  1. 3rd Person Perspective on The Future of the Car · · Score: 1

    I'd like a car that uses sonar/lidar or something to create an overhead view of my car and the traffic around it. The image could be somewhere just below the windsheild, or even projected onto it, translucently.

    This feature would make highway and city driving much safer.

  2. Re:A flight sim on your couch on Researchers Create Radio Controlled Humans · · Score: 1

    You're so silly!

  3. A flight sim on your couch on Researchers Create Radio Controlled Humans · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen anyone comment about this possibility.

    Imagine sitting in a comfy chair in front of a big screen, and having this device give you "tilt" sensations co-ordinated with the on-screen action. I would pay for that, once a bit of testing has been done to ensure that there are no long-term effects (like walking drunk all the time!).

  4. Re:I'm a little lost in this whole thing on Reputation System Fights P2P Junk · · Score: 1

    It does?! I should really read these pamphlets I'm handing out.

  5. Re:FP? on Shuttles Grounded Once Again · · Score: 4, Funny

    Or perhaps a tea cozy.

  6. Re:Yawn on Microsoft To Begin Checking For Piracy · · Score: 1

    For all intense porpoises, I must say that the ironing is delicious.

  7. Forbidden planet on Eerie Sounds from Saturn · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sounds like some of the effects from the soundtrack to Forbidden Planet!

  8. Re:But what about... on NASA's Astronaut Glove Design Competition · · Score: 1

    In space, no one can hear you fart.

  9. Re:Maybe 4 bombs on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Unless the people discussing it are rescue workers standing around instead of doing their job, the discussion will have no effect on the dead, the survivors, or the grieving.

    It seems to me that you're trying to use shame/guilt to silence a free discussion.

  10. Programming and art meet.. on Is Programming Art? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    here: http://chriscoyne.com/cfdg/

    I just found out about this today from Boingboing.

    Code snippets, recursive loops, and simple drawing commands turn a script into a remarkably beautiful rendering. I have been messing with it for hours and have only just gotten started. There is MUCH you can do with this.

  11. Re:and they did it without a shuttle! on Cassini's Got Pictures And Data · · Score: 1

    Gold, Jerry, GOLD!

  12. Re:Roaches... "Land of the Lost"? on Vehicle for Cockroaches · · Score: 1

    How do you feel now, having all that work fall flat?

  13. Re:LOST???? on Slashback: Summer, Sail, Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    Wow, you never watch TV? I bet you're intellectually superior because of it! I bet your friends love to hear you tell them every day about how you're better off without a TV! Good for you! Now if only you can kick that shoe-sniffing habit.

  14. Re:Now why Did I think.... on Slashback: Summer, Sail, Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    I've seen governments run better than slashdot. Honest to god, GOVERNMENTS.

  15. Re:Its not cheating if its in the game. on Cheaters Under The Microscope · · Score: 1

    What, submarine cock?

    Freak.

  16. Re:HA! on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    I guess it is pretty tedious to put the movie in one drive and a blank dual layer dvd in the other and click that one button in DVDShrink.

    And options aren't for busy people like you, so don't bother looking at them.

  17. Re:HA! on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    Try DVDShrink. You can make a perfect copy minus the ads and FBI warning and even without the menus if you want. Nowadays I always copy them before even watching.. it makes the experience better when it's uninterrupted.

    Note: the shrink features of DVDShrink don't have to be used, you can make a 1:1 copy of the files if they fit in 4.6 gigs, or if you use dual layer dvd's.

  18. Re:Phone Booth? on Dr Who Rolls On · · Score: 1

    Some boxes are booths too!

  19. Re:Hmm on How the Batsuit Works · · Score: 1

    Red Batman can totally kick Blue Batman's ass. He has eye lasers and +8 heal factor.

  20. Re:Female-Canined on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1

    Language evolves. Don't be left behind!

  21. Re:work work work... on Schneier on Attack Trends: More Complex Worms · · Score: 2, Funny

    You're so silly. What are you gonna do when your mom lets you leave the house?

  22. Re:lemme get this straight... on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    Must be. Girls don't like sex, masturbating, or posing naked, as can be seen by looking around the internet.

  23. Re:Nuclear Family is better than non-traditional. on Genetic Testing For Geekiness? · · Score: 1

    Who cares WHY someone is gay? If it *IS* indeed their choice, they have a right to that choice.

    Bigots want to prove it's a choice so they can begin attacking the character of homosexuals. That would be far easier than attacking their genetics.

  24. Re:Ahh.. jumping puzzles... on A Gamer's Manifesto · · Score: 1

    Could you replace that link with something actually offensive?

  25. Re:Ahh.. jumping puzzles... on A Gamer's Manifesto · · Score: 2, Informative

    Alice had a jump reticle that looked like a pair of ghostly shoeprints. You always knew if you were going to make a jump or not.
