    My wife named the dog Kat.

    Now when the dog gets into something and you holler at her the two cats pop there heads up and have a "What? I wasn't doing anything" look on there faces.

    Yes, but cats would do that anyway. Even if they were up to their pointy ears in the mischief.

    The least the teacher could have done was use his birthday. Then perhaps his students' math skills would have been challenged.

    Also, too, one double click to change the smooching homos to a JPEG of the Straits of Magellan, for example, would have taken 3/5ths of a second, instead of indulging oneself in these bloody histrionics. Tell me true, the teacher also was the school drama coach, am I right?

    Not in the Mafia, but that has undesired consequences, too.

  6. I am not impressed. If these guys were serious about defending the nation against terrorist binary, wouldn't they be asking for a by-God John Wayne button, instead of some cute-but-funny, fucking Red Buttons.

    I signed up for that when it first came out and have been getting more calls since --- both (semi) human and robo --- than I ever did before?

    Robert Heinlein graduated 20th in a class of 243 Annapolis cadets and spent five years stationed on the Pacific Ocean until forced to retire in 1939 because of tuberculosis, so calling Robert Heinlein a frustrated Naval Officer wannabe is a bit contemptuous of a person who was in the process of making a success along one career path, was forced to discontinue, and made an even greater success along a totally different career path.

    This is the Ross 2.0 Rifle. The Ross I.0 was abandoned for any other weapon which the doughboys could lay their hands upon.

    Unless someone uploads a usable robot repair and upgrading video to YouTube, they will have to keep a few humans around for maintenance.

    You don't understand how the government works. As the FAA's work load increases, so does the FAA's workforce, they present statistics on the number of lawbreakers they are trying to bring to justice and the FAA's budget increases, your taxes go up, and eventually you go to jail -- not because you did not operate an unauthorized UAC, but because you fell afoul of the new law against operating an unauthorized UAC simulation on the Internet.
