I'm certainly never going to read any of his books now. If he rails on the interesting parts of another sci-fi universe, I believe it's a safe bet that his is utterly dull. As to the comment on there about "Human-cyborg relations", remember that a cyborg is a cybernetic organism. That would include droids, as well as "traditional" cyborgs like Lobot, Vader, and that ilk.
He got his oil changed and radiator flushed. He sent two items to Tennessee via fedex with these tracking numbers, "868322701268" and "869744129440". He purchased "Garmin MapSource 24K TOPO - National Parks" at REI so he could stay off of the radar. What has tipped me off to that as he purchased a flash memory card at Best Buy and then returned it because he didn't need it.
He isn't traveling alone as he spent $170 at a restaurant.
It should take him about 5 days to drive to Tennessee. But more than likely he will be taking a few extra days at the National parks. What a vacation if you ask me, all expenses paid.

Do we then put it on another planet and see if it survives and evolves...
Meteorites, such as the Murchison meteorite have been found with organic matter. It contains amino acids as well as inorganic precursors that the Miller-Urey experiment proved could produce organic compounds.

The problem is that the Miller-Urey experiment was irreparably flawed from the get-go. Note that they used water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen. They used chemical compounds that would give them the results they so desperately needed to bolster their claims that life could have arisen on its own. The experiment, so flawed, only shows that blasting a bunch of water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen with several thousand volts will create a few amino acids. (Five, to be exact, out of twenty-two required for life to exist.) The other flaw in the experiment, and indeed the evolutionary theory as a whole, is the law of entropy. An argument can be made that there is proof in computers or cars or what-all that it's possible to get a more advanced thing as time passes, contrary to said law. There is a common factor in all of those things though. Can you guess? Yup, a human mind. A guiding intelligence, if you will. In case you haven't noticed yet, I do not adhere to the so-called "theory of evolution".
I'm not going to stop talking about news or current events in my own house, let alone online. I use Skype for a reason, including talking with friends about stories in the news, and that requires *GASP* LINKING to the stories, or posting snippets. Not only that, but this would effectively make all decent sources for any sort of research paper illegal to access. This legal eagle needs to take a drink from the fountain of non-stupidity.
going to h t t p colon slash slash dot dot org doesn't inherently make me a "twit", as twitter does.

In other news...I've avoided Twitter like the plague it is. I don't even have text messaging on my cell phone. I cannot bring myself to degrade the English language in such a horrendous form as what is known as "leetspeak" or "textese." I can't compress a good, well-formed, rational opinion or thought into a 140-character bastardization of the original phrasing. Sorry.
You just made my day. Sadly for me, in Oregon, there are about seventy cars and SUVs I'd need to tag for the route between home and school/work. A minor inconvenience, but if I repurpose the tags they stick on my car...Note to self: Invent GPS-tag detector.
Man, Obama really IS an idiot. Removing guns from the people obliterates any personal freedoms, and disarming the country removes any sort of relevance the US of A used to have.
If he tries to take my firearms, he can have them...little round end first. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.
-Disable autorun
-Use Firefox
-Keep MalwareBytes update
-Scan regularly
-Unplug your router at night
-Check msconfig regularly for new entries
-Use Process Explorer instead of Task Manager (much more informative)
Then there's Deep Freeze.
Using those precautions, I've only been infected twice. Once by a flash drive infector (I immediately obliterated it and turned off autorun) and the other by a wannabe Trojan that got picked up by MalwareBytes in seconds.

At least now I'll have someone to talk to that's close to my own level...
God's been around a lot longer than anyone else. (Or anything, for that matter)
Don't forget Lord Nikon and Cereal Killer.
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

There's an April Fools achievement? Cool.
In other news, the idea is made of win.

I'm not terribly concerned.
