So about my separate passenger compartment and sled idea:

I figure that instead of complete cars, there will be more of a storage shed model. You know like the PODS (Portable On Demand Storage) where “they” deliver basically a big box on a pallet, you fill it, and they move it to your new house/apartment or storage unit.

It also took an independently thinking engineer to put in that little hole by the disk drive slot.

Would you consider this to still be a problem in a car with airbags?

This is probably because, now that it’s documented, they are liable for damage to any car that hits the pothole. So it’s best to report the potholes- it lets the city know where to fix them (hey, does Waze have a road hazard reporting feature?) and it gives anyone who hits it an avenue (ugh) for redress.

It’s only one of many passive aggressive methods to be the squeaky wheel. One hope Wanksky had the potholes reported before drawing on them. It would be more of a “It was reported and you didn’t do anything” than a “You guys should just know where the potholes are” kind of thing.

They had to end the article with a “think of the children” ploy, didn’t they.

It wouldn’t be surprising if whoever ran the taxis had a premium personal pod pricing plan.

Have your own DNS server redirect any queries from the camera to your own server and hope they didn’t encrypt it too well.

How much are you willing to pay for the cloud services per year? $99 too?

I figure this is a foreshadowing of how people are going to (and have been treating) global warming and needing to reduce carbon emissions.

Thus proving that LA is very mutagenic.

I've used freezer Zip Lock bags for over twenty four hours for my short ribs and not had any problem. But this was without a circulator, just counting on convection currents.

Projectiles trailing wires to create plasma? Sounds like a Lorentz gun. But it has to contact something actually grounded to complete the electrical path, and it's a linear plasma field- not very good a providing a shield.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting a new computer but kept hearing about better and faster ones coming in just a few months... :)

That's exactly what I was asking when the Palm IIIc came out. Now how many monochrome PDAs do you see around?

The current pebbles are not E-Ink, they are e-paper, which could be (and, in this case, is) a different technology.

Personally, I don't want e-ink. It doesn't have the refresh rate for some things you might want a wearable to do (second hand, stopwatch, fast scrolling through lists, etcetera (why does Firefox's spell checker not have the word "etecetera?)).

Do you think NASA would use the local time or UTC? (I'm not finding the timestamp, but I'm not looking too hard either)

Yeah, I was thinking this. Leatherman has some 1/4" drive bits that are flattened hexagons (but still fit 1/4" drive sockets) that would be nice and low profile enough for a custom molded silicone bracelet/watchband.
