The problem on Broadway is the road is narrow and there is too much traffic. That road needs a dedicated bus lane, but there has been a lot of opposition the occasional time that has come up over the years. Ultimately the solution to the transit problems on Broadway will be to extend the Skytrain to UBC.
Yes, it is. Most places require a degree and professional certification of some kind before you can call yourself an engineer. North Korea may be an exception.
No, the onus is on you to explain what was so revolutionary about the original iphone. Almost every feature was already present on other phones and the first iphones did not even have simple features like cut and paste. What was impressive about the original iphone was the way it combined features from other mobiles into a single phone that did not feel clunky.
Preprogrammed personality disorders show up in robots in many fictional universes. Marvin is a good example, although it is not clear if he was programmed to be paranoid or if he grew into that personality the way the Sirius Cybernetics Corp. elevators grew into theirs. In Star Wars all of the talking robots have some sort of personality disorder. It is unlikely that out of billions of droids we only meet the mentally ill ones, so it seems reasonable that all droids are programmed that way.
The solution to the intelligent robot problem may be to do what the robot designers did in the Star Wars universe -- program personality disorders into the intelligent robots.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, offers an informative insight into the mindset of most climate deniers, anti-vaxers, and other big-"whatever"-is-out-to-get-you crazies.
> The "value" has to be compared against the cost. These unmanned robotic missions are way cheap. If you want to look for poor value/cost, look at the $100B squandered on the ISS.
Which is about the cost of five months of the 2003-2011 war in Iraq.
I have a simple question for you Mr Faraday: how do your electrical parlour tricks affect anyone? What possible use can your moving wires have. Surely people must admit that this research serves no purpose for anyone. Can anyone justify the value of your research? I think not.
> I don't understand how A New Hope could be considered better other than the fact that it introduced the Star Wars universe.
I tend to agree, but in defense of the original Star Wars, it was a self-contained story that worked well whereas The Empire Strikes Back was an experiment in serial movie-making that did not work out well. In some ways Empire was ahead of its time and anticipated the various cinematic universes of today. In some ways it paved the road for these universes. However, despite being a well-made professional movie with dialogue that (for the most part) did not make one cringe, it suffered from the weakness of needing Return of the Jedi to complete the experience because the two movies were essentially one story with three-year gap in the telling.

The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel.

They work quite well in Vancouver.
The intent of the regulation is to keep amoral people from preying on stupid people.
Continents were in very different locations when the bulk of the arctic oil formed.
Half of use are better than the median driver. I wonder who he is?
You know that. I know that. The people who will write the regulations that restrict us to flying below 10' do not.
The droning community needs to do a much better job of policing itself or we are going to lose our nice things.
Wrong.

Unless you drive a train you are not an engineer if you do not have an engineering degree. Get over it.
Posting to undo an accidental bad mod.
Yup, you're right. That's what happens when I post without the benefit of coffee or other recreational substances. Sorry about the mistake.
But 4 Km/hr is about 2,500 mph.

Sorry snowflake, there was a female James T. Kirk back in 1969.
And "non-experts" are convinced that they know more than the "experts".

Its called blaming the victim. It is very popular in some circles.
In many places in the US bus drivers are told not to enforce fare payment. A $2.00 fare is not worth a driver's life.
