Comment Re:Bose QuakeGaurd® (Score 1) 101

I think you just wrote the plot to the next syfy movie of the week (after Snarknado 2): a small group of geologists notice a series of small quakes. They believe a much larger one is coming. They try to warn people but no one listens. As the story unfolds one of the geologist is reunited with her former boyfriend -- a computer hacker. As time is about to run out, they hack into all the computers on the west coast and set them to play a certain sound. This ends up stopping the earthquake.

Crazy? Yes. Too crazy for SyFy? No.

He said he tried to do it efficiently by looking at where the customer was and where the closest non-busy taxi was and sending that one. Turns our the taxi drivers didn't like it. They wanted him to send them out in order so they all got the same number of fares.

Bob: "Yeah. Buy something that costs a lot. We dare you."

John: "Something that costs millions of dollars"

Mark pulls out his phone and makes a call...
