Hell, I was raised by an inanimate object (my Dad) and I turned out just fine. Seriously, I'll bet those toys use more logic and processing power in ten minutes than my Dad used in the past forty years.
First of all, how much is this going to cost to watch. Why do we have to go see a meteor shower anyway? It's just flying rocks right? Can't we all just hang at the quarry and have a rock throwing fight?
Maybe with a bus, but not the subway. In Philly, it will take you fifteen minutes to get from 69th street to City Hall on the subway. In a car, in the middle of the afternoon, it will take 40 minutes at least. Not to mention finding parking when you get there.
It depends entirely on the programming of the system. Give me a veteran city bus driver any day over a robotic car with software designed by Microsoft.
"This car has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."
In the city even if you do have a car, no matter where you work, you are still going to have to walk a few blocks. Unless you work somewhere with valet parking.
One of the things I was wondering when I read the article, was how would security be implemented? In a major city like Philly or NY, those things would end up becoming cheap hotel rooms, or places for rapists and muggers to get a little privacy. Sure, you could put security cameras in there, but who is going to monitor thousands of cameras? Those things wouldn't stay clean long either. Unmanned, they would be targets for grafitti writers and vandals. I could just see one going down my block. Empty 40 oz. bottles being hurled at it from all sides.
Sure they look neat for daytime tourist areas, but for mass transit use throughout metropolitan areas, it'll never happen.
What happens when people start drinking these nanoprobes. I don't want anyone monitoring the pollution I have inside me. Christ, just what I put in my body last night will get me in plenty of trouble.
Every morning, I vaccinate myself against the media.
I give myself a little bit of the bacteria so that I won't catch the full-blown disease.
Is it right? No. Not right. Necessary.
It is very risky. I am exposing myself an epidemic. A horrible plague that has enveloped most of the world. A little too much, and I could catch the virus. Too little, and I won't be immune. I push the envelope.
Newspapers and radio won't really do the job. It has to be TV.
Yes. I'm talking about the Today Show, with Katie Fucking Couric and Matt Lauer. It is the most popular morning show by far, and Katie Fucking Couric is the highest paid woman in television history. It has to be the Today Show.
Every morning, I let some of this insipid, evil, slimy SHIT into my body.
I watch the part of the show where they interview "Betty" the woman who just lost a son, daughter or husband the day before:
Katie Fucking Couric: Betty, welcome to the show.
Betty: Thank you Katie.
Katie Fucking Couric: Betty, you have known your husband since you both were eleven years old. You were best friends growing up, you were married when you were twenty, and you had nine children together. Yesterday, he was melted in a chemical explosion that may have been caused by Osama Bin Laden. How does that make you feel?
Betty: *sob*
Katie Fucking Couric: You now have to raise nine children on your own. Will this be difficult?
Betty: *sob*
Katie Fucking Couric: Do you miss your husband?
Betty: *sob*
Katie Fucking Couric: Do you consider your husband to be a hero in the War Against Terror?
Betty: *sob*
Katie Fucking Couric: Thank you for being on our show. We take you now to the weather with that big fat humorous black guy.
This very television show is the single most disgusting thing in the entire world. Bar none. I honestly can think of nothing that even comes close.
Watching it is like trying to stay afloat in a coursing river of vomit.

Most of the time when you call tech support, especially for a major company, you're talking to somebody in India anyway.

Do those things drink beer?
IT professionsals earn more money than whom? When did this happen?

It'd be a damn sight cheaper, I bet.
Exactly. Does this guy think we're going to MISS Hollywood?
Shouldn't the current citizens of Mars have some say in this matter?
Yeah, I know. Call me a liberal.
Doesn't sound like you are defending anyone's right to do anything.
Sounds like you're a jackass dickhead troll.
Go read a book, shithead.
"be little" Keeerist.
Could you please explain how your standing on a wall has defended anyone's right to post anything?
If you have in fact defended his right to post stuff, then why are whining like a simpering republican bitch about it?
Why are you reading these posts anyway? You might miss something important on Rush Limbaugh or Pat Robertson's discussion groups.
Mindless talking asshole. Go read a book.
I took vacation days to fly to San Francisco and see the film "exactly as Lucas intended it".
It was totally worth it.
There used to ba a game exactly like this. It was for the Macintosh if I remember correctly. I think it was called Spectre.
They speak unintelligible gibberish in other countries. They wear funny clothes. The whole world should be Texas.
Soon.
I can see pimps using them as low rent hotel rooms too. They will even open the door for you.
Sure, there'd be cameras in them. The people who monitor the tapes will be stealing them and selling them to porn shops.

I highly recommend watching it.
