  1. Working Hover Board on Google Looked Into Space Elevator, Hoverboards, and Teleportation · · Score: 1

    I made a working hover board for a school project years and years ago. i really, really dont understand why it is so hard for someone to come up with the same concept that I had. (and yes mine could hover over water.. )

  2. Battle of Z - PS Vita on Ask Slashdot: What Games Are You Playing? · · Score: 1

  3. Re:Old Smart Phones are the best! on Slashdot Asks: What Are You Doing For Hallowe'en? · · Score: 1

    Last year i had two sets of parents come to the door with no kid.. their kids were on the sidewalk. they told me that their kids were so scared to come up my drive way so they sent the parents to get the candy. i got a huge thumbs up and a job well done from a big Tattooed out Motorcars guy. made my year. heheh scaring kids.. lol

  4. Old Smart Phones are the best! on Slashdot Asks: What Are You Doing For Hallowe'en? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have a few Smart Phones i am not using so i Downloaded a few apps and things to make the Cells make Spooky Noises when one ditects sounds. and another phone set closer to my door where it detects movement (using fishing line attached to the phone and the other side attached to a moving lawn spider i have, he is 8' and has moving legs but now when he moves it makes cool spooky noises ) My Sony Smart watch as a live view finder for my other non used Smart phone allows me to see kids coming up the drive way so i can be perpaird to make the fog machine spew out thick fog. I did make a Green Laser Vortext this year too.. Green Laser & small motor to make a mirror spin & Fog Machine & a small fan makes some of the coolest effects. So now i got Two green, two red, and two blue lasers for this halloween haunt going. FYI - blue lasers are great as Super Black Lights!!!!!!! man they make glow in the dark things bright!

  5. Three Years of Smart Watches.. on Leak: Almost a Third of Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatches Are Being Returned · · Score: 1

    I have had each version of the Sony Smart watch, from the first Live View "watch" back on 2009 to my now 2nd gen Sony Smart Watch. what i learned is that, YOU NEVER BUY the first of anything type of new tech, the 2nd one is always better because end users finally get to test them for real and let the devlopers know what needs to be fixed/added/imporved. Everyone I run into / or sees my watch from the other side of the room comes over to ask. People in elevators are always interested on why i am looking at my watch.. i say "i am reading my Face Book time line.." then i have to go into how it will show incoming tweets, incoming calls and can answer them or reject them with out taking my phone out of my pocket. If you are looking for a Wrist Phone, these are not them.. this is NOT Dick Tracy or Bat Man style that the commercials show, as the SamSung and Sony Smart Watches hook up to your Smart Phone.. so you still have to carry around a brink. Now if you want a Watch Phone.. check www.Tinkgeek.com or ebay.com there is a TON of them out there for well under the price that Samsung is trying to sell their BS watch for. so all in all.. Go with SONY they are already on the 4th version and it is cheaper and does more as there has been apps written for them for YEARS now.

  6. I play Diablo 3 off line.. and will with SimCity on Hacker Skips SimCity Full-Time Network Requirement · · Score: 3, Informative

    so easy to do it. so very easy. (if you know how to read that is)

  7. they didnt pull Diablo 3 on In Wake of Poor Reviews, Amazon Yanks SimCity Download · · Score: 1

    and it had more issues than this one. it's only been two / three days people since launch. Maxis didnt do a huge Beta test for fear of the code being taken for off line mode (like with Diablo 3, i play it off line and i am sure Blizzard isnt too happy about it) .

  8. If Scientology is a Religion, than HGTG mentioned on Texas School Board Searching For Alternatives To Evolutionary Theory · · Score: 1

    Might as well have in the books about how the earth was created as a super computer for an advance race of rats trying to figure out the Question to the answer of 42. (which is as we all know. what do you get when you multiply 6 x 9)

  9. I got Scripts for a Star Trek show i am writting.. on Star Wars Live-Action Show Could Still Happen · · Score: 1

    anyone want to help make them ;-) lol I always thought that there should be a Star Trek Academy Show. So I wrote my own after playing Bridge Commander way back in the day.

