Let's put the blame squarely where it lies... on the stupid freakin' parents who were letting a 6-year-old play GTA!
How about blaming the parents for having a car that can be driven with either a game controller or a mouse and keyboard? It's not like their family car is grafted as the head to an extra large robot!
The problem is the layman has no idea where their credits are coming from. I'm in the industry, and I can't always tell you the value of a credit.
They could follow the Bethselamin example: any net imbalance between the carbon your company releases vs. what it sequesters is removed from the executives and shareholders (and, in cases of extreme imbalance, their dependents) on a drawn-and-quarterly basis.
If consciousness is an emergent property of a neural network, then would activating a small network bring some small fraction of consciousness to a brain?
"It's starting to roll." "Shit!"
"Bring in the L.E.D. Lock it down."
"He's on." "What's the story?" "We saved the left arm." "What? We agreed on total body prosthesis. Now lose the arm." "Jesus, Morton." "Can he understand?" "We'll blank his memory, anyway."

Contrary to what you say, it actually is possible to escape a black hole! If you have a rocket engine and enough fuel you could use a constant force to counteract the gravity or slowly increase your orbit to outside the Schwarzschild radius.
And then you could use warp particles to crack the event horizon from the inside!
why didn't they put a couple of USB signal pins in there.
"Auxiliary channel can be used for touch-panel data, USB links, camera, microphone, etc."
Though apparently this display opted to have a separate USB connection instead.
But it is also encumbered with copy protection and the use of any adapters will prevent playing any DRM video content and reduce the resolution. Also, Apple is the only one using the Mini DisplayPort and isn't yet offering any adapters to regular DisplayPort connectors or direct to HDMI to preserve the copy protection chain, so Apple is the only vendor for external displays with full DRM compatibility.
On November 27, 2008, Apple announced that it would license the Mini DisplayPort connector with no fee. Apple though may void the license if you "commence an action for patent infringement against Apple" in which case the "Implementation License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate immediately and automatically, without notice from Apple" and you must "immediately cease any further exercise of the license rights".
So it appears Apple is holding onto the rights for this Mini port and conditioning licensing on staying in Apple's good graces wrt patents, unless those terms have changed since 5 December 2008 when the above revision was made to the wiki.
One thing I don't get is given apples descision to use propietry display connectors why didn't they put a couple of USB signal pins in there.
DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard (approved May 2006, current version 1.1a approved on January 11, 2008) put forth by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). It defines a new license-free, royalty-free, digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system.
Did you actually just suggest using the MBP as an external hard drive for the majority of the time?
No, not the majority. I'm just brainstorming some ideas.
Though I have thought about converting a Blue & White G3 into a large external drive storage device with Firewire interface, drives RAIDed. I've managed to have seven hard drives installed at once (and an upgraded power supply).
In the USA if you import a vehicle from a RHD country then you must either replace the headlights or have them converted to the proper beam pattern... More Info
That page as it reads right now is silent about the requirements in the USA and speaks only to requirements in Europe that are alleged to be regularly flouted. That military personnel swapping with other personnel going between the states and Europe swapping assemblies doesn't state anything about it being a legal requirement in the US.
either way the analogy still works
No, it doesn't. There's no buying of a new car as the OP suggested as left-side drive cars are currently legal in the US so right-side drive cars would not be if the convention was reversed, and no conversions solely for handedness convention under law have been proved.
Now if it were a matter of moving to California and having to modify your car to meet California emissions standards... well, people are dealing with that already.
Oh, it also has built-in microphone and speakers. With an adapter to combine the USB and mini Display Port into an ADC connector, I'd be willing to put that on my old G4 Cube and put its original external speakers on my KVM switch for my other computers.
You miss the PowerBook Duo, don't you. Me, I don't like having a desktop machine that is useless without the laptop present.
Have you considered using Remote Desktop/VNC over WiFi from a desktop machine to control the laptop? Or starting the laptop in Target Disk mode and using it from the desktop as an external drive? You might even be able to boot the desktop from the laptop's drive.
Apple also has their LED Cinema Display designed for use with their laptops. You plug all your desktop peripherals into the display and connect the display to the laptop with three connections: mini DisplayPort, USB, and MagSafe power connector. Yes, it can even charge the laptop so you can keep the laptop's charger in the bag. It is also Apple's only external display with a built-in iSight camera.
car makers can only sell driver-on-left cars in the US and can only sell driver-on-right cars in the UK
Then explain the existence of contrary vehicles on the roads in both countries. They may require special licensing, but they aren't barred from operation on the roads. This is especially true for countries that share a drivable border but have contrary road-side conventions.
And the Jeep Wrangler is available in the United States in right-hand drive configuration.
I have cable and won't be getting rid of it anytime soon, so this is a total non-issue for me.
Are there any requirements for cable companies to down-convert broadcast channels to standard definition signals in their analog tiers at their end or are cable subscribers still going to have to rent a box from the cable company to do that (which over time will be far more expensive)?
Since the broadcast channels have to be carried unencrypted on cable, one of these converter boxes could be used with cable to down-convert the digital channels to analog without monthly rental fees.
If the US government decided all of a sudden to change from driving on the right hand side to the left hand side of the road, don't you think people would be rightfully pissed about having to buy a new car, or get theirs converted? (Look! A car analogy that works!!)
No, it doesn't. You don't need to convert your car (or add any converters to the car) in order to drive in the left lane, as evidenced by multi-lane one-way streets and passing lanes not requiring on-demand reconfiguration of the car.
Sabotage! The original of what you PC owners came to know as Paratrooper and iPod users as Parachute.
Some out with a IIgs emulator and I'll finish my port of this game to IIgs graphics.
Meanwhile I'll need to hook up my PowerMac 7500 (upgraded to a G3) to read my 3.5" ProDOS disks and get them onto a system with an SD card writer, and my IIgs to get what's still on 5.25" converted to disk images on 3.5" disks. (I don't know if the OS currently on the 7500 can do AppleTalk networking anymore.)

I'm waiting for the latest and greatest supercomputers to have huge GPU farms.
Just wait until they perfect rapid fabrication and live expansion. GPU farming is the future, fabricating additional cores on demand.

Replace the removed brain with an electronic brain. A simple one would suffice
A 6502 would be ideal.
It worked for Ahnold.
You might note it's a facetious plural ;) Which is to say doesn't exist.
Actually, it should be a facetious second-order plural, as in the progression: box, boxes, boxen. Compare: a sock, a pair of socks, a bunch of soxen.

There are theories that within each black hole is a universe all to itself, but even if it's true we'd never be able to observe it.

Heck, this is why Apple swapped to the magnetic power plug! Why are the rest of the connections less important?
The other connections tend not to be strewn across the floor as a trip hazard. It's intended as a safety mechanism, not a wear-and-tear solution.
The only thing here is that you can not plug your speakers into the airport express.
USB speakers?

I'm making an obscure movie reference; whether that makes me insane is an opinion for someone else to form.

No, it doesn't. You don't need to convert your car (or add any converters to the car) in order to drive in the left lane, as evidenced by multi-lane one-way streets and passing lanes not requiring on-demand reconfiguration of the car.
Collect some cans along the road and turn them in to buy your converter.
I'd rather collect some TVs along the road and turn them into a sculpture of a triceratops.
