"You'll have a specific entry-level drone in Argentina who reads off a script and tells you to reboot the machine." It will be so much more satisfying that way.
You misunderstood the article. The 1% will be used to pay bodyguards who will drag the kids outside then pound the crap out of anybody who tries to bully them.
Most people (at least in my part of the world) have grown up with the expectation that "you get what you pay for". The corollary to that is that if something is free then it's worthless - regardless of whether people conciously think that. Yes, everybody wants a free Ferrari, but only because the value of the Ferrari has already been established by it's exhorbitant price. Quit giving Linux away, and set the price at $200/seat then you will see people start to be interested.
Yeah, that stuff. Actually, I'm on the fence about antibiotics. There are those claims that they drive selection for resistant strains, so there's some hope there.
I vote for the tin cans and plastic widgets. Curing every disease and prolonging life sound like really bad ideas. Surely even biotechs have seen that episode of Start Trek.
You shouldn't give credence to someone with a degree from the University of Mom's Basement. Nor should you give credence to someone with a degree from anywhere else.... Personally, I kind of look down on people who stay in school....
So what you're saying is that you were never quite able to finish that degree.
The distinctive features of 'proper' Football are that the ball is spherical (not egg-shaped) and that the hands (including arms and shoulders) must not be used.
Does "asteroid-based threats" mean threats issued while the party making the threat is on an asteroid, or threats that indicate the use of an asteroid?
What makes you think it didn't go anywhere? The thrust was diverted 90deg, so for 3 minutes it was exerting roughly 36 trillion lb/ft of torque on the planet. I don't know which way the diverter is aligned, so I can't tell you whether the conspiracy is to accelerate the Earth's rotation, decelerate it, or cause it to rotate sideways (that one would really suck).

I accidentally read that as a "naked monkey grab" and was deeply troubled.
I dare you to google the images for that, and it only counts if you're at work.
... Nobody picks a spot in the middle of Nevada and says, hmm, how can I engineer a farm here...
Actually, they do.
...the vast majority of that "use" of water is rain that happens to fall on farmland...
This growth pattern wasn't caused by rain falling on the farmland.
Microsoft has a pretty stringent testing requirement for patches. It's not as simple as slapping up a new binary to download.
Clearly, you're only referring to patches provided by companies outside of Microsoft.
"physical buttons for media and volume"?
Wow, I feel so inadequate now.
In other words, "hands off my pork, dammit!".
Which is why we should only elect Jews and Muslims. They hate pork.

It appears that you actually did mention it.

If there's one area in which the US has maintained it's superiority in, it's killing people...
You know what they say, "If you're good at something you should do it often".
The simplest solution is usually the best.
Just shoot him.

So you're saying that if you worked for Pixar you would be perfectly happy that Lucasfilm can't come and make you a better offer.
WOW! 194% of Australians are gamers!

I didn't realize that WoW had overtaken Slashdot.
I mean, like, when is the last time you heard about a website melting down because it was WoWed?

So what game is the Goalie playing?
Does "asteroid-based threats" mean threats issued while the party making the threat is on an asteroid, or threats that indicate the use of an asteroid?
Well isn't it obvious? The baseline is about half of the efficiency of these new devices.
Try to pay attention next time.
640k pixels is enough for anyone.
Sorry, but nobody else had done it yet.

I don't know what keyboard you're using, but on mine the I and L keys are definitely on the right side. FTL
Not the CITPBODSEFTC100m3LHTVSCPVFI!!!!
You missed the dash.
It was CITPBO-DSEFTC100m3LHTVSCPVFI.
CITPBODSEFTC100m3LHTVSCPVFI is still safe.
