We can simulate realistic flight in a computer.... that is virtualized in another computer, which could be virtualized in yet another computer.
We can fly around the world, or build machines that can do it autonomously.
We've put people in space, built supercolliders, and provided all kinds of porn at the fingertips.
Which seems pretty advances, as societies go. Flying cars doesn't sound that impressive really. And we will always panic about terrorists and drunk teenagers.
that's like saying that Christ is an inspirational person with some really interesting teachings, but not the Son of God
This pretty much sums up the stance of the Jews and Muslims. And what do you know? The western world and the Christians just shrug and says to each their own.
Unless this thing has a gyroscope or accelerometers, I don't know how useful the braking and turning data is.
GPSR's really aren't THAT precise for those things.
Now I know someone's about to chime in with that "dopler shift" bullshit, but all consumer-grade GPSR's use position change over time for all movement measurements.
The speed data makes sense, not the rest of it. Maybe establishing driving habits, like too many hours on the road. Or when you drive, and where.... geographic and time data could show them who drives in high-accident areas.
What part of dystopian did you miss? There can't be any good news... the evil corporations stole all the sunlight and charges you a royalty for a copy of a photon.
Sci Fi is all about the guilt trip and foreboding warnings from those smarter than you who use just as much (or more) natural resources.......And catch phrases, you damn dirty ape!
I defy you to find any corporate-level management outside of Google and Facebook who can pull off fizz-buzz, let alone explain what a linked list is. Not even "barely".
Once in Pre-Ranger, we were in the field for 7 days and got around 2 hours of sleep TOTAL. Everyone was falling asleep, standing, walking, it didn't matter. Lay in the prone for a minute and you would have a dream that you were in the prone with a rifle, pulling security.... like your brain had to trick you to thinking you were awake just so it could get some rest.
Anyway, I was laying there pulling security in the patrol base while the PL planned the next mission and me and this white rabbit were talking about what we were going to eat when the school was over. We talked about sleeping for a few days and ordering pizza, etc, it went on for a while.
My battle buddy nudged me to tell me i had fallen asleep, and I actually tried to argue that I had been awake the whole time. "I wasn't sleeping, I was just talking to the.... nevermind."
If, by "refuse treatment" you mean he had multiple surgeries including a transplant, and flying to mysterious locations for exotic treatments, then yeah. That.
I thought the guy (and all Apple people) was a douche, but he did have a pretty crappy deal and fought it as well as most people could. Money-for-liver controversy notwithstanding.

Really?

Or Iraq.
Those Mercedes taxis and dumptrucks were from the 60s and are still running just fine. Obviously with some ingenuity and crafty upkeep but still.
Even printers that DO speak PCL and PS don't all work the same.
Feed-tray options are one big reason.
it really confirms nothing.
first off. before they are installed, the machines are usually OFF, and in boxes, stacked in the backs of trucks. not much GPS reception there.
then when you want to install them, they are usually in buildings. not much GPS reception there.
it is more likely going to try to get some data from the computer it is connected to.... or it really doesn't know where it is.
Not if you are a germ.

So, what you are saying is: I got 99 problems, but an invisible wizard ain't one.
Catchy. I like it!
Ahhhhh, when the two sides of the moral-relativism coin meet each-other.
This is usually how I win arguments against hippies.
Seriously? All I do is right-click the iso and select mount. I'm sure i could configure something for double-click if I felt like it.
It has been that way for years.
Hey, at least it isn't "Muslim Outreach".

50 comments down there, and not a mention of an AT-AT. For shame, slashdot.
I'll leave now before you all start pulling out your Precious'es.

Right....
Martys die because they go WITH the flow.

Correction: you grew up a douche.
Seriously, someone who summarily dismisses someone for going to college is worse than all the cocks who dismiss people for not going to college.
The good news is you will meet your "out of pocket cap" in a few hours.
The bad news is your insurance won't approve of the drug until the generics come out... some time in 2064.
It'll burn up in our atmosphere and what's ever left will be no bigger than a Chihuahua's head.
Lol... Unionized.
You'd actually have to do some goddamned work first.

You are more likely to die of heart disease than cancer.
So what?
There may at least a paper trail when a cashier is involved.
Some freedoms are just more equal than others.
are bill gates and steve jobs unsigned or signed integers? I tried it, but i think the endianness is screwing me up.

I think you miss the benefit of the "tax shelter" if the money you wish to "shelter" doesn't belong to you anymore.
