Guess no one watches Andrew Zimmern's "Bizarre Foods" on the Travel Channel. He eats bugs all the time.
I myself got my fill back when I used to ride motorcycles...
Bit of networking and cpu's in the cars also means we're just short of losing major choices. Soon you won't be ALLOWED to speed, waste gas or go where you are not allowed to go (what do you mean you want to drive across the country on vacation? Not if your car won't allow it...) First it will be for 'insurance reasons', then for the 'common good'. Say goodbye to more basic freedoms....
Before you grab your shotguns and crossbows, remember that there are nearly a half-a-million radio-control plane enthusiasts out here in the countryside and we're NOT trying to spy on you. But we will send you a lawsuit and a big bill if you shoot down our planes....;-)
Everything in the Universe seems to follow a bell-shaped curve. There may be benevolent civilizations out there but on the other side of the curve there are likely to be Klingons (who dont take prisoners) and Kzinti (who eat their prisoners) as well. Hope that we meet the right ones first.
Well you can toss a box on the table marked 'employee tools' containing a calculator, a pad of paper and a box of pencils and then ask the 'boss' how much work he thinks the department will get done....
Yeah, I've only flown r/c planes for 40 years. They can NOT carry a big enough payload to do any substantial damage. Even full-sized Cessna's have been ruled out as not being able to carry enough explosives to be a real threat.
Please feel free to go live on a commune. Many tried it in the '60s and many of them are now corporate CEOs (reference Steve Jobs) after they found out how much it sucked.
Think you've got people complaining about EM sicknesses now? Just wait till they find out about this. Power drain and costs per mile are going to put it too far out of reach (look around at the crumbling road infrastructure we have now and ask yourself if you also want a few hundred amps going through there, too...)
They tried this back in the '60s with helicopters. Didn't work then. The way aircraft are made now and with the emphasis on weight reduction for fuel savings, it'll never fly....
Hunt out a local SPAM Robotics high school group. I worked with one when my son was in high school. He learned a lot, I learned a lot and we had a great time. Most groups are desperate for anyone who can help mentor the kids.
Sounds great until you realize that all asteroids have all kinds of spin. This not only makes hitting the same hole problematic, but even if you did the hole may not be pointed at a direction you want the ejected thrusting gasses to fly....
Paul makes a very common mistake: trying to imprint his logical understanding of the motivations an alien race we've never met.
Even humans had numerous motivations for leaving their countries and spending years to travel to foreign lands.
Anyone who insists that it CAN'T happen is probably as wrong as the scientists who insisted in 1902 that Man will never fly.
They'll be crap. Period. You can't churn stuff out that fast and not use cheap CGI, lots of regurgitated stock scenes and cardboard sets. We're talking Galactica1980 bad. Next they'll say they'll have the focus on gangs of pre-teens and it'll turn into "Bad News Bears in Space"....
Many manufacturers need a license to put anything controllable on the Net.
Devices need to be certified that they are not openly hackable or a danger sitting out there in the big wide world....
These 'cafes' are really only there for one reason: to separate your retired grandparents or parents from their retirement checks.
You can get free wifi in pretty much any restaurant and free internet computers in any library; there's just no reason for internet cafes down here in Florida.
That said, I'm sure the full casinos pushed through the bill.

"Why is everyone running?" "The reactor blue-screened and we found out it's running on VISTA!!"
If it renames itself Colossus and starts looking for routes to Guardian, CUT THE LINES!

Get ready for the lawyers to start filing suits from the people claiming WiFi sickness (probably before anything gets rolled out, too...)
Why pay for a device? I've had my "MyDocuments" folder redirected to another (bigger) physical drive for 7 or 8 years.

Nothing gets you more attention than deliberately trying to hide yourself....

40 years ago, sci-fi author Larry Niven called them 'wireheads'.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirehead_(science_fiction)

"Uhhhhhhh.... ISS this is Houston. Why exactly are you downloading files named 'femalebodyparts.data'...."

It's all fun and games until it links up with Guardian and starts giving orders.... Full Movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wBhTI2lRi0
Anyone could volunteer to go to Saturn or Alpha Centauri, but the bottom line is we don't have the technology to go any of them.

With the possibility of hundreds of billions of planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone, EVERYONE should get their own planet...
