    No worries.
    It would just stumble on the definition of "WAR" and be unable to save the human race until Bruce Willis kissed it.

    Maybe they're meant to be worn as hats.

  7. from what i've seen on Fossil/Palm PDA Watch Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I've seen a few people walking around with them, and I have to admit they're GIGANTIC as far a watch goes.
    I can't see the point in wearing one of the first generation if the functionality is so limited vs the size. Never mind the battery life.

    Personally, I hope that a larger form factor watch gains acceptance though, so that a 2 or 3 inch^2 display could be used. (Flex displays?) At that point you might actually be able to use it for something. Chapter of an Ebook while you wait for the bus?

    I think cooler points lean in favour of being able to page a cab, find the time and book a movie ticket when you meet someone (without having to lug around a separate cellphone) - as opposed to worrying about whether someone is superficial enough to dismiss you based on your watch.
    Your shoes however...

    unless of course they're made of roosters not chickens

  9. Painful Characters on Naming Your Character In RPGs? · · Score: 1

    I always name my lead character something along the lines of "MY EYE! MY FREAKING EYE!", so every NPC in the game appears to have severe physical problems whenever they address my character.
    As opposed to my own mental ones of course

  10. old controllers on Kiss You Through The PS2 Chu-Lips · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...and you thought your old Nes controllers got crufty after a bit of use.
    Just wait till these spend a bit of time beneath the sofa.

    "Hmm...ow, pointy! Eww, slimy. Oh, moving! Ah-ha!
    Ohhh, twenty dollars...I wanted a peanut! " -homer

  11. Re:Not sure fusion energy would help on What if Energy was (Nearly) Free? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Depending on how much acceleration you add, cheap energy helps quite a bit.
    Accelerating an electron from to almost the speed of light can increase it's mass 6 fold. Not much per electron, but when done in large numbers adds quite a bit.
    Also, elemental hydrogen is available in reasonable quantities wherever you go, accelerating THAT to extremely high speeds is even better...

  12. Why? on Open Source Law · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What I want to know is why someone would want to copyright a law.
    I can't see any method of generating income or royalty unless say the laws had to be licensed per year or something.
    Also, if a copyright was held on a law, would this allow the copyright holders to upgrade the law without the knowledge of the client? (DMCA v1.0 has been upgraded to DMCA v1.1, all cd's must be bought again to ensure validity)
    Just wondering...
