True, but seeing as I was in the market for a car, sometimes American ads would quote a price and I would jump out of my seat thinking "Damn, that's a wicked price, I better get on that!" Only to be sadly crushed when I realize that it was an American ad.
As much as I would have liked to see the Superbowl ads, having a regular feed during the rest of the year would confuse the targetted viewers of those ads.
Seeing ads of products I can't buy, or services for local areas would be pretty useless for both advertisers and viewers.
Like in TF2, when you 'dominate' someone you become their 'nemesis' - and so they'll come back seeking revenge...:) I hate getting dominated. The only way it could be worse, is if instead of being dominated, they replace it with being "Owned". *sigh*
How much is returned to the public? WARF has put almost $1 billion back into research at the University ($50 million last year) and supported 1500 seperate research projects last year. Not to mention that there are 1000's of people employeed around the state in the private sector at small biotech companies and other firms developing products off of WARF licensed technologies. Though, my question is, of those 1500 research projects, how many of them came to a new radical conclusion, or provided information that is useful?
When I was doing research, I remember only a very small percentage of research actually provided something useful. Most research proved nothing, or just confirmed what we already knew. This research however was in medical sciences, so I'm not sure exactly how much can translate to engineering type research, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were similar.
I'd figure urban areas would be perfect for something like this. Just don't use the jetpack for sustained flight, but more as a "jump pack" to get you up and across rooftops, escaping alleyways and such.
If memory serves, that study has been done. Passengers aren't problematic because they recognize road hazards (or at least your reactions to road hazards) and will temporarily stop talking when the situation calls for it. Really? Do those passengers include grouchy kids who missed their nap times too?
This is sort of remeniscent of a friend's RV, where in order to use the microwave, every other electrical system onboard had to be unplugged or shut off. I was told it was interesting sitting in the dark where the only light source was from the microwave.
The only get rich quick scheme that works is selling get rich quick schemes to idiots. Lies! The other get rich quick scheme that works is to start your own religion!
Oh really? That way of thinking has caused my work to consist of things like FoxPro for DOS 2.6 , Visual FoxPro, VBA, VB6, VB.NET, C#, Ruby, Python, Bash, Java, just off the top of my head, without going into mainframe. Best tool for the job has made my job a maze of concepts.
I went through Computer Science, I know the conceptual level, but guess what? There's a little thing called "reality" that gets in the way. What really happens in the real world, is nothing like what the concepts are supposed to be.
Filtering through syntax, programming styles that span a multitude of generations is tough. Had they just tried to use the K.I.S.S. principal (which by the way, isn't taught in school), I might have an easier time today. Instead, I go through this stuff and scratch my head wondering, "Why the hell am I the one dealing with this?"
As Tango42 pointed out above, the cat and mouse issue could be easily resolved by scrolling data based on eye movement. Seems like a great solution to me - Data available peripherally to be accessed through eye movement and an unimpeded center for a clear FOV. You basically you want to see a scrolling marquee across your eye?
That means they are going to bring back the <marquee> tag? SWEEEEEEEEEEET!
Kurt Cobain was more famous in death than in life sadly. It wasn't until he was dead that people finally realized what he had brought to the music world.

You could always order your pizza and meet the delivery boy at the front door for a bit of sunlight.
I play on an Instant Respawn TF2 server... I don't have time to die! It's more like a teleportation effect back to a spawn room for me.
Damn... that's a good idea. I've been using those speech readers, and the voice sounds so robotic. I just tell my mom that she's got a sore throat.

But it's "raining men, hallelujah", how are they going to stop that?

Also, in Japan, it is against etiquette to speak on a mobile phone on public transit, so everyone just texts.
You forgot:
E) Look directly into the beam.

I'll have you know that 3M does make space technology!
Maybe with strategically placed Scotch tape?
Well, we'd know they'd have found it if we just write our email into the folds of the paper airplane.

With value based currency, how does one accommodate a growing population?
YIPPEE!!! It's an AIDS day... time off to go sledding!

With the stratosphere being only 5... *sigh*
