Yep. That socket in the bottom of a Wiimote is nothing but a proprietary i2c interface connector. You can get accelerometer, button, and joystick input from a nunchuck with a $2.50 Atmel microcontroller. I don't know if they still have them, but sparkfun used to have a little adapter board to let you connect a Wiimote accessory to a.1" pitch 4 pin header.
Well, the problem with the rock is it doesn't survive, because it isn't alive.
That said, all of the Intelligences he mentions are at best Meta-Intelligences. He refers to how many humans it takes to stop a system, but doesn't take into account how many it takes to maintain the system. It takes tens of thousands of people to take down the healthcare system, but there are millions of people supporting it.
Lets just go with cyanobacteria. Not harmful, but the first photosynthisizing critters on earth. They created stromatolites a couple of billion years ago, and they are still doing it today, but on a much reduced scale. As far as they can tell the stromatolites in Sharks Bay Australia today are the same as the ones 2.8 billion years ago. The roaches we have today aren't the same species of roaches they had 354-295 million years ago. Notice that order of magnitude difference?
My grandmother did survive to see some of where computers took me as a career. One day in the early '90s when we were talking about something being worth buying I commented that "I don't make $50k a year not to spend it. If I want it I'll buy it." She was silent for a few seconds and then commented that "your grandfather never made that much in a year, ever during his life." I was in my late 20s and my grandfather had died the year before. I think she realized in that moment just how much those silly computers her grandson worked with were valued as tools of commerce. This was before the internet bubble and the insane salaries that went along with them. Back then $50k in the midwest was a pretty respectable salary. Thanks to the bubble in the late 90s I make a lot more now.
I believe that the GP was refering to the practice in the U.S. of making twist top non returnable bottles out of thinner glass which made for nice bottle bombs if you reused them.
Wow, that was a bit um... loose with the brewing process. You seem to add your hops to the mash and not the boil which seems to be missing altogether, and your description of lautering is also interesting. Anyone wanting to really know how to make beer check out http://www.howtobrew.com/. Yes the guy is peddling his book on the website, but the older edition is there at http://www.howtobrew.com/intro.html and is free to read online. It will take you through both extract and all grain brewing.
You keep posting, but all I read is "Whaaaaaah, Whaaaaah, Whaaaaaa".
Oh, and by the way, the sundry crap that is filler in the frame is still called a prop for digital animation. They can even have live actors in real-time motion capture animation sequences interact with digital only props. Check out the book "Understanding Motion Capture for Computer Animation and Video Games". Yes, I know that Futurama doesn't use motion capture, but the things are still called props, even if they are just parts of a picture.
You had sand?!?! Luxury! We had to grind up silica boulders by gnawing on them for weeks at a time to get the materials to make our tubes. Then we had to set fire to a few of our siblings, since there wern't no trees back then, to be able to melt the slica to make the glass to form our tubes. I'll tell you, I went through quite a few of my younger brothers before I was able to build my first nand gate.

OK, let me qualify that...
They ain't harmful to ME, and that is what I worry about in bacteria. ;)

Nope. Cyanobacteria FTW with 2.8 billion years.
And the insects bacterial overlords rarely deign to recognize us. The conceited bastards.
And I will always disagree with some people, no matter what, so... ;)
Huh? Please tell me that was a fucking joke.

I don't care about the birds or helicopters. I'm hoping they do make mini black holes. I want one. http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20080131

Is that similar to the way the Vet "fixed" my dog?

Yeah, like a bad case of sweaty juggler butt. Nothing worse.
That is why god invented paint, so clear bottles can be used for homebrew.
On second thought forget the blackjack...
RICO is older than the drug war. Much older. Still unconstitutional, and still upheld by SCOTUS.

I used Wordstar, but when it came to spreadsheet work I prefered Visicalc.
Hmmm. Couldn't "put up", and wouldn't "shut up", so it posted AC. YEA!
Damn, where do you get $10k Oracle licenses? We have to drop an average of $26k PER CPU for oracle.
Man, get a server error on post and this mess shows up. That should read
{Looks up at parents by-line. Ponders momentarily...}
The by-line was originally wrong, but WTF happened to "up at parents" sheesh. Grumble.
{Looks upents by line. Ponders momentarily...}
Um, that would be a ZERO digit UID.
Your honor we motion that defendents, if found guilty, should have to apologize and donate 20,000 lines of code to BSD.

Cool, community service.
