]]> Comment on Modern-Day Wagon Trains by Freelance Generalist http://www.thepumablog.com/2008/10/13/modern-day-wagon-trains/#comment-289 Freelance Generalist Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:12:09 +0000 http://www.thepumablog.com/?p=55#comment-289 Wondered if this might make the going any easier. The city of Manchester in the UK has many of the problems of most 2019 western developed regions. I recently started a business called MobiFab with a mate, the concept is simple, Portable Fabricators running on biofuel and nanosolar panels placed in the back of Landrovers (or humvees depending on where you come from) the vehicles also run on biofuel and nanosolar panels. A contract has been negotiated with the city council and the money is used for vehicle repairs and feedstocks for the fabs. This allows us to provide many items in deprived areas, chairs, plates, sheeting for shelters and nanaosolar panels to help with local-scale power generation. I admit that your situation if far more hazardous and isolated but the fabs, if used sparingly, might be invaluable and they can be used to fab more nanosolar panels, these could be placed all over the vehicles that would take the strain off the main battery. The fabs are many years away from Nanotech (molecular manufacturing) beloved of futurist and science fiction author, but it might give you an edge and you could keep the whisky and save your liver. Look forward to any comments from you Wondered if this might make the going any easier. The city of Manchester in the UK has many of the problems of most 2019 western developed regions.

]]> Comment on Netflix to keep Profiles! by WildYams http://www.thepumablog.com/2008/06/30/netflix-to-keep-profiles/#comment-25 WildYams Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:16:53 +0000 http://www.thepumablog.com/2008/06/30/netflix-to-keep-profiles/#comment-25 Man, how did you actually get a response from Netflix? I send them emails all the time and have never received anything other than the standard "we received your email" message. I'm glad to hear they're going to keep Profiles, now if they could just make it a priority to replace all the old DVDs that are in 4x3 letterbox with the later anamorphic releases, those of us with widescreen TVs would be able to actually enjoy the DVDs they send us.

]]> Comment on Chrysler will offer wireless Internet access in 2009 models - Los Angeles Times by uconnectweb http://www.thepumablog.com/2008/06/27/chrysler-will-offer-wireless-internet-access-in-2009-models-los-angeles-times/#comment-23 uconnectweb Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:28:00 +0000 http://www.thepumablog.com/2008/06/27/chrysler-will-offer-wireless-internet-access-in-2009-models-los-angeles-times/#comment-23 Awesome! I've been keenly interested in this new emerging technology since I've first watched it on foxnews channel. I'm seeing a great potential for this technology which can probably drive Chrysler's sales for 2009. Also, I'm predicting this will be the trend and most other car companies will follow suit and would not dare leave themselves behind on this. Awesome!
