    Oh gooddy, something new for my bot farm before I start my junior year in high school. Thank you.

    One has to start somewhere, considering that those who started used sticks and rocks to separate stuff out of the soil and arrange it into things like buildings, and can openers.

  5. Re:Misrepresentation on Zynga Puts Random Stranger In Customer Support Role · · Score: 1

    I just can't help but consider that somewhere there is a NSA gray man in a gray building reading these Zynga emails and trying despartely to make sense of the replies. Now that would make a good game and movie idea; I'd watch it.

    I couldn't read the screen anymore, to much coffee spit on it. OMG! How many users actually did this?

    I respectfully submit Eric Mueller as Zynga's employee of the Year. For demonstrating, sensitivity, and an in depth understanding of the Culinary Arts as applied to Servers.

    Clot! Now I've got to get a rag to clean up the coffee I spit all over my keyboard and desk, after RTFA.

    I can't help but wonder if Snowden wouldn't be a good fit. Lets face it, he told the truth when others did not.

  13. Re:head transplant, or body transplant? on Neuroscientist: First-Ever Human Head Transplant Is Now Possible · · Score: 1

    I think that the repairing of nerve tissue would be an exciting topic in the medical field. Maybe the use of stem cell therapies could be applied here? But due to certain enlightened rule makers, one has to go to India, I believe, to begin to answer these questions. And I'm certain, India, when they find out how, will be generous in giving of this hard won knowledge.

  14. Re:The King Is Wearing No Clothes on FWD.us Remixes the Statue of Liberty Greeting · · Score: 1

    Sucks to be you. I have a relationship with my family also. By the way, I'm not divorced. I have observed the family values of Asia to be every bit as intense as those on the other side of the planet, north and south. So when I see a new crop of harvested geniuses shipped in from the loading dock; my first thought is "congratulations" for makng it here. It's a shame you didn't bring the reason for coming here." So I ask you, "Why do you come here and not bring the ones you dearly love, your family?" I question your motives, rational, your very logic for existance. I've seen this before, in pictures of a Coal Slag Mound photographed in Wales.

    By the way, when you and the rest those harvested geniuses figure it out that you've been con'ed, big time, maybe you realize there's more to being smart, than just being smart. I'd also say, "grow a pair and beg for forgiveness to the one you married." Then get your ass back here to home, where you belong. There's work that needs to be done building this country.

    It appears that Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Edith Ramirez discovered this uncomfortable reality when she violated an Google patent for speaking up in public.

  16. Re:Depends on the energy source duh! on Electric Vehicles Might Not Benefit the Environment After All · · Score: 1

    Progress begins by one person stopping and saying, "what if." You have no reference to your endeavors, so I question it. But the topics you've brought up are in the news papers. The return on investment for conversion of manure to energy is under intense evaluation, but not ready for prime time. Solar Cells, by todays standards easily achieve break even point, after cost, and still give to the energy grid. Wind Based Energy appears to do so also. Nuclear power appears to be a siren's song, but maybe is very useful for Space Based Manufacturing?

  17. Re:Depends on the energy source duh! on Electric Vehicles Might Not Benefit the Environment After All · · Score: 1

    The problem for Big Oil is breathing exhaust. Batteries appear to be an intermediate answer, Fuel Cells are an even better answer. And when combined with Solar, and Wind; appear to be a convincing solution. The car did not take over, over night, it appears that the electric computer controlled car will have a similar path. But what the intermediate return on investment will easily demonstrate is that investing in Battery Technology, and Renewable Energy solutions will put the participating community at an advantage over other communities that do not.

  18. Re:Washington Post on Beware the Internet · · Score: 1

    The Internet has made our planet smaller. People can talk, and easily ship stuff from one place to another. Ship stuff? Ya, all by the Internet. If Robert J. Samuelson wants a cold sweat, then she should start looking into the open source establishment of Asimov's Laws,(I would hope they become tensors), of Robotics. Gifting any machine the ability to hunt and kill, for any reason, is truly disturbing.

  19. Stories of large complexes that house big data go back to the 1970's. Does anyone remember the giant warehouses filled with data tapes? Where the warehouse is 99%+ automated? Come on! What do you think those tapes were filled with? I remember my father, (ex Navy), saying, "never say anything on the phone you wouldn't say in front of an angry mob, staring at you." My take on Snowden is two things, he'll learn to hate the day he decided to take this course of action. And 2, foreign diplomats that have known all along that this crap has been going for decades will use it as leverage at the bargaining table. For example, that stupid ass contract to some Indian software company for 'DC medical software? India will shut the F up, and as each country "strikes while the iron is hot", then they to will in turn shut up when they get some concession. And Obama gets to eat the credit. By the way, if Snowden has an "accident", that will cause the other countries to want more to shut up.

    Mr Zuckerburg would throw the statue of liberty in your face with his ad. But when I see the H1B's roll in, I see no families. Why?

    As for India, isn't it time to let them be free, of us? Canada's oil pipe to Huston Texas can only help the buyers in Brazil; are they not able to be free of us?
