  1. Unless attendance is mandatory it's not like the examples I gave.

    Do plants crave them?

    You'd also end up burdened with an unstable, impoverished country that needs constant peacekeeping expenses, as happened with Iraq.

    Burden? Typical leftist claptrap.

    It's an opportunity. You need to be more entrepreneurial like those fine folks at Halliburton & Blackwater.

    One good thing, about the elites, is that they know, how to use, and not use, commas.

    How long? If they can only reach yellow people (not orange ones) then who cares?

  6. If what I read is correct they weren't students at the university and so it had no contractual agreement with them. So what did it owe them?

    If this had been a government site - that they were obliged to use to file their taxes or apply for a driving license or whatever - that'd be different.

    But it isn't.

    Me on why Kurzweil is an utter loonball.

  8. It's better except when it isn't, and when it isn't it's a lot worse.

    I saw something on TV the other day - self driving car totally failed to notice a roadsweeping van with a huge fluorescent sign on the back doing 15mph in the fast lane of a motorway. Carbon unit took over just in time. Now it probably shouldn't have been there...

  10. Unfortunately, the business psychos are only held in check by government. They don't go full on destructive because it's just too expensive when they have to fight government to do it.

    If they got rid of government they'd just become the new government. I doubt they'd be better than what they replaced.

    What a pity. I take it you're not a philanthropist, a philosopher or a Phoenician either?

  12. I can't say. Grammar might decide that fewer are, though.

  13. Our survey said "Ughhh Errrrr". on Swatch Takes on Google, Apple With Watch Operating System (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Switzerland's four-century-old watch industry has been adjusting to new competition since Apple Inc. entered its territory with the Apple Watch in 2015.

    Wrong. It was already doing that when digital watches appeared in the 1970s.

    P.S. I spotted & corrected the a-hat-TM in the copied section. Ain't preview marvellous, manish?

  14. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Like how "Gift" in German means "poison" in English.

    It's unfuckingcanny how many other words in their time & galaxy mean exactly the same as they do in this corner of ours though.

    The real joke is that what our brains "see" isn't even in and of itself direct observation. What we perceive in the visual center in our brain is a highly altered representation of the photons that struck the retina. None of our direct senses are really direct, and all go through considerable processing before we actively and consciously perceive them.

    Defence rests, m'lud.

  18. vies with Silicon Valley for control of consumers' wrists.

    Not mine. It will take something pretty special to displace Lucy Lawless.

  19. I don't know if the US has more or if it has better ones. But it's certainly better at getting them into positions where they can make a difference.

    Bush was an idiot ignorant country bumpkin hayseed, remember? Never mind that he graduated from Yale University and the Harvard Business School.

    He was a successful businessman too, and all totally on his own merit and nothing to do with his family connections at all, no no no, I must have him confused with someone else.

  24. It should be "larger than Switzerland's". Unless they measure economies (whatever they mean by that; I doubt they know themselves) in units of area.
