  1. True, but... on Wave/Sea Power - What Are the Dangers? · · Score: 1

    when everyone's expecting something to happen and nothing happens that's when it's funny.

  2. The greatest April Fool's joke... on Wave/Sea Power - What Are the Dangers? · · Score: 1

    would be the one where April Fool's is completly ignored.

  3. Re:With the digital computers. on Slashback: Invitation, MIR, History · · Score: 3

    Ya know, I always thought that fingers were the original digital computer...

  4. I would have clicked "read more"... on Interbase And Kylix Details From Borland/Inprise Con · · Score: 1

    You didn't have to force me.

  5. Why bother with an intermediate layer... on Printing Out A New Monitor · · Score: 1

    Human skin has a mild charge... so, howsabout we print directly on that? In SoCal clothes become obsolete... Just think what you could do in tatoos, too... mmm... the ultimate in bio-feedback devices...

  6. Alternatives to a bulky device? on Adaptive Optics May Enable Super-Human Vision · · Score: 1

    Since they map out tiny retinal inconsistencies with this, howsabout they use that data to resurface the retina or whatnot to correct for the problems. I understand that it wouldn't be as simple as the RK stuff... however, I do remember hearing about some condition (I forget the name... naughty me) where the retina sloughs off after a fashon and can be reattached to the back of the eye with lasers. Sort of like spot welding. I'd figure that that would change the topology of the retina so... why not develop something that would change that topology rather than something that reads and corrects for it? Sort of like the step between supplimentary lenses (e.g. glasses, contact lenses) and RK surgery and its brethren.

  7. Stephen King??? on Transmeta Awarded Another Patent · · Score: 2

    Did anyone else notice that the patent
    attourny's name is Stephen King?

    Is this whole thing some kind of cruel
    quasi-technological/horrific hoax?
