    The regulator of the utility then went and fucked the entire thing up so badly that they pretty much killed the idea for all of North America.

    Can you share specifics? I am interested.

    I believe it was reported on /. that Google had a functioning prototype on Glass and decided not to release it because it was too creepy.

  8. Funny. That was my first thought too. $3,770 for my own personal Russian slave sounds pretty cheap.

    Would you say that it's the droid you were looking for?

    As I understand it, Slack handles all these cases. Do not take this as a recommendation, though.

  10. Hopefully this will start a new space race, and focus the US on kicking ass in space. We're the only ones to successfully land on Mars...

    That's not true at all! Plenty of probes sent to Mars by other countries successfully land on Mars. The only difference is that their probes land much faster and in more pieces. ;)

    Oh, I see. You think they forgot to define success criteria.

  11. Waiting for someone to comment "that's not AI", as always happens with any story about AI.

    Found the AI!

  12. Can I ask what model-year you have?

  13. If you aren't willing to communicate with open protocols I can run on my own hardware, I don't really really want to talk to you anyway. XMPP, Matrix, good old email, and perhaps IRC. Randall will have to make a new Venn.

    Ouch. Burn.

    Slugs per acre, mate. That's proper pressure for you. Alternatively, an indication you're a shit gardener.

  17. Yeah, and it wasn't limited to files, either. Did you ever hit someone's website and have your CD tray physically eject from your tower?

    What if we attach this engine to a big Zeppelin?

    I haven't done any maths to support this, but I suspect it would blow around like a big bag in the wind.

    10 seconds does not preclude long time switching to a Linux desktop.

    "Preclude" means "prevent." In context, the word doesn't make sense:

    10 seconds does not prevent long time switching to a Linux desktop.

    Even assuming you meant "include," you didn't seem to have any objection to the time spent switching to Apple, just the cost.

    Ten seconds on DuckDuckGo could have saved you the Windows tax. Remmina is an excellent application for remote desktop.

  21. Would hope something better comes along Like a bracelet.

    Commit a few misdemeanors and you can try out the "anklet" version.

    And the "hi" in "hijack" comes from "highway".

    This is intuitive, but wrong. It comes from the instructions given to carriage-drivers by the robbers: "Hold 'em up high, Jack."

    I am moderately excited and plan to run a server at home. (Please do not confuse that with "Home," which confusingly is Mycroft's cloud service.) See my comment from February.

    We'll see if I can mollify the paranoid side of the family and educate the "Alexa" side when the Mark II comes out.
