I seem to remember that was coming to a store near you several years ago. Sensors embedded in the aisles would trigger ads to be played on the monitor as the cart came into range. At the time, I remember thinking what a shame it would be if the monitor got cracked as I throwing a can of beans into the cart. In any case, I've never seen these actually in use.
You realize that the rockets and the moon landers were built with government, i.e., NASA, money, don't you? Do you think Rockwell, Boeing, North American, Grumman, or the myriad other contractors would have built the things they did without the fire hose of money coming from Kennedy's space program? There certainly were things built that had other, commercial use that might have been funded and built anyway, maybe, but most of that technology had a single purpose and probably would never have be funded internally.
When my company was bought, the parent company, who uses Notes, put us on Notes. Two years later, we're still fixing issues with the migration. Nobody likes this POS and that includes people in the parent company who've been using it for years.
Just a moment...just a moment...I've just picked up a fault in the AE-35 ammonia distribution unit. It's going to go a hundred percent failure within 72 hours.
Look at the money they paid Lebron James right out of high school. No need to go to Duke or Kentucky.
Absurd? You bet, but the the analogy is the same. Those who have the talent, motivation, and contacts to start a business without college are out there past the 6 sigma point on the curve just as athletes like James are. For the vast majority, however, going to college to learn your trade and, even more important, learn how to learn is the best path to a successful career.
Given the state of today's technology, what has been the biggest surprise to you. Something that, 30 years ago, at the dawn of the personal computer, you would have never envisioned as being possible?
Yeah. I'll be battle-hardened to withstand 20G shock, survive submersion in seawater to 500 feet depth, be rad-hard, and have full-up mil spec documentation. It's yours for $127,343.36 per copy. Do you need the HumVee mounting kit as well?
Nobody who died on that show stayed dead. Like SCO, they kept bringing them back for one more episode. Well, its time to let go, SCO. Walk off into that bright light.
The available water is already over-subscribed for the current population and industry of Az and, with the effect of global warming, drought is settling in for the foreseeable future. If all these people are gonna move in, what are they going to drink?
Whatever the bible says about life, the universe, and everything, it is most assuredly NOT a theory in the true scientific sense. It a mix of myths and goatherder tales and is no different in that regard than creation myths from native americans, the incas, or any other religion.

The goggles! They do nothing!

Welcome to the magical world of government contract accounting and a little accounting term we like to call overhead.
be released into Picadilly Circle by terrorist mahouts.
We caught wind of this by collecting phone metadata and prevented it from ever happening.
Prove we didn't.
We are neither safer nor more at risk with these machines gone. As long as we're limited to 1-1/2oz shampoo bottles, we know TSA is on the job.

And Mythbusters has taken to either blowing shit up or shooting guns at something almost every single episode. Hardly the stuff of inspiration.

Wish I had mod points. You hit the nail right on the head.
you can now go in style!
Like everything else down under, these bacteria coulf kill with big, nasty teeth, poisonous spines, and deadly venom.
Or, as we like to call it, the B ark. Funny how most of the enlistees are telephone sanitizers, hair dressers, and public relations people.

It seems like that should be of even more concern.
The Island of Dr. Ellison : Pig men for all!
And like Raspberry Pi, I can't get one anyway.
It's Tennessee.
They got to keep the rubes under control and the best way to do that is to keep 'em stupid and down on their knees.

He was gonna use Holocaust but thought that might be a bit rhetorical.
