  1. Re:Now all we need is a ... on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    There already is a remote for these problems. I think they can be found here.

  2. Example email on British Library Starts Email Archive · · Score: 4, Funny

    >>>Light is a wave! I can prove it.
    >> No its not, light is a particle! I can prove it
    > You ninny!

  3. hmm on Can't Draw? You Need The Inkulator 9000. · · Score: 3, Informative

    3D studio max, rhino 3-D (with flamingo) and Maya can do that right in the render. We already have this technology

  4. It has potential on The Conference Bike · · Score: 1

    If it were padded all around, and there were other idential bikes with other riders, it would make one heck of a bumper-bike game.

    >> ...lights up smiling...It lowers inhibitions...it's a party on wheels..
    >Buy a 12 pack and drive around. Same effect

    Eh, for me that wouldn't do it. I'd need to at least drink the beer.

  6. Re:Similarity to another project on 360-Degree 3D Imaging · · Score: 1

    please rtfa. Its NOT a spinning physical screen.

  7. Similarity to another project on 360-Degree 3D Imaging · · Score: 1

    It seems similar, or may even use some of the same technology as http://www.io2technology.com./
    I wonder if in this case, the air ionizer spins instead of remaining stationary.

  8. Re:New addition to the Patriot Act? on Nuclear Batteries · · Score: 1

    I agree, big flying bricks full of fuel.

  9. h to the izzo on BMW Shows Off World's Fastest Hydrogen Car · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hydrogen is great because it can make a long-lasting battery. What we need now is more advancement in solar panels (like the recent /. article using spinach). Our cars may not run directly off of them, but solar panels would help a lot with extraction of hydrogen from water.

  10. Re:It's a dupe... on Not Life After Death -- Email After Death · · Score: 1

    Isn't this comment i'm replying to a dupe? There's the same one at the top!

  11. Interesting on Experiment Cuts Off Online Junkies from Internet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I can relate. Freshman year of college (4 yrs ago) I could't have the internet for historical preservation reasons. I'd been addicted to it before I had to lose it, so it sucked at first. I got better grades, got more work done, made a bunch of friends, went out..., but when I got the net back, even though i was sort of better off without it, mentally I was like "ahhhhhh, i'm connected again"

  12. Re:Alex, I'll take Level 6 for $200 on "Levels" of Computers the Future? · · Score: 1

  13. Egads! on Camera that Sees through Smoke and Fog Underway · · Score: 1
    We could use this to see through murky water!

    Now here are my questions bc I didn't rtfa:
    Will it be able to see through a gas that completely blocks whats on the other side, such as a thick clouds in the sky?
    Will it be able to see through frosted glass and the like?

  14. Very cool on Mechanical Pong · · Score: 5, Interesting

    But with a few more pullys and strings, perhaps they could create 3D pong, which i'm sure is much more playable IN 3D as opposed to simulated.

  15. Oh on Mouse May be Replaced by "Nouse" · · Score: 1


    Btw, I'll be in hell if anybody needs me

  16. Ummm on Mouse May be Replaced by "Nouse" · · Score: 1
    As for the "accidental" porn surfing comments, I think a disabled person's porn experience might go as follows:

    1) Download naughty images
    2) Curse yourself because you can't use your hands
    3) ???

    You just need more fiber in your diet.

    Or Taco Bell

  19. Re:Is it a "phone" anymore? on Samsung Introduces Phone With Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Since it's a device that tries to do everything, maybe we should call them phoneys.

  20. Could this lead on World's First Practical Plastic Magnet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Could this lead to lighter electric motors? Which might make the future of printing products in a personal 3D printer more functional.

  21. Save money on Sharp Mebius Subnotebook Review · · Score: 2, Funny

    I saved a ton of money and bought a M-M-M-Mebius off of Ebay!

    ...to use the wings as circuit boards in the next version? Thats a lot of flat space that might be able to do something else while it twirls.

  24. Re:Finally on Accelerated PowerPoint? · · Score: 1
    Actually, with product design this can come in quite handy. I am a product designer, and "selling" your concept (be it freelance or in-house) is obviously quite important. If your client has difficulty imagining different finishes or even a quick geometry change, this would be quite helpfull for making the changes without haveing to schedule a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th meeting.

    While this can all be done in somewhat realtime with 3D programs like Studio Max or Rhino, It would be more professional to do it in this manner.

  25. Re:Limitations of Solar Sails on Japanese Deploy Solar Sail · · Score: 1
    "Because space is not really empty (one hydrogen atom per square meter, which would add up if you need to travel light years with fully deployed several KM wide solar sails.)"

    AFIAK, that 1 hydrogen atom per square meter is an average of the universe - including dense molecular clouds and stars.

    "that is to fire lasers at the sails to continue powering them past the heliopause, enabling them to continue accelerating past our solar system."

    No laser on Earth would give the sail any decent help compared to our sun (and moon for that matter).
