Comment Strange bedfellows here....... (Score 0) 209

This could encourage some elements of the American populace to start thinking about recycling, clean air enforcement and so on. Environmental Jingoism. I mean, if people are going to be bigoted and general douchenozzles anyway, why not put it to a cause that helps everyone? It would be a interesting campaign, to say the least. Though that would be a rather sad statement about America in general.

It seems like Microsoft is really going out of it's way to innovate in Windows 8. I just hope both Apple and Linux developers would add something similar, as it's hard drive failure can lead to huge problems. Yes, you can use RAID or something, but that will bring costs significantly up. It's better to see these things before failure actually happens.

Rather than take sane precautions with your data such as RAID and/or backing up your information, you want a warning 1 minute before your drive fails?

It might work too, If it weren't so easy to separate signal from noise. People like to pretend that they are random, Unpredictable. When in actuality it's rather easy to assign points to activities. A perfect example is the recent story of target sending advertisements for baby related things. Enough people had contributed enough data to anticipate a teenagers pregnancy needs before her father even knew.

1. Check to see if this ability enhances your sight during low level light. 2. Check the boundaries of your abilities and record such data. Is there a certain amount of UV light you can and can not detect? 3. Use this ability for a stealth motion detector. If a robber can't see in the dark, but you can, this would be a advantage. 4. Use this ability to sneak in late at night to prevent people yelling at you! :p 5. During a Solar eclipse, TOTALLY watch it, with proper protection of course. You will be recieving a special view that few humans will ever experience. :3

Comment For the uninformed like me.... (Score 1) 144

Can someone explain the difference here? I mean, will this allow bigger / better projects? I'm not a programmer and only vaguely familiar with some of the projects done with Arduino. I love the idea of a upgrade as much as the next person, but I was wondering if someone could give me a context of what can be achieved here that couldn't have before?
