Comment Re:That is what you get... (Score 1) 608

Interesting .... could easily see that happening, it can all be quite confusing at the scene. Years ago when I moved to Edinburgh, Scotland I got lost in the streets and ended up driving up the Royal Mile into Larnach Castle. Got politely but firmly redirected by a pair of squaddies with machine guns. That could have gone pear shaped if I'd been distressed /paranoid and the soldiers trigger happy.

This will sell to lazy people of the same breed who buy pod coffee machines for home use.

There is an ever growing movement of people who don't want to eat anything that has loose synthetic origin or contains any "chemicals".

Coffee pod machines use std ground coffee with no additives, they in fact operate just the same as an espresso at a coffee shop, just with prepackaged coffee grounds. They produce real espresso with considerably less additives than instant.

Do you make the same critiques against Tea Bags?

Some offices don't even bother with Ethernet cabling anymore; they just use WiFi. This was unheard of 15 years ago, when Slashdot users were no doubt grousing about their homebuilder's oversight for not incorporating Ethernet into their homes during construction.

I predict 15 years from now, the constant need to be tethered to A/C will be obviated, either through wireless recharging, through improved device charge capacity, or through increased energy efficiency.

Or the next GFC/Global Warning/Asteroid strike will have reduced us to scrabbling in the ruins for AA batteries to drive our Nintendos
