How come you got modded up for this, when I was probably all of a minute slow and my link to my comment wasn't? Once again, friends, the system is screwed up.
Some HUD's don't project the image onto a surface, but actually project the image into your eye. I've seen a HUD built into eyeglasses frames, and it worked by creating a virtual screen of pixels on one retina that subtended some 30 degrees of the eye's field of view. Its screen was pretty cool, consisting of a row of fibers that vibrated back and forth at a known period and a timer that sent the right row of data to the fibers at the right time.
Don't worry. A duplicate story will be posted at least quarterly until it matters; and then they'll stop when it's a salable technology. So when the stories about it stop, wait 3 months and buy.
Yeah, this definitely won't work with my Sun IPX. (As if that's an issue...) Ever since I left it in the trunk of my car for an entire winter (a harsh one, at that - nary a night of temperatures above -10F did we see, and quite frequently it was much colder even than that), the NVRAM gets reset when the box is powered down. So now I get errors from the PROM at power-up, because my MAC address is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and my machine ID is also all 1's. So I have to write some Forth every time I boot up (the only bad part being that I have to do it at the console, and I don't have a serial console cable, so I have to lug out the behemoth 19" monitor that goes with it), in order to set my MAC address to something valid and to generate all the parity and checksums and whatnot.
Artificial blood, circa 50 years ago. Although the fluid, designed primarily for military use, proved ineffective as a blood substitute, Cray found that it was very conductive of heat but not conductive of electricity, and used it to cool the early liquid-cooled Cray computers. But you'll wanna try freon, or something.
We had an ice age here in North America. What was the climate like in the Kiliminjaro vicinity back then? I firmly believe that global warming has had a profound effect on life in North America over the past 10,000 years, and it's been pretty damn good so far. Get used to it people, it's a freaking cycle - temp goes up, temp goes down, species populate the earth, species go extinct for random unpredictable reasons.
When did I ever claim that anything other than 37 is prime? As to my complaint: it's about the divisibility of a whole number of dollars by the price of a stamp, which is entirely based on which prime numbers are divisors of 100 and the price of a stamp. Go ask your local high school if you can sit in on an Algebra class or something, and then check out their offerings in English grammar, because you're lacking in both areas pretty severely here.
Read my entire comment, you illiterate son of a bitch. 37, the current price, is very much a prime number. 32 and 34 share only 2 and 1 of 100's prime divisors, respectively, and are thus annoying. And yes, I'd rather the post office go from 25 to 50. Or at least to 30, 35, 40, 45, and then 50. I do happen to buy individual stamps, indeed, and rarely buy more than 2 at a time, mostly because I usually send things certified mail anyhow, and stamps are no good for that.
Then why is the cost of stamps a prime number of cents? Why do they always change the price of stamps to make them multiples of the most annoying primes? I hate carrying change, and therefore I try to buy things in dollar increments. How many dollars do I have to spend to come out even on buying stamps? c = $(lcm(100,p)/100) For prime p, gcd(p,100) = 1, that's c = $p. For "annoyingly almost prime" p, gcd(p,100) couldjustaswellequal 1, it's not much better. (34-cent stamps --> c = $17) Why can't we go back to 25-cent stamps, which give c = $1? Or even 50-cent stamps, for that matter. Or at least multiples of 5, for crying out loud!
You're not being so much cynical as hypocritical:

Flywheels to help acceleration? I was under the impression that flywheels 'store' energy to help keep the cruising speed constant despite sudden changes in energy delivered from the engine. For example, in your car, when you push in the clutch, isn't it the flywheel whose rotational momentum buffers your wheels from the now-disconnected engine? Correct me if I'm wrong - this stuff interests me.
Come is as intransitive as they come, so the best translation is probably "I came, I saw [OBJECT], and I conquered [OBJECT]." That's perfectly clear, concise, and valid English. The only thing that amazes me is that you wrote so many words to say so little: and that it was mostly wrong, but entirely obfuscated.
This was something I've been told by Canadian-citizen parents of American-born children (well, one American-born and one Canadian-born, so they really do know the differences). (In line with the general discussion here: yes, the father is a Canadian medical doctor working in the US.)
Sorry, I made a mistake in my phonetic spelling. The 'ch' in the last word should have been a 'k'. They'd be pronounced the same in Latin, but not in English.
The best part of that ploy is the citizenship issue it creates: When Canadian citizens give birth in the United States, the child is effectively a citizen of each country under its respective laws. However, while Canada recognizes dual citizenship, the US does not. So, when the child becomes 18 years of age, he or she can choose which country to remain a citizen of - Canada won't complain if you try to be both, but the US will.

Is it running on DEC hardware?
Was it 900-xxx-xxxx (or some other tolled variant), or not? If you didn't check, then you basically screwed your own chances.

No I'm not the Son of Man. And yes, I do. You forgot an apostrophe.
This is only the Passport server. If you don't read the article, at least read the entire story as posted on the front page of Slashdot, like I do. ;)
Oh yeah...I'd forgotten all about that use for flywheels.

"telco" stands for "Telephone Company". Are you saying that you deal with a company that produces telcos?

You're wrong, but close enough.
