As in for investor sentiment, not literally finance companies.
Re:The Compact Calendar 2023-2024 on Friday October 13, 2023 @02:55PM (#37874147)
I always wondered why most software calendars always put a line break between months. Feels like a vestige of wall calendars and oddly forced pagination.

I had dumb experiments like this a long time ago as well - https://roflopoly.com/infinical

This is an angle of VR that hadn't occurred to me other than entertainment.

Re:Guy builds nightvision drone to hunt feral pigs on Monday September 26, 2011 @05:55AM (#3038223)
Yes. He guides his brother(?) with the aircraft via walkie-talkie. There seemed like there was a point where the resolution of the camera wasn't high enough to figure out which was the hunter and which was the pig. Maybe easily solved if the hunter wore a flashing IR beacon or something.
