The real story of course is slashdot linking to a Fox News science and technology skit. Like the author even knows what a Beaver is, let alone where Canada resides . . .
Well with all of mankind's genius at our fingertips the one thing I have been missing is a pretty font. That and a girlfriend. And some FUCKING LIGHTS DOWN HERE PLEASE!
Well Flash has been around since 1996 where as of April 2010 HTML5 is still at Working Draft stage in the W3C. So maybe we are at the 'drop-in replacement' stage now but that hasn't been the case throughout Flash's rather long history.
FYI: The word 'and' is monosyllabic and therefore consists of only one 'part'. If you presume that this word is confusing the GP then maybe you could have taken the next intuitive step and insinuated that it is the whole word that is causing issues and not any 'part' of it. Unfortunately by not making this leap you are proving yourself to be a bit of a forum noob.
Well the simple fact is advertising executives have MUCH more experience than you in ascertaining the play-off between annoying/distracting and revenue clicks. And I guess your gut feeling loses out to their terabytes of data.
Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, and finally China.
if this goes according to plan then maybe 'auto-car' is right if not they missed off switzerland, france, spain, morocco, algeria . . . and auto-car becomes the modern equivalent of 'the fucking homing pigeon's lost again!'.
and as an addendum - the article authors have patently never tried cocaine - I like a cheeseburger as much as the next dude but to say that the hit is anything like cocaine is a bit like saying "I don't know what I am talking about - ignore me and everything I say!". And I know 'hit' is not a synonym for 'affects the brain' but if the implication is that the sensation of one is akin to the sensation of the other then the implication is wrong, and not by degrees either!
I guess it's out of our hands in much the same way as that Connect 4 token's final resting place is 'out of our hands' once we put it in the slot. Polymers falling into place is not the same as 'self-replicating intelligent life form'. Come back in a few million years and see if they've evolved!
They'll make their use mandatory because it results in zero crime. Or so they'll say.
Given that this is extremely unlikely it sort of makes the rest of your post redundant. Even if I wore these multi-faceted, augmented reality, net aware, government monitored eye wear I could easily just take them out. You know, like regular contact lenses. And as to your nightmare scenario of a future 1984, please remember that the vast majority of people on this planet are not even on the net and unless and until we alter the economic framework on which we distribute wealth this ain't gonna change anytime soon!
OK, cars. Just like any modern technology (take the Toyota Prius for example) there will be a fallback to tried and trusted 'old' technology. Yes indeedy.
Bah. Next thing you'll say is that lotteries are a waste of money . ..
Depends what your expectations are. I don't expect to win but can't help the excited anticipation which I get when I check the numbers. That excitement cost me one pound. Good investment if you ask me.

Yes, and with such accurate soothsayers in their midst what could possibly o wrong!

And why go underwater? Facebook security conventions should get you the requisite amount of isolation to practice for deep space travel!

especially given that I said 'episode' and meant 'quote' ;)
If Adobe can't build Flash to fit within the constraints of the device, then too bad.
Given the constraints aren't technical but political then the chances that Flash could jump through the requisite hoops are zero.
Which part of the word 'and' is confusing you?

I love the way your only statement of fact is a King of the Hill episode . . .

Indeed, but I thought mentioning I was a Swiss man with a border phobia would somewhat torpedo the joke.
TWO YEARS!! I'm 37 and haven't seen a summer in the UK yet!
You're worrying about your nipples!? Surely the main concern is going 30,000 feet in the air surrounded by nothing but a Fruit of the Loom. No.

Yeah, about that wealth distribution so how are those unemployment checks working out for you?
Being unemployed in the U.S. is no quite the same as dieing from unclean drinking water in Africa or Asia. Grow up.
I was just highlighting the closest method while still being alive . . .
and the closest method while being dead is . . . ? I'm thinking canons and space cremation!
I really, really hope you're being ironic.

BTW - I'm using the word "apparently" in the "please don't sue me" sense of the word.
