I get you on the overt condescension part, but that's not a prerequisite for being above average. People seem to have no problem with doctors or engineers who are above average, so why with politicians?
I wonder how the brain feels when it's "swapped out"?
"Ooh, sensory perception, I'm awake!" trundle trundle "Ooh, no sensory perception. Guess I suddenly fell asleep. Except I don't have sleep hormones so I'll just hallucinate?"
But if the price goes up, your losses are potentially unlimited. Unlike buying shares, where the worst that can happen is that you lose your initial investment.
So looking at something with squishy biological eyes and storing the image in your squishy biological brain is alright, but upgrade the hardware and suddenly it's illegal?
Or, use a wireless bullet camera to broadcast the footage to a separate location where the recorder is based. Then, if the camera is found, the recording may not be.
Is there a way to stream it live over the net to a server in another town/state/country?
Or even better, having to point and click on a 2x3 pixel object which you didn't even realize was there until you'd walked around the game map 5 times, then given up and googled a walkthrough.

What, simultaneously?
they could be good for data backups. No DRM there...
Sometimes I even read books, and those have no special effects!
But wasn't he talking about an unstructured version of BASIC: no loops, case statements, functions with parameters, etc?
The boldcase you used on the Filter error stood out.
Since almost all Haskell functions are curried, wouldn't requiring parentheses around function arguments lead to code like this?
fn(arg1)(arg2)(arg3)
You can have more than half a population above average if the distribution is skewed. (Average being the mean, not the median).
Awesome video. Of course, you could make it work for more than one person by combining that idea with (motion sensing) LCD glasses.
Why make millions when you can make ... billions? (On the stock exchange, using your so claimed powers?)
"Technology is not science, full stop."
But it sure can help with science. How many scientists don't use computers?
Wait, physicists might measure using clocks whose rates vary according to the power company's whims? *facepalm*
How do you remember whether you used Aunt Mary or Aunt Jane for a particular website?

I assumed that all the cheap American goods came from Asian countries. Wouldn't it be even cheaper to fly to one of those from Europe?
So there'd be no problem if they renamed it "Wordgameous"?
They could have reworked the concept, the way PopCap did with Bookworm Adventures.
Or even better, having to point and click on a 2x3 pixel object which you didn't even realize was there until you'd walked around the game map 5 times, then given up and googled a walkthrough.
In those days the game world was smaller, and a single person could, through diligent gaming, acquire a thorough knowledge of every character class.
Take L30n4rd0, the wizard/technologist/tank/healer/DPS/accountant. And he was good at all of them.
Nowadays there's just too much to learn; you have to specialize :(
There is a front end for LaTeX called Lyx, but most people find it easier to do formulae directly in LaTeX once they have some experience.
If you don't know the exact name of the article, Googling it is much more likely to bring up relevant and related pages.
They should have just secretly used the data for nefarious purposes, instead of publicizing the security hole. When will these people learn?
