they actually run short, animated commercials outside the holand tunnel entrance (coming from the east side) in new york. luckily for the advertiser, there's usually enough traffic that a viewer can actually see the whole thing.
wow, the price has gone from $335,000 on a news program i watched this morning, to $325,000 fifteen minutes later on the same program, to $295,000 here no slashdot. is the pound tanking again?
I can't remember if this idea was in "Future Quartet: Earth in the Year 2042" or a short story by Vernor Vinge, but the gist was that in the future, humans would buy robots as investments, and send them off to do manual labor for them, collecting salaries and what not. At the time (and now, too), I thought it was an incredibly good idea, which doesn't completely screw humanity. There are obviously class issues (i.e., rich guy goes out and buys ten machines and collects ten salaries, keeping poor guy from having a 'job' for his robot), but that's bound to happen anyway.
Yeah, I'm going to go with a no on this one. Everyone said the same thing when ATMs came around, "Oh no, they're going to replace actual tellers!" But it didn't, banks still hire quite frequently for bank tellers.
ever notice that at older banks, there might be six teller windows, but only three tellers, regardless of day? Perhaps this is a local phenomenon, but I wonder if ATMs didn't dampen the need for human tellers.

no such luck there. holland tunnel traffic is a universal constant, except for hours between around 9:30pm and 1:00am on saturdays for some reason.

Psst.. Corporations dont care about exploring Uranus, they care about profits.
i don't know, there's probably some cooperative of proctologists that does.
wow, you get three years to achieve profitability? where do you work, and are you hiring? :)
i've got about 2 gigs left (on a 20), and it's all music. if i ripped all my cds, i would probably come close. and everything is 128.

nice of reuters to let any nasa engineers reading this know what a meter is equivalent to.

pimp daddy ridge takes offense.
I hear Shug Knight wants to bundle this with Tupac's twelfth post-humous release.

yes, but how many hogshead's of clouds does it take to move 40 rods?
i scored a honda accord.
an lx, but it'll do.
Jesus was...
a ROBOT!
(and he built my hotrod)
but not a lot of credible evidence. So, I was hoping to hear from Slashdot readers on their experience.
:)
so let me get this straight - you haven't heard much 'credible' evidence from others, so you're going to ask Slashdot users?
good thing we've all got waterfalls on our respective properties.
;)
you're absolutely right. i recommend that we all remove our clothing, and shave all body hair. and daily cavity checks should be the norm.

or we could just turn our phones off.
they were ordering for a family member.
oh, wait.
I think that a similar concept was in "Earth Web" by Marc Stiegler - specifically called Idea Futures.
Also, you can physically chew them out if they keep screwing up,
that sounds painful in too many ways to effectively visualize.
touche.
i seem to be doing a crappy job, though, considering the whole death problem.

WHO!?!?!?!?!
