  1. Certainly on Lifetime Careers in IT? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We have a few lifers, and they're always the source of plenty of good information. Don't have to know the latest languages to be good at thinking about how things work.

    Not me though. I'm going to claw my way to middle management and worry about TPS reports.

  2. Re:Nicola Tesla on U.S. Air Force Developing Microwave Weapon · · Score: 1

    Here's a page on Tesla's gun, supposedly used by the Russians. They also were rumored to have built a larger, ground-based Tesla construct, don't recall if it was a weapon or a source for extracting energy or communication through the earth or whatever.

    Take it with a huge grain of skepticism.

  3. Re:Nice concept on Peephole Displays · · Score: 1
    Nice concept, but I wouldn't want to use it in a bus or such. It real life it would crave some sort of gyro to detect movement. Imagine a bus rounding a corner and the text compensating by scrolling. At least it would serve as amusement to the fellow busriders.

    Wouldn't be a problem. Simply have a button on the device to put it in "virtual window mode". In a unstable environment only toggle it when needed, in a stable environment just leave it on.

    Interesting technology.

  4. Data on Drives on Data Mining Used Hard Drives · · Score: 2, Funny

    Was it Pete Townshend's drive?

  5. Re:CRASHED Exo-skeleton Flying Vehicle on Buy Your Very Own Exoskeleton Flying Vehicle · · Score: 2, Informative
    The whole story as told from the SoloTrek perspective is on their web site.

    It was already detailed in a previous article here.
