That part WAS impressive, assuming it wasn't a preprogrammed pattern. I'm just not sure what I could assume about the thrown hoop demo that would make it interesting.
We need to automate these functions on Earth, as well as in space. Labor has to be replaced from the bottom up to preserve stability and peace. The mass of our spaceships has to originate in space.
Seriously, I've long wondered why this kind of thing didn't already take off among the ricers. A big amp, some speakers, and some digitized loops of REAL motors. They could even have it vary realistically by speed and load. If you can't have the "last V8", at least you can sound like one!
In my (very) small town school in the 70's and 80's, we didn't really learn algebra until 9th grade. Up to that point, the equals sign was pretty much used only as the "answer symbol", meaning "here is the result of all the stuff on the left".
Head over to T-Mobile and check out the Nokia 5230. I'm commenting from one of them right now, and for only $10 US per month unlimited. (no text messages) Oh and only $70 for the phone when I bought it. I love it. It isn't iphone slick, but gets the job done on the net and can run Opera.
BS. Everyone is selfish. Everyone looks out for their own interests first. If they give their lives away in altruism it is only for some reward beyond. The reason "everyone" hates the U.S. is because the U.S. has been materially successful in the last couple hundred years. "Everyone" perceives this kind of "success" as more desirable than what they have. I think it's high time that "Everyone" quit envying the material success of the U.S. and started appreciating what they already have, or at least could have if they'd only quit having too many children. Don't be foolish. Don't go down the path of materialism. Go hug your loved ones, enjoy the company of good friends, and recover the childhood pleasure of simple things.
I never said he had to pay Comcrap for one. I have happily paid DirecTV $5,6,7 extra for nearly 10 years. I hardly watch TV anymore, but I can watch what I want, when I want, without waiting for, or fussing with a tape. It's worth it to me
Sorry, but I'm being sincere as hell about the DVR, and the milk. Some people are so cheap about things like this but waste just as much money on other stuff that doesn't actually improve their life. The guy who modded me Troll was W-R-O-N-G.
DVRs are worth the money. End of story. DVRs and ultra-pasteurized milk are the two best things the 21st century has brought us. Just swallow your pride and get one.

If I throw a hoop up at the right time, I can get a rubber-band to fly throught it.
Options - ROFL. Have you been locked in a bomb shelter since 1999?
It's just this kind of nonsense that keeps us computer folk employed.
How about just offering free flights for pilots, waitresses, and doctors? Kind of like the self-checkout at the grocery store...
Perhaps, like AGW, it just needs the consensus of more physicists.
But Kuiper said the moon was made of crunchy snow...

Not true. That button is an invaluable tool for identifying stupid type-a individuals.
Bullshit.
Wait for tomorrow's headline about how DisplayPort has come back from the dead to make things even worse (in the short term).

Yes, if only they had a more sophisticated comment system, then the level of discourse would be closer to that of Slashdot or /b/.
That's freakin' awesome. I always wanted to try the couple miles or so of electric fence we had back on the farm, but never had a tuner back then.
Come now, not a single hunk of wire laying around, no gutters, no bedsprings?

"I have altered the deal. Pray that I don't alter it further."
Turn by turn nav works beautifully on my Nokia 5230, for a hell of a lot less money! $10 data plan anyone?
Well, they would likely be the only ones left, using radio, long after the others switched to telepathy, built flying saucers, and ultimely ascended.
Quick, send that idea to China for R&D!
