  1. Re:Good and badGood and badGood and Bad on Contactless Credit Cards · · Score: -1

    But with requiring a PIN, you won't get people who have found cards or receipts and try to use them. I think a PIN is a good idea.

    what about ice storms???

    That's a stupid franco thing

  5. Re:How hard is helicopter AI control? on Micro-Helicopter Fun · · Score: 0, Interesting

    if you look here near the bottom you will find a "Headinglock Module" for the helicopter. What it does is memorizes the last direction the copter was flying in, and in case of interference from wind or something it automatically corrects. This allows you to concentrate more on other aspects of flying.

    We have it in Quebec as well. They give out the CD's for free and the tickets are $4 each.

  8. Re:usefulness? on Build Your Own LCD Bus Schedule · · Score: 0

    In montreal, its the best. Each and every stop has a telephone number for every line that stops there. When you call that number you get the next three times that the bus will stop there. And I find that the buses follow the schedule pretty good.

  11. Solution on UC Irvine Cracks Down on P2P · · Score: 0

    Someone might have mentionned this, but I'm lazy. This happened at my university. They slowed down traffic on all ports except 80 to a crawl. Then I discovered a nifty little program called Http-Tunnel. It acts as a proxy server that routes your traffic through port 80, through their server and out to the internet. If you want good speed, I would recommend paying the 4.99 for a month...definitely worth it.

  17. Re:Shall we unleash the Kitty?, YES! on DARPA Project Babylon: Universal Translator · · Score: 0
    (P.S. - get a load of that logo at the bottom of the page!)

    I personally think the logo (saved here for the lazy) is actually quite interesting. I am quite surprised to find that they would link a translation program with the WTC attack. I'm not really sure if they go together.
  18. Re:where's the positive stuff? on Historic Bucky Dome Needs Help · · Score: 0

    the big dome in montreal for expo 70 was awsome; it too fell into disrepair.

    Actually, it was Expo 67 and the dome has been reopened as a Biosphere. It houses displays concerning mostly water pollution and stuff like that.
