Get a copy of any "Rachet & Clank" game, then implement many of those ideas. They may not actually help, but it would be entertaining for the rest of us.
It would be simple to create a device to handle half of the work parents do while driving, Most of it is available in greeting cards. A simple device that can be set up behind the drivers seat that automatacally says "No, we're not there yet", "Quit kicking the back of my seat", "Stop touching your sister", "Should I turn this car around", "There's an empty soda bottle back there, use that".
Mensa and testing agencies have been making it clear for a couple decades now that IQ only measures your ability to take tests.
While that's strongly correlated with general intelligence, it means nothing specific for a specific individual.
What be you talking about now. I be having real good IQ scores, everybody says so and that I am the smartest person they knose. I do bestest in english, but I am also gooder in math too. My friend, he says that he told me about how better I am then anybody else, and my mommy, she says the same thing. They all wants me to writer a book for telling others so thay can get smarter like me. I thinks that I should takes time off from righting software documentation, and use the monies that I's is going to be getting for helping me transfer money from the Nigerian presidents only remaining son into our country.
USA doesn't have presidents. They have president-like spokespersons.
Obama isn't the president, his teleprompters are. Without them, he cannot talk. Watch his speaches, and play the teleprompter ping-pong game. From the way he tracks the teleprompters, figure out which side earns a point. I wouldn't make a drinking game out of it, because alcohol poisoning is a very bad thing.
I guess that B&N saw the Spring Design thing that looked a lot like the kindle, and that made them design something that looks a lot like the kindle. So, Spring Design has the copyright/patent on ebooks that looks like the kindle? Maybe Amazon should have patented "ebooks that look like the kindle".
One of my biggest complaints with the Kindle is Amazon's insistence that it be locked down and only do what Amazon wants it to do.
You mean the inability to load your own text, html, or several other file formats? Oh wait, it already does all that.
Or are you talking about loading your own operating system into it? I hope you put the same restrictions on your TV, Microwave oven, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.. It's built to be an appliance, not a laptop. The hardware is designed for long battery life, not the ability to be a PC. The selection of programs are designed to sleep most of the time, which gives it the necessary battery life. If you want a PC, buy a PC. Why must everything be designed to be a PC? Shouldn't you also insist that your vacuum cleaner be user programmable or you will refuse to buy it?
No need for nightmares. Africa isn't going to split up. It's just another one of those Godzilla type monsters breaking free. It should head over to Japan before starting its killing spree, with atomic bombs being dropped on it all along its path. Nothing to worry about at all.
We should send explorers to go there, and plant a flag claiming the land in the name of our emperor (the reborn Jesus, Abe Lincoln, Malcom X, Michael Jackson, etc.) in the middle of the largest village we can find, just like our European ancesters did.
I thought all these things went TO Japan, not from it. you know, Godzilla, Mothra, etc. Have thay gotten pissed off enough that their sending out their own Transpacific Unity Fiber Optic Cable? Couldn't they have thought of a better and shorter name, like Transpa? It sounds like it doesn't even have atomic breath. What kind of a cheap monster is this, anyway?
Hey, it's MUTANT kudzu that you're planning on feeding the goats. If you do this, you're going to end up with MUTANT goats! Just think of the problems you'll have with a MUTANT spider-goat. Goat tracks all over your ceiling, not to mention all the goat-silk splattered all over the walls. The cleaning bills alone would be enormous!
Meanwhile, 36K acres to power 150K homes? Doesn't a nice nuclear plant only need 100 acres or so to provide power that same number?
Yes but there's a big difference in how those acres are occupied. One is sparsely occupied by the windmill towers, the other is a field of impermeable ground cover.
Just saying. More nuke plants too please.
One was 100 acres of farmland, amd the other was 36K of farmland. Now it's Chinese vegetables for dinner.
The observed time between the events could represent a much wider differential thanm the.9 seconds. If the faster photon starts at the begining of the 'ka', and the slower one starts at the end of the 'boom', with the faster particle passing the slower one sometime during the 7.3 million years, then you have a possible difference of (0.9 + 2.2 + 0.9) = 4 seconds. What is the expected time differential expected if the speed is based on wavelength?
What about the investigative journalism that revealed the existence of the so-called "torture memos", or the secret CIA prisons, or the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program, or the neglect of injured veterans at the VA?
What about the "investigative" journalism that suddenly brings up quotes from Rush Limbaugh from many years ago that everyone has missed all these years (because he never said them)?
What about the "investigative" journalism that found military papers from the 1970's about George Bush, that were typed up using Word 2003?
How about the way all of these journalists will all suddenly come up with an unusual word to describe someone, like gravatas? It's almost like they all receive their stories from one source.
What you call "investigative journalism", I'd call propaganda. It's amazing how they can be so one-sided in their hatred, and still claim to be independent. How can you believe anything these people say?
Note how many basic grammar errors you find, assuming you yourself are clueful enough to do this.
Our local paper is so advanced, that they can hyphenate the word "the". They can continue an article in a four page section on page 12. And the articles are only three or four days after it's been reported on the internet. They also run the same article twice on the same page, the only difference being the title. They have recently replaced their presses, so the number of pages has been reduced with an increase in price.
For some reason, their subscription rate has been going down, and nobody can figure out why.
The problem is that newspapers have been replaced already, by fanatic left wing radical publications, and people just aren't intrested in it. I can surf around the internet, and by choosing several sites, getting a fairly wide view of what's going on. Or I can read a newspaper and find out how wonderful Obama is, how evil the US is, how the constitution should be discarded, and that the US should switch to socalism, with government ownership of most businesses. If newspapers want me to buy them, they should print news that I'm intrested in, not government propoganda.
According to the news reports, if a single molecule of plutonium gets lose, it is likely to kill at least 10,000 people. Are they sure that they won't accidently drop any plutonium molecules, wiping out all life on Earth, and leaving the barren planet available for take over by our alien overlords? You know those science news reporters never exagerate things, like this or global warming. We should all just sit under our desks for protection against this threat, like we were taught as kids.
Is this build around the idea that if you speak slowly enough, the other person will understand you? Is it just converting speach read in, into a Captain Kirk mode?
I'd guess it's worries about patents, partners, and other politically related things. Closed source makes it harder to claim patent infringement, when such things as xor and swinging side-to-side are allowed to be patented.

much as zombie stories arise today from a plausible fear of Republicans
Republicans, you say?
"Hooooooooooooooooooope... Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange...."
Universal Health Careeeeeeeeeeeee
Globallllllll Climateeeeee Changeeeeeeeee
It's all George Bushes Faulttttttttttt
Use my mop. It's a soviet mop.

They could use if as a location for a live FPS game. Americas army with live ammo!

If MS included this in Windows, you'd never get to see the login screen because the CPU would be so busy fixing bugs.
But after UCLA typed the 'l' and the 'o,' the 'g' caused a memory overflow on the SRI IMP
ok, here goes:
1. Imagine a beowulf cluster of these.
2. Does it run Windows 7?
3. Does it run Linux?
4. ???
5. Profit
In the beginning, I wonder if they ever thought that 90% of the bandwidth would be consumed by fake viagra ads and Nigerian scams?

Since Windows uses the network stack from bsd (or used, once infected always infected), be sure to include the $699 you need to send to SCO.