  10. Pay for you own data Lady on One Musician's Demand From Pandora: Mandatory Analytics · · Score: 1

    if you want Pandora to do all that for you, you as a muscian would have to PAY THEM and then you wont get any money when people listen. I'd say Update your Face Book page lady! and or your Wiki too.. your fans will follow you if they are your fans. As a Pandora user, I DO NOT LOOK at it.. i start the program and turn the screen off on what ever device i am using to listen. Automated scripts i have will press the I am still listening and or the Close on ads when they pop up. so her proposal on adding in info to Pandora will be useless for a user like me. (90% of us do what i do from what i have read)

  11. I have - Xperia Play and i 3 it on PSP Emulator For Android Released · · Score: 1

    So I have been playing PSP games on my Android for over a year... also it plays NES, SNES, PS-One, N64, Genesis so smoothly and with the pop out game pad i am the talk of the street or store when i pull it out to play a quick game of Donky Kong - NES og.. or to jump in Madden 2012 and pass a few balls, then back to playing Crash Bandicoot all with leaving Madden and NES running i can still take calls and surf the web with no issues. PSP game rips into iso and placed on my system works fine. I bet i would have to be one of the only people out there with a full working version of Diablo 1 for Ps 1 running on my cell phone. follow me at @answerbird for answers to all your questions or sweet pics on instgram

  12. Re:what is this 1988? on Calif. Man Arrested For ESPN Post On Killing Kids · · Score: 1

    i'm confused.. you dont think people who buy expensive shoes dumb? or people that shoot people for shoes are dumb? how about they are Silly for buying them, and unethical for shooting for them? does that make you feel better? -what shoes are you wearing? lol

  13. what is this 1988? on Calif. Man Arrested For ESPN Post On Killing Kids · · Score: 1

    that is when i saw a guy get shot for his Jordans in Reno. just this week a guy was shot dead in a park in Stockton, CA for his gold chain and shoes.. you cant stop dumb people from being dumb unless you let natural selection take effect. too many doctors saving the lives of dummys who then but expensive shoes and then some other dummy shoots them, they get burried and fed the magotts so forth, cows get fed, shoes are made and bought... circle of life.

  14. Baked Seaguls on 50 Years of Research and Still No Microwave Weapons · · Score: 1

  16. Re:iPhone on Star Trek Tech That Exists Today · · Score: 1, Interesting

    agreed :) +1 to you. i was going to mention 2001 as well. But they (and the ST ones) look more like a Toshiba Excite or Sony S1 than an iPad. (NO ONE IN THE FUTRUE USES WHITE PLASTIC, execpt for Storm Troopers and the imperial guard, then it is for cloths not gadgets. Everyone knows Space is dirty hehehe)

  17. Re:iPhone on Star Trek Tech That Exists Today · · Score: 1

    well the Pads used in Enders Game were more like an iPad then the ST Pads. In Enders Game the Pads had social media on them.. pretty sweet for an old book to have tech that we now use today. Not to mention the whole remote controlled War games.

  18. Solar Sails on Star Trek Tech That Exists Today · · Score: 1

    One of the Best ST Techs to see the "Day Light" hehehehe.

  19. shh.. we have something free for you at AutoHotKey on Ask Slashdot: Single-Handed Keyboard Options For Coding? · · Score: 1

    this scripting program I picked up and have been using since 2003 is great. one guy wrote a One Handed Keyboard script that is rather sweet to use.. even have cool scripts for using the NumPad to move the mouse pointer and click... lots of great tools that would so help someone one handed. www.autohotkey.com

  20. Re:Both versions on Curiosity's Latest High-Res Photo Looks Like Earth · · Score: 1

    blue sky.. hmm.. never know.. but on Earth I know that[br] "A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight." [br] The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colours of the rainbow. This was demonstrated by Isaac Newton, who used a prism to separate the different colours and so form a spectrum. The colours of light are distinguished by their different wavelengths. The visible part of the spectrum ranges from red light with a wavelength of about 720 nm, to violet with a wavelength of about 380 nm, with orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo between. The three different types of colour receptors in the retina of the human eye respond most strongly to red, green and blue wavelengths, giving us our colour vision.

  21. Re:Both versions on Curiosity's Latest High-Res Photo Looks Like Earth · · Score: 0

    Both Photos have been tocuhed up before given to the public. Check out the photos of Mars from the 1970s and you will be amazed at how much the sky on Mars ISNT as red as the Gov wants us to think. google = Real Color of Mars.. do some reading and lets start up a new thread called why do they want us to think Mars is red?
