  1. Re:Woo-hoo. Or not... on Download Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Google Brains will have Bill's grey matter indexed so you can run scenario queries: "What would Bill's brain do?"

  2. How is are they supposed to track the glasses! on Another Beer Please · · Score: 1

    So great, assuming this system actually works, you have 5000 glasses in a bar, some on tables, some behind the bar, some in the dishwasher, and some new in the stock room.

    How are you supposed to track which glasses are actually in use. And you'd need to de-activate them when the patrons leave?

    That's quite the system that's going to be required if each glass needs a bar code in the bottom and someone to scan it and associate it to a table for each purchase!

  3. Re:Skip back 8 seconds on TiVo For Radio? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Exactly, this is the application that I would pay extra to have integrated into my vehicle. Once you have a Tivo, it's amazing how much you take for granted that you can just rewind every input stream in life.

    Missed the weather for today, where the cops had radar set-up, whatever, just rewind and listen again.

    As far as a season pass feature and recording programs to skip commercials, I don't know if I'd be willing to manage this from my car, but it would be a neat add-on for an iPod.

  4. GPRS Suppository on The Wristphones are Coming · · Score: 2, Funny
    The GPRS Wristphone is just the next evolutionary step towards the ultimate personal communication device, the GPRS Suppository.

    This sleek cylindrical object requires no physical interface elements since all your needs are covered with built in Bluetooth, GPRS, and wireless power.

    The GPRS Suppository is also an intimate personal area router, supplying Internet connectivity to your various hand held devices.

    At last, self-conscience individuals everywhere will be free of the uncomfortable feeling of wearing Belt-Clip and Wrist-Based mobility products!

  5. Re:OT, may the mods have mercy on my karma on High Density CDs · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, the 5 1/4"...

    Didn't everybody just drill a hole through that black plastic front and install a switch to defeat the write protect switch inside?

    I guess my Ti-Book is too thin to install a toggle switch to get my CD player to support the 1.4GB format :-)
