  1. Re:My Uncle made an elevator on Vacuum-Controlled Elevator Developed · · Score: 1

    Or add a booster (pump) to increase the water's supply pressure.

    I'd run mine with the mechanical output of a tap-driven hydraulic-motor. Obvious, right?

  2. Sooner than you think... on Towards Self-Replicating Rapid Prototypers · · Score: 1

    Till they can run their own refinery, why don't they just integrate with the environment like everybody else?

    I suggest auctioning themselves on e-bay for money to by parts. ABILITIES REQUIRED:

    • Assemble themselves from parts.
    • Pack a box.
    • Print a mailing label.
    • Pickup and dropoff at the front door.
    • Buy and sell on-line.

    Of course that's just one possible solution.

    Haven't you heard? Corporations are people.

  4. Re:Oh Canada! on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    "They" would be using the biblical definitions of "gay" and "moral". (see Sodom and Gomorrah)

    I'd imagine you knew that already, Prince o' Light. (Can I call you that?)

  5. Re:Yes, you are sorry, Bro on Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America · · Score: 1

    Actually, if 350 tons of previously well monitored explosive can disappear, who says their weren't also really an unknown number of WMD's that also slipped away?

  6. U-bid, O-STEP, or Republic of Music Consumers? on DRM and Threat Analysis · · Score: 1

    I agree that it's about time for a different means of producing and distributing content. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Have a peek!

    <stream style="conciousness">
    Seems like a few new online business ideas might work as a replacement for the current artist support structure... Group bidding might be a valid alternative to the current method of supporting artists. How 'bout reverse auctions for recording time? Online voting for contract (re)negotiation?

    While we're voting we could even vote for recording representatives to work directly with musicians. Hmmm, if we can democratize the world, maybe it's time for a "Music Declaration of Independence" and matching "Music Constitution" and "Music Bill of Rights" -- this may be going too far!

    Anyway, what if future musicians could compete online for your bid? With enough people willing to pay a reasonable amount, it seems the results could be acceptable to the bidders, artists, and support structure.

    Being a luke warm body, I'm not really ambitious enough to do anything about it right now. Best of luck to ya!
