Unless your drivers license includes a readable digital code on the back (most TN licenses have this now) whereupon you just wipe it through the card reader for age verification.
Cheap lasers use a low-power diode that at most would give you a negative-spot in your vision for a short duration of time. On top of that, they need no IR filter as the diode itself only emits within a very narrow wavelength range, typically the red pointers are either 630nm or 660nm.
When reference is made to the unit kelvin (either a specific temperature or a temperature interval), kelvin is always spelled with a lowercase k unless it is the first word in a sentence. When reference is made to the "Kelvin scale", the word "kelvin"—which is normally a noun—functions adjectivally to modify the noun "scale" and is capitalized.
with built-in GPS location services, auto-stabilization, call-home function, can carry a camera, and can likely carry a micro-radar for autonomous navigation.
Keep on dreaming while I've got investments in this stuff.
"The PS2 is a bitch to emulate because its processor and video processor are so strange"
Not really. Emotion was pretty easy to figure out.
"It doesn't even work all that great on high end modern PCs"
That's because PCSX2 only runs on 2 cores maximum and is a CPU-heavy piece of software as you state later on. That will change as support for more threads and more cores is put in.
"Emulator authors seem to be good at emulation but not so good at current coding practices."
For speed, most of those coding practices rely upon ASM. That in itself is enough of a bitch to work with, with branch prediction and such.
"It is just too powerful, and too odd, of a system to emulate on the PS3."
No way. Just in raw possible performance, the PS3 has roughly 2TFLOPS whereas the PS2 has 6GFLOPS. The PS3 is MORE THAN CAPABLE, it's just the programmer that is the bottleneck.
Have you paid attention? The next target is finding individual **AA members personal internet connections and then attacking those after we're done with the RIAA.

"If supermarkets could suddenly produce food for 1/10th the price, you bet you'd see savings in one way or another."
They CAN produce food for 1/10 the price, they just don't want to drop that initial investment in the technology to do so.
But when they don't have any other choice, I'll be here, waiting with the technology to increase food production and lower the price at the same time.
"Not that the machines here know I'm a man, but they do require the use of a debit card."
Sucky, all self-checkouts here have bill acceptors so we don't need to use a card.
"Polluting the earth with all your throwaway non-organic condoms..."
That's why I use all-organic lambskin condoms!

And would you like to know how I know you don't do any target shooting?
93% accuracy on a 2cm target from 150 yards. And that's just with a 9mm pistol, iron-sighted.
I can do MUCH better with a zeroed rifle.
Designing horticultural lamps is my field of expertise.
I guess my sig doesn't do that justice, however.
You give me a properly zeroed scope on a 30.06 and I can nail bell wire.
I do, they're likely HID lights and thus are suitable for indoor horticulture.
"Who shops online for environmental reasons?"
The very people that would buy my environmentally-friendly LED panels, since you can't just typically drive to a store and buy them.
nylon insulation comes in many colors.
Windows 7 has been rock solid for me, surprisingly.
But I always have a spare MenuetOS USB key for when I want to tinker around.
"Remember having to lick your carts just so they'd work?"
Nope, I just used a thin eraser and kept the damned contacts clean. Never once did I have to blow in or lick a cartridge.
I haven't used that piece of garbage software in about 5 years.
For those modding me down.
Eat your already-outdated quadcopter.

Actually, putting the iPhone on the copter itself could do it.
Quit relying upon heavy programming languages and go bare-metal and you can do nearly anything with very little power.
Go look up the Parrot AR test flight videos.
Also, the source code is FREELY available to put on other devices, so you can EASILY make this work with a netbook and a joystick.

"In addition, the Xbox and the 360 are very much alike in terms of architecture"
Original XBox: Intel P-3 Celeron @ 733MHz
360: 3.2 GHz PowerPC core and 3 SPE units.
Not even the same hardware arch, man.
"Can't wait to see Wii emulation."
Dolphin works just fine for the most part.

"We already have a perfectly good port of Linux to the PS3, capable of replacing lv2 while gaining RSX/3D funcionality thanks to the new exploits."
Nope, RSX is still locked. We need Ring1 or Ring0 access to get there, and half of the commands haven't even been figured out.
There's only so much a direct trace signal replication can do when you don't understand the fine details of the underlying protection system.
We've already got quadricopters. And you can control them with an iPhone. And they could already do this sort of maneuvering.
It's called the Parrot AR.

Or just replace the BIOS with the proper microcode already in the ROM, or just put the processor in another motherboard instead of the original one.
