So slitting a goat's throat's ok but walking around w/a live chicken is beyond the pale apparently.
Apparently this is only news of interest to people who have never hunted or raised livestock -- the sort of people who get their meat at the Grocery or McDonalds -- people who's food comes in a tin, wrapper or is served on a plate. This is such non-news it's pathetic.
In other news Steve Ballmer killed a mouse by throwing a chair, but has not confirmed to have eaten it.
I wonder how MS(Sync) and Google will coexist in the same car. Will Sync go ahead and call AAA for you in an attempt to smear the Google provided route? Will Google go ahead and terminate your Bluetooth connection for you because it thinks you shouldn't be on the phone? Will they both attempt to buy out the ECU for the marketshare of the computer network in the car?
One more commonality: The media industry hates when you use it.
Add to that...
Oil
Technology
Transportation
People of extreme political views
Terrorist leaders...
"Uh, excuse me, but if I'll be waited on by a McJillian virgins and it's all so wonderful, why haven't you strapped a bomb on under your coat and walked into a crowd?"
Key part of the article that is not in the small summary...
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt have now discovered a single neuron in the brain of locusts that enables the adaptive regulation of sparseness in olfactory codes
So... this explains last night's American Idol voting...

Why do they call things "inventions"? What about prior art? What about obviousness? Methinks there should be a law against ridiculous and/or frivolous patents.
The whole USPTO needs a shakedown. Have you written to your Representative and Senator about it?
I hold a patent on mentioning Amazon's One Click shopping as an example.
I'll be suing you in the highest court in the world... in Machu Picchu.
More seriously... this is where countries which do not respect this sort of garbage will be friskily sprinting past the USA in technology advancement, while innovators a are bled dry by these sort of leeches.
Remember how Patents and Copyrights were established to encourage innovation? Ha!
When I was an undergrad studying computer science at the University of Michigan, they wanted me to pay the higher engineering tuition level, even though my CS degree was in the college of Literature, Science, and Arts.
Therefore, I didn't declare my major until halfway through my second-to-last semester. Why pay the higher level tuition for all the LS&A courses they required me to take as well? Engineering level tuition for French, Creative Writing, and my Race & Ethnicity Requirement? I don't think so.
This will simply accelerate the outsourcing of engineering to other countries as well as hiring of grads from offshore universities from countries that want to promote engineering, etc.
Clearly something is broken in American and isn't getting fixed.
When my interview for a job involved Monty Python humour I should have known it was doomed...
It's fun to joke and reminisce great Monty Python skits and jokes, but when your supervisor's mind isn't on it should be a warning. The job lasted only two weeks - he was a complete flake, changing mind on specs and ideas almost daily and a 200% turnover before the upper management decided the problem wasn't the worker bees, but their manager. Some solace that was.
Still love MP, but work is work and when someone wants to just joke around be wary - your probably missing something important and the jokes may be a cover-up.
Fear-mongering is a tried-and-true motivator. Worked for Hitler. Worked for Stalin. Worked for Bush
Looks like you're trying to make it work for you too.
Whenever you hear leaders speak you should consider everything they say to be potential garbage - they have their motivations - whether astro-turfing the massacre of innocents or to elevate their own stars. Sometimes they are upfront and honest, while others it pays to have a critical mind (unless you want to remain happy, because ignorance is bliss - until it's you being rounded up, that is.)
I view everything which comes through government channels from Iran as Potential FUD. The rigged election, suppression of protests, detentions, disapperances, etc. of political opponents smells worse than when the Shah was running the country. For all we can tell they didn't really have a worm at all, but failed to read the owners manual properly.
Wow, the paint job and vacuum-molded parts are amazing. This is truly a piece of contemporary art. I like how it speaks to the University of Bielefeld's futile desire to build a working robot.
Sure looks more professional than the goofy dancing robot from japan. I'm more likely to favor a spider for a robot than an insect, spiders get into everything. Those extra legs work pretty well in the front for exploring, testing, etc.
Undoubtably, though, the true test of a robot is What does it do when it finds itself on its back?

I heard he actually has someone else kill the animal and then steps in and claims credit for the kill.
Yeah, but he doesn't get the experience or the gold for killing the goat.
... that sounds and looks like a Tricorder or something that actually works?
"and behind this little panel is where we put the Altarian Nanocat for Cat Scans..."
Someone sneaks around behind all their dirty little tricks and they don't like it.
Comes with the territory, boys.

Could be fun, to watch, not to drive.
I'm certain the facebook car already hates it.
It will take you to the parking lots or navigate you past businesses who have bought search results.

something had to...
Dominance of one input over the others and focus at the expense of seeing the overall picture.
It's the tunnel-vision neuron. And it's intentional.
Fascinating.
Sounds like at least a dozen Talk Radio and TV Talk Show hosts.
"What does bloated master neuron say now?"
"It say subscribe to its political action newsletter!"
In Soviet Russian Giant Neuron regulates YOU!

Maybe if Communism actually worked I'd consider doing something like this.
It is my personal observation that Communism works well in a small group, like a tribe. More than a few hundred people and you need a tyrant.
"Notice all the vehicles outside, parked up and down the street?"
"Yeah, bunch of leeches."
"How can you say that? They're taking advantage of a basic freedom, exercising their rights, lest the government usurp them!"
"Have you looked at the plates on the cars and vans?"
"Uh, no. What's special about them?"
"Exempt. Almost all of them. They're using your connection due to cutbacks - they are the government."

1) Where I can buy one?
2) Can be controlled by USB or radio link?
3) Can be equipped with solid-state kilowatt-class lasers?
4) Can deal with my neighbors?
5) A optional laser would be useful
