  1. Re:Back to the Future moment on Apple Patents Glasses-Free 3D Projector · · Score: 1

    Same thing happened to me in a Korean electronics mall. The shop was actually closed, the TV was behind the shop window, and the image appeared outside the shop. And the first thing I thought of was that scene from Back To The Future II.

    Or you are just from a sick country. In Australia, pics of small-breasted women of any age are considered child porn... even if they're clearly like 35 or something.

    Remember when Google won us all over with their simplistic no frills search results?

    I wonder if he just laid down on a skate board with a lot of road in front of him, could he take off?

    I've tried that but it doesn't work. You'd probably need some kind of jetpack or wingsuit in addition to the skateboard.

    I don't understand how you can rely on a company 'guarantee' as proof of anything.

    Even without hitting it, it's close enough now that when you take a bank or exchanger's rates into account, you end up with less AUD than USD if you're doing an exchange. eg. I bring 10,000 USD to Aus now and only get 9,800 AUD. Sucks for people earning in USD like me.

  24. Re:Before anyone says it: on Segway UK Boss Dies After Driving Off Cliff · · Score: 0

    I intend to manufacture it and have it make me wealthy. Instead it kills me. This is irony.

    I disagree, on the premise that being wealthy wouldn't be classed as any kind of opposite to being killed. So, I'd think it more ironic under either of these circumstances:
    a) He intended for it to save his life, and instead it killed him, or
    b) He intended for it to make him wealthy, and it made him poor.

  25. Re:Before anyone says it: on Segway UK Boss Dies After Driving Off Cliff · · Score: 0

    Please look up the definition of irony before posting anything with that particular word in it.

    (This especially includes all Sheryl Crow fans)

    Ironically, you probably meant Alanis Morissette.

    Maybe not, because ironically, Ms Morissette's song about irony has many things in it that aren't actually ironic: "It's like ten thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife". That's not ironic, unless maybe you're a knife-thrower or have some other history that indicates you're more likely to have knives than spoons. That song has probably caused untold millions of people to incorrectly believe they know what irony means. I've even seen ignorant school teachers pull it out as an example. Curse you AM.
