If I eat more beans, I'll be more flatulent, increasing my contributions to the problem.
Ever notice how Human Population Reduction or Stabilization is never a part of these proposed solutions? Though I will admit this time they're proposing to reduce the number of cows.
I've had enough problems with thumb drives, hot swap, card readers, cameras, and memory cards, that I'd rather just kick the eject as a conditioned habit.
I don't trust computers. It's like everything they do is intentional. Even when we tell them to do something, they're just going along with us for the moment.
Well, if it's energy waves, it can be used to communicate. I've seen that postulated in at least two SF stories.
How long will it be until the first GW phone call with nothing but heavy breathing? Or the first GW phishing email?
Orson Scott Card is in the credits as Producer. Not as a Pretty Face Executive Producer, just Producer. Directly involved in the movie production.
In recent Ender's universe audiobooks, he talks about how he stuck to his guns for years to make certain that the movie would be made like it should be - with children, not teen-agers. He added new backstory that shows why it came to Ender yelling 'Now'.
He talks about how Ender's Game, on its own, would be impossible to make a movie from, as all the important interaction goes on inside of Ender's thoughts. By making it about Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow combined, it becomes an interaction between Ender and Bean.
And anyone who is surprised to see the final battle in the trailer is probably one of the two or three people who did not read the book. They can't put everything in. I don't see Achilles de Flandres in the cast list on IMDB. I think that's unfortunate as he's a very richly constructed character in the books.
We'll see which one of us is right, but I personally think this is starting to look like a really good Movie - rich with new back story, visual context and personal interaction.
As a tech user, I know that nearly nothing technical was invented by Apple. (Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything but I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt,)
They have improved some things a lot but their top activity is marketing. They have no doubts 'invented' some business models but their most active practice is to sell above average devices at premium prices and some car manufacturers have been doing that for decades,
True - Apple doesn't do technical innovation. They do user experience innovation though.
Ahhhh... excuse me. They put technology to use in new ways.
Added one Mac, add Pagemaker, Adobe fonts and a Laserprinter: Destroyed the job class of "Typesetters" and replaced typesetting machines.
Implemented the mouse as a standard user input device.
Added 24bit color to the computer screen.
Modularized computer components for quick replacement.
Add a Mac and a CD drive: Killed off the floppy drive.
Create a thing called an iPod and iTunes and initiated the decline of the CD music distribution industry.
There are others.
That's pretty darned strong technical innovation, in my book.
We open to see Han Solo, fat, smoking a cigar, watching porn on the TV Wall, his six kids climbing all over him.
The phone rings: It's Luke. Again.
And he wants to borrow the lawnmower. AGAIN.
Good Lord, he has a pension just like Han does - why doesn't he go buy his OWN Darn lawnmower?
See it in theaters in three years....

I'm pretty sure the American Medical Association (made up of doctors) is going to go apeshit over even the suggestion of this.
But of course they will.
Using my Medical Terminology skills, I can translate this "Expanding many prescription medications to OTC interferes with that important relationship without offering any real benefits to improve patients' health or reduce their costs." into this "We'll lose income due to a decrease in billable visits."
Yep, we cut the cable in 2006. I miss a few of the shows, but most were just fluff, anyway. Considering that I ended up watching 'On Demand' most of the time, or one of the Discovery/NG/History channels, well, we've never felt disadvantaged. Well, ok. I do miss the Weather channel.
I don't miss the commercials. I really like not missing the commercials.
Hulu is good. I'd pay a pittance for it - for higher quality and no commercials, maybe a pittance and a half. But certainly no more than my Netflix subscription.
I've gotten quite spoiled on streaming Netflix, and season collections of TV series. Maybe they are a few months late, but frequently there are extra features on the discs that streaming, cable and broadcast just don't provide.
My husband is on a low-carb diet and he's the total opposite of the article. He's lost 75lbs and doesn't have a problem with sluggishness. And now that it's been a year or so, he's not experiencing a need for carbs - much like it was a year or so after I quit smoking and didn't crave them.
The carbs and the fat together, sure, the study is fine. Carbs and fat together, that's bad.
The fat and protein without the carbs, well, the effects that the article promises are just not what we're seeing empirically.
Solid State Rocket Fuel? I think you mean Solid Rocket Fuel. Solid State is an electronics concept.
Problem with Solid Fuel is it doesn't burn on contact with air. Like white phosphorus.
From the article: "Farajallah explained that he invented a device using chemical substances available in Gaza, which burn when mixed and brought into contact with oxygen."
That sounds like a hypergolic fuel, actually. Perhaps like Hydrazine + nitric acid, which is stable but toxic.[/p]

Exactly.

Burger please. Tofu is bad for one's thyroid.
Mac, PC, Linux, got 'em all.

Remember, there really is a Skynet satellite!
Just no. Tofu will destroy your thyroid and grow boobies on men. And never mind low-carb or paleo diets, meat just tastes better.
Maybe they could upload everything onto Archive.org?
Thinking about it a bit, this is where my data posted on LinkedIn is being weaponized against me.
I just closed my LinkedIn account, because of this article.

I went to see a Science Fiction Movie based on a Robert Heinlein work.
My impression was that I was looking at bad SF. It didn't look like satire at the time.
If I'd wanted to see satire, I'd have gone to see The Coneheads.
I prefer Star Trek New Voyages. They've been doing it longer and have a stable of episodes already. Startreknewvoyages dot com
passenger - do you want to restrict them, too?
Yes. I want them to walk.
They're too distracting and won't leave me alone.

Perhaps a smaller sample with GPS locators in the boxes would help identify where the Acts of God made the packages disappear?

Actually, do thirteen months of 28 days each, balancing it back out again.
Then the full moon will be on the same day, making it simpler to barricade against Lycans.

Can cause those very symptoms. Get thee to thy doctor for a UA w/Microscopic.
As for the first issue, you might want to ask Mark O'Hara.

Because he had 58 pills, he was convicted of drug trafficking. If he hadn't had those pills with him, it would have been a misdemeanor.
For the second half, I'll just say "For now, that is."
