To be fair, I didn't actually pull up TFA. But considering how much of the web requires javascript these days, its hardly something to complain about in a comment. If you don't like it, get NoScript and move on with your life.
True, but how is giving "mom" three words to type into an app any easier than lat/long numbers? My point is more that someone bold enough to seek out a random location based on an app and just a couple words, is probably smart enough to use lat/long for more accurate location anyways. I'm thinking about something like geocaching here.
At this level, wouldn't we just be sending a street address that can be typed into Google maps anyways?
I imagine if you are telling someone about a location that doesn't have a street address, that someone better be smart enough to handle lat/long points if they are going to actually visit the location.
What they could do is have the trucks drive on the rails so they have to put them in. The upside is that there will be lower rolling resistance so it'll be more efficient anyway.
Ok so let's put metal rails between major cities and use electric vehicles on them.
Instead of "I don't know" they can just throw massive error bars on the figure. For example, the earth may be 4.5 billion years old +- 20 billion years. (Thats right, it may not be created until the future...)
Depends on what resources you have in mind. We (earth) certainly have more liquid water on our planet than anything else "near by." If they have found some brilliant use for it and are running out, the economics of taking it from us could easily become profitable.

Is it really worth having a terrible acronym for something when you still have to explain what it means anyways?
Normally you have to pay extra for the bullshit part. Although sometimes it comes as a complimentary garnish with rocky mountain oysters...
Javascript is hardly "some wizzy feature."

You realize this is the 2013 version of the internet right?....
Wish I didn't just run out of mod points. Look at all those jobs created on a false pretense.
Yep. Lots of puns/wordplay going on up there.

I think they normally call that a train.
Normally I'm one the few ./ers that actually RTFS. But seriously, this summary is longer than most articles that pop up on here...
I need a tl;dr version of the summary.
Because you get to choose whether or not you're a member of the party.
Well put good sir. Well put.
I wonder if the fact that these new consoles will be running on x86 processors will come into play here...
You realize this would be the first step towards Skynet right?...
Quit feeding the troll...
Regulation turned into a big mess when people figured out how to 3d print them using only trees.
I'll take the jello pudding scenario!

True, tablets while on the john are definitely better suited for playing angry birds or similar.
Ahh, misread that part. This makes much more sense.
