Not sure it will ever work well with just vision, how will it cope if you fling it over the pool on a day with moving clouds in the reflection? Fling it over an escalator and it may not come back.

The script commands are eerily similar to Modelsim (now owned by Mentor Graphics)

To be truly nerdy he would have to turn up at court to pay the fine with a forklift and a shrink-wrapped 60x60x60 stack of quarters on a palette.

Very brightly

Like to see that scenario.

(Actually that may be a bit harsh, ignorance may be a better word)

I assume you're more geeky than your wife, in which case do her a favour and buy a cheap heater and thermostat. Or install a electrically heated towel radiator (on a thermostat). Or one of those IR lamps used for keeping chicks alive in hen houses.

Sorry to be picky but do you mean the water frequently has high acidity? Or PH levels too far below 7?

You don't need energy in the elevator. Simply have two elevators and a pulley wheel at the top. Lifting something then is just a matter of capturing some space junk or asteroid of suitable mass and lowering it in the other elevator.

Engineers are not scientists, Scientific methods are handy in finding out what is wrong but the goal of most engineers is to get the thing working and go to the pub. If I could sacrifice a goat and get this FPGA working I would.

Belief in God or disbelief is hardly relevant to engineering.

It works with windows 7 and above and it requires Aero to provide the filtering.

I get headaches from blinding white backgrounds and after spending way too much time trying various solutions like CSS and Windows accessibility themes which don't work I found NegativeScreen.

It works by putting a filter over the whole screen and allowing you to apply a matrix transform on the pixel values. Out of the box it will reverse the colours so every window gets a black background but there are other transforms supplied (submarine mode is cool). And you can edit the config file to create your own, here's mine which adds a blue tint to the otherwise harsh black:

Blue Blacks=win+alt+F12
{ -1, 0, 0, 0, 0 }
{ 0, -1, 0, 0, 0 }
{ 0, 0, -0.85, 0, 0 }
{ 0, 0, 0, 1, 0 }
{ 1, 1, 1, 0, 1 }

Yes it is, just contact the mafia and expect to settle for a 10% cut.

works wonders with managers.

I'll just stick with the painting in my attic thanks.

No, it's 1985 again. Or even earlier. 1985 was when I found out an escape sequence that would reboot the HP100 portable computer my boss used to access the message system on the HP 3000 minicomputer. Cue me sending an email with it in the subject. The reboot took so long the messaging system logged you off and handily when you log in it prints the subjects of your unread emails and around you go again.

This kind of stuff never gets old.
