but we all have occasions where we need to stop in a bus zone for a minute to drop something off
No, we don't. Unless you live in a village, your "one minute" stop is influencing hundreds of cars, creating a collective loss much greater than "one minute" that you're imposing on the society for egotistic reasons.
The one and only effect I'd enjoy of camera traffic control (being completely against it) is that it would reduce the dozens of "one minute quick stops just to drop something" that make me lose hours per year.

The ones who are actually going to become good game devs are already making maps, mods, skins or even full-on games with their pirated version of Creative Suite 5.7.whatever, so you don't need to worry about them.
Well, I do have mod points but you're already at +5 so I'll just add in to the cheer.
There's no reason not to be making videogames other than now wanting to enough. What would you tell someone who asks you what to study to be a writer and who's never written a story?
Some people have enough problems already, having to go through life with such limitations. You should treat them with as much respect as you offer to the normal people.
If there is a measurable energy field around all things, then there might be something to things like Reiki and other eastern traditional medicines.
Congratulations for being able to follow such line of reasoning. Personally, I can't even fathom the degree of idiocy one must bear to accept such an argument as valid.
I remember that story too. I remember feeling sorry for the frog. I imagine that it would feel like you were being electrocuted. That high of a magenetic field would likely induce funky currents in your nerves.
The magnetic fields weren't so high and, as the process lifted the frog by its water, the creature probably just felt weightless as if floating in dry water.
An old man, sitting in his couch, watching himself in an old college football match. Repeating over and over the twenty seconds where he scored a touchdown.
But the old man isn't really old. He has a strong, young body. He could stand up and go play another football match. Score another touchdown. But he's too tired, so he'll just play the old tape. Over and over again.
One day we'll invent this magical system of "getting things done outside of the government", but I guess until then, we'll be stuck with having the government run everything.
Doing things requires work. Work is made by people. People ask for money in exchange for their work. There are limited sources of money:
1 - Other people. Insufficient amounts unless you can make a very large number of individuals pay.
2 - Corporations. Wont't invest without a defined ROI, which isn't clear in pure space exploration.
3 - Governments.
So, as you sarcastically refer to non-government based financiation, are you implying you've got a ROI to offer to corporations? Or you have an idea to get a lot of people to donate money for space exploration.
If you have the answer to either of those, you're welcome to share it.
Nasa gets less that 1% of the budget, while Medicare, Social Security and Welfare get 57%, Defense gets 19% and the interest on the debt is 5%.
Do you see the problem here?
Yes. Someone should've played more Civilization.
With 19% in Defense USA should've invaded at the very least his own continent. And 1% in research isn't going to get them to Alpha Centauri any time soon.
Lower research to 0%, lower all health to 5% (no need for so much pop anyway) move everything else to defense and go for the domination victory before the japanese start deploying giant robots.
The basic problem is this: Projects in NASA take longer than a president will be in office.
The basic problem is that commercial (practical uses) and scientific (pure investigation) exploration shouldn't be tied. Furthermore, space exploration/investigation shouldn't be tied to a government.
NASA should separate into practical and scientific. Then, after the ESA and other space agencies have done the same, the scientific divisions should join in a United Space Agency (with a different name, but you know what I mean).
You can't remember your passport number? No worries, your Facebook Identity card will say who you are. And how many friends you've got. And the name of your pet. And whether you went to the bathroom at your usual time that morning. And what kind of men you find attractive.
The difference is that Apple has paid licensing fees.
I would need a citation for that. Who did Apple pay for the fire? plastics? electricity?
Never forget that you're talking about a non-natural law concept that shouldn't be treated as moral law.
If a different country doesn't share your mercantile laws, tough luck. You change that by military or economic threats, but you have no moral claim on those rulings.
I would have a different opinion were we talking about human rights, for example, in which you have both morale and law on your side.
Funny, I always said that is a case of them doing whatever the hell they please because they have no appreciation for the hard work of others.
Because, as we all know, Apple developed their products from scratch. They started with the fire, then the hardened wooden spear, etc. Up to the iPhone.

This also makes you wonder what else is being done "for our safety", when in reality it's just a way to take your money.
It doesn't make me wonder. Everything is being done to take your money.
This is capitalism. Profit is the objective of every single thing.

Excuse me but that's an extremely rude question.

I envision a future when all apps will be directly felt by human minds without the need to use physical interfaces nor fallible senses.
Nope, I don't have any date for my vision either, so it's just as useles as his.

It's time to invent the Facebook Identity card.

Semper Facebook Identity!
The title is misleading.
I didn't find any pictures of Miss Friday in TFA.
The USPTO isn't going to change their policies to help one small company steal ideas from others.
That would be quite a feat, as stealing ideas is just not possible.
By sending dead hookers?
I swear they were alive when I put them in the shipping box!
In these dire times, were I a reviewer, I'd specialize in Dead or Alive spinoff games.
Just in case they up the ante.
Whoever modded that down has no sense of humor or way too much religious sensibility.
Exactly my thought. I suppose he's talking about estimations on building a dedicated hardware HDCP decrypter.
You're right. I thought about that but I lack a term for what I understand as "basic human rights".
B*lg**m.
"Bill Gates" has two 'l' and ends in 's'.
