Of course, from a practical standpoint you might as well just cook him with the thing and forget the lightning.
Yup, it could in theory be done, but by the time you address all the things that you would need to, there would be a multitude of other ways to achieve the same purpose that were more reliable, easier and more believable to a reader of a science fiction story.
Shh. You're going to point out that throwing money into a large barrel and burning it, then repeating the process for every entitlement project is a good idea.
Definitely. Think of an anatomy e-book, where you can pinch and zoom in on a hot chick's vagina. Maybe swipe to show various staging of pussy trim (hairy 70s, bikini-trimmed 80s, bald 90s, etc). It's very hard to learn from traditional anatomy books, with the cutaway view of the fallopian tubes or whatever. Who cares about that shit?
Sir, you are either an arse, a virginal 14 years old, or both.

Do you think that Joe Consumer is going to buy a computer to run on his computer? He's going to plug it into his TV or a monitor to turn it INTO a web enabled TV.

First off, Jesus does not exist and if he did exist, do you think a guy nailed to a cross would cry for Americans who pollute the world and consume its resources and are to stupid to vote for Bush or anyone not Bush?
First off, you are correct in saying that "Jesus does not exist", however, he did at one time as any historian familiar with Rome could easily tell you, as his name does appear in historical records.
Secondly, although I am not a Grammar Nazi (but I play one on TV) the word "to" as you use it is actually spelled "too".
And lastly, the quote is from the Bible, New Testament, but was also used as the closing line in an 1987 movie called "Hellraiser", with which you either may or may not be familiar, and because of the tone of your reply to my post, are probably too young to have seen, and definitely too young to watch now that you know about it, and in which context I used it here.
For further testimony, read the reply to your reply, written by a certain ciderbrew. Personally, I can dig it.
As a US citizen, Believe me when I say that most other US citizens will agree with you....well, most sane ones. The number of which is rapidly dropping.
The number is dropping at a logarithmic rate. I almost got into a flamewar on FB with a person almost 40 years my junior who thought that censorship, by the government was not only good, but necessary to protect its citizens from the dangers of...she didn't actually say what, and she spelled coup (as in coup d'etat) as "Coo", and she states in her info page that she is a graduate of a university, having a degree in education.
We're sorry. Google Music is currently only available in the United States
And good to see a better alternative to itunes (yuk!).
Nobody hates iTunes more than I. It is slow, cumbersome and basically sucks rhino, but it's all I've got since I gave up my Zune. Hell, the Zune soft was 10 times better at just about anything. Since I live in Mexico, iTunes is the only place I can buy music, or video as Amazon won't let me use them any more and Google (as you can see from the above line copied from music.Google.com) clearly states.
And, oh yeah, thanks Netflix for making such a big deal of finally being available here, but with only about 20% of your library bein available, it doesn't pay for me to use you (even at the rate of 99 MXN ~ $7.12 per month) !
Why tell potential targets how big a bomb you have and how deep it will penetrate? They can just go deeper and pour more concrete. What happened to surprise?
Because 30,000 pounds of prevention is worth a million bombs of cure?
And citizens want police & fire departments, better schools, better public transportation, better water supplies, better sewers, better roads, better bridges, etc. What they dont want is to have to pay for any of it.
And the more taxes that are collected, the better our infrastructure. Yeah, that's the ticket. As if....
Nor is this a problem of the developing world, as some commentators have sought to frame it. In the UK, Europe and the US, there are multiple plans for new fossil-fuelled power stations that would contribute significantly to global emissions over the coming decades.
Hmmm, maybe the USA DID ratify the Kyoto Protocol while I was asleep. Oh, wait....
You do realize that despite the name, it's a car rather than a scooter, right? $7k is quite good
Hell I've got a Suzuki Burgmann scooter that costs more than $7K that I just use for getting around town and for short out of town trips. When it's raining I don't use it, a $7K car I could use.
Smartphones already fill the "comfortable to hold in one hand for a long period of time" market. Tablets are a different market. A 7" is a compromise between tablet and phone, not being ideal for either.
Having an iPhone 4, I can say that I don't agree. I don't use the phone to do what I do on the tablet (and believe me I've tried) because the larger form factor is just so much better for what I use it for.
My grapes are sweet, not sour also. For me, and I've seen and handled plenty of iPads from relatives and friends, the 7" form factor just fits better in my hands (and I have big hands). It's also more convenient to carry around, as I use mine almost constantly when away from home and my laptop.

Where do they think they are? TEXAS ?
Well, could be Soylent green

Anybody hear about that new invention, the "gun"?
Shh. You're going to point out that throwing money into a large barrel and burning it, then repeating the process for every entitlement project is a good idea.
You mean...gasp...it isn't?
I realize you're just taking the piss, but as an MBA who has always understood technology, I've done fairly well.
Well, that's the point innit? If more MBAs actually understood technology they'd all do "fairly well", as would we all.

Sorry, too soon
Well it is, at least according to a FDA Directive

Perhaps Assimo will finally be put to work.
Or perhaps the movie "Moon" was quite prophetic.
Well I guess I can't attend school in Toronto, because my balls....oh, never mind.
