did someone say flying car? http://youtu.be/IsFfBB2W7IA

Thank you. I always check my stocks after slash dot so now I won't be wondering why they say "no change".

The point that I have issue with is that all the sites affected can only sit back and wait and hope that things get back to normal. I have had many times to wait for the cloud provider to fix an issue with no notification back to me that it was fixed or where the status of the fix was at. I like to own the equipment I use and when it breaks my people are on it and I can ask them what is going on and a time frame. Sure sometimes the time frame is off and sometimes they don't know what is going on but at least I wasn't just sitting back and waiting for a blog to get update to let me know what is happening. That's internal to my location, if you want to talk about external to the satellite locations, that's another story.

But the cloud is so much better to use!

Oh so that is why it's so cheap to do!

Actually I wish they got more funding so they could do a lot more.

I can just see it now. I'm in a game and I get blasted by a flame thrower and I can feel it in my hands. I guess the next logical step after that will be bodysuits to really feel it all. And don't forget I still have a lot of hopes that they do smell-o-vision. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell-O-Vision

Forget about cars. What about food, water, a place to sleep and stay warm. Shouldn't those be a right and placed first in line and not this internet thing that seems to just be a craze.

I thought people across the pond use kph not mph when dealing with speed. If not then let me know what I'm missing. All I learn of that part of the world is from Doctor Who shows so sorry if I'm a bit confused. Although I do like the fish and chips not fish sticks and pudding.

A day to learn, a life time to master. Nuff said.

I wonder if they will charge for the waste disposal fee like they do with tires here in the USA. I buy a new tire and they bill me a dollar to dispose of it or the dollar they charge me to get rid of the oil when I do an oil change. OR will it be more like Best Buy where you bring in your stuff and they will tell you how much they will give you for it since you have to buy a new item, or will take it off your hands for free. Although they don't take back certain things.

I camp quite a bit and I don't travel light, I have 4 man tent of the 4 season type (yes I do camp in the middle of the winter), gas stoves that I use to cook for 4 people, 5 or 6 solar lights that I stake into the ground for night light (I have a kerosene lamp as back up), the usual tarps, ground cloth, clothing, gas heater buddy for winter camping (keeps the tent warm), gas heater for the shower (used a solar shower this is just better), although I did buy the 1 lb sleeping bag that is good to -20F, And I take a book or two with me. Camping with electronics is a pain. Waking up with morning dew all over a camera (and in it) or phone since it was left sitting out all night, or still on you for when you fall a sleep around the camp fire is not nice. Or when it rains or if there is a lot of fog in the air again not good for the device. It's really about having one less item to worry about keeping safe. I take several books on outdoor lore that I've had for years and some reading books with me.

The reading ones I sell back to a second market book re-seller which I then put towards my next book. http://www.hpb.com/ I actually sold them my Borders e-reader when I upgraded my android tablet to a 7" Polaroid which I carry with me all over the place (yes in addition to the paper back books that I still read) but I leave at home when I go camping. Also I have a Sylvania android tablet that I plan on getting rid of soon.

Now if my trip only involves me staying in hotels then that's something else I take my e-reader to do my e-mail and such. But for when I'm out in public I still use a paper book because getting mugged is not fun. If the devices cost 10 dollars and were as cheap to replace I wouldn't have a problem of showing my wares to everyone (and locked down for id safety purposes)

And e-readers still lack things. Things like sun light (although haven't tried the kindle) and the problem with falling asleep at night because of the back light affecting me. Also the whole dirty hands trying to make the pages turn, and not to mention keeping the thing clean from dirt and sand from the beach and so on. It's just easier to take a paper book.

If you are traveling you may just want to pick up a few paper books. Several reasons for this. 1) cost. Although some paper books can and do cost a lot if you pick something cheap it makes sense. 2)you don't have to worry about power 3) Stealing something valuable. Where ever you go you have to be on your guard since they see you have this high price item and will be thinking you got a lot of cash, time to liberate it for themselves. 4) Safety. See #3. If you have something nice and shiny, depending upon the people around you someone could follow you and want to take it way, putting you in harms way. Although as everyone knows it could just be something else they are looking at like your watch, cloths and so on. On trips I always try to look nondescript so no one thinks I got any cash or valuable stuff on me. In my car I got a lot of trash in the back seats so people think my car is crap and wouldn't want it.

Just my thoughts.

I want two of them. Placed on either side of my drive way will do. It would show people I mean business.
