    I don't know if you're being wilfully obtuse or I'm missing the joke, but presumably the "restore point" would be when (or immediately before) they were beamed down.

  2. Re:How do you talk people into paying you on Bill Gates Thinks AI Taking Everyone's Jobs Could be a Good Thing (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    What if there aren't, because the other industries are full of robots too?

  3. The Orville caters to an audience of rabid feminists

    Umm, care to elaborate? I didn't notice any of that, but then again I have better things to do than go looking for it.

  4. okay non-SW cannon movie

    There was one near the end. They used it to blast the doors open.

  5. Inventing a planet that looks identical to 1980s U.S. and speaks English is stupid.

    I went to see that there Julius Caesar by some Shakespeare dude and it wasn't even in Latin.

  6. At first I thought it was neither flesh nor fowl, but gradually came to like it. The one with the wrong-sex baby would have made a good TNG episode, and the one where the first officer becomes the base for a religion is pretty good too - though I think I might have seen that plot before at least once.

  7. I have a pretty good set up at my place.

    Do you claim that as a business expense too?

    What makes you think that this is the only way I try to gather ideas, information and understanding?

    Mainly the fact that he's a pompus asshat.

    Europa? No.

  10. Right. Because the cost of living in Ctstzeckjopolackia or Lavaturia is totally the same as in London or New York.

    However, if we could come up with a packaging material that could actually be composted into soil

    They tried something like that. It was made from trees, if I remember well.

    Never caught on.

  12. I don't know. But I can't imagine any way at all how that could give a misleading result.

  13. Re:What impressed me. on Fantasy Fiction Novelist Ursula K. Le Guin Dies At 88 (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    So she'd never have a peripheral chgaracter whose name sounds like a buttplug sing a song that goes on for 47 pages about what colour his britches are?

  14. Re: Well... was the driver lying? on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Apples and oranges. They don't give out pilots' licenses on cereal boxes in most jurisdictions.

    Having visited Italy and California I can safely conclude that getting a driver's license is a lot less stringent.

  15. Huh huh. Heh heh. on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, it definitely broke.

    It's Wired, what do you expect? I'm surprised the imbecile didn't "correct" it to pizzaelectricity or piecesofelectricity.

  18. Re:Communism on More Than 750 American Communities Have Built Their Own Internet Networks (vice.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    And I assume you're as dumb as a box of rocks. Look at the numbers again.

  19. 300 phones is a hefty size. Even if you have one of those really big long coats like goths wear you'd barely get half that number in your pockets.

  20. Re:Proof of US police incompetence on iPhone X Purchase Leads To Police, Battering Ram, and Handcuffs (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    I reckon he was probably guilty, but the cops tried to frame him anyway. In that situation I think it's right he gets to walk, because if you let the cops get into the habit of gilding the lily then next time it might be somebody innocent. Me. You.

  21. Re:Still too large. on Can A New Open Photo File Format Replace JPEGs? (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    I uploaded mine to my facebook account, and then deleted it. I'm sure they'll survive forever!
