    Gah; because he's a Brit! Most of you lot came from Europe, and you were the ones who changed the number system to make one thousand million into a billion, instead of the proper deffinition which goes in line with how the rest of math is worked - One Million Million = One Billion

  5. Re:They aren't doing this because of the RIAA... on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    And what about the costs of the suppliers? How much did the guy who served you and the 150 other people who got those files from him pay? And what about the Kazaa users who are too stupid to know about the whole sharing thing, and leave it in there systray, not knowing it's not dead and sharing half a dozen movies, and a dozen mp3 albums.. Could get nasty

  11. Re:Stop it already!! on The Dangers of Nanotech · · Score: 1

    Somone seeing how fat your ass is on the phone? Hrm.. Sorry, that sounds remarkabally like 3G - Oh, what you say? It's already released in Japan?

    Nanotechnology has always fasinated me, at 12 I was signed up for many mailing lists on the subject, yes I can see aplications, but no, I do not think we are anywhere near creating something so complex yet - Emphasis on yet.. See your fat ass on the phone analogy..

  12. Re:Translation for the thin skinned on Slashback: Scramjet, Golden Ears, Preciousness · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Jeez people; the US is not perfect.. This is not an anti-US comment, merely a point.. Look at the disasters NASA has had.. Ya know, big boom, dead astronouts?

    Just because it came from the US, doesn't mean it's automatically gonna be flawless.. Maby it wasn't a perfect design, maby it got damaged in transit, who knows..

  13. Security Field on A Computer Display in Ordinary Sunglasses? · · Score: 1

    A good market for this could be security. Combine a HMD with some form of wearable PDA or 'small' laptop (It doesn't need to be anything high tech, a secure strap/backpack), set it up with wireless networking and you could beam images from security cameras to the users sunglasses/goggles. A 'button', 'pad' or custom trackball style device could be used to navigate between cameras. This would be a niche market admittedly, but I'm sure various uses could be thought of for such a device.. Open for thoughts..
