Time to drop a reality bomb on the debate. Here's a few fun facts nobody ever mentions:
Asian carp are taking over and causing immense damage in the Great Lakes. They are not genetically modified.
Any GMO at any time can be poisonous or deadly or cause cancer and we wouldn't know it for years and years. The threat hasn't gone away, it just hasn't happened yet.
Unfortunately for the hippies, not every single GMO is bad. In fact, changing one protein in the skin of a fruit or the plant's roots rarely affects the edible part of the plant.
GMO is just accelerated adaptation. Any plant can become hazardous to humans or nature. Did you know humans are almost the only animal that can eat Avocados without becoming violently ill or dying and humans are one of the only animals that can't eat crabapple berries. That's just nature being nature.
Actually a keylogger that detects keyword density in a string and then wails on the backspace button isn't all that unrealistic or uncreative. It's sort of dumb but sort of smart. I wouldn't rule out that her keyboard was damaged by moisture or her car walked over the keyboard though. She sounds a little paranoid.
But in every demon summoning case, usually 6 people are sent in and always handle the situation. There's the mage, the fighter, the defender, the cleric, possibly a ranger, and like 1 more exotic type character. So to fight robots you'd send the programmer, the junkyard guy with the hammer, some dude in improvised armor, a first aid medic, some guy with a gun, and maybe an explosives specialist or ex-con or something.
All the Hawaii PR department has to do is rebrand now. "Come see a real, genuine flaming hellscape. Don't settle for those fake Hollywood post-apocalyptic disaster landscapes. Come see the real thing!"
One: the vehicle needs to never run anyone over ever. That will not happen. You hit one single piece of property or person and it might as well be Nancy Grace's house you hit because she and the rest of the media will tear that technology to pieces.
Two: computers need to be as smart or smarter than humans at visual object recognition and adaptive decision making. Right now they're about 0.001% of the way there.
No, the taxpayer is on the hook for the taxed percentage of the difference. In other words, far from 100%.
By the way, I'm pretty sure the entire summary is wrong. Goodwill is considered an asset and you can only write it off if you lose it. At least that's how companies work. Microsoft did it recently with their surface line.
It's not as useful as you think. The American device's #1 function is to tell you that you're currently being hit by a radar gun. Surprise, too late. Same with laser-based guns. In some cases some models detect radio frequencies but a lot of radios now have listen-only mode and the detector goes off like crazy anyway.
No, there's evidence of gravitational lensing. We still don't know much about gravity. We do know it can potentially be created with just energy and not mass though. So it's still likely that dark matter doesn't exist.
There has never, ever, ever been any evidence at all that dark matter exists. It's all just math and for the math to be correct, us on Earth have to be able to calculate the total mass and energy in the entire universe. We're only off by like 10:1 too at last count. So instead of calling it invisible and omnipresent, how about the more accurate invisible and onmi-non-existant.
Anyone remember the Magic the Gathering card "Avatar of You" from unhinged?:D But seriously, I totally need a D&D miniature of myself. Unfortunately, 6 inches is far too large to fit on the 1x1 grid. I think that was a bit of an oversight but maybe the resolution of the 3D printer wasn't good enough.
They didn't specifically say "companies" are included so they can make all the money they want off business accounts.
Also, I think it's reasonable to call the main site the platform like Android and then make money off freemium game and app sales, also like Android or the Apple Store. That's definitely enough money right there.
Aha, so it's named after the observatory. So why does that observatory have such a stupid name? Because it's named after the mountain it's on. Why was the mountain named that? Wikipedia seems to indicate that they have no idea. I guess they just pulled random words out of a hat.
I have an idea. Spend 1 million training kids to not wander randomly into the street. I love how there's this magic assumption that at 25 MPG you won't hit some idiot in the street but at 32 you would. You're probably going to hit the stupid kid at any speed. They should just not be in the damn street!
You ever get women together to do anything? They're genetically wired to basically kill each other even if the nearest male is millions of miles away. It would be a disaster.
"The case is believed to be the UK's first prosecution of illegal manga and anime images."
Except for the other cases involving the exact same thing and England that were also on Slashdot years ago. Seriously, England got famous for being the first country to crack down on it and 4chan and deviantart and other famous communities got pissed.
A stupid, manufactured trend of something nobody wants? Count Microsoft in! Maybe they can find a way to put not one but TWO TOUCHSCREENS on it! And then add a subscription fee for ongoing costs and add DRM to all the media on it.
According to NPR this morning, they're the largest IT services company in the world. I think that's due solely to them going 3x over budget on every project though. They're basically Oracle mixed with SAP.
First of all "Drinking sugar-sweetened pop could take years off your life." So yeah, drinking 160 calories of sugar constantly is unhealthy. Who would have thought?
Anyway, if you're keeping score, tap water is an estrogen-filled, flouride-poisoned death sentence. Diet drinks will make you fat somehow. Non-diet is as bad as smoking. Being constantly dehydrated will shorten your life and increase risk of cancer. So basically no matter what you do, you're dead already.
And here I am with cheaper Sennheisers that are superior quality. I guess I'm just too darn smart to fall for marketing plugs, celebrity endorsements, and companies slapping their brand name on inferior products in exchange for basically bribes.

Maybe the camera melted or got blown up in a methane explosion.

OMG rush to the site! WAIT!!!1!!! Maybe ebola took down the sites! Or maybe the airbags are packed with ebola! PANIC!
Or you could just call your car's brand's local dealership and have them run your VIN.
They must have hired some ex-HP laptop division employees.

Can anyone explain what a "siding spring" is? It sounds like a Linux OS release.

It's got to either be We Help Ostriches or Waffle House Observers.
