The other day, I was driving down the road, and I thought I saw a red light coming up on the left lane, but the light on the right lane was green. When I got closer, I saw that the red light was really on the cross street, but the light had been knocked askew so it was visible on my street. Could a self-driving car deal with that problem? And if the light emitted some signal to the car, what happens when (not if) that doesn't work?
that's the thing, marriage is financially beneficial under US laws. it's also necessary for things like wills, and who can/can't testify against you, or even allowing certain people to visit you in the hospital
Yes, and that middle one is important. Um, to some people, that is.
My mom's neighbor often does a lot of driving, stops home for a few minutes, and is off again. She might need fast charging even at home. From what my mom says, I'm not even sure the neighbor sleeps before driving off again!
But it's harder to remember a lie than the truth, especially since you don't use the "secret questions" often (unless you forget your pw a lot). Now which street did I claim to grow up on?
I'm in favor of the CDC disseminating as much information as possible. I'm against the media spreading "OMG we're all going to diiie" type stories, as they often do with diseases.
All you need to do is gather a whole bunch of hydrogen. In a few billion years, you'll have enough that it starts fusing into helium under its own mass, and bingo, you have your power source for billions of years.
Yeah, awhile back I was researching cars, and bought one. For a long time, I kept getting ads for the same model I already bought. Sorry, but I have no intention of buying ANOTHER car anytime soon.
Interesting point. I've never had trouble RECEIVING phone calls over my car bluetooth. But I recently tried to make a call, and with all the problems getting the POS to understand me, I was pounding on the dashboard and yelling all sorts of obscenities at my car. Luckily, I was still parked when I made the call, or I probably would have crashed into something.
Ebola is a rather inefficient killer of humans as such things go. The current outbreak, if it is allowed to run its course, won't kill as many people as die of natural causes in California this year....
So, does that mean we should move more people to California and let the earthquakes and brush fires take them out?
One of my gripes with OS/2 is that Windows software was even more unstable under OS/2 than under pure Windows. They didn't trash the whole system, but they did take down every Windows program when they crashed. OS/2 was rock solid running its native apps. Both of them.
Well, I figure, any aliens able to get to Earth from who knows how many light-years away would regard us as an interesting species to study. Kind of like we might study some animals or primitive natives on an isolated island. An "arms race" would be like those natives harvesting more spears, and the ETs would probably get a few laughs out of it.
That brings up the question of when does a religion become different. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are considered different even though they worship the same God. Sunnis and Shiites are both Muslims, but are they really the same religion? They obviously are different enough to want to kill each other.

So, how many goats does it take to buy an iPad?
IIRC, I used to have to sign for anything over $25. Now it's only for $50 and over.
I want a good anti-social network.

I'm surprised they're calling it "Apple Pay". I thought it would be "iPay".
The crocodile and nautilus haven't changed much for millions of years. They found a niche and didn't have reason to change. We could do the same.
I actually had a debate with someone about that:
Him: If evolution is real, why haven't cockroaches evolved?
Me: Because they didn't need to.
So, the CDC is manned by the President's people?
Will a new President fix the whole CDC, and all the other government woes? Did the last Republican presidents take care of them?
We didn't have Ebola in our country when Bush was in charge. ;)

Yup! It would be like I used "Cro Magnon" as my slashdot pw.

I suspect the TSA won't be as quick to do anal probes now the Ebola is a factor.

Because, frankly, I'd rather have a chimp in the White House than most of the humans we've had.

Yup! After my mom fell, I researched those "I've fallen and can't get up" things, and for a long time was getting ads for them.

"Call home."
"Did you say, 'Call 911?'"
"No."
"Thank you, calling 911."
And that is the moment it gets distracting...

Heck, Al Gore probably consumes 70% by himself!

I keep hearing that the reason it's so bad in Africa is that they are incompetent in handling it. Surely we're more competent at such things.
Oh crap, now I'm worried!

As an American, I'm tougher than the Europeans, and I can prove it. I can take heat up to 104 degrees. The Europeans are in trouble when it's only 40!
