4 guys with box cutters did alright when the door wasn't locked. Unless they can smuggle something big enough to break down the door they won't be able to do that again.
Of course, the serious answer is to grow up and stop expecting the government to protect you from everything that might harm you. Look up the numbers sometime of the amount of money to prevent death, versus the estimates of how many people are saved. Between hospitals, the NHTSA and the TSA who do you think is the most effective in terms of dollars per life saved?
If you think he might be trolling, please enlighten us with exactly how it would go down when Mr Terrorist pulls out his knife 30,000 feet over Wisconsin.
You can foe them (click on the little circle next to their name), and then I halfway remember an option to either block them, or show them as reduced karma (in case they have a highly ranked post), but I didn't find it in my little check of the options page. Maybe someone else will chime in to help...
That's the point though! The iPod sucked, no-one is going to argue with you about that. The point is that knowing how much it sucks doesn't help you determine the way the industry is headed in the future.
Having thought about it a little more, though, I've realized that/. 'predictions' probably will be accurate for the behind the scenes tech, like servers, routers and anything else that does real work. My reasoning is that the community here will give you a good idea about what is better for a particular role, so people who know what they're doing will go in that direction. Popular electronics will still depend heavily on user interface and what is 'cool' so it will remain very difficult to predict.
How does going out sailing on a boat (in California, Corinthia, Chicago (or any other place starting with the letter C, being home to a yacht club) advance the cause of AI? Also, why do you assume that the 3 m spinning ball of sodium will not produce useful results?
Chain shot damages sails primarily, you need grape shot to damage the opponent's crew. Yes, I do get all my historical knowledge from Sid Meier games, why do you ask?
Please stop shooting the tight groups. It's asshats like you who have made them so rare!
But, also, if you have a bike that could turn corners properly you'd realise that shooting someone as they're fleeing isn't as easy as you think it is.

This comic outlines the best way to achieve that: http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2366.

And of course there's no possibility of technology changing in an unexpected way for people to suddenly say "hey, I wonder if moon rocks can do ..."
The TSA was formed in 2002, so unless you were pre-emtively complaining there's no need to keep going after nine years.

I misread that as "obsessed amateur sluts" and thought it wasn't all bad...
Is tea-bagging covered in the Geneva Convention?
Removing yourself from the gene pool only works if you don't have any children, or if you kill them too...

No wifi, less self-aggrandizement than a Nomad. Lame.
While I agree with your overall point, I don't think Whatabuger counts as a *very* nice restaurant to most dates.

I think this is the longest conversation we've had before you've descended into nothing but insults. It's been fun, thanks. See you again soon!

You can call me what you like, I know you'll never catch me! ;)
Well, you're the one who went and bought a sports bike, generally people do that when they want to go fast.
Try going around a corner some time, you'll never keep up with a gixxer.
who is "we"?
I thought we had something special, Mike...
i was responding to someone posing a transportation industry analogy to the photography industry relative to business longevity.
Alright then, how is the fact that you own a particularly slow cornering motorcycle relative to that conversation?
For example Saturn cars (yes it was oned by GM) but they got popular on the small car with little frills.
Maybe you should make more money so you can buy a real car.
(Emphasis mine.) Yes, we were talking about cars.
That's correct, it's the AC that said that. You catch on quick!

i drive a new acura TL type S, and a yamaha R1.
maybe you should be less presumptuous.
A motorcycle isn't a car.
Transport may indeed be transport, but a motorcycle still isn't a car.
The R1 certainly doesn't count as a real car. I'll give you a pass on the Acura...
