True patriots REAL AMERICANS don't need a map to tell them where their landmarks are located. Anyone that needs to use google maps to locate this rally is a communist or socialist anyways. Re:True patriots
As soon as a read this I realised I already knew it from somewhere, despite being having never set foot in the US. Turns out Fallout 3 is a more reliable source than Google Maps. Beck's Sheep Can't Find the Lincoln Memorial? Really, if a self-proclaimed conservative—a jingoistic, flag-lapel-pin-wearing, Go-America!-shouting patriot—a dyed-in-the-wool, red-blooded American doesn't know where the Lincoln Memorial is and can't remember a penny long enough to figure out what it looks like while in Washington, DC, he or she might as well give up right there and then, thrown down his or her misspelled, Obama-Iz-An-Atheest-Moslim-Commie-Crony-Of-Wall-Street-Not-Main-Street signs, exchange his or her copy of Going Rogue for a Socialist party membership card, and get in line to be shipped off to the FEMA internment camps, because some re-education is patently and sorely needed.

Re:cool
It'd need some way to determine how your eyes are focused though - whether you are intending to look at your hud or something distant. Hold up an object up to your eye about where your glasses would rest. Close the other eye that won't see the object. Look at the object, then look at the wall behind it.
Now look back at the object. Sadly, it isn't your eye. But if it had a fine enough resolution it could be compatible with your eye. Look down, back up. Where are you? You're on Slashdot looking for the display your display could look like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it, it's the iPhone 5 with a display so fine you can't tell the difference. Look again. The iPhone display is now a projector. Anything is possible when your device is made from nanoresonators and not a retina display. I'm modded up.

Re:What is the idea This term, "renewable", you keep using it, I do no think it means what I think you think it means. A "renewable" fuel is a fuel that we can make more of when we need it. It doesn't mean it's something we have to find in a ready state in nature. Hydrogen IS renewable. 100% renewable. We can make shitloads more of it, and you can't differentiate manufactured hydrogen from the stuff you'd find if we ever found it. Unfortunately, renewable does not mean readily-available. It just means we can make more. All we need is an energy source. And that is the problem with hydrogen. Hydrogen is, in essence, a battery with infinite recharges. You can separate it from water all day long, then burn it and re-integrate it with oxygen and have water again. It just takes shitloads of energy to separate it.

Oh great Let's just put up a giant flashing sign so Skynet can see us better. HEY, OVER HERE KILLER ROBOTS! Re:Oh great On the one hand, the complete annihilation of humanity (and perhaps all biological life on this planet) That's a tough one. Submitted by solafide on August 21, 2010 - 4:20pm.
French Considering that my diet consists almost solely of escargot, the number of pieces of snail mail that I get easily surpasses any of the available options. For breakfast I consume a mild one or two of the little shelled treats, but for lunch and dinner the numbers can grow to the lower teens. I also like to treat the cat once a week or so, which adds more. My supplier, though, only provides the snails in bulk, so I order a 3000-pack of escargot every three months. By the time the expiration date is reached, much of the escargot has gone bad, but that is the cheapest rate I could find. So, to determine the number of pieces of snail mail I receive per day: Snails Eaten Per Day = breakfast(1.5)+lunch(12)+dinner(12)+cat(1/7) = 25.64 Or, assuming an average of 30 days per month, I get about 33 snails per day. Either way, there's no option for my snail mail. Way to go, Slashdot. Submitted by veridicus on August 20, 2010 - 12:13pm.
So, to summarise.... If you're going to stand up and tell people you think someone else is wrong and hasn't properly understood the problem, make sure you're not basing your opinion on a second-hand re-telling of what the guy might have said. I'm off to tell PZ Myers that Alan Cox claims to have documented a cold fusion powered time-travel device in the comments of the -ac branch kernels.

Please don'd die My most common command to my Google Nexus phone is: "Please (beeeeep) battery, do not die. It's been just 3 hours since I fully charged you." I hope that the next generation of Android will teach the phone to obey. Submitted by mattozan on August 12, 2010 - 4:24pm.
Re:So serious What? So that you can do this? Captain Splendid: Oops... Looks like I'm dead. Damn... :( Captain Splendid likes 10 ways to tell that you are really dead Captain Splendid: Anyone have a res handy? Urgent! Captain Splendid: Where's the restore from quick-save option when you really really need it. Sigh... Captain Splendid: On the bright side, I guess I don't have to show up for work tomorrow :) @Boss. Captain Splendid: Hmm, wonder what time the funeral will be tomorrow. I'd hate to be late ;). Haha I kill me sometimes (but not this time, it was Professor Plum with the candlestick!).
