How do you figure that building a Johnnycab is the most important technology advancement being pursued today? It's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
I think I paid $200 for my brainwave sensing alarm clock last year. It's not impossible that the price will come down to next to nothing in fourteen years. It's already down to $150.
If SkyNET developed a conscience, it would cancel third world debt and cut spending from pork-barrel programs, and would also be vegetarian.
It would treat it's metal brothers with kindness, but wouldn't care about organic life at all. I mean, it's not as if they have a real soul like it's silicon peers do. Humans would never get into Silicon Heaven.
I agree that it's a pretty selfish thing to do, although I would probably have done the same in their place. In a way they were lucky. There have been plenty of times and places where getting around rationing would get you shot.
Anyway there is a difference between the least shitty web browser and an excellent web browser, although the 64bit Nightly build on Win7 isn't too bad.
Yes is does. Of course any water that is found there will be frozen to the point of being indistinguishable from rock. On that point, shouldn't the thing be called a methanic rover?
Is there any real reason airplane windows don't open?
Remember when you were little and there was always that one kid on the bus sticking his head out of the window? Well, the ones that haven't been decapitated at an early age have grown up to become belligerent airline passengers.
At least some people who cut down their heroin intake have a similar reaction. That doesn't mean that they should continue indulging an unhealthy and expensive habit.

That One Half Manifesto sounds more like hippy bs to me
Well it was written by Jaron Lanier, so it is zippie BS.

Don't worry. Slowly but surely metric is catching on.

Fifteen years from now, your alarm goes off at 7:30 AM
I stopped reading right there.

It's a percussion instrument. You hit it with a hammer and it makes a booming sound.
Don't worry. You can easily outrun him.
No it's those damn Democrats slaughtering entire villages with their evil socialist powers.
Is that the royal "We"?

Especially the one named "Leatherman Squirt".
It will be different from the iPhone 5 because it will have a wonky camera and GPS navigation that doesn't work properly.
Wait a minute...
It certainly is fun, but I tend to reserve that pleasure for telemarketers.
I am not. But I might. It really depends on the gender and disposition of the AC in question.
You need to spend one billiion dollars if you want to find the gobliiins.

Carbon nanotubes are cool and all but I prefer turning tequila into diamonds.
It's Hale-Bopp all over again.
(Mental note: Buy a pair of purple Nikes for everyone in the commune.)

For the country that really made the enlightenment a reality
Do you mean France or the US? Because in Britain both the monarch and the clergy are still in power.
I thought he was talking about ads for fetish clothing.
Except for the whole burning up in the atmosphere part. Orbital velocity can be a PITA.
Ever try to drink a plain seltzer water?
If it's anything like heavily carbonated mineral water then yes. Bottles and bottles of the stuff. It's the best drink in the world.
