    This is why I stick to healthy foods that are light and airy; pork rinds, Twinkies and especially (a bonafide superfood) cotton candy.

    Carbonation achieves the same effect with beverages.

    To give them a little credit... they did buy up Carnegie Mellon's entire fucking robotics lab.

  4. "Glass-Backed Shit Manufacturing" - GBSM.

  5. I'm guessing that the phones are password locked and that during transport within the factory, something rubs the screens in such a way to bring up the unlock screen and then hit the dial 911 button at the bottom of the unlock screen.

    I'm guessing you don't have to depend on the quality of your "guesswork" to earn a living...

    First create a CPU core with a low level core for the base OS

    Kind of like Intel management engine running Minix...

  7. "Halcyon days??" LOLOL, they sure as fuck don't... but why not a Chinese shill? I bet they've got a lot more of 'em...

  8. Would you mind telling us about some of the other things you don't care about?

    Gay marriage... and, um, Pokemon.

  9. I think whoever disingenuously typed "immigrants" instead of "illegal immigrants" should be deported (I believe that's you, Beau).

    Immigrants don't have any more to fear than the rest of us (though that might not be saying all that much).

    Shouldn't we ask the Taiwanese, rather than the others who wish to enslave them?? Just a thought.

    What's your proposed model for testing an autonomous car driving amidst normal traffic conditions that does not include actually having it drive among normal road traffic?

    I thought Uber had an entire town set up for this sort of thing. On a related note, someone should develop mechanized crashtest dummies that can be programmed to walk into the path of an autonomous car; when the cars are capable of avoiding people who are actively trying to get hit, then (and only then) have they achieved enough superiority over humans that we can justify (maybe and only maybe) thinking about sharing our roads with them

  17. Maybe something that cuts the sides like a mega chainsaw?

    You're thinking solid blocks; not happening. Think powdered rock pressed into bricks, using heat, pressure, adhesive, etc.

    No, I didn't RTFA - yet.

    It's *both* and the dipshits who're blind to the fact are primarily the ones allowing it to happen.

  23. I only read the headline (mea culpa) but talk about the best way to raise a red flag... you want to blend in...

  24. and the real cost is power

    Supposedly that will steadily come down as well. There will, however, always be killer power-hungry apps (processor power, not electrical) for the foreseeable future: all the anti-VR folks' vitriol notwithstanding, with the world population continuing to climb exponentially (barring early onset of WW III.x) and the increasing likelihood that the only escape from the [sordid reality of the average person's existence] will be through VR... bit that's not necessarily all bad, as by then VR will have become the 'medium' in which most 'physical recreation' (sports, etc) occurrs - i.e. gamers will be the fittest fuckers around (however, I do predict accelerated rates of occular degradation)...
