FYI - it shouldn't be that difficult to set up a system where you can put things where you want them to be in a certain area and have it scan it to remember where everything should be, only using the placement-algorithms with unrecognized items or as a default setting.

because combined with a romba, this is like the perfect house maid.

something that really should exist:

search for any music-clip or movie, click it, watch it (with ads or pay to watch it without).

no limitations by country
no picking up servers
no underground malware filled websites
no producers cut offs - sponsor or pay.

we have had the technology for years, just not the political infrastructure.

Traceur's TEDTalk clip reminded me of this (can't remember if I found this here, or not):



Replace the baton with a longneck BudLight, and then ya got something.

That is truly amazing programming !

By coincidence, last week I watched a teenage girl practicing
with one of those old fashioned toys: a cup on a handle, a ball on a string like this:

Where the object is to swing the ball up and catch it in the cup.

Apparently, that sort of thing would be "child's play" for these guys.

makes me wonder if the aerodynamics of the quad would still work if it was placed beneath a tray.

i'm really open to the idea of having them waitress, i'd even treat it like i would like to treat a waitress, but... on which side is the bum?

A magnet implanted into your sides, with a corresponding magnet in your purse so when you've got your purse on your shoulder and try to grab the trash you're taking out or rinsing out your coffee cup the damn purse doesn't flip in front knocking things over and falling off and pissing me right the fuck off so much I want to stab stab stab my purse.

Go to this (pdf) showing several types/sizes of expanded metal mesh. The last column shows the "% open area" for each. It can run from 40% to over 75%.

Years ago, I saw charts in the Engineering Handbook or McMaster-Carr catalog, showing how much screen and woven wire mesh block.

I'd like to see how that make the steel mesh out of one plate of metal.

When doing work on my house, I've run into a plaster reinforcing mesh at the corners of some walls. That stuff is a bitch to cut cleanly through to do a patch. It wants to take the whole wall with it.

You could experiment with a belt, before going all-out on surgery.

I find more and more that I need a "Fuck All" button. Kinda like the Staples 'Easy Button'. Bad day? "Fuck All" that shit.
