I don't really feel stupid. I'm really enjoying my PSP. I totally gave up on my gameboy, AND i love HOMEBREW. Changing backgrounds, movies on the go and mp3 capabilities are just icing on the cake. I was really disappointed with how cheap the DS felt and how big it was after the SP. The DS seemed like a huge dinosaur, with two differently functioning screens. I guess maybe the DS 2 will be smaller and have two touch screens:)
Actually the mechanism is based on a binary 28bit set of discs. So even if its gummed up a bit, it'll be a zero or a one. The magazine discussed this. I wonder if mice even live at the site they picked out.
I suppose if all cars came eqiupped with such a device from the factory, and it had gps, satellite radio, navigation, lojack, a nice color screen, Dvd playback, and all those fancy things. Perhaps it might be worth the 'savings', especially if you could disable it.
How long until the police get to use these things against you. "According to your widget here, you just drove 8 miles, while exceeding the posted limit by no less than 6 miles per hour on average. "
One day we'll all have to ride in automated cars, just to get around all the idiot drivers, intoxicated drivers, car insurance, super strict laws, and it'll just take the fun out of everything.
Buddy of mine was just in iraq for 9 months, and he just got lasik, and he's still hanging out in his barracks waiting to go to afganistan with the army.
They almost harvested my Dad. They decided he was too far gone, from head injuries from a motorcycle accident (he was wearing a helmet). The doctors thought that he would make a great donor, he wasn't that old, and all of his vital organs were intact save for his lungs which were full of blood. They asked my mother to sign the waiver tht would allow them to harvest all of his organs. Outraged she refused to sign the paper work, and because of her refusal they actually took my father to surgery, and actually practiced proper medicine, rather than jumping the gun, and hacking off chunks of my dad to give to others.
So HELL NO I'm not going to put that crap on my drivers license. Lest I be part of the.. "Ooh this one looks hard, lets just harvest the organs" crowd.
Just so you know that was 5 years ago, and while my dad isn't 100% what he was before he's not really that bad off, he has some issues with some air trapped in his head (can't dive, or pilot, or drive) that gives him headaches. He also has some scarring but his facial hair covers most of that, and he also has some dental issues he's getting taken care of.
Just be careful what you wish for, its all fine and good to use organs belonging to those who are dead, but whats to say you won't be harvested while you're alive. If you have that endorsement on your license, they don't have to ask, they just DO IT. My Dad didn't have the endorsement on his license, and its a good thing he didn't.
The gryphon riding looks really cool. Another thing that seems rather inventive is the death system, where upon your death you become a ghost and wander/go resurrect yourself.
That seems interesting to me, and it'll be fun to see mountain giants from UNDER their nose, rather than from DOWN their nose.
It seems to look good, I'll have to get the game before I can tell any more really.
If they'd have gone with "Ex-Box", they would have gotten sued instead of doing the suing. This way, it doesn't sound unsafe like a vapor box or even vapor console would. I mean, don't you see people putting water in it to see the vapor?
Forget the glasses, get some contact lenses that overlay the information on top of everyday objects, flat peices of wall, side walk that sort of thing.
Then use the Eye Toy as an example, and you can use your hands to interact with the 'air', perhaps even your eye lids/eyes as interface option. Then we would have computers that could be carried personally without it being that cumbersome.
Heck with enough computing power, and some contact lense displays you could get infrared night vision, thermal vision, magnification, highlighting of objects you choose think google toolbar here(find fruitloops..scannning, scanning, and found, bright shiney glowing box of fruitloops!). All overlaid on come contacts via your 'collar' computer. Sounds good.:)
As always go for the name brand, or high quality parts, when performace is a necessity. Goes back to the problem with government stuff, the lowest bidder always gets the contract and they tend to buy the cheapest parts.
I must admit I'm very happy they managed to get something back from spirit. I hope they get the little guy running again. Hopefully when we get to the martian surface the astronauts won't have to trip over the dead carcasses of many dead rovers.

At least at NASA the backseat drivers are qualified enough to give criticism.
If NASA failed this driving test it would be huge waste of resources. How could they ever live it down? Imagine the headline:
"Rover drives off the side of ramp, breaks off two wheels, and a solar panel."
And the story afterward!
"Felix Milton man in charge of rover navigation watched in horror as the picture feed reached earth. "The rover wheel slipped off the side of the ramp due to some... er.. martian dust," Milton reported. All in all the rover took a five meter trip, and then reported fell 25 cm to the unforgiving martian ground. NASA spokesmen report the trip took 8 agonizing minutes to reach its conclusion. "
Ahh well I hope its fun for them, expensive remote control toy if you ask me. I hope we get solid answers for the questions this project was sent to investigate.
Sometimes, a child is more demanding than you would think. I have a 4 month old. Some days I go without showers and without food because I'm so busy taking care of her, and keeping her entertained.
I'd much rather hear that a parent let their child watch some TV, so they could catch up and take care of themselves. Some of us aren't well enough off to have a wetnurse, and for two parents to work full time jobs.
Out of all the bond gadgets I prefer the Lotus' alarm system. There is a sticker on the window that says "this vehicle is protected by a security system." This cannonfodder in an arab getup, just laughs and procedes to break the window with the butt of his gun. The car promptly explodes.
Q is angry reprimands Bond, and reassembles the car.

Why not?
I think bigger, and more efficient batteries are on the horizon.
Make a book or a movie out of it. (Remember the "lets get ready to rumble song"?) Then when they "STEAL"it, you can sue for damages.

She's Dead Jim. Jim, She's Dead. Dammit Jim I'm a doctor not a .....
RIP Deforest Kelley.
but why the hell does it have to be so big and so expensive? You'd think in this day and age that it would be able to do this job and be much smaller.

If they started at .95 cents a share and went to 16.00 a share...
I that takes them from $113,050 invested to 1.9 million, in return. Dang, if I had the 113k to invest eh?
