    So why not place something like this in the bits of your field of vision obscured by the helmet? instead of having to tilt your head down to read the speedo, you just glance down at the helmet overlay which is beside your right nostril.


    now, the cool bit would be to get it to only come on when you glance down so it doesnt distract you.


    just a random thought..

    i have with me a little RSA key thingy, which switches codes every 60 seconds. this code makes up part of a password that i need to authenticate myself to the work firewall.

    its one time, its constantly changing, and it uses a combination of a static password (my part) and a dynamic password (the rsa key).

    so even if i get keylogged, its unlikelly that someone's going to be able to gain access unless they recact within a very small timeframe.

    unless of course they steal the rsa key AND get my password.

    thats really quite a neat post.

    one problem though, my boss asks me to do stuff all the time, half the time i dont know why, but i do it anyway, which means that technically i share the same amount of self awareness as a computer.

    so which one is sentient again?

    wow, you must be the capitalists poster child..

    so effectively, we should tax the poor and middle classes more, because they after all, are not able to contribute as much to society as those who are rich? over here, its the governments who build things like staidums and roads. its the taxes i pay that go towards building something which is befenficial to society.

    if someone wishes to build a build a building in which he or she will rent out office space to further load their coffers, they should foot the bill, as this is hardly a gift "to society". there is no selflessness in building something with will make its owner money.

    we should be taxing the rich more, and tax the poor less. the rich can at least afford to contribute to society far more than the poor. and by contribute to society im talking about paying taxes to governments who will use that money for what they are suppose to use it for, providing services and facilities to those they govern.

    umm, the packets have to go somewhere dont they? like through my firewall.. which means we can get a pretty damn good look at what it does how it does (assuming it isnt vapour).

    so how long do they really think they can operate before someone provides a 3rd party server? what was that? the sound of a business model rapidly evaporating? its like providing a deadlock, and paying for a guy to stand there beside your door with a fist full of silly putty asking you for a key impression.
