  1. This seems infinitely more useful... on Finding Yourself With Photo Recognition · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ... the other way around. If its image database is as large as it would have to be to correctly support this behavior, then I'd like to give it a position and get back a photo so I know what landmarks to look for when I get there, rather than getting lost in the first place.

  2. So rather than send out... on Finding Yourself With Photo Recognition · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... a GPSr reading and request information about that location, we get this?

    Sounds like a solution in search of a problem.

  3. Re:ooh!! on Russian Group Plans Manned Mars Mission By 2011 · · Score: 1

    Well, I plan on going to the MOON in an EDSEL!

    I'm sorry if my insane plan causes too much trouble.

  4. Re:Cool! on Stop Cell Phones Without Stopping Pacemakers... · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Is it illegal for a business establishment to 'fence-out' unauthorized carrier frequencies? Do you have jurisdiction over the entire spectrum within your own property?

  5. Microsoft's gonna be mad! on Xbox Emulator Plays Retail Game · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now you can play XBox games on a Windows machine! Think of all the lost revenue!

    And when that happens, I wanna be in that platoon!

  7. Re:If they keep protecting stupid people on Smart Cars to Save Stupid Drivers? · · Score: 1

    You don't... evolution doesn't produce 'better' specimens, it produces more likely candidates for survival and future reproduction. Your first statement is self-fulfilling in this respect.

    However, this was a joke, and as such I will laugh. Har har. :)

  8. Re:Warning ! on Smart Cars to Save Stupid Drivers? · · Score: 1

    More like "Entering the time of the Black Plague... OnStar service is not available in this era. Have a nice day."

  9. Re:Smart Cars to Save Wealthy Drivers... on Smart Cars to Save Stupid Drivers? · · Score: 0

    What's normal? I routinely drive w/o my hands on the wheel. I also tend to take "half-naps" by closing one eye. If it doesn't learn my behavior how is it going to work for me?

    Before we get too far into this discussion, lets lay out some fundamental definitions:

    normal = the opposite of what you do
    stupid driver = you

    half-nap? You're kidding right?

  10. Re:Next layoffs? on IBM Snags Leading Indian Outsourcing Firm · · Score: 2, Funny

    My first job was for $1 hour shovel'n cement and sand in Arizona when I was 12...back in the 80's.
    (Talk about a sweat shop...)
    and I was GLAD for the money...


    LUXURY! We used to DREAM about shovel'n cement and sand! We had to use a spoon!

    With a HOLE in it!

  11. Re:There's one more figure not figured... on 2003 CD Sales Officially Down 7.6 Percent · · Score: 1

    It's rather sad that I've resorted to 80s music for entertainment. Is Supertramp really better than everything out today?

    I, on the other hand, have serious trouble understanding anything the Europeans do. I'm glad you've figured them out. :)

    Some say the world will end in fire,

    From what I've tasted of slashdot
    I hold with those who favor grammar.
