I use a scalpel with a no. 15 blade. I guess those won't exactly be plentiful come Mad Max time. Then again it'll probably the same for shoes, and IIRC going barefoot tends to keep them worn down anyway.
I was walking through a fleamarket with my son (he would have been 6) and there was a stand with vinyl records and various decks - old wind up jobs to 80's audiophile stuff.
I asked him if he knew what they were. "Are they CDs?" was the reply.
Pah. Horseless schmoreseless. Compare that to the last 30.
We've: Taken things that already exist and done them with a computer. Taken things that already exist and done them over the internet. Taken things that already exist and done them on a phone.
I watched that last night. Not sure the kids got it though. I wouldn't have thought time travel paradoxes would be too difficult for a 7 year old, but he probably takes after his mother.
That aside, couldn't Kirk have proved somehow that he's from the future and convinced her to *not* head up the anti-war movement?
By the time we've developed enough A.I. and robotics to "take most of our jobs away", I'd sure hope we also figured out how to colonize at least one other planet.
Right, because those two things are so similar in many ways. [eyeroll]
You do realize that those companies are themselves likely paying FAR more taxes than you towards paying for those police forces and the justice system?
If that's true they need to get better accountants.
There is very good evidence showing reaction times are impaired a minimum of 50% at what are now legal blood limits even in the most tolerant drunk.
Tolerant drunks are as drunk as anyone else at an equal BAC level.
The difference is that an Irish Rugby player will be able quaff considerably more to hit a given BAC than a Cherokee ballerina because of his size, acquired resistance - and possibly genetics.
Self driving cars still require a human to take over whenever it doesn't know what to do...or if fails to see child running into the road...
If you're not actively driving, your attention will wander. Yerkes-Dodson law. By the time the alarm has alerted you, you'll be several car lengths beyond the red smear in the road.
I can only conclude, or at least hope, that you don't drive and never will.

More like yuckarotes.

It's still as close as makes any practical difference.

Some kids can't be immunised for genuine (non-nutter) reasons.

Perhaps you should go away and have one.
Not really, because Xy McXface is not funny for any value of X.
So the people who do the spying aren't concerned about spying, and therefore nobody else should be?
A standing army is an instrument of repression, because founding fathers and fat Germans and all that..
But police are a profit centre, and LOOK! A BROWN PERSON! He must be a tairst.
Essentially, you change the colour of the uniform and it's OK.

Only if it's moving directly away from you.
Stopped cars don't run into things.
By that logic, the most dangerous thing of all is to be stationary.
P.S. It's "than", not "then".
So he's pretty safe, then?
Wrong. Biologically speaking, there is only one human species.

Rewrite slashdot to either support unicode properly, or (preferably) not support it properly.
And what's more, a fair proportion of them were shite.
Legal officer: "Don't be so bloody stupid, we'd totally get sued. And by the way, I think you mean they're."
Like they take out the a-with-a-coolie-hat-bracket-TM-closebracket?
