So, how long until cruise missiles are programmed to look at the way the target 'moves' in relation to its own motion, and work out that the target is cloaked and where it actually is?
But would you feel the same way about somebody who had committed manslaughter?
I remember meeting somebody quite some time ago who was friendly and gregarious. I didn't find out until much later that he had actually spent several years incarcerated over manslaughter due to an altercation that occurred at his housewarming party (the other guy did something that went beyond the pail, and the subject punched him once, the other guy fell badly, cracked his head on furniture and died, alcohol was a factor).
What about between 2nd and 1st degree murders (where such are defined).
So that this means that soon we'll be able to get gene-sequenced at birth, and if our DNA gets bit-switched have some kind of treatment (retroviral DNA recombination or some other term that I pull out of my ass) and have the mutation reversed?
Also, what about false positives on the reporting leading to new mutations when they administer a treatment that was unnecessary (would such mutations actually occur)? What about them nasty black hats... I don't want to think about what you could do to somebody by hacking their genome.
Please excuse me while I fashion my tin-foil hat to protect myself from my brain. Wait. Crap.
A friend of mine called the police to inform them that there was a trespasser in her shed, looking for stuff to steal. The cops said they would be there in 20 minutes.
She then told them not to worry, she had a kitchen knife and would take care of the problem herself.
the police arrived 2 minutes later.
And people wonder why some other people like to hate on cops?
Well, I drive an old tank of a Volvo (1985 240GL), and at the moment I'm getting about 20MPG. The car has been in a garage for almost all of the time that it is not being actively driven, and as such, the chassis is fine. Buying a brand new car seems like a waste.
What I really want to do is find out the local legislation about putting in a newer engine (I'm in Australia), and what right I would have if the police tried to arc up about the fact that it's now an original owner. That being said, locating the legislation is somewhat difficult. Yet another example of bureaucracy getting in the way of positive results, I guess.
Unless I'm mistaken, planes are already capable of hitting them. What needs to happen is to design a plane that can hit them with zero ill effects. Anybody like to round up the team that designed the 1985 Volvo 240GL and entice them to try their hands at Aeronautic Engineering?
Hmm... Makes me wonder if that wasn't Conroy's plan all along... Completely bollocks it up on purpose so that it is aborted (like the abomination it is should be), but make it look like he was trying to push it through the whole time.
Why stop there. While they don't have as much power as in other places in the world, we do have a lunatic fringe of right-wing fundies, and they were foaming at the mouth to get this off the ground.
Any time a human body is placed into a situation or environment that it was not evolved for (such as moving 200mph, being in a vacuum, being really, really deep underwater, being above a certain altitude without a pressurized room), and equipment fails, there WILL be a chance that people will die.
My personal favourite for "shitting a door/brick/large awkward object" was AVP2, first mission as the Marine.
Having been sent solo up a hill, narrowly avoiding being crushed by an exploding truck, discovering the skinned remains of humans, and attempting to locate whatever is making my motion tracker pay it attention (a crane cable swinging in the breeze), you are required to activate a generator. On the way out, "something" bursts through the ceiling directly in front of you. Something that looks like the head of a xenomorph.
I put 48 rounds into it from my pulse rifle before I realised it was a steam pipe.

Computers ALWAYS do what they're told to do. Getting to do what you want them to do is the trick.
If you believe everything that Faux News tells you, then yes.
A straight line is just the circumference of a circle with infinite radius.

Goodl luck getting it up to 88 miles per hour.
I'll double your entendre.

You must be new here.

Oh sweet FSM! I just imagined what a bird-strike with matter transporters would look like.
A common misconception. Actually, being a nation of convicts, we're still waiting on knife privileges.
Yes, there are somethings that perhaps I do not want to see. And I am perfectly capable of choosing what they are for myself.
Holy (insert nonsensical exclaimation here) Batman! Your new Batrocket really works!!

Um, did anybody else misread the headline as "Google joins EU Antichrist case against MS"?
Or better yet: "Dear Steve Ballmer, Please accept this drawing of a 7-legged spider..."

Why do people die climbing it? Because they're there
