yeah. Japan cheap -- if you're wiling to sleep in a tube every night and eat get your food by paying for a ticket...which is rather cool actually!
Always wanted to try the tube thing...
but hey now -- Akihabara's AWESOME. But I'm with you, Kamakura especially in my opinion is where it was at. I was lucky enough to hang out there with a bunch of other local college students from the area who took me to see this large hidden temple in this wooded area at night. Amazing expereince...
but PDA's...yeah cool cool. I hope they add the massive condom shop in in Harajuku
honestly I think it ruins the point as far as state parks are concerned (connecting with nature and blah blah), but being from Houston I think it would ROCK for Houston's CITY parks. There have been many a nice days (fall/spring have perfect weather usually) where I wish I could go do my work at one of the city parks -- gorgeous setting if you ask me and great for wi-fi since it's not very forresty.

is pretty much a complete mirror of suprnova:) bit of a different gui. no pop-ups.
as long as you have a standard audio/video output, and a recorder -- the copyright protection system is doomed. Now what would be truly interesting, is if someone were to develop a more hardware based method -- but that could always be hacked with a little bit of work as well. In fact, we'd have to completely build a new computer-type system from scratch that doesn't involve any sort of standards that are present in current computer systems. If the raw data is there, it can be extracted -- so you have to create a whole new coding scheme for it!
The RIAA and MPAA are wasting their damn time and their damn money. All I can do is sit back and laugh at their legal fees. Silly humans.
Hey guys. I'm a college student and I have a younger brother who's currently in highschool -- and he's definitely one of the more social kids and you know what pretty much his entire grade does? They're starting to bring magic cards back and they hold lan parties and they game! It's badass that they've made "geek" the new cool.
Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I tend to agree with the proactive stance on robotics -- I took a lab-last year where we had to solder together our own small computer systems (I think it was sponsored by...motorola I want to say...) and then build a robot out of legos, and etc. etc. there's a competition with rules and we need to program blah blah.
APPLIED technology is where it's at. And I think a lot of highschoolers are a bit more capable than they appear to be or actually think they are as long as they can surpass any social boundaries that might exist.
Teach them hardware hacking. Teach them how to build a bluetoth transmitter. Help them set up a radio-station. Create a group project to build some cool website or something. Anything with the end result of some cool physical/interactive object can spark a lot of creativity.
It will be hacked, and before you know it, a new market shall be born -- highschoolers accross the US punching holes in the GPS chips for 5$ with a special of unlocking Nokia cell-phones for a buck more. Too bad they don't have the foresight to incorporate themselves and go public...I'd invest in without hesitation!
unlike current pop American music that's mass produced for junior-high-school-kids and college students without taste, the UK actually HAS artists worth supporting. Ms. Spears sure as hell isn't getting any of my $$$ (not that I'd download her music anyways), but bring on some great UK music like Underworld or the Chemical Brothers and I'll shell it out just for pure fan support...anyone remember when it was fun to go to record stores and browse...those were the days

Hacking Vodka
·
· Score: 1
Compare it to Kalashnikov vodka -- made by the guy who invented the AK-47. It's "best drunk with friends" according to http://www.madville.com/link.php?id=78017&t=11 Screw using a Brita filter. The name says it all right there. I demand vodka made from a grade-A true Russian badass!!!
I've done a little independent research on this issue for a class -- one of the options we could opt for (although currently banned by some sort of London Convention of 1993 which expires in 2018) is http://www.ocrwm.doe.gov/ymp/about/oceanfloor.shtm l/sub-seabed disposal. A method whereby you place waste canisters in some sort of projectile and let it bury itself beneath the sea. The pros of this is that there's TONS of space (although there are certain depth requirements) and that it's damn near impossible to proliferate. On top of this, storage is cheap. On the flip-side, if you want to get it back for reprocessing, it's a costly operations and I'm sure there'd be some heated political debates over this.
A novel idea I think. Of course I have oversimplified the issue. There are many things to take into account like retardation rates and the geology of the ocean floor.
