Someone from the 20s would probably be more surprised that we're still using gasoline-powered engines and cars which really aren't that different from those 85 years ago, instead of cars that fly.
Yeesh... I need to write better because that is exactly what I am trying to say. Diesel, electric, gasoline, biodiesel, and bioplastics are not new technologies. They all date back to when cars were first starting to be introduced.
I honestly don't think technology has changed all that significantly in the past years. Change has been basically incremental in our modern society. Take someone from the 1920's and he would point out that a car is a horseless carriage.
Does anyone tend to think before posting ideas? An EMP device will set the bomb off not stop it from igniting. The whole concept of an EMP device is to disable the electronics by inducing a massive current. Massive currents will still set the bomb off. Also, what if the stupid thing is inside a faraday cage (read car). The Emp device is useless. Not to mention not all bombs use fancy electronics which can be fried. I doubt the level of technology some of these terrorists use is applicable to being able to be blown up by an EMP device.
Is this the same concept behind the explosions that the Mythbusters created in a microwave with water. I know that the water was resulted from super clean glass that is free of defect. Introducing an object will immediately cause the gas to bubble and make it explode.
Yeesh... Someone all ready posted a better and more detailed description of the lake. Anyway here is another engineering disaster. The Disney Opera House in California. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Concert_Hall It was a really nice building. Very ornate and very shiny and cool looking. The problem is that they designed and built Archimedes Death Ray. Certain parts of the building were curved that they were cooking the inside of people's apartments, melting trafic cones, blinding drivers, and setting stuff on fire. The solution was just to sandblast the offending objects but yeesh.
I remember watching an episode of Modern Maverls aptly named engineering disasters. Well the funniest one had to be the disaster where a bunch of oil riggers managed to drain an entire lake into a mine. The drilled right through the mine shaft because of a bad map and the whole entire lake and part of the land surrounding it went into the mine. Fortunately, no one died but yeesh... I didn't think such a thing could happen.
Im guessing this are for inside use only

When buying electronics from machines that are barely passable for distributing candy, make sure not to be surprised when your 300 dollar electronics don't work because they've been dropped from a height of four feet.
Actually they are robotic vending machines. Nothing actually drops. Heheh.. I've seen this things dispense coke before and the sounds and movements it makes is cool. Here is there website. http://www.zoomsystems.com/index.html
Sounds to me like you didn't find a decent dojo. When I played Judo as a kid, it was all about sportsmanship. If our Sensei though you were getting hot under the collar, or getting too aggressive, he stopped the randori and you sat on edge of the mat until you had yourself under control again. When I practiced Aikido many years later, it was all about learning to move as smoothly and easily as possible, whether you were uke or nage.
Hey.. It was bad grammar. I like the Martial Arts. I was referring to the people just randomly beating the crap out of each other. PS. I like Akido. I have practiced Akido in Jui-Jitsu. I seriously suck at the flowing and moving smoothly but it certainly is a very nice form of martial arts.
Look more closely at the sticks in use in the picture. They look a lot more like Kali sticks to me than kendo sticks. Jiu Jitsu / Ju Jutsu / Ju Jitsu / (whichever spelling you prefer) will include all of the other styles of techniques. You think martial arts are pathetic or this example of people in a "fight club" is pathetic, as martial arts aren't pathetic they are a good way to keep fit, train your mind and perhaps provide a viable means of self defence in a street attack.
Who me? I like the martial arts and I took it for a while. I meant just the sensless fighting. You might as well do tournaments and become proficient at a martial art that useful/cool/interesting/neat. PS. I only chose Kendo because it's the only martial arts that I know uses a stick. Please forgive my ignorance.
The guy wanted to find out what it would feel like to have his ass kicked. I suspect he's about it find out./blockquote.
More like he was looking for the quickest way to get a divorce. Yeesh... I know I'm obsessvie but at least my activities are innocous like building robots.
Step 1: Learn a martial art. See below.
Step 2: Become a master
Step 3: Step 3 depends on step one. See below.
Akido-Laugh at people as they discover that their attacks are turned against them.
Taekwondo- Laugh at people as you kick the living crap out of them.
Wrestling- Laugh as you drop people on their head.
Jui-Jitsu- Laugh as you break limbs.
Judo- Laugh as you start throwing people over your hip.
Kendo- Laugh as you teach those idiots in the article about how to use those sticks.
In all seriousness, I've taken martial arts before and I think it's kind of pathetic.
PS. Is this the first Slashdot article that actually mentions S&M .
The one that many consider the worst holds the biggest market share.
I hate this type of post because it's pointless. Of course many people consider WOW the worst because it's very popular. Every single person is unique and to make a game that appeals to everyone is impossible. What one person might find fun another might hate. What you find boring another finds interesting. There is nothing wrong with that and that is why there are so many genres of games.
Uh, neither product has shipped. Besides, I think Sony has other irons in the fire.
Yes but I remember someone mentioning on Slashdot that a poll just like this was conducted before the PS3 price announce in Japan and the Playstation 3 came out on top. Now the polls say something else differnt.
I lived at home and worked full time through college (at a much cheaper school than MIT) and picked and chose carefully which books I bought (I have copied whole textbooks in the library at 5 cents/page.) We all had our dreams then, but we knew that's all they were.
Im not sure about you but Im getting paid $15.00 an hour plus overtime working at an company that has been mentioned on Slashdot and I've only been through one and half years of college.:) 40 hours a week and well its very sweet.
You mean "Fogent" don't you? I mean, Zonk couldn't have missed it twice.
Yeah. Freudian slip. I was thinking about forgery and how the name forgent is aptly suited for such company. Anyway, Im really confused now. The patent office said they should not have granted the patent in the first place. Is it just the fact that the other claims haven't been examined yet or do they stand on their own merits? Is this patent still dangerous with the parts that havent' been rejected yet or is the patent nerfed?
I long for a month where slashdot doesn't announce a new design for a cloaking device...
Come on.. We have the transparent aluminum. We just need the cloaking device. I'll be dammed though as to why Science keeps on publishing these design though.
If you accidently bump into someone. I can imagine the scenarios in the battlefield: Person bumps into stealthy man. Person: What the?? What did I just bump into?? Stealth Dude: There is nothing here for you to see. Move Along. Person: Who said that? Stealth Dude: Ummmm... Ummm... Im a ghost. Person: Really? Stealth Dude runs away. Person: Hello??? Hello??? Are you still there???
Here is the webstie for the strawjet invention actually one the contest. http://www.greeninventor.org/index.shtml I have to say this is one ingenious idea for third world countries to make cheap housing. You grow your food and whatever waste you produce is used to produce houses.
what happens when a disgruntled employee has access to control mechanisms? what happens when military robots, funded by enormous global megacorporations, fall into the wrong hands? how will we human sdefend ourselves?
A guy who joins the army ends up falling in love with a robot. Oo yeah. It was on arrested development. Though he didn't love the Packbot he loved the Rhoomba if you get what I mean.;)

Ummmm... They didn't say that compressed air tanks don't make good weapons. They said that they don't make good IEDs. They make great missles.

http://gonewengland.about.com/od/bostonattractions /fr/frtombboston.htm It's sort of like an interactive game show. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried it before because it's right near Fenway Park. Heheh.. Anyway, that is something to do in my spare time.

The patent has not been completely ruled invalid. Some of the claims have not been addressed by the USPTO according to Forgent
