No, he did coke, which, last time I checked, isn't the same as crack. Therefore, one who does coke alone cannot be a crackhead. To be a crackhead, one must smoke crack, which I don't think was as available as it is now.
I thought engineering was something you had to go to college for, not some 'school' in a strip mall that does computer 'certs'.

A Clear Channel station in the Dallas, TX area is doing this right now; there's a radio 'personality' who used to be located in Dallas and does a show every night from about 7-10, I believe. In actuality, he's physically located in Florida (Miami, I think), but the station gives the illusion that he's actually in Dallas at the time of the broadcast, which he isn't.
The funny thing is that the station doesn't tell the listeners that this is the case, so logically people will try to call in to get on the air with the DJ, only to find that there's simply a guy running the board playing the tape, and he has to explain to the caller that the DJ is 'busy' or 'can't come to the phone' or 'not taking calls'.
Clear Channel is a disease to radio stations...all the playlists are preprogrammed and sent from somewhere else. There are no true DJs at these stations, just people who push buttons. And if you have 2 Clear Channel stations in one market, chances are you can find them playing the same songs simulatenously more often.
I wouldn't be surprised that down the road some major car manufacturers start using this open source code for onboard computer systems. It would save them money, help create a standard for onboard computers and probably bring about a new revolution in the modern society(ok, a bit of hyperbole).
Your points are valid, but what if there was some bug in some module of the enormous body of code that could not be produced in only the rarest of circumstances, causing the car to explode (or something catastrophic to that effect)?
Who would be held accountable if it were open-source?
You're right, I should have mentioned that. That's a very good point. Perhaps someone should come up with a website that examines English-speakers wearing clothes with Kanji on their clothing.
I don't own any articles of clothing or anything else with any Kanji on it. If I do decide to buy something with Kanji on it, I'll consult someone who can read it (i.e. a native Japanese speaker). I don't want to walk around with a shirt that says "I like to have sex with animals" in Japanese and not know it.
Well said. This website can't demonstrate your point any better.
The funny thing is that Japanese people will wear clothing with English phrases and not know what they mean -- one girl wore a t-shirt that said, and I'm not kidding, "Miss Urine Tester." Worth a look.
Here I was looking at the front page, and I see the word 'ghost'. I expected to see 50 trolls referencing 'Ghostses of Mississippi,' but, alas, I am mistaken.
with Fred Savage and they played Nintendo at the World Video Game Championships. What I remember was where Fred's character's brother was playing Super Mario 3 with a power glove, and I was like, hey, that's not possible. Anyone remember (I should probably go to imdb and look it up but I'm too lazy:)?
Me? I'll spend my spare CPU cycles trying to find a drug combination to cure cancer.
Sorry if this comes across as flamebait or redundant, but I just think that there's more relevant problems here on Earth that we could fix.
Is Will Smith going to rap in this movie too?

Because it seems like he's rapped about every other one too (Men in Black, Wild Wild West, etc). I wonder what it will sound like, and will it have 'ha ha, ha ha' at the end of every line.
Poor guy. Even though his vital signs remained normal, the surgeons did not see what happened 90 minutes later, and it was too late. The surgeon was called to fix the problem but the damage had been done.
Using this technology in surgeries, etc. is great, but could this be a case where humans blindly put their trust in the machine? Until this technology is perfected and absolutely error-free/failsafe/100% accurate, I'll opt for the human to do the surgery.
I'd say get a firm grasp on.NET. I've been on all of the job sites lately and all I see is C# this, ASP.NET that, etc, etc. It's a Microsoft world, and, unfortunately, we're just living in it. My.02

How can a robot enhance your life? They make it sound like you're adopting someone or hiring your own personal assistant.
Let me know when robots can actually do important yet monotonous tasks for me, and then I'll buy one. Until then, I'll just consider robots cool gadgetry, but not purposeful, functional things.

You mean you actually save pr0n locally to a hard drive? I haven't saved pr0n on my computer since 1994, better safe than sorry...
no, mullet.
Right, I should have said that cocaine and crack are the same thing, just differently 'prepared,' if you will.
Freebase? Don't you remember what happened to Richard Pryor?
No, he did coke, which, last time I checked, isn't the same as crack. Therefore, one who does coke alone cannot be a crackhead. To be a crackhead, one must smoke crack, which I don't think was as available as it is now.
Wakamaru also can ask questions such as, "You are home late, aren't you?" or "Are you O.K.?" when the master remains silent.
If I want someone to ask me over and over if I'm OK because I'm not saying anything, I'd get married.
As far as robot technology has come, you'd think that robots would be able to handle awkward silences.
