Actually, here's an example (not verbatim) of something that happened last week. (on phone)
Me: Hey, this video card is busted.
Them: How so?
Me: There's no picture. I tried a different monitor. I tried this card in another computer. Nothing. It's dead.
Them: Well, we'll send one out then. Is this going to [my address]?
Me: That's the one.
Them: Alright then. Anything else I can help with?
New $200 video card (same as it was replacing) sent out next day air with a return shipment label included for the dead one. Not bad for $70. And if something else dies, that'll get replaced too. I've been dealing with this company for over 10 years now.
Yes, in fact. I see one at lunch very often and there's one at the place I go on Saturday nights. What's your point? Also, I see plenty of people smoking even where there are not vending machines.
Pursuit of Happiness. Not the Receipt of Happiness. Getting fired does not impinge on your so-called "right" to the "pursuit of happiness" (which is a line from the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution, and therefore is not binding in any way). It means you're free to pursue your happiness elsewhere.
Do a search for The Disclosure Project. Absolutely fascinating stuff backed by pretty high-level government people. It goes into detail about what they saw, what they know, and when they were told to NOT know it anymore.
Asimo doesn't walk like we do. Dexter (this new one) looks like a 10-month-old trying to learn to walk. A robot built to walk in the same vein as Asimo will never be able to walk as easily as a human does. There's way too many variables that would have to be hard coded in (as Asimo's programming is).
Yay. An Iraq war reference. Slashdot never fails.
Not every topic of conversation has to lead to talking about disabled war veterans. Or maybe it does.
Slashdot Mirror
Because this test was to test the subjects' fears, not the researchers'. ... and I apologize. It just sprung to mind. :)
Yes. Descent is quite unAmerican. We Americans prefer to go uphill.
Good.
There's no constitutional right to vote in federal elections. Nice try.
Apparently it's not "permanent" ice. The presumption that we humans know what is "permanent" is mind-boggling.
If you were brilliant, you'd learn to manage your own finances.
Ever tried killing a wolf with an epee? I
Yay. The first Fox News reference. Always fun to see how quickly someone will throw that name out there.
Yeah, but those people's skin is too dark for anyone to care.
No, I don't think that way, but that seems to be the only difference.
Mod me down if you must.
I still think there should be a Godwin's Law counterpart for invoking the name of Fox News.
I call it K`Lyre's Law.

Am I the only one who thinks we need a Godwin's Law counterpart for people invoking the name of Fox News?
And just how much is this Gold support? More than $70? That's how much I pay my computer sales place for 3 years of parts and labor.

It's not small. No, no no.
Since when is Global Warming even remotely related to science?

Woah. You convinced me. Nice job.
I'd ask for a mod up on it, but... this is slashdot.
Natural? Not in the least.

Mod parent up.
So chicken > human?
I think you mean.. "Belligerent and numerous." You're welcome.
