shopping Carts Run Windows CE · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm... As long as they know you're coming, let them get your groceries and have them ready when you get there. Waiting by the curb. I think this is already being done with robotic "pickers" in more of a warehouse/factory type setting with bins and conveyor belts but they also deliver. Pricey. Maybe a regular 'Kroger' type store could pay the laid off baggers to wear roller blades and do the 'picking'? I'd pay extra if I never had to set foot in the store.

  2. Re:I'd like to see... on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: 1

    From the fine print:

    "Methodology Note: NPD MusicWatch Digital information is collected continuously from the PCs of 40,000 volunteer online panelists, balanced to represent the online population of PC users. NPD's MusicLab survey was fielded in September of 2003 to a representative sample of 5,000 respondents aged 13 and older."

    Volunteers, they wouldn't lie.

    "One of the first subcommittees will examine establishing methods for tweaking software applications so that they can take advantage of 3D screens. Hardware input-output specifications will be the subject of another subcommittee."

  5. and you hear music or voices on Geminid Meteor Shower · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here's a way to hear it even if you can't see it.

  6. Re:Good Pancreas vs. Bad Pancreas on Amelia Earhart Mystery Solved? · · Score: 1

    No way. That's the remains of the planet killer, doobie shaped thing that almost ate the Enterprise in 'The Doomsday Machine' episode. The rust spot is the remains of the shuttle-craft Decker rode to his grave!
