  1. Start by requiring manufacturers to identify themselves on the actual product or face a fine unless, of course, they make compostable products. Then fine them when their plastic products are not disposed of properly. "Found your fork on the beach. $2500 fine" They will quickly switch to compostables. Won't need any laws just regulations by the EPA. Of couse our EPA right now is the Environmental Rape Agency... So maybe Europe can start this.

  3. Most robots consist of a body bolted to the floor and a single appendage. And it still may be able to accomplish all Jenga tasks (with the proper programming supplied by humans or machine learning). Add a second robot for two appendages, still half as many a single human has. Given, proper Jenga rules permit only one hand at a time the second robot "arm" may not be needed/allowed. What is your point? Is renfaire the basis for robot takeover? "Well shite. Thine robot hast bested me best foot model. Here be the keys to yonder White House." Come-on, Marvel up.

    No, it doesn't mean anything until it can LOOSE at shot Jenga. When robots can get drunk THEN and only then do we have to worry. Also, we have to feel sorry for our Hungover Robot Overlords.

    This is a stupid article with useful results. Now people will realize they can use the keyboard to navigate in many other ways than they did before. Usually it will just be a few tricks. Useful tricks mind you. And every now and then the mouse will die and you have to force the OS to see/install new drivers. But honestly they are both input devices designed for different use case scenarios. Mouse trumps right-click userform. Yes, misspell a word, right click get your pick. Keyboard gives single line input of multiple characters at an unsurpassed speed, just try typing with a mouse. Keyword is use-case

    Ah but you are wrong; from the Super Revised Version: Ezekiel 4:16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment, also eat nothing from a lab or GMO stuff either And I spoke to the Lord, What dost thou mean by lab and GMO?

    Naw, I don't think that would work be cause then you could rotate the camera virtually to show the edges of the props/facades thus destroying the illusion of reality. Much of what we (used to) see in movies is good use of camera angles to hide things that would break the illusion (set dressings, height of actors [hint Tom Cruise], etc...)

  12. I think you are hitting upon something here. What is more affordable: hyper-competency and outright owning the rest of the world in technology or propaganda and the appearance of p0wning everybody?

    You answered your own (fucking) question. It is faster (and cheaper) for you not to take the bus. For me it isn't,I live 22 miles from downtown. That should be the goal here: public transportation faster and cheaper.

    If you have to take a bus that makes 20 stops before your stop then it's not worth it to ride. More express locations would help. I ride the bus. I drive my car 4 miles to an express pickup location with security monitored parking. That express goes straight downtown where I work in 17-20min, half the time it would take me to drive. (plus I don't have to deal with other drivers, can read a book, and get free wifi on the bus) If I had to take a non-express it would take about 2 hrs. Ain't nobody got time for that.
