    Anyway, I just had to write this, I'm not even going to post it, it was just lethargic to say something. See also: http://www.angryflower.com/bob...

    I really did not mean to post that! Well whatever, I don't mean to post this either. #ApostropheLivesMatter

    Please stop abusing apostrophes. More than one Nazi are called Nazis. An apostrophe is used when replacing bits like in a contraction (e.g. do not = don't). It is also used for a possessive, e.g. "the Nazi's super weapon was super". Try to remember: don't add an apostrophe unless you have a good reason. To make a plural, just add an S. Anyway, I just had to write this, I'm not even going to post it, it was just lethargic to say something. I don't want to be "that guy", the Grammar Nazi. I don't expect everyone to write perfectly, especially in a silly online forum, but it just really makes it hard to read. I'm sure this post is not perfect either, I'm just hopefully trying help someone write in a less annoying way. See also: http://www.angryflower.com/bob...

    I have heard that was the original plot idea in the Matrix (using a human mind network for some nefarious computing tasks), but it was changed to the "battery" idea because they didn't think the audience would get it. [citation needed] Anyone have any references of this?

    There is nothing wrong with Cromulency if used correctly.

    No there's'nt any problem I see with re-tensing and such, only with the misplaced capital letter on "Cromulency".

    I think a comma after crushed would have helped. It took me too long to parse that sentence (even after pausing to breath). Anyway, aside from my grammar complaints in the summary, I haven't much to say about this. We'll see how it turns out.

  9. As long as there is a sensible failure mode on Tesla, Ford, Amazon Hint At Cloudy Future For Cars · · Score: 1

    I really like the idea of abstracting the console to the point where I can customize/control my interface with the car's computers. I'd like to be able to connect my own control device (tablet, bluetooth handset, mp3 player, GPS, ...) to enhance the driving experience. However, the CAR needs basic built in controls to turn OFF all non-essential options and simply drive, especially if an input device/accessory FAILS. If done properly, with open connectivity standards, this is a great trend. There's the problem though: too much integration without open connectivity standards. Cars' computer systems are becoming powerful. They need to be treated like any other advanced tech resource. Think: Security, connectivity standards and graceful failure modes. Happy V-day, btw!

  10. Re:Non-renewable resource on Dirigible Airship Prototype Approaches Completion · · Score: 1

    We're already extracting tons and tons of Helium every year, we're just not bothering to capture it because it has no economic value.

    Is helium extraction output really measured in tons? I'd think negative tons would be a more helpful metric. Anyway, I would buy He in tanks by cubic feet and psi.
