I've invented an ad-blocking technology that is entirely funded by proceeds garnered from companies who will pay us to put small marketing statements, catch phrases, and logos on the visible interface of the software while the software is running.
specialization is what kills trust. the more we specialize, the fewer true peers we have, and the truly brilliant breakthroughs are harder to understand, translate, and verify. this equals a system with inherently less trust.
i brought this up before, and was shouted down a little bit.
i think it's less like the future leaking back to prevent the present, and more like the present just isn't capable of reaching the future we expect.
it's like the first time you ever put two little toy magnets together, north pole to north pole. not really knowing anything about them, you think they might stay, but one flips as soon as you take away your hand. try as you might, there is no way for you, as a child, to keep them together effectively. eventually you give up and walk away. your present can't reach a future in which the magnets stay aligned in a way which you desire.
so you just have one pigeon from the other office boxed up with your memory stick. the first pigeon arrives, you take the other office's pigeon out of the box, take the memory stick, put in a new memory stick, put your pigeon in the box, attach the box to the previously boxed pigeon, and send him back from whence it came.
I'd be worried that if all my runs were full-electric, that is to say that my 10 mile commute never required the car to dip into the gasoline, that without treatment, the gasoline could break down and gum up the injectors - like when you store a boat or mower over the winter...but who wants to drive around with a stabilizer-mix full time? that's gotta put a big hit on efficiency and power if you ever need the combustion engine to kick in.
i don't think i've ever seen that issue discussed when hybrids are brought up.
i'd expect this to lead to a false sense of security, causing a rise in the casual encounter rate, followed rapidly by a huge growth in the infection rate.
am i the only one worried that with a boom in windfarms, the drag on the earth's rotation will increase, slowing it and lengthening the day, making me stay at work *that* much longer?
that's a great sentiment. what age do you think it's appropriate to let a child "figure out" a penis pump?
i have a 5 old and a 7 year old. i don't want to censor or shelter their lives, but i do want to normalize it to some degree. i don't have to worry about "penis pump" ads on nickelodeon or disney, or even cartoon network during the day, why can't they have access to an email account with similar expectations?
hey, i don't even want to read their email. i'm not worried about them falling for a 419 scam. i don't care if they tell their friends that i'm weird. just let them stay kids until they aren't kids.
i've never understood how someone pointing a laser up could hit a pilot in the eye. most planes i've seen have windows on the top half of the cockpit, meaning you'd have to be on a similar elevation or above the airplane to even come close.
if you want to influence the kids, don't let the athletes with bodies wrecked by years of enhancements just fall off the map to shrivel and die in the corner, no, force them to continue competing. show kids what happens after the glory wears off. the problem isn't that the bad stuff is hidden up front, it's that we hide the ugly effects on the back-end.

it's genius!
i've said it before, i'll keep saying it.

I happen to know for a fact that the current SCCA prosolo and solo2 national champion has played GT extensively as well.
will we see some more innovative sampling, legal enough to go mainstream again?

you only have to try in the last few seconds of the game, and even then you're just a crapshoot and a bad bounce away from a win or a loss.
blech.
if homeland security (ostensibly a government entity) spent the money to develop it, is it patentable?

agreed.
but you can boil it all down to "you can be right, or you can be happy."
i heard a comedian say it, on tv.
my wife hits me when i say it.
i'm nearly 100% certain that it's accurate.
if it isn't able to exist at all times, it isn't an effective way to control time travel.
recursive.
1. once an effective way to control time travel is discovered, said method will be able to exist at all times.
2. no method has yet been discovered.
therefore,
3. the method cannot be discovered.
and finally,
4. any device which will allow its discovery cannot ever be operational.
it's in the manual, dummies.
more people own hd-dvd players than own ps3s? really?
he made $6.00 an hour, and he was complaining about being overpaid?
nice.
sensors that measure the delta in the weight of items in the passenger area before you get in and after you get out.
it could trigger a healing process, or it could release noxious fumes, killing the user.
it's like a 70-30 chance, don't worry about it.

but, i'm paranoid.
can we make machines believe that they do?

hand crafted web sites? barf. i totally prefer the pre-fab plasticy kind we have now.

unless they have those new bendy-lasers.
they must be working up to the atom. this means war! bomb the crap out of those planty bastards.
I hit stuff to fix it all the time, why shouldn't they?

what? that would be cruel and unusual?
damn.
