They're testing Christmas Music as effective shark repellent. What shark in his right mind would willingly stick around to listen to We Wish You A Merry Christmas.
On the other hand, they may find that Jingle Bells sounds exactly like an injured seal.
Because not too many people find Creationism physically threatening to their way of life. Sure, it may sound stupid and offending, but no one is going to get blown to pieces on a subway over it.
I'm curious - how big does a moon have to be before it's concidered to be a moon? I mean any asteroid captured in orbit around a planet could be concidered one, but do they need to have a spherical shape to be a moon in a sense of the word?
Are we sure it's going forward? I mean, the back end looks exactly the same as the front, so maybe it's going backwards. Perhaps if the monorail was going backwards fast enough, I could actually get to work before I woke up!
Uh, ok. Sure. I'd like to see you carry that sucker around though. I mean, besides the fact that it would have to weigh about 20lbs, be slightly larger that "pocket-sized," and the gyroscopic force would make putting your cell phone up to your ear nearly impossible, I think that would be a fantastic idea. Right up there with the portable-mouse-and-wheel battery
With the huge market for wireless technologies these days, we (the general public mind you) need more and more technical support for our phones, pda's, wireless candybars, or whatever the hell they have simms in now.
The Auburn Wireless graduates would have just about the right amount of education for our tech lines!
Ok, so if they had won, everyone would just replace hyperlinks with raised buttons with the same function. No more hyperlinks. Hehe. Besides, they would have had to try to sue Microsoft since IE is integrated into the operating system.
All [patent law] does now is stifle market growth and create money for lawyers.
Who do you think makes and governs the patent laws?
But I agree that frivilous lawsuits need to be repremanded a bit more strictly.
Something like: Joe Blow sues over burning himself with hot coffee.
Frivilous punishment: Joe Blow's picture is posted in every location of the franchise with the word "RETARD" put over his head and a caption, "Joe Blow burned himself with our hot coffee! What a moron!"
Microsoft Windows is on the vast majority of computers on Earth. Microsoft is catering its operating system to make MONEY. If they were concerned about not releasing a product with holes everywhere, few big, most small, then it would NEVER make as much as it does. So they patch their product (repeatedly), Joe Blow says, "Huh?", installs the patch, and life continues as it did the day before.
If you are really concerned enough about security in the first place, either don't plug in your ethernet cable or don't buy Windows. If you don't use Windows, why the hell are you complaining? You laugh at Microsoft because they have to fix security in their software all the time. Well, I'm laughing at Linux because your line of supported applications and games is comparable to the Mac section in any general computer store on Earth.
Come up with something else to complain about for once. Geez. Open source is great, monopolies are bad. Yipee. Now get off your asses and do something, you know, useful.
If I plug in my printer and set my email client to print every received email automatically, It'll just be a glorified fax machine right?
I currently get at least 75 spams per day. Give or take, I have received on average 12 per day over the last 4 years. Thats about 17,500 spams...
Can I sue for $8.76 million??

Type With Your Eyes

Hmm. As long as it has a cursor "lock" that could keep the cursor still while you read another part of the screen. I can imagine the hassle of trying to read one window and type into another...
Using your eyes to control something that moves, is logical. Using your eyes to control fast keystroke input is almost ridiculous unless you have no other means of control. I should think that being able to point my cusor just by glancing about is a great idea; blinking could control button clicks with possible left eye/right eye combinations.
I also remember an input technology that could be trained to understand brain impulses. Basically a clip over the finger. You think, "Click," and voila. I recall that the device was being used to also control cursor movement, but it was fairly inaccurate. If it could take dictation with a good deal of accuracy, it would be the next best thing since sliced bread.
Is it possible instead to flicker between pixel colors to achieve a bleneded color? I have a TI86 and a grayscale picture viewer that allows up to 4 (or 8, i can't remember which) grayscales by turning pixels on and off at varying, offset rates.
For instance, turn a pixel off (white) for 1 cycle and on (black) for 3 and repeat gives a 75% gray.
Or does Palm have enough power to do that in full color?
Just buy buying an XBox, we're putting Microsoft into a hole! If you want Microsoft to crash and burn, buy as many friggin units as you can. Retailed at $199 now, they'll easily lose $300 in material costs.

If global warming is presumably caused by SUVs, what are holes in the magnetic field caused by? Too many cell phones?
Too many fridge magnets. Now I know why GE decided to make my fridge out of aluminum.

I was in kindergarten when the Challenger exploded on TV. We cheered and thought the special effects were awesome. My teacher didn't think it was.

I guess they don't see the hypocrisy of condemning the capitalist, American way of life by using YouTube as a terrorist training medium.

I take it that the middle of the dvd will be "now" and the chapter after that will be "soon"
So if I skip to the "soon" chapter, will I find out what's going to be on my solid states final?
