Russians did a bit of R&D on Ground Effect Vehicles. They seem like a good compromise, albeit they would need docs or large plane roads to reach seas. They would be fast, close to surface and provide better fuel savings due to lower drag. I would really like to see some R&D go into them.
Not only that, raking millions means that one hit wonders will come and go, whereas had they made say 100K per work of art, they would be motivated to work again as soon as the 100K runs out.
Accept for bells and whistles, how is this different from Ajaxterm.
I like all the eye candy and features and no doubt they are an improvement over what ajaxterm offers, however, ajaxterm is already a plugin free html based ssh terminal. Put it behind a apache https reverse proxy and block the real ajaxterm port from internet access and you get a pretty good pure html/ajax ssh shell.
On my first job out of university, I was loyal, stuck to a single company for about 4 years, at which point their product was purchased by another company and the dev team dropped like a hot potato.
Few years down, I couldn't come to work on a weekend (after working 3 straight previous weekends without overtime pay), I was let go the following Thursday after I pissed off my boss after being threatened "I may not be fit for the organization", I'm glad I did, cause I wasn't.
I started contracting and haven't looked back, get more pay, get paid for overtime and believe it or not, respected more and viewed as someone who has authority in my field, though I am the same person.
Playing "gods" advocate. If I had to choose someone who would do anything come hell or high water, this would be a perfect test, further knowing that I (I as in god) won't let any harm come to the child, its a perfect test.
Further analysis on the "moral" aspect of it and speaking from a "believers" perspective, death is not really death, its just a passage to another dimension, so if you truly believe that, then it is not immoral. I mean, how is it immoral to send someone to a better place.
So yes, today if you don't believe in religion or life after death, it is perfectly immoral, however if you do, then it is not so much.
And again, just throwing this out, I am not about to go kill my kids.
As power levels of these lasers are getting higher up, it takes a dumb kid living 200 yards away shining this stupid thing on my eye and causing injury.
IMO, there should be licensing similar to guns. Maybe even training on how to handle these as opposed to Tom the fat wallet idiot ordering it off the internet.
Speaking of TV-esque , it would be interesting if games come up with weekly episodes. Leave the game at a cliff hanger, to be continued next week. With all the PSN and xbox live, this should be possible. Each week you come in, download the next episode, play. They can even charge per episode. Alternately, adverts can be put into the game strategically to keep it free.
(hope this counts as prior art when some bloke goes to patent it)
yup, thats a bummer. In this day and age of Web 2.0 and javascript, wonder why none of these @home have a web client so even a kid can do it. Just go to a link, stay there, let the javascript do the work. No installation, nothing native, just works.
I would have given this +1 Insightful however don't have mod points.
It really needs to get really bad before people start realizing how patents are hurting economy and innovation, to a point where there vote on such matters count.
Salaries are going up, eventually, they will reach true market value. You and I may suffer out in the west, however by the time next generation comes along, 5$/hr will seem more palatable to Americans at the same time as Indians would have moved to $5/hr. There would be a balance at some point. Already happening on the IT industry side, Avg. Indian Developer is a lot more costly than he was 10 years ago, and the costs are rising.
Considering this is Linux, wonder how long before I can run something like Cynaogen Mod on it.
I have always loved Nokia hardware, it is better than the best, their software unfortunately makes the whole device suck. If I could get Android running on something like this, it will get real close to being a perfect phone.

G. W. Bush (Jr) is not an engineer, and nothing keeps him from spouting nonsense either.

Felt it here too. Fentle, heard air conditioning ducts crackling once/twice.

Drug companies would have loved that. I mean where is the money in a cure. This dude shows up, pays 10 grand and goes home happy.
Now if you can infect him with HIV on the way out, he pays for the rest of his life.

That is because he didn't write his full name, "Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Ahyan'"
what man, that is terrorist talk.
I have notified homeland security
You wouldn't know if its a porn or a preacher giving a sermon until you hit play, and then as soon as you observe it, it won't be either.

Canada has manufacturing off all those GM and Ford cars.
I don't think there is a need for that.

Beauty of free trade.
While all those Egyptians were protesting, this guy was tinkering. Sign of a true geek.
