I'm guessing most of my posts contain grammatical errors as well as strange sentence structures, since english isn't my primary language.
As for the rest of your comment, I couldn't agree more. There's a lot of engineers, programmers and coders here. Our job is focused on finding solutions to problems, making sure our code compiles, etc. Nitpicking comes with the profession, I guess.
I always wondered about that. Was it ever tested in court? How can two services be priced lower than either one of them? Financially it seems impossible to me that A+B costs less than either A or B alone. Surely there's a law somewhere that could be used against that.
Hint to anyone out there planning to work with the cable/satellite/media companies: don't.
Stop trying to bring the dinosaurs into the new century, they prefer to die a slow and painful death. The more you try to support their cause, the longer it will take.
Robot security guard: I am now authorized to use physical force! King Arthur: [after looking at the robot security guard] Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms! Robot security guard: Yes I have. King Arthur: Look! Robot security guard: It's just a design flaw. [the Robot security guard continues to threaten Arthur despite having no arms and not being able to run] Robot security guard: Come here! King Arthur: What are you gonna do, spray me with oil? Robot security guard: I'm invincible! King Arthur:...You're a loony.
Microsoft is testing a group of five robot security guards.
One of them will malfunction and start calling himself Johnny-Five.
They contain a sophisticated sensor suite that includes 360-degree HD video, thermal imaging, night vision, LIDAR, and audio recorders.
Terminator vision.
They can also detect various chemicals and radiation signatures, and do some rudimentary behavioral analysis on people they see. (And they look a bit like Daleks.)
As Thanshin said above, "EX-TER-MI-NATE!"
The robots are unarmed, so we don't have to worry about a revolt just yet, but they can sound an alarm and call for human officers.
Their security call goes something like this: "Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
They weigh about 300 lbs each, can last roughly a day on a battery charge, and know to head to the charging station when they're low on power.
Postlady: When did you get a pool? Lois: Oh, it's a moat. I know it's silly but my husband thinks our family needs extra protection now that we're rich. Postlady: Does it work? Lois: Well... it does keep the Black Knight at bay.

Also, that sounds like an argument about splitting those companies in two, telecommunication vs media companies.

Looks like a mix of the two, to be honest. I don't want to think about the mix of those two personalities though.
I bet it was located in the diodes on the left side.
Tricorder on wheels.
And when going away after a security call, let them say "Yeah, well... I'm gonna go build my own theme park, with blackjack and hookers."
Yes to Internet, no to cable TV.

Aereo? Sounds like a chocolate bar.

And after seeing the photos, I'm pretty sure they'll soon develop a terrible pain in all the diodes down their left side.

Oh, so they are over-weight Roomba. Gotcha.
We can also manage to read "txtspeak" correctly but that doesn't make it proper english either.
And it's even easier to just download the page, edit the HTML and save it again with your new low, low prices.
I understand using the word "copies" for things like movies, music, software. But with hardware, shouldn't it be "units"?
However, because of lossy compression, you might want to keep an image that is slightly lower resolution but still has a better overall image quality.
Unless you like wasting time playing Flash games, I don't see how Flash is still relevant in 2014.
What does this have to do with 534?
What's sad is that Chrome for Android only has 9.51% instead of nearly 100%. The default "Android Web browser" is useless.
Big ba-da boom!

I don't know, everyone is ripping them apart for parts to make a 3D printer!
Anyway, jetpacks are old news now. What we want is whatever gear Lena Oxton is wearing.
