This. I work in a Faraday Cage so no cell phones for us:). We also have this thing called a "CD Player" where you take these circular disks, put them in the device, and it makes music.
I went to a local bookstore once to buy a book for a friend's birthday. They didn't have it. They could order it for me and get it in about 2-3 weeks. They were also charging $15. Amazon was able to have the book to me the next day for $10 cause their 2-day shipping often arrives in one day. And no, I have never paid for Amazon Prime- they keep giving it me for free.
So the Palestinians launch missiles at Isreal and you are upset that Isreal is pissed off about it and launches counter attacks? If Canada started launching rockets at the US, I would expect us to invade and conquer them in short order. I'm surprised that Palestine has been allowed to exist as long as it has.
Philip K. Dick has an interesting note on drug use at the end of A Scanner Darkly. Basically he says that he and all his friends did drugs left and right because it was fun. He then goes on to explain the consequences of their actions. While he may have writtena number of brillient and insightful books, his life was not one I would want to have.
That's exactly the kind of injury that cycle helmets aren't much use at preventing -- the speeds are too high.
Also, some research showed that drivers overtook helmeted cyclists with less room compared to unhelmeted cyclists, i.e. the drivers take a higher risk because they assume the helmet is protecting the cyclist.
Didn't you know that helmets are really magical body armor that protect your entire body from all injury?
When my husband worked at a nuclear power plant they used biometrics and a pin number. In addition to their regular pin, everyone had a "duress" pin. The thoery was if you were being forced to open the door you would enter the duress pin and the door would open, but also notify security.
If go to the store and buy a widget and I take the widget home and it turns out the widget is busted or is the wrong widget, I take it back to the store and the store refunds my money. That is one of the things I love about America. We have insanly liberal return policies on physicall goods. If I decide that I no longer need my widget I can give my widget to my friend.
If I go out and buy a piece of software and I install it and then determine that the software is busted or doesn't suit my needs, I cannot return it. If I decide I no longer need the software, I am not allowed to give it to a friend.
Hey wait... are you speaking of being rational? Of not burning a company to the ground just cause some talking head told me they were the evil incarnate? Now who's being crazy. Everyone knows that if they were the same color shirt as you they are good and if they don't then you should burn them at the stake.
No rifling would lead to high inaccuracy, but it would still work. It has nothing to do with the shape of the bullet. The rifling causes the bullet to spin which allows it to travel in a streighter line.

I suppose that's why I downloaded chrome on my iPad?

I would love it my work tracked employees in the building. Then I could always find who I was looking for. Trucking companies actually do this.

Can we then also have American Idol style elections? Each week we vote a candidate off after making them dance for our amusement...
Cars? Computers? Telephones?
Vote for someone without a D or an R next to their name. Don't vote for the D because you hate the R or vice versa.
Small children jump off things even when they were born on Earth.

By similiar to Katrina you mean it's a tropical storm in the gulf of Mexico?

Software is not a product. It is a service.
And if they won't sell me the full version of the app? Or have no demo version?

Not to mentation not all mutations are bad. Walking upright was a mutation at one point and I'm pretty glad we got that one :P
And you will end up like the architecture firms- 10 engineers, one PE. The engineers do the work and the PE just signs the forms.
Since you have nothing to hide, can we listen to your phone conversations and read your emails?
Around here you can go to Wal-Mart and buy you shotgun, your ammo, your shovel, and your rug all at one store.

I want to be able to walk into Wal-Mart and buy my printer, my ammo, and my plans all in one stop :)
I wish I had mod points...
You don't necessarily need rifling. It helps, but people made guns that worked just fine without it for quite some time.
I mentioned behavioral profiling (the details of which I am not very familiar with) in my second paragraph; perhaps you didn't see it?
That you did. Sorry. I failed reading comprehension.
