    Yeah, but he has a BRITISH accent, which is cool. Unlike Einstein, whose German accent is evil and reminds us of Nazis...

  2. Well, as long as we're going down the path of choice, perhaps if everyone dressed in the same clothes, we wouldn't have this issue.
    I'm thinking a society of Steve Jobs lookalikes.

  3. looking, loooking, nope. I don't see him saying anyone is less human than he is. I believe the what part refers to the ambiguous gender we were discussing.

  4. give us some percentages on that.

  5. Nah, that's Audi Drivers, the "cream" of the crop, so to speak.

  6. If it wasn't true, they wouldn't be overreacting so much.

  7. how is this even faintly insightful. You'd just move the problem over to gay/lesbian coercion.

  8. I'm pretty sure corece means " I'm a big powerful google executive, do what I say or you may lose your job / promotion opportunities. I don't really need to say this out loud, you know how it works".

  9. Well duh. If I was the CEO of a company, I wouldn't date anyone in that company. You're just asking for bad things.
    But I'd also understand that If I WAS asking someone in the company out, there would be that underlying "I can fire you" threat behind it, even if I didn't mean it. So back to not asking anyone in the company out.

    Apparently not the world's coral reef, but 80% of areef in the Cayman islands.

    Although, looking at the yacht, I kinds despise the guy now. People driving around in yachts like this are lecturing us on climate change , so...yeah, good riddance.

  11. Re:Save the environment on Is Repair As Important As Innovation? (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    per wikipedia:
    The car could achieve 40 mpgUS (5.9 L/100 km; 48 mpgimp) on the highway, and with a small 86.6-inch (2,200 mm) wheelbase and 139.8-inch (3,550 mm) overall length, the vehicle weighed 1,500 pounds (680 kg).

  12. Stop for a moment. Consider what you just said. Whistling at a girl is the equivalent of removing a condom during sex with a woman.
    Ponder that for a moment.
    now go sit in the corner until you're better.

  13. You just reminded me.
    If anyone wanted to "come to justice" with less fear of something mysterious happening to them, NOW is the perfect time with the Saudi issues on the front burner.

  14. Re:GAY NIGGERS OF AMERICA GNAA GNAA SUPPORTS CATS on WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Sues Ecuador For 'Violating His Rights' (sky.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a sneaking suspicion the original post and the rebuttal came from the same source.

  15. Please don't say Kommiefornia. You sound like my Dad. But you are right: The .50 Cal ban was just boogeyman worry.

  16. I , personally, have never met a Klingon or Romulan in Australia.

  17. Well hell, if that's your argument, we should ban personal deflector shields.

  18. The article you quote only references 3D printing in passing, on it's way to a larger debate regarding federal gun legislation.
    I would, however, be interested in seeing crime statistics on these 80% guns versus simple "I bought it stolen from a guy out of his trunk" . I'm fairly certain most people going the 80% route are hobbyists,and aren't running around shooting people.

    To be fair, as a US citizen we are pretty fat...

  20. This all got ridiculous on When Your Day Job Isn't Enough (wsj.com) · · Score: 2

    When Uber started advertising "Side Hustle", as if working 24 hours a day at two or three jobs was sorta cool.
    It's not.

  21. Re:Segway, anyone? on Driverless Car Hype Gives Way To E-Scooter Mania Among Technorati (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I will say, however, that segways are really cool. A friend convinced me to do one of those "segway tours of the city", in this case Las Vegas. I thought they'd be stupid, but the Segway was actually really intuitive and kind of a thrill to roll around on.
    Of course, you can't afford to buy your own unless you're willing to put down motorcycle level cash, but otherwise they're fun.

    walk. it still works.

  23. These will go the way of the hoverboard on Driverless Car Hype Gives Way To E-Scooter Mania Among Technorati (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Once the lawsuits start rolling in on injuries, and people begin to realize these things are rolling accidents waiting to happen,they will fade away into the sunset just like hoverboards.

    Thanks for the laugh. So you're saying the islands, that the UN condemned , are internationally recognized? Yes, recognized as being illegal.
    Please, tell me more about the illegal occupation of Texas, California and Hawaii.

  25. Yeah, that's what every major company said about investing in China. Look where that got us: Tiananmen Square in the 80s.
