they are in effect breaking and entering into your property.
Yes, but somewhere in there is a notice that they are doing so. It's more like someone breaking into your house after leaving a post-it note on your porch warning you of it ahead of time.
I don't see how this system can truly display a 3D image. The author claims to use a magical new substance called "retro-reflectum". Sounds like hocus-pocus to me. If they have truly developed a 3D display, THAT'S the big news...
If it's not 3D, and does not shift the view with the movements of the viewer, it doesn't work.
So he ordered a hamburger with full knowledge of his beef allergy? Sure, he did...
Anyway, As McD's always points out, with the low prices at which they buy beef, anything else would be more expensive. Think about it - how much would it cost to ship roadkill kangaroos from australia?
Canon has shown that it can afford to sell the same camera for $500 less. I expect they're happy enough if people buy either camera. It's less profit, but it's profit.
I remember sitting in a bar drinking with my physics professor (OK, I didn't go to a normal school) when he turned to me and said "What is the value of time as the volume of beer approaches zero?" The answer was: "Time to get another beer!"
...are some decent games. It's been years since anything original or even slightly interesting's been released in any electronic format. I've seen lots of "awesome graffix!!!", though.
"Why not save dread trees, et al. &
skip the paper stage... go directly
to digital."
Maybe because some people actually prefer getting together with friends instead of sitting around by themselves staring at a computer screen. There's more to gaming than "awesome grafix!!!!"
"those folks" have dumped a PIDDLING sum of money compared to the total cost of the ISS. WE payed for the station, they pay to play astronaut. The "space work" coming from the station is practically nil. Wake up.
From the article: "Employers are most interested in what are sometimes called "soft" skills: a deep knowledge base and the ability to listen and communicate; to think critically and imaginatively; to read, write and figure,"
Is this why companies are canning all American programmers over 40 and replacing them with english-illiterate H1b immigrants?
I've met a few people from Utah. They seem to think that people should live clean, be good to their spouses and children, take responsibility for their own lives and all sorts of weird stuff like that. Basically, a bunch o' freaks.

Which will then be outsourced.
When I was a kid, I invented the lever. How was I to know it had been done before?

Two thousand views of my PC monitor.
So this is what computer programmers do in their spare time - program computers! WooHoo!
Don't you think the folks who submitted songs kept copies for themselves? I did.
Believe it or not, Autotune already exists! This product is the sole reason people like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake can be called "singers"

They were, simply, annoying, and that's probably close enough.

Brawl and Lightspeed are Cheapass "real-time" card games like Falling but are much better IMO.

So basically, my taxes have gone to pay for a space hotel for billionaires.
Q: How many people does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Two, the same number it takes to screw anywhere else.
Sorry, I don't have any physics jokes. I'm a chemist.
Come on, when was Adobe Illustrator released? And BT's never heard of it?
One other thing somebody will have to explain to me - why are they predicting things that will happen 3 years ago? The copyright date reads 2002.

* pay-to-view channels
How am I supposed to channel surf if I have to pay for every program that's on my screen for .2 seconds?
"gingham - n. A yarn-dyed cotton fabric woven in stripes, checks, plaids, or solid colors."
You're right, that's fucking hilarious! I just blew tortellini out my nose!
Come to think of it, it IS envy!

That would be cheating, wouldn't it? It's supposed to be "Man Vs. Machine", not "Man Vs. Machine and Another Man"
