The majority doesn't want more fossil fuel extracted, but they do want to fill their cars up with, I don't know, love.
I'm kind of a free market perv. Most of my friends who are very anti-capitalism still act like capitalists all day long! Every four years or so, they vote or something, and maybe that means something, but otherwise...
What if some dope was screwing your daughter and there was nothing you could do about it, but somehow you could magically make him wear a condom. Wouldn't you put the condom on him (magically)?
Beyond that, we don't have control over chemistry of physics outside our skulls, so why would we have it on the inside? We're just finishing what the Big Bang started.
Did you guys start talking politics because I used the word "change" in my post? Or was it something else? Fer cryin' out loud, I know it's a totally loaded word and when I was typing it yesterday or whenever I stopped for a second and then went "Naah! We're talking about text messaging." Hah. I'm an anarchist or something, so yeah, to me, "Change we need" just sounds like something Yoda would say... All you conservatives and liberals can eat my shorts! Kidding.
Yeah, people have a hard time imagining things outside of their lifetime. A few hundred years ago, who could read? Now, when something like widespread texting emerges on the radar, it's like "Oh no, we're dumb. This is it."
I like to see articles that spread the idea of cultural change being positive.
Backspace enlargement? Maybe you could just make some software that would know when you were hitting backslash instead of backspace. That would be helpful in word processors and things.
As for the Esc key, I thought it was only used in movies.
There're other types to fight before you happened to get to a flipbot. Maybe in a few years there'll be autonomous subsystems that control responses to things like flipping apparatus. You know, robot vision to track parts. You could have a camera onboard that feeds to the operators. It would track movement and the operator could assist in guiding its tracking by selecting paths with a stylus or something.
Yeah, how many times have I heard someone talk about what a grand quest it is to see small stuff or figure more about the beginning of the universe and how justifiable and noble that type of curiosity is--but what we're really talking about is SOMEONE ELSE'S curiosity. I don't give a hoot. I'm really curious about some girl in my office, "I wonder if she's into me?" No one would spend ten dollars of tax money to satisfy my curiosity about how a nice Thai lunch would go if I took her out. I mean, if it worked out, maybe we could make BABIES. Maybe that baby would turn into some kind of genius and invent velcro 2.0. Maybe! Let's find out! I'm curious!
Oh, I don't know. I think that endeavors are becoming increasingly sophisticated, creating more room at the bottom tier of the production hierarchy for currently non-automatable jobs. Also, anything that saves humans' time and energy will create a more diverse (and maybe I'll even throw in "larger" because I'm an optimist, plus it seems to be the trend) marketplace because more humans have more time and energy to express traits that are exclusively human.
Maybe I'm ignorant of what pro gaming is like these days, but I can't see it becoming mainstream (that's not what we're talking about, really) until the games themselves are: (1)Nuanced enough that individual styles of top-flight players can be discerned by laypeople and (2)that the technology to render a sufficiently immersive experience in a particular model of is a achieved and plateaus.
The second condition has been fulfilled by games like Pac-man, off the top of my head. The first condition has has been achieved in some modern games, but inability to maintain the second condition doesn't allow any one "sport" to catch on.
Also, and I don't know if this exists, but some kind of commentated observation of a FPS game may hasten achievement of the first condition in some styles of game.

My Dixie wrecked.
I'll have to start consuming more healthcare for the rabid dog problem we're having. "An ounce of prevention..."
Hell yeah, brother. Where's my spandex jacket?
Don't you realize that you die on the transporter pad?
I love loud commercials because they are are one of the major ways I find out about products I'd like to purchase.
What about doing away with loud ties while we're at it? Or Hawaiian shirts, period.
Dude, I liked reading your journal entry.

Come on, this video is complex, challenging art.
Yeah, no kidding. Eric Baum talks about creating inductive bias in machines. I think that's what all this "motivation" talk is really about.

You don't meet your hookers online and then call them?
I mean, it's not that good, but isn't it?
I use Caps Lock all the time.

I'm at "work" right now.
I think it's mostly children that do crazy stuff like collect all the hidden packages.
Shit, Bill Evans and his crew were just getting the party started in 1960.

Maybe Wolfram sits in a room answering everyone's questions.
