Reminds me of that quote I can't seem to find from Back to the Future where Doc Brown is marveling a the "entire television studio" he's holding in his hand. (the camcorder) The OP is like Doc, at a loss to comprehend how technology can't *possibly* advance that far. And yet that's how it does it, over and over and…

Would you like some cries to go with your waahburger?

I'd hope that's well off the front porch when the little inflammables come up with their bags.

So does anyone else see that big black tether cable down and right of the phone? That's too big to be a charge cable, that's a VIDEO cable. Who can I sucker on a bet that there are no guts in that phone short of a flexible (touch?)screen, and that the cable leads to the rest of the phone hidden under the desk? …

Nothing new RIM does would surprise me at this point. But the funny thing is, they may live through it. I just have a feeling. Too many PHB's that will buy gold plated sh*t if it has the right name on it. I'm pretty sure that's their only chance at avoiding bankruptcy sometime in the next few years. "Never…

The apprehension of a high profile / high value criminal is a HORRIBLE way to try to justify widening the scope of a law. Good laws are written in such a way that a few criminals slip by in exchange for no innocents being detained. Widening the loop on laws like this means you catch more criminals, and also catch…

Seat belts really haven't changed a lot in the last ~20 years. The prevalence and need for "booster seats" in cars to keep kids from severe injury in an accident are a good sign that seat belt technology needs to be worked on. And to deal with differing heights of people, the upper anchor point needs to be…

Aircraft like that have a wide variety of different systems in them. Some are more important than others. Systems that keep the plane in the air and the pilot alive during normal conditions are the top two priorities, without those nothing else matters. There's no excuse for a jet to not have a guaranteed system to…

"Unmanned Underwater Vehicles"... remote and highly-maneuverable extra set of eyes and ears. "

>>A trojan is a type of virus. "Trojan" refers to its method of attack - it disguises itself as something you want so that you allow it into your system.

>>Why? I don't understand why the iPhone 4s is faster...

>>What is the best/legal way for me to download this?

It doesn't require a lot of force. Even a little force (fraction of a newton) will hold and can move objects in zero-g. What I'm having difficulty with is thinking of applications where you have the time to deploy something like that. Odds are good if you have an object you need to grab, it's slowly floating away…

I would be a lot more impressed if there was something identifiable behind the cloaked image - a flat cream/white wall is NOT a good test. I could "cloak" something in front of that wall using a $6 can of matching paint. Also makes me wonder how blurry the background looks when seen through this rig. And the…

This ought to do wonders for law enforcement's revenues due to OWI. People will feel fine to drive even after their BAC is way above legal limit. The breathalyzers don't care if you're on meds to limit the amount of impairment the alcohol has given you.

it's simple really. they get you when you're young and stupid. and by the time you've matured enough to realize you're being stupid, you're chemically addicted. and they gotcha. Kids do lots of stupid things, but most of them you can just quit doing when you realize you're being an idiot. Chemical additions…

look around, there aren't any other pumpkins. This one is engineered, they remove all the other pumpkins so the plant pumps all its energy into that one. And they may have done other things like splice together numerous plants to further boost nutrients to that one pumpkin.

Hopefully this shuts up the people whining about the cost of the cable. (since it has many active components at both ends) Upgrade your thunderbolt for one new $50 cable rather than a $170 card on BOTH ends of the connection. (and that's assuming you don't have a laptop and can't even DO that)
