  1. Re:Crusoe is NOT slow! on Transmeta Needs Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting to see an OQO PC.

  2. Hmmm� on Targeted Advertising Using Digital Set-Top Boxes · · Score: 1

    For my box to know when to switch me over to advertising the content must be flagged. So hack my box to play a nice screen saver when the content flag is reset.

  3. Re:Pointer to a real way around? on Google Mirror Beats the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    Or they could start OCRing images as well and run the output through the same filters as text, HTML, PDF, Flash etc... They could also try to detect excess flesh tones to stop pr0n if they were really nasty

    ;)

  4. Security on Robotic Photographer · · Score: 1

    I can imagine these things wandering around the mall / supermarket or a campus (even in the city if it were weather proofed - although a low flying silent drone would be cooler) taking candid shots of the people it 'sees'. It could be programmed to pay particular attention to suspicious people or loiterers and notify human security staff too.

  8. The usual bitch and whine (was Re:The Plural of�) on Mathematical Lego Sculptures · · Score: 1

    Come on now. There is NO Plural of LEGO® there is ONLY ONE LEGO® and that is the 'Group of companies' that makes the bricks.

    As for the usual argument as to the correct LEGO® terminology check out what LEGO® has to say about it (about 13 parragraphs down 'Proper Use of the LEGO Trademark')

    LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group of companies

  9. Re:Rockets - Nevada - this weekend on Amateur Rocket Heads Into Space · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize that the weather was aware of weekdays.

    ;)

  10. Re:Now if we could just... on Amateur Rocket Heads Into Space · · Score: 1

    If a project like this was to plant a LEO payload then another MIR style amateur radio BBS would be kind of cool.

    Maybe the (project like this') co-ordinators could take people's submissions for payload ideas, then they and/or we could vote on the best and send it/them along also.
