  1. Re:Laundry idea on Disney Takes Another Stab at the House of the Future · · Score: 1

    That my friend is called a new wife. Not to be confused with a veteran wife...that's a different algorithm altogether. Granted in terms of "new", your mileage may vary. So far mine has been running strong 4 years. The ironing function was never implemented, but the rest of the duties work like as good as day one. One downside to this laundry machine is for the first time in my life that my clothes are fading faster than I can wear them out. Also since I use a drawer storage method, I rarely get to the clothing elements below the first two layers...I am considering a different storage method to get past that issue.

  2. What about taste? on Genetically Engineered Mouse is Not Scared of Cats · · Score: 1

    So how long before they have beautiful GM Women that taste "it" as a delicious delicacy?

    I don't see why not. Simply set it to 3 minutes and warm up that bottle of milk. Don't forget to shake and test first, because the milk may get hot enough to burn.

  5. Trim some fat on Adobe Intends To Move All of Its Applications Online · · Score: 1

    They need to trim it down (disk/memory/cpu usage), get Adobe products to fit and run smoothly on simple systems.

    Imagine having Photoshop on your iPHone/googlePHONE 2.0 and it would run as quick as notepade for startup/saving etc...

    With a touch screen you can bust out a stylus and work the magic. features, bells and whistles are great, but not so much at the cost of performance.

    "Get a bullet in a paper map, and you have a map with a hole in it. Get a bullet in your whizbang electronic map, you have a paper weight."

    On that note, if you were holding the map up in front of you as you tried to identify where to go next while on the move, that bullet through the map could be the end of the line, where as if you have a whizbang GPS unit and you are already bearing in the right direction a bullet in the whizbang may be stopped by the [insert protective bullet proof metal] casing and what not and you keep on your merry way with a bruise and no HUD...

  11. Why it is pointless to invest in time travel... on Far-Fetched Time Travel Concept Receives Private Funds · · Score: 1
    The first person to successfully develop a method to time travel using someone else's funds, will in fact time travel to the past to before the time travel was possible and become rich to the point where developing time travel independently would be possible thus no longer having any debtors/investors/vc's...

    Some food for thought If time travel was possible...
    • Observe or Change
    • Would you stop/prevent extinction/disasters/wars/from happening? (i.e katrina / 9.11 / Pearl Harbor / dodo bird / dinosaurs)
    • Would you Debunk Religions/Scientists (i.e. Human Evolution, Validitiy of Jesus Christ, Noah's Ark, Moses, Adam & Eve)
    • Would you time shift civilization (i.e. Electicity/Computers/Technology in the beginning of time)
    • Or would you just go back far enough to make you and your descendants wealthy for all eternity or on that note...make Adam wonder why his son doesn't look anything like him...
