    The difference between them is that it's OK to be interested in small boys' opinions.

    I find your ideas intriguing.

    Do you, like, have a facetube channel or something?

    "It's not working, I put my vote in then clicked on the link in the email and the picture still didn't change".

    Same thing, modulo the lag.

    They sort of are. But usually it takes four or five years.

    Like it schmike it, the facts of the matter are that US foreign policy is mainly driven by two things: Oil and Israel. Or it was like that at the time - now there's a third - where Trump's hotels are.

    Saddam's WMD, if they'd actually existed, wouldn't have been able to hit Tucson, but they'd have been able to hit Tel-Aviv.

    US: 120 guns per 100 people.

    The difference is barely a rounding error there!

  15. One, the wires break a lot more if you're a clumsy twat or are too stupid to wear the thing so it's not pulling in the wrong place.

    Two, you don't know how to find the break, cut it and solder a new plug on? I could do that when I was about ten.

    It's true that it's easier, but the real motivation is that it's cheaper.

  17. But wouldn't that increase the cost of the unit?

    I have friend who's an electrical engineer. He suggested that the minimum feasible diameter for this so-called "jack" would be around 2.5mm - about 3/32".

    So never mind the cost, think of the thickness!

    And deterministic systems don't handle chaos very well.

    Smart sounding bullshit. For a start, chaos is deterministic.

    Even if all the cars are automated, you have people, dogs, deer running into the street.

    That's randomness, not chaos.

    It is my opinion that our human race is either on the brink of greatness or of self-annihilation.
