Marfa Lights Explained
·
· Score: 3, Funny
So, it's like an episode of Scooby-Doo basically, everyone knows the lights are cars but the local area has used it as sort of fun way of attracting tourists and they even have a festival around the event.
"And we would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for those pesky kids!!!" says Mayor of Marfa.
"I know that the article summary took great pains to point out that few birds are out this far from land, but you just know that one or two will be killed by one of these turbines. It is inevitable."
I also think that it's likely that birds will become attracted to the platforms because of the fish that will gather to feed and hide around the platforms. Plus there are other denizens of the deep who will see this as a great place to rest and mate.

In response to the earlier Slashdot article which argues that innovation has slowed down...there is now a risk of Skodas exceeding the speed limit. I'd call that progress.
There was always a risk of speeding in a skoda. But now, thanks to these GPS units, there's next to no chance of you driving of a cliff.
I was actually thinking of TISM's Greg the stop sign.
Some day a comet going to wipe out all trace of Man... I'm banking on it happening before my end of year exams...
A rich kid becomes a junkie... a poor kid an advertiser... what a tragic waste of potential....
Being a junkie's not too good either
You're entirely discounting scale of economies. There are many industries in the world today that can produce items cheaper than smaller competitors. I don't see how von neuman machines can out compete some of these industries.
I believe that those industries with natural scale of economies (like batch processes) will probably still out compete santa claus machines. It'll take less energy to melt the ingot for 100 lamp shades than it would to melt one ingot a hundred times.
You have to consider the efficiency of the replicator itself. Does it require two tons of steel to make one ton of swords?
Still, I can imagine this being a very popular hacker toy.

Apparently things got really tough after the show was axed. Desperate to pay off the civil suit brought against him by Beaker, he went to Iraq and worked on Saddam's REALLY Big Rubber Hammer project.
He was later killed in Belgium in what was believed to be a Mossad hit.

Buy another iPod, you commie!!!
Don't you know we have to consume or die!
And if they get adamantine skeletons, then we are most assuredly f**ked!!!!
What would you have done if you had of found Jimmy Hoffa's body at Giants Stadium?
Would you have called the police? Or would you have just gone "Nope, nope nothing to see here. Mythbusted. Move along."
... and while you're at could you put this yellow spandex uniform and fake mutton chops on please.

I noticed that America was the only country in the world that had ghosts. No wonder your country is so scary!!

For a moment there I thought it read "Deciphering Brian's Love Map."
He's not Cassanova. He's just a very naughty boy
