  1. Civilian Uses? on More on Next-Generation Army Gear · · Score: 1

    I too would like to turn into a uber-warrior. I wonder if/when they'll release the suits to the civilian sector. Think of the sports applications! Not only would be 300% more powerful (which means we can be 300% more lazy), but you could be chatting secretly with your teammates on your LAN. Do you REALLY need some gatorade? The suit will tell you when to start quenching!

  2. Re:How about this on DARPA Grand Challenge 2005 Rules Announced · · Score: 1

    You have to complete the course within a certain time frame. Besides the mars rover platform wouldn't exactly handle quick obstacle avoidance at 50 mph. Technically the software in CMU's sandstorm probably could have won the competition. But the poor vechicle had a terrible roll-over 2 days before the competition. This fatuiged many of the mechanical components, and sadly the front axle broke 7 miles into the course. What these teams are doing is on the right track, give them another year or two, and we'll have winners.

  3. Re:The summit of Mauna Kea on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 1

    I'm posting from 14,000' in Canada France Hawaii Telescope's control room right now actually. Yippy for lack of O2!

  4. Re:Initial thoughts.. on Industry Group Would Permit (Some) DVD Copying · · Score: 1

    It's true, the media industry as a whole needs to realize that we live in a global market. Piracy in this case should practically be expected. And yet again we have the authories blaming the obviously satanic (drugs! terror! oh my!) impluses of media pirates for the reproduction of digital content.
