Yes, to me that seems the robot that will have the most chance to become a success in the near future. If you make it a bit simpler and don't use a Segway for its locomotion it will be a lot cheaper. It would be very nice to have that thing go to a shop for me with a shopping list and bring the groceries back home. The fact that I am virtually present in the shop means that I can have a conversation with the shopkeeper about what products to buy. Of course it's cheaper to have someone else do the shopping for me but this is way cooler, and a robot is always ready and available, just like a car vs public transport.
That actually makes sense. Now I wish my friends would use Twitter. Actually, that's the main reason why I don't have Twiiter and Facebook: none of my friends use it.
They don't have to do it for free, considering the outrageous fees they collect for subscriptions to their journals. The way I see it, having a popular scientific journal is just raking in money. But maybe someone can convince me that that is not the case.
The scientific literature world is pretty strange. Usually you pay around 90$ per page to get your article published in a paid journal. The journal doesn't have to do much for that. The reviewers work for free so they only have to send some letters around and do the typesetting. To have the article 'in the open' you pay a staggering 3000$ for which they do nothing! Amazing
Since when is it news that something may be the case? It's like saying: you know, the fact that you fuck around so much may be genetic but it may also be because you just don't know what you like in a woman yet, or you you might be a sex addict, or you are a teenager or you get horny every time you see your middle finger, or you just don't know anything better to do with your life.
If I were Amazon I would not want to burn my fingers on hosting something as controversial as Wikileaks. Amazon is a company after all, and they can miss trouble like toothache.
Yep. I have been on a short holiday to Maastricht and Aachen a while ago. After having looked for hotel rooms on the Web I was bombarded with ads about hotel rooms in Maastricht and Aachen for weeks afterward.
I was going for Funny but no people who see the joke here. And all the other electronic stuff you buy is also made by Chinese slaves working 80 hours a week minimum, so good luck finding something that your conscience can handle. China is in the 19th century concerning labor legislation. Give it time, it will resolve itself. I don't believe that we as Western countries help them by not buying their stuff.
Man, they make such beautiful stuff! Every time Steve gives a keynote I follow it and hang on his lips. After the keynote I have to change my underwear because Steve talks so beautifully and the new stuff he presents is so awesome! I run to the Apple Store to be the first to purchase the new stuf. Oh man, it's all so beautiful, I get a crisis every time I touch one of my beloved Apple gadgets!
A normal Ph.D. project budget is between 300 and 500 keuros. So on average 400 keuros. It's not only the salary that has to be paid you know. And my comment is not retarded, it's based on facts.

Ah, then it's blocked by Adblock, probably. Thanks!
I only saw advertisements in that webpage. No story whatsoever. Do I miss something?

I tried to find some infor on their turnover and profit over 2009 on their website but I couldn't find anything. Where can you find such info?
Biological researchers, sailors, adventurers, cavemen...
$799,- is just a bit more than a SIM-lock free iPhone costs. So the price is most probably not the problem.

They weren't chosen. They turned out to work. Evolution is a random process, remember?

I stick with FF because I like it and I'm not really interested in something else.
Interesting that you don't even mention IE.

What a brilliant sig you have.
Yep, and they will also consider you to be a member of the open-mouthed public.
Need I say more?
100% pure water is not tasty and is even dangerous for your health. Be happy that Evian contains some ions to make it drinkable!
Oh how modern. We've had that here in Europe for years.
Yeah, even I am surprised every day.
Error? I see more than one.
