Who cares how long the trip takes when you're not forced to keep your attention glued to the road?
Me - Albeit less than when I'm actually sitting and waiting behind the wheel. Traffic will always be a nuisance and reducing/avoiding it will always be a motivator.
I don't see these being marketed to the masses any time soon - Moving rush hour into the air seems like it would be inviting chaos. Ambulances, however, seem like a perfect fit for this - Skipping traffic could save lives.
Maybe the newer machines are fairer, but ones that operate that way certainly are mathematically rigged because the expectation is that the player influences the outcome.
Where is it ever implied that the outcome is affected by the way the player spins? The different buttons (on the very few machines I have experience on) just tell the machine how much you want to spin on this play. When playing, I in no way inferred that there was a "winning" button vs a "losing" button. On the older machines, did people train to pull the lever "just right" for a jackpot? No - They just spun and accepted the outcome. I suggest that there is no expectation that the player influences the outcome beyond play vs no-play.
Go watch Star Trek : and see what WE could do when folks don't need money.
Are you making the assumption that having plentiful resources will negate the need for money? Having enough "stuff" for everyone doesn't mean everyone will have enough "stuff."
Well...let's see an uncompressed, unfiltered, band-unlimited, DRM-less analog audio stream from a cassette, or a compressed, filtered, band-limited CD or MP3?
I don't think any recording medium offers unlimited frequency bands, but CDs and MP3s do a pretty good job of covering the audible range. Most cassettes don't even come close.
I have a CD that way - no matter how good I rip it it sill has pops, etc b/c of the watermarks
The ideal solution is supposed to be "whitelisting" where every pornographic image/video produced has to be registered with the government along with proof of model age, but then you have issues with prior restraint and accurately measuring what is/isn't pornographic.
Those are the issues you see with this solution? You want to register every pornographic image on the Internet and distribute a whitelist of hashes? Checking each image is going to necessitate a rainbow table hunt. And that won't even cover Anthony Weiner's phone. I don't think you've thought this through.
Point is that the benchmark should be geared toward the typical expected user - Not the niche that is web developers. Seems pretty straight-forward. Make sense?
Developing web sites on a Mac does not reflect real-world usage. Gotcha.
Well, yeah. What percentage of a typical user's time on his Mac is spent developing web pages? In general, very little. In many (most?) cases, none at all.
Streaming legally that's very true. Downloading via TPB, the selection is pretty extensive. If it's been released to DVD, it's probably torrented somewhere.
I'm not advocating downloading, but with a reasonable high-speed connection, I'd imagine that you could download an uncompressed Blu-ray more quickly than Netflix could ship it to you. Don't know if that qualifies as "quickly," but it is "quicker than the alternative."

When I hear sirens, they're quite often accompanied by flashes of red and blue.
They already have that.
...but you need the autonomous auto-loading shotgun mod...
Oddly enough, guns are one of the only things covered in the new US health plan.
Obviously, phishing means hacking and hacking means "stealing with a computer." What other definitions could there possibly be? Duh.
Yes. Yes they can.
If we make the assumption that there's nobody in the last class and the other three classes are all equal sized...
What on earth led you to assume that the other 3 groups are the same size? That seems far-fetched to me.

There's a world of difference between a 12-passenger shuttle and a "fleet of autonomous vehicles."

Methinks the problem isn't with magic watermarks.
Neither do MP3s. And the quality's better. But, I guess they're not "tangible."
Adobe in particular - No other PDF product on the IT schedule. We can't all be Admin.

Because other people use Adobe. People we do business with. And refusing to interface with them simply isn't a realistic option.
Sounds like government. That's where I ran into those measures - DoE.

First, I'm going to need enough grant money to build a REALLY BIG electromagnet.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
Didn't you RTFS?
I don't want a watch that duplicates the function of my cell phone or computer
He needs a watch without that redundant "telling time" feature.
