Nice one - I undertook a journey on Sunday for the first time with GPS assistance, and the feeling of being in a computer game was uncanny, until the battery ran out. |
|
| |
i thought of this mainly because i often placed phone calls a la "where are you right now ?" or "where exactly should i go now ?". |
|
| |
in case i want to meet someone at a place unknown to him / her, i could send an SMS: 1120 bits should be enough to give detailed GPS information plus some unwanted metadata. |
|
| |
speaking of sms: i have already sent an XPM via SMS when i had no internet. |
|
| |
My car has a navigational display on the dashboard that shows the direction of travel with the next turn if imminent, with a bar and numerical countdown in yards or miles (depending on distance). (This is in addition to the map that you can't really look at while driving.) |
|
| |
I'm thinking the UPS guys will already have something like that. |
|
| |
It's been mentioned here before, but as a snippet of something literally "quite interesting", due to someone working out the comparative costs, UPS guys follow routes designed around the premise that they can only ever turn right. |
|
| |
//can only ever turn right.// |
|
| |
Well, in erms of cost savings, you'd only need half a steering rack... |
|
| |
Can we have one that says "You have a
Blackberry - please turn sharp left at the
next bridge"? [EDIT] Sorry. I'm in a bad
mood. See my profile for reason. |
|
| |
Your predicament sounds easily resolved. Why the bad mood? |
|
| |
<tangent> You need a license for a TV? What does obtaining said document involve? |
|
| |
<radically off-topic> It sounds easily
resolved, but isn't. Both the letter AND
the licence have the wrong postcode,
but reached me nevertheless. My
attempts to get them to register the
right postcode for me have failed three
times. So, my actual postcode has no
TV licence, despite the fact that they bill
me for it directly. I thnk it's the sort of
situation that Douglas Adams would
have written a book about. |
|
| |
Yes, you need a licence for a TV in the
UK because it subsidises non-
commercial (advert-free) TV. It's
controversial but hey. Obtaining one is
meant to be easy. I. Am. Ready. To.
Kill. |

what worries me is when I feel part of a jigsaw or worse, a sudoku puzzle. pinch me, I'm dreaming... |
|
| |
Yes, but if you're dreaming then you
dreamt you asked me to pinch you, in
which case my doing so for real would
constitute assault, no? |
|
| |
I'd remember, no worries. gently please, no nails. |
|
| |
This is getting kinky. I don't think I can do
kinky and angry at the same time. Can I
get a what our American cousins refer to
as a raincheck? |
|
| |
Do you think I could get one that told me when the next time would be that I'd be going toward a certain place? |
