3D on a computer monitor is a delusion, you have height and width, that third dimension is the delusion that is implemented by software to give the appearance of depth. it is not like you can reach in to your screen like it really had depth, (nothing wrong with good hardware acceleration with decent screen resolution and color definition (at least 16, but 24 is better)
with the economy in the pits it would do some good to stimulate the economy with some new products, take a look at the UHF CB radios in Australia and make something similar for the USA, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UHF_CB
if this was opened up in the USA it would stimulate the economy, a hell of a lot of people would buy them especially if you included nice features like CTCSS, all mode = AM/FM/SSB, 5 watts plus the ability of installing in automobiles, with external antennas, we should be able to have alternative radio communications other than that messy old 27MHz.
maybe it is time for a nice thick coat of metallic radar reflecting paint on both the inside and outside my house, and something to fix my windows with, i dont do anything illegal but i also like to keep prying eyes out of my house.
it is a feature if DX/Skip is what you want to use, if you want to talk locally but can not because of the DX/Skip noise is too high then it is a bug, (all a matter of perspective)
i have a dualband kenwood 731 VHF/UHF right now that has two SO-238 connectors on the back (SO, not PL = my bad). the SO-238 are the chassis mount connectors that receive the PL-259 coaxial connectors, and they work fine
frs frequencies are fine, the existing radios in the stores are very inadequate, i want a 5 watt radio that runs on 12 volts DC that has a PL-238 antenna connector on the back so i can attach a 50 OHM coaxial cable that runs up to an antenna,
like the ones they have in Australia, UHF does not get the DX/Skip interference like 27MHz does, when I want to talk locally i dont want dozens of people from all over the USA or all over the world interrupting our conversation just to say "hi, where are you?, what kind of radio do you have?" etc...etc... it gets old and annoying after a while
wpa_supplicant needs to either be dumped and replaced with something better or the people that work on wpa_supplicant need rework it to support a wider variety of wifi cards
counterfeit coins? i am not a counterfeiter but if i was going to counterfeit any form of currency i would do 20s 50s & 100s US dollar bills, a lot of work goes in to making them so i figure if i was to go in to that sort of criminal activity it would be the denominations that brought the best return
and to go a step further in your comment, eventually microsoft cuts off the russian PCs from windows update so no more patches to secure all these russian PCs and there is your next botnet collection free to send spam and DDos whoever the russians decide to target.
since that is the case i would come in to work on a weekend when nobody else is around and wipe the offending software off of every PC and install a free alternative (anonymously and in secret if possible)
not to mention California is earthquake prone, and there is a good possibility earthquakes rattle and shake lots of infrastructure over the years without causing visible damage but still weakening them.

does this thing use lots of power? is it going to give me cancer or fry me like a chicken pot pie in the microwave?

I want to buy a snowglobe with a miniature blackhole in it.

Who runs BarterTown?
i give up, its a catch-22 you're damned if you do and damned if you don't, i am going to quit and get a job flipping hamburgers

Go die in a fire.
