    They might, if more of said populace were still educated and had their eyes open to what's happening instead of sitting fat and happy in front of their sports programs.

    For Joe Sixpack, being able to sit his obese stinking ass in front of a television for 7 hours per day actually IS everything that he wants from life.

    Yes, it is disgusting, but it also real.

    The best thing you can do with that situation is find a way to sell them all deep-fried sugar-glazed Jesus footballs.

    There is one gas station here in town that sells pure gasoline, no ethanol or other additives.

    The price is typically 10 cents per gallon over the price of ethanol fuel, but I buy it anyway.

    Had a similar experience a while ago.

    I was managing (fancy name for clerk/janitor/ebayer) an antique store around back about 2001 and we couldn't afford a full-on security system.

    One day at an estate sale we got a box of mixed randomness which included a big VHS camera. The camera wouldn't record to tape, but it would show pictures on a television.

    The store we were in had been a restaurant at one time and still had the television mounting platform on the wall which was visible from the street.

    I put an old 13 inch black-and-white television on the platform with the camcorder right beside it, hooked up and showing a live feed. We ran a dead coax into the ceiling and the camera had a nice big red LED on the front. From outside it looked pretty good.

    Never had a break-in.

  16. Re:ideas of what a robot is on African Robotics Network Challenge Spurs Rash of $10 Robots · · Score: 1

    "Suckerbot" has to be tethered to a laptop to work. The guidance system is part of the robot's system, and IMO should therefore be included in the price.

    "Kilobot" is a nice design and seems to be an actual programmable autonomous self-contained unit.

    They are both a tall step up from "BattleBots" styled offerings, in that Suckerbot and Kilobot are actually robots, and not fancy RC cars mislabeled "robot".

    You are better off letting the child believe in Santa for as long as possible.

    If the kiddo hears about Santa and Jebus young, then learns that Santa is false while young, they might not be able to make the Jebus connection.

    On the other hand, the chil who at age 9 or 10 learns that Santa isn't real, might take the "he knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, so you better be good or you will lose" allegory and is able to instantly translate it to the Jebus schtick.
