TECHNOLOGY

A few of my random thoughts, ideas, etc. All technology related of course.

Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing in there.

Imagine the day when you can go out and buy a vision product such as an addition to your everyday video camera that will allow you to see through walls. Well, see heat through walls actually. Then you can drive around and see what all those people are doing inside their homes. Heck, if they aren't home and their neighbors aren't home perhaps this device will aid mister cat burgerlar. Scary.

I came across an interesting article/program not too long about a similar product. I read or heard that Sony sold a home video camera that contained a special filter, which surprisingly enough, allowed people to see through clothing. Word got out and most of this Sony model ended up selling out. Fortunately they fixed the problem in the newer models. From the reports/visuals I have seen this "seeing through clothing" claim isn't all that great. So keep your clothes on and don't worry about it...yet.

Beware: technology can be used against you

Beware of giving out your everyday E-mail address to employeers. I don't think the day is far off when they start using DEJANEWS and the USENET to do a little background check to see if anything you have done shows up. If you do need to give out an E-mail address I HIGHLY recommend using an E-mail forwarding alias. And be extra careful when using this alias (i.e. don't post it anywhere on the net, including your own home page).

Bad day at the office

Here is an MPEG clip of a guy having a bad day with his computer at the office. Personally, I believe the scene was staged. If you don't believe me listen for the sound of WOOD being kicked (not a monitor mind you) towards the end of the clip.

D&J's Durable Language Translator
(Works with most Windows E-mail clients)

So, your just the average whitebread American but have a couple friends who speak in a slightly different language--the language of slang. Communication through E-mail doesn't seem to be working very well. Welll, have no fear cornbread, those days are numbered.

D&J's Durable Language Translator will convert between any of the following types of slang:

            - Jive/Ebonics
            - Hick
            - New Yorker
            - Oriental
            - Gang Bang
            - Russian
            - British
            - Spick
            - Sailor (caution: extremely course language)
            - Indian (Asian Indian)
We've done our best in bringing you a program that will allow you to melt right in with your commrades. Communicaiton via E-mail will never be a problem again.

A general word of caution surrounds this product as it can be result in unexpect and sometimes violent behavior by some "pc" individuals. Because of this we have decided not to allow this program to be distributed via the conventional "click to download" means. If you are interested in obtaining a copy you will have to contact "D" or "J"--either of them will be happy to assist you in the translated language or languages of your choice. One last item of note is that this product is for entertainment purposes only and should not be used for composing "professional" letters, memos, reports or related written articles.
