Something tells me that Sony is going to be shoveling gobs of money at certain game development companies for exclusive rights to a couple of truly awesome games so that the only way to play them is to buy a PS3.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie. They just had no business trying to associate it with Azimov. They should have stuck with the original title of the script, "Hardwired"
There's a big difference between mostly crap and all crap. Mostly crap is slightly good. With all crap, well, with all crap there's usually only one thing you can do.
What's that?
Go through the ticket booth and look for loose change.
Whatever science comes up with, one can always back out and say that the system as a whole was created by an omnipotent external creator.
You just hit the nail on the head. No matter what evidence appears, you can always say 'goddidit'. There is no evidence that could ever come up that might possibly damage the 'goddidit' explanation. It is inherently unfalsifiable, which make it scientifically worthless. One of the conditions that an explanation must pass in order to be considered a scientific theory is that there must be some way to disprove it. If cats suddenly started giving birth to iguanas or if we didn't find fossils in nice layers grouped by time period (excepting when the layers get shuffled around by geological activity), that would disprove evolution pretty damn fast.
As a Marylander, I am SO happy they they are getting rid of those damn things.
The dumb thing is that the system that we had before wasn't even confusing at all. Each candidate's name had a arrow with a gap in it. You simply used a pencil to complete the arrow for the candidate you wanted to vote for.
You just turn this:

into this

No one was even complaining about it.
I assume that they just wanted to jump on the electronic voting bandwagon, no matter how much the entire IT community railed against the machines.

I didn't say that it would work and convince people to buy, just that they would do it.

If these things can monitor your movements, how about making a set of tights that can be used for motion capture.
If you were trapped on a tropical island with Ginger and Mary Ann, would you be in a real hurry to escape?
The Inventor of Carbonated Beer
Not to mention the surfboard, the electric guitar, and Rock and Roll.
Yeah, but changing it and evolving it is not the same as making it. You 'make' the creature by starting the game.

1. Move around
2. Make a creature
How can you move around before you even make the creature?
"I, Robot"
Schoolgirls all over Japan just felt an icy chill of fear whip through them.
How long until we can have nanites that attach themselves to the individual rods and cones of our retinas and cause the nerves to fire or not.
Obscure? At least three other people made Real Genius jokes before I did.
Now all we need is to put up a satellite with a large spinning mirror.
And how exactly are they supposed to know that switching browsers will keep the window from crashing?
But isn't it poetic justice that we use IE's dirty little hacks to bring it down? Remember that evil always contains the seeds of its own destruction.
When I got to the main article page, I hit CTRL+F and searched for the word 'knight' with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that I would find at least one.
/.ers have not let me down.
The
Nemesis and Insurrection were only mostly crap.
must... resist... ah the hell with it.

Where have you been? Fark doesn't have a 'boobies' tag anymore. They moved all the adult stuff to a seperate URL, foobies.com.
Why the hell is anyone still using IE?

:D
Are these guys worried about genes of individual people being searched, or privately owned, corperate made|discovered genes?
If it is the latter, I don't see a problem.
Hmm... interesting. This was Baltimore County.
btw, love the name. Discworld rocks (no pun intended).
