What if in the "meaningful" universe, by some definition of meaningful, say the range of a Star Trek warp drive in a human lifetime, we really are alone?
...carrying a crew that includes the country's first female astronaut... A manual docking, to carried out by one of the crew members, is scheduled... Two crew members plan to conduct medical tests and experiments...
Look... I apologize already for the insult, okay? But it isn't entirely undeserved. Making extensive use of, well, let's say "borrowed" technology -- not to mention the outright theft of some of it -- is hardly equivalent to doing this stuff on your own. If it's a success, I will be somewhat surprised, and not very inclined to credit them for it.
I know. American scientists were able to get to the Moon without using any technology from any other cultures. Every other country should have to do the same. The Chinese shouldn't even be able to use those rockets we invented thousands of years ago.
(For the sarcastically disabled, I know who invented the rocket)
I'm going to quote you offline to friends, and not give you any credit*. But just know that I appreciate your putting of my thoughts down so succinctly!
*Okay, fine, I'll say "this guy on Slashdot said..."
I try playing Red Dead Redemption, someone starts shooting me, next thing I know I'm either staring at the ground or up in the sky and getting shot....and then die.
Sounds like you need to either invert the Y-axis, or turn off inversion. It's in the game's settings somewhere. Look for options/controls or something like that.
Some people's brains want "push forward on the stick" to mean "look up" (because you're pushing up) while others want it to mean "look down" (because that's how planes fly). Yours seems to be the opposite of what the default in the game is.
I agree. The better solution however is offices with doors. The BS management philosophy that cubes or bullpens are helpful is so obviously wrong that I could never understand how it has come to be so prevalent.
It's cheaper. The BS about work flow is so employees will go along with it
I find that my headphones are fine if I have a little mirror stuck to my monitor, so nobody can sneak up behind me. I've gotten to the point where I don't even turn around when talking to people anymore, I just look in the mirror.
It's about 3 inches wide, and its similar to the extra, magnifying mirrors on some cars' and trucks' side mirrors. It (along with headphones) has made my cubicle life a breeze.
These people, though, were doing nothing wrong so they have nothing to fear from these unelected civil servants poking through their personal information, right?
It could have real advantages, you could actually see clothing on a model that you load up that looks like you (instead of the same 25 stick figures with exchangeable faces).
Actually, your boss will still want you in 8 hours a day (Did I say 8? I meant 9 because you get a lunch, that you're expected to work through). Now you'll just also be expected to work on your commute, too.
Video Games are cheap entertainment. The Poor need cheap entertainment.
So video games can satisfy "The Poor"s need for cheap entertainment, but there is other cheap entertainment that could do the same (basic cable, sitting around talking to friends, etc).
There are so many shows out there that I never got around to, that are either streaming on Netflix or easily gotten on DVD (again from Netflix), I simply cannot watch them all. Even the shows I watch now will be available eventually. Maybe I'll have to wait 6-12 months but I'll see them. And after that period, I'll not even notice it.
It happened when I cut the cord for Hulu (and some of the shows I liked weren't on it). It'll happen now. And then I'll have even LESS reason to go back if the cable companies pull their heads out of their asses and offer reasonably priced content.
Yo dawg, I heard you liked creators, so I created a creator to create creators who created their own creators, so your creator could be created by a creator.
My assessment of this has always been that if man was created in God's image, and man requires the worship and admiration of his peers, then God must also.
Great. He has the option to give us omnipotence or vanity and He chooses vanity.

Then the entire thing is ours.
Not to mention "easy."
...carrying a crew that includes the country's first female astronaut... A manual docking, to carried out by one of the crew members, is scheduled... Two crew members plan to conduct medical tests and experiments...
...giggity.

If they do, I'll stop watching it.
If they don't want me watching their stuff with the ads, I'll just not watch it at all. Maybe then I'll get some shit done around here.
I hate to "this" someone but...
This.

But how then would they screw us over?
Other than hidden programs on your phone that send and receive data, of course.

Nothing, and from what I can tell from the original post he has nothing wrong with them either.
But doing both TOGETHER? No. Not very fun.
I wonder if this is just a better explanation of why I don't like Facebook. My explanation is, "it sucks."
Not to imply causation given a correlation, but maybe these two things are related?
These people, though, were doing nothing wrong so they have nothing to fear from these unelected civil servants poking through their personal information, right?
...right?
I don't think his problem was that he didn't understand the word in context.
Hilarious burn. After all, if Facebook was captivating and relevant, then we would actually see people using it.
The same argument could be made against people watching Jersey Shore and the Real Housewives of *.

No, it'll be your face on the stick figure model.

You seem to think all that technology is there to help you.
With HDMI, my Xbox won't turn on until the TV's on and set to its input. It never did that when I used component cables. How is HDMI better, again?
Not exactly.

Well if he had seen Him before, he'd probably not call Him an absentee landlord.

The title also uses the word "women" where it should use "female" as you do.
So if this bill is passed, won't it, "degrade, disrupt, or destroy" the Internet? Won't it therefore become illegal?
