  1. Re:Please no! on Keeping Older Drivers Behind the Wheel · · Score: 1

    you'd need to affix GPS transponders to ever kid, deer, dog, soccer ball, and car so

    No. The idea presented is based around having more sensors in the car itself (LIDAR etc) rather than have external objects transmit their location back to the car.

  2. Question: Science's role in society on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    We have seen a great deal of controversy between science and the religious right in the media lately. What is your view on the role of religion in education, and have you ever thought taking on a religious myth-bust?

  3. Artificial or Augmented? on Wearable PC with an Artificial-Reality Helmet · · Score: 1

    I think Jim Nash has been caught up in the AI hype. Quantum3D is well known for its AUGMENTED REALITY equipment rather than artificial reality helmets.

  4. random? on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 1

    I think a greater point that is being missed in this article is whether these numbers are truely random. If these numbers can predict large scale events, then there is a pattern within the numbers. So are these numbers which are being spat out truely random?

  5. 1mbps wireless connections in Australia on 3G Internet Access Via PCMCIA Card · · Score: 1

    You guys forgot about Iburst and Unwired services in Australia. Upto 1mbps downstream... No reception over 60Km/h

    I've heard the iburst pcmcia card can chew threw your battery though.

  6. Score 1-0 to the black hats. on Slate On Worms That Plug Security Holes · · Score: 1

    Ive thought about it.. and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
    But what happens when someone writes a white knight worm which causes more problems (ie. it restricts other services which require the ports or procedures that the 'good' worm blocks...)

    They may even end up screwing up the chance to use official patches, when they come out.

    Their intentions may be good, but since windows is closed source, itll make it harder to write something that wont cause other harms to a system.

    Leave the security patches to the people responsible(M$) and the worms to the script kiddies.
