Windows NT, Windows 98 with better networking abilities. I once heard it described as "trying to make a car fly by gluing wings on it" I couldn't agree more
I saw that on TV once... at the very least, the car glided for a second or two.
Somehow, I doubt that as the dominant species on this planet, we would ever give any rights to artificially created beings who might or might not be artificially intelligent.
We still have, as a species, problems with respecting each other's rights...
So my prediction for the future is that any robots, replicants, or whathaveyous that we create will be deemed "property" and/or slave-labor (maybe not called as such, but treated as such).
IEDs can look like pretty much anything, depending on the goal of the bomb maker.
Outside of Hollywood movies though, very few bomb makers have made IEDs with blinking LEDs that would draw attention, unless those IEDs are what's referred to as "hoax devices" meant to scare people.
Even then, hoax devices don't need blinkenlights to scare people. Whole buildings have been evacuated due to the discovery of a simple metal pipe.
Won't we need to evolve before we can fit into a space environment?
I can think of a few traits I would like as a member of Cosmo Sapiens... resistance to DNA-damaging cosmic rays, resistance to zero-g bone degradation, etc.
But how would people prefer to evolve? Direct genetic engineering or sending millions of people and have each subsequent surviving generations breed until they (maybe) evolve?

I hope they serve Alexander Keith's on those space flights!
It's a good thing the Matrix used humans instead of cows for power, otherwise the movie would have been anticlimactic.
Were there any obscure cults waiting for something like this? One similar to Heaven's Gate perhaps?
I doubt anyone will commit suicide over this comet, since there's no spaceship with it this time.

There's some scat action in the current video already
That's because there's a misleading typo in the headline... it should read "Video of Wild Crow Stool..."
Here's Sam the Seagull
Did you write some kind of algorithm in the registration page to prevent your party from being a sausage fest?
Interesting to note that humans have a lower body temperature than most mammals
So, we're evolving into lizards?
They would have modded a jet pack into a radio controlled R2-D2. Sure, it would only fly for about 30 seconds, but it'd be hella more impressive.
The meteorite was just a hot rock.
TFA doesn't mention anything about the meteorite (or parts thereof) being found...
Do you know what an IED looks like?

Mind you, does it really matter? Given our very short lives in the grand scheme of things, the lack of knowledge probably isn't hurting us.
We have short individual lives, but the knowledge that we discover outlives us.
If one day our descendants find ways to travel beyond our solar system, this knowledge might prove useful to them.
Zecharia Sitchin's money making scheme...
You'd have to be pretty desperate to be interested in cavewomen
Unless you're that Geico caveman dude...?
On Mike Rowe's "Dirty Jobs"...
Not only do I boost my immune system, it's also awesome for the skin!
Also, when I get out of my backyard mudhole, I look like a scary mofo, as a bonus, the 'hood kids won't hang out anywhere near my lawn...
arent those "quasi-free states"?
I bet they were high on space cocaine.

It doesn't even mention the possibility that this planet was observed in the middle of somekind of transformation.
Maybe it's losing mass. Maybe it's coalescing.
As we like to say around here, "only God knows, but the Devil has a theory."
Alien also had that scene, except with the alien, not with a human.
I wonder what would be the effect of space engines an unprotected human in vacuum trying to get inside...
yea but THIS time, we have to keep the riffraff out...
Doesn't matter - the Chinese will get there first
Chinese Humans or Chinese Robots?
