I was going to reference that movie "Teeth" about the hungry vagina. Then I remembered he is a/.er, so that generally precludes productive contact with hot chicks, even if it is just serving them dinner;)
I saw an article recently that claimed that 11.something % of ALL web traffic was related to do-no-evil Google. An astonishing number (also astonishing is Facebook's 7.07%).
With even 5% of web traffic able to be collected, categorized, linked, crosslinked and inferred through traffic heuristics... Holy Shit what a force to be reckoned with!
It almost makes me feel bad for the average chump (Corps included, staffed as they are by AFCs), since they willingly give all this info to the bots.
A properly paranoid person would ask for a search anonymiser(sp) to act as a proxy and hunt down random crap to obfuscate the real results.... Anyone know of a service like that I can use?
On the flip side, we'll probably look about as advanced as primates to an advanced alien life form, who will probably perform experiments on us.
What is to say that is not already happening? Take a look at US government and the military and you will see the (self-proclaimed) advanced lifeforms are already doing this. (alien infestation theories aside).....
How about using this to power a farming community, using the farm waste to fuel your methane plant, and repaying them in electricity. Cow manure and agricultural waste make LOTS of methane. I have heard of farms that produce their own power(and a little extra to sell back to the grid) just off a methane based power plant fueled from the waste they produce. Once the bio-matter is properly consumed, the sludge can go back on the fields.
Seriously guys, if we are going to go green, we need to look at self-sustaining systems.
While I am immensely interested in the development of Symbian(as I hate my work provided Windows "smart" phone) I am glad I am a sysamdin, not a developer. Knowing I could do wonders if I invested tons of my time seems somehow futile. I would rather ride the backs of skilled developers and provide constructive criticism (and lots of homemade beer) than do the actual work myself.
Thank you for making me appreciate my role in this process so much more.
If ever you find yourself in Fredericksburg, VA, hit me up, and I will gladly drop you a few liters of my 11% Warhammer Stout, just don't go to sleep with the provided buzz running, or you will understand the "warhammer"(to the head) part of the name.

Funny, I was wondering how he'd pull off an 8 to 5 job when he has the 4 kids from 7 to 3.
Talk about a forgiving schedule or a kid-friendly work environment, and doesn't that interfere with their school. or does the megacorp handle their education too.... now that's inducting them into corporate culture early!
And if this promotes muscle growth where it is used most, most of us Slashdotters will end up with just one Superhuman Arm.

The cost of building a trebuchet and enjoyment of launching the older printer over the Potomac River is well worth the cost of buying a new printer every few months.
Motor control, yours, not the car. Not everyone can be a surgeon, not because of lack of funds, but lack of fine motor control. The size of the joystick makes a huge difference. How many of us were clumsy as F**k when we were growing up? Ever get an adrenaline rush? Remember the shakes that go with it? A near accident would do that for a person, and holding the (nice secure) steering wheel with both hands as you calm down is common. Imagine those shakes affecting your car. My Father-in-law gets tremors he can't control, what would happen to his driving? What if your blood sugar drops and you get shaky or lose your fine motor control? Too much caffeine or nicotine... Does the joystick support the weight of the arm that is controlling it? Most people cannot hold their arms out for very long, muscle fatigue sets in. I think the idea sounds good, but most people could not handle joysticks at all much less switch to them from regular controls.

This almost sounds like a lead in for "scientific excuses" for chemtrails.
Oh, look, its the turbo-props causing the lasting contrail, those jets are not equipped with special sprayers at all.

You certainly sound angry.
Bitter even.
You ever see Hedwig and the Angry Inch?
Wow, who woke up the Grammar Nazi?
He's got nothing on Shampoo.
This is Slashdot, most of the readers don't know what (non-caffeinated) soap is, much less shampoo!

I find your proposition utterly preposterous! ;)

Did they take into account emptying the clip? My Glock-23 holds 13 rounds and I'm sure I will pop off at least 10 of them unless I take a head shot.

Now your provider does not want an arm an a leg for shows,
just blood!
Wonder what pr0n needs?...
And let me tell you, it takes a hefty awl for the job!
Thank you, Darkness404, for pointing out the cycle we are currently stuck in.
What about an INTERPOL investigation into Obama's origins and his doings as the POTUS?
Under this order, all that becomes locked and sealed away, including their evidence!.
Talk about covering one's tracks!
It's a usrr supper weapon
Much like Borscht!
When she read the article her first words were "Where do we get one of those?" O.o
Funny, I laughed and called out the RSS summary to my wife who was playing with our kid in the next room and she had the same response!
I said "Don't you think thats a little personal?"
She replied "Not with one of these!" and shot me a big grin =D

Me-thinks someone sounds jealous they did not think of it first.
Slow may work, but I would really like it if the ATM (and cashier/register) were quite a bit faster.
By some accounts we are all doing business as corporations, hence the all caps listing with SSA, DMV and most legal docs.
