Nike makes the Maxsight
http://www.bausch.com/en_US/consumer/visioncare/product/softcontacts/nikemaxsight.aspx
Basically they have a version of the lenses that is supposed to make things like a tennis ball appear brighter which in turn makes it easier for you to track visually.
From the description
Developed by Nike and Bausch & Lomb, Nike MAXSIGHT is a soft contact lens that eliminates glare and increases contrast. The two tints, grey-green and amber, are tuned to different sporting needs. Grey-green is for sports played in bright sunlight, where visual comfort is a concern, and amber, is for sports like tennis that require tracking a fast-moving ball.

Crackers?! are you trying to imply all hacks/exploits are made by southern white americans aka rednecks? For shame!
A tram leaves Prague traveling at 47Kph. At what time does it arrive at its destination?
A: Its scheduled time, unless it passes through Lodz, Poland in which case the answer is Never.
Apparently we just don't care. As long as my life runs smoothly I don't care. Bush is president and we didn't elect him who cares! We should be outraged we should demand this be fixed but the country as a whole or even a majority of the country doesn't seem to care. There was more outrage(IMO false outrage) over what Don Imus said and that didn't effect anyone. We've had it too easy for too long and we've lost the ability to learn to stand up and be heard when we're being wronged./rant
It says we don't care. With the last election still in question to this day the country as a whole or even a majority doesn't seem to care that we have such a flawed system. What is it going to take a company offering $500,000 to someone that can improve the overall system so that it has an accuracy worthy of a decision this big. There was more outrage(IMO false outrage) over what Don Imus said and his words effect no one!
The closer to the speed of light you travel the less you are effected by time. If the universe is expanding slower and slower than we are moving slower and slower. If we are moving slower we are experiencing time faster. And if time is running out that it is running out at an exponential rate as we are running out of time and getting to that point faster every "second".

Everybody assumes the kid mouthed off to the teacher because he is a kid but for those of us that RTFDetention it doesn't say that anywhere. Nor does it say this computer wasn't the kids(I assume it wasn't but its just an assumption). Lastly the school allows downloading and installing if this is a school computer so it if it was against the rules to install things thats a different story but no where does it say that either. So really, it does sound like a power trip from someone that just didn't know what "foxfire" is./FnStory
how long will it be until someone sends DNA in from someone other than themselves without that person's knowledge, its a cheek swab now which would be pretty rough to get but its not impossible.
Also I cant wait till its $5 for a swab and we get civilians doing there own CSI:insert your name here.
In the Hebrew Calendar we have a leap month. 7 of every 19 months. I don't follow that calendar except to find out when the major holidays are but its explained here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_calendar
Would a device like this work on someone who doesn't know how to speak english or better yet a baby that speaks no language at all, if so then we just invented the universal translator, live long and prosper trekkies.
The little article I saw about this said they measured people for a month with three keyboards: QWERTY (i.e. blackberry), numeric (i.e. RAZR), and iPhone. They said the iPhone people typed faster, but had more errors.
I wonder if this was fair. The people they found had no experience with the iPhone I'm guessing. But had they used the other two before? Or were these people who never did any kind of text messaging before on the other kinds of phones, or had they used them just a little? That could make a difference. I don't know if this was fair but it definately wasn't conclusive for the simple reason that it doesn't test all forms of text input. On a typical cell phone you can enter text either by hitting a key multiple time until the correct letter is selected (#2 once for A twice for B three times for C) or you can use a predictive text method where hitting 843 will automatically display the word "the". The issue now also becomes different companies use different methods to how they choose the word the phone thinks you mean. On an LG every time you hit 4663 you'll get the word "good" but on the Motorola system if the phone figures out that most of the time when you type 4663 you want the word "home" it changes and display "home first. This sounds great but truthfully is a pain as you never know when its going to change what word comes first. When I use to have my LG I could "touch" type never looking at the screen as I know what words the phone was choosing. If I wanted "good" I hit 4663 if I wanted "home" I hit 4663# (# changes to the next known word for that key combination)
While I know this isn't what was being tested it does possibly skew the results.
As an amateur poker player, I'd say I have a better chance of winning the world series of poker While true even if you do when your cost to winnings ratio is a lot worse so you should have a better chance of winning. Its $10k to play in the WSOP and what will next years payout be about 10 million. Is it just me or is a $1 "buy in" to 370 million payout a lot better?
And just so we're clear I think gambling should be legal.
Did you know that there are plenty of 360s available and there was a recent price drop with the 360 and that there are still some places that can't get a Wii in stock because nintendo has produced/released enough to satisfy supply and demand.
About two years ago a story came on the local news saying if you do a search in a program like Morpheus for w-4 that peoples taxes returns popped right up to download. Sure enough I tried it and it works. I felt so bad that I used the address on the form called the guy told him what I did and how I did it and that it was on the news for all to see. I then had to play tech support rep to step by step teach this guy how to change his settings so it no longer shared his My Documents folder. Just before I hung up I also told him to call one of the 3 credit agencies and flag his account for fraud. Somehow even after all that I still have bad karma on here.
Or does that picture look like a deleted scene from ET, when he puts together his signaling device?
And on a side note, it took me an hour to get 2 pcs connected to my new G express router when they were 15 feet away, how long must this have taken?
After reading this article you only have gains from these sensors if they were in every car and the control is given over to the computer. How would they implement this requiring it in every car? Can the government get that passed? Wouldn't this also require gps in every car and if so there is another slashdot article about how that isn't going so well in Europe.
I don't know about you but I am not ready to give control of my car over to a computer, granted it could do the job better but I have never in my life experienced a human BSOD.
I doubt we see this kind of Demolition Man like technology any time soon.
People are funny that way. It's not a 'robot thing,' it's a 'complicated machine' thing. When a device gets complicated enough that it develops "quirks" (problems that are difficult to diagnose and/or transient), there's a tendency to anthropomorphize them. But the tendency to do it decreases with the more knowledge you have about how it works. E.g., the people who give names to their cars are generally not auto mechanics; likewise I suspect the designers of the de-mining robot would probably have not had as much of a problem testing it to pieces (or rather, their objection would probably have been "I don't want to watch six months of work get blown up," not "that's inhumane to the robot"), because they know what goes into it. Im surprised by this statement I mean the captain of any ship will usually name it and care about its well being but they also know more about that ship then most people. How about the guy that works the controls to this robot I bet he is the same guy that repairs it when it hasn't been blown to shreds, I bet he's got a name for it and feels closer to it than anyone.
If the government intends to use RFID in these cards I for one must pass. I tried to look up the article that I thought was from wired mag but could not find it. Self edit I did find it http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.05/rfid.html
Its just to easy to steal the rfid, and until they can get something safer I for one won't have it if I can stop it. The only rfid card I have lets me into my condo and that gate is broken so often one only needs to wait before the gates are pinned open if you want to steal something.

Because you loose 40% of your winnings to taxes so he would net a lose of about 78 million.
