  1. Could be perfect for sports... on Watch Like Device for At-Risk Patients · · Score: 1

    This device could be amazing for training. It gives data normal HBM's can't measure, like oxygen levels. One could train much more effectively, and also monitor oneself during races or record attempts.

    Since sporting gear is a big market, it could bring the price of the device down to a few hundred dollars.

    Maybe the fastest man on earth will have some troubles with actually looking on his watch during a race...

  2. The f*cking thieves! on Businesses To Be Censored on Use of Olympics · · Score: 1

    This so called "Olympic comittee" stole the year "2012" from The Original, CycleVision 2012 recumbent event, to be held in the summer of 2012. Our summer! Our year! Prior art! It's the IP of the dutch recumbent riders!
    Sue them!

  3. Room to expand? There is no room in space. on Shuttle Discovery Lands Safely · · Score: 1

    Room is not about the mathematic definition of space. For lifeforms, it's about resources and shelter. Outside our planet, there are no resources nor shelter we haven't taken with us from the earth. And taking one kg of resources up there, costs millions kg of resources on earth. Using it down here, is far more efficient. About the shelter thing: in space there is no protecting atmosphere. There is no warmth: it's far too hot or far too cold. There's fierce radiation, meteors etc.

    As i said, there are giant spaces down here on earth, with lots of resources, and much more shelter than in space. The waters. We have all the technology to colonize them, yet we don't do it. A few people really live on the surface of the sea, but they are more and more replaced by robots. Most of the people just travel over the water, and they always want to return one day to the shore. (i am a sailor, believe me)

    So, before you are so sure about mankind conquering space, explain me why we don't take that far more easy to colonize room down here.
