To be fair, sci-fi is about a lot more than hard science. I share your love for the hard stuff, however, some of the best sci-fi to be written, televised, or shown on the silver screen has little to none of it to claim.
The Next Generation had a lot of what I'd consider excellent sci-fi over the years, which really is all about asking "What if?" Their habit of activating the "plotyon device" to get out of a jam wasn't part of it.
...and how many times those plotyon devices became real?
What if the sites you go to are not at the top of a google search? 2-3 clicks is a whole lot easier than typing in something that would get you to the top of the search.
What if they are an intranet site, not viewable from the outside?
Bookmarks are still a viable method for keeping track of oft-used sites.
I completely agree. Their rationale was that it was easier to have 27 carts of laptops than to build enough actual computer labs for the students. However, the cost is pretty much comparable IF you take into account the upkeep of a portable device.
Building a new school a month does not prove that they will take care of those new schools any better than the ones they replaced. As with most places, they spend all this money to open the school, and don't set anything aside to maintain it. As the school I work in, where we have 400 laptops, but no one has the $60,000 to replace the batteries after 2 years when they won't last more than 30 minutes...
But a machine cannot do his job - to interpret a character and respond to a live audience as effectively as a human requires a human (or something sufficiently close to a human that it should enjoy the rights of a human).
Such as Data?
Who was always endeavoring to become more human? He knew his music was just canned, and lacked any emotional input, and therefore did not evoke an emotional response from humans.

Where?
Oh, there.
Yeah...I realized that right as I hit submit...lack of caffeine is not your friend.
How would you feel if your favorite pub closed? There are probably plenty of pubs that are just about the same nearby, but I know I would be sad.
Finally, an analogy we can all identify with!

Its a bookmark and sync app. Idk why theres such a big outcry if there are many alternatives
Because it's really the only one that does so across browsers...

There was rain on my wedding day, you insensitive clod!
you too?
Exactly. Also, some browsers do some things better than others.
I admit, most of the time I use Firefox, but there are some occasions to use other browsers depending on the machine you are using.
Also, it was nice to have the option to go to the xmarks site, for those times I am at a site for a few minutes, and need a link I found last week.

IE bookmarks can automatically be synced with Windows Live Sync (beta).
I stand corrected. However, the main point still stands. None of these will sync to another browser.
But not enough to give them money.
I would have gladly given them money. There is, however, no easy way to do this from their site.
Opera lets you sync your bookmarks.
Each of the browsers (sans IE I believe) have their own syncing. The real benefit to xmarks was being able to sync across all the browsers.
I for one will definitely miss the cross-platform availability of xmarks.
The precedent of getting Japan and its allies to back down on a territorial claim may be even more valuable than that.
Isn't this how WWII started?
Do you not mean "Meet your demise in a sea of flames"? Clearly, your claims of not suffering from a degraded lexical range are mere fabrications.
I prefer "Perish in a conflagration," myself...
removing your noses despite your faces?
I believe you mean "removing your nose TO SPITE your face..."
I have the 7921 wireless, as well as the 7940 :)
Apostrophes. Learn to use them.
Possibly when you learn to use a sentence structure?
Well, bad press is still press...

You could also try writing a try catch clause that when you get an error it plays a random video of some cute chick belly dancing. :D
But wouldn't that make them want to put more errors in?

I would totally buy it if it said "Please state the nature of the medical emergency."
Real Scotsmen wear kilts...
...Because sheep can hear zippers from a mile away!
When teachers didn't want to be tested as they claimed that testing was a poor indicator of someone ability. Go Figure.
Except for that in most cases, teachers aren't the ones giving the tests. They are required by the states, ie: NYS Regents, Maryland MSA/HSA tests.
