I'm sure the tattoo / piercing shops are all over this, we have seen people that have had "horns" implanted in their scalp.
But I'm sorry, when I need a joint implant or some other othapeadic thing in my body to function, I'm not interested in some home-brew design executed on some 3D printer "god knows where".
RFID implants aside, just about all the other ideas scare the hell out of me. There *will* be a down side, and when your implant goes south, do you plan on taking some random tattoo joint to court to pay for the loss of whatever it is you lose?
These people do not carry malpractice insurence, and it's unlikly they could get it.
Is Vice now a part of Dice Holdings? Anyway, this sort of thing is nothing new, been around forever for toy Paranoid Crowd. Seriously, when civilization falls, most people will not be too much interested in if they have stocked up on enough Crystal champage and Cohebas.
Most people who get into computers and programming are naturally introverted.
This is a stereotype, and not really true.
On the other hand, it's important to understand that men and woman at NOT the same, and they may have different ideas about what they want to do in life.
The idea that in every field, we must have 50/50 is simply stupid.
It's a movie > Maybe a fun movie, but a movie. Nothing in it real, and the big stuff is not even remotely possible, or for that matter, what it may be like if insanity prevails and we trip to Mars. It's fun for engineers to traipse off into fantasy with movie directors, but most of the time it's just that, fantasy, like Doctor Who...
bottled water is now on track to overtake soda as the largest beverage category in two years.
Everyone should note that for the most part bottled water is just "tap water" that has been filtered. At $1 plus a bottle (plus the almost always not recycled plastic bottle), why don't people just get a Britta filter for home or office? Filtered tap water is now more expensive than soda!
No, that's not what happened, and you know it. The drone in question had a software failure and landed in Iranian territory. Automatic systems on the drone destroyed all of the software, and some of the hardware.
Iranian chest thumping about this incident is NOT born out by these things called facts. You will also note that the Iranian claim to have reverse engineered this drone has not resulted in a similar Iranian drone.
It's really not that easy. The combination of space constraints and aerodynamic engineering makes it a little more complicated than bolting a weight on. This is simply a routine engineering issue that will be solved the same way as all issues found in testing. Nothing to see, please move along.
Are you aware that the US Air Force has had female combat pilots for a number of years? Did you know that these female pilots have participated in many real world missions? Did you know that at McChord AFO (JBLM-Lewis McChord Field) that we have quite a few female C17 pilots (yes, I know, not a fighter, I work here)? Gender is no longer a bar to pilot status in ANY US Air Force air frame.
all of your ebooks will be stored in amazon's cloud. why would they be on the SD card?
Because when I'm in the Out Back and want to read, there isn't a cell tower around? Because my carrier has a shitty data plan, I'm poor, and want to access the items I presumably purchased?
I doubt professional scientists think their work is "fun".
My father was a computer scientist and oceanographer for 40 years and always marveled at the fact that people would pay him to do what he would gladly do for free. He had quite a bit of fun.
Most kids these days stay up until 10, 11 and even midnight. That's not the way it used to be, but parents don't parent anymore. Schools don't even give homework anymore - parents would scream "You're breaking into my special little child's ME time"...
they'll need it to thwart the invasion of Europe 2015 (happening now).
There is a great push for the world and especially Europe to accept without question waves of refugees. This, however, will not solve the problem of why these people are fleeing their countries. Indeed, it will only allow the political / religious forces that are the cause of this mass exodus to take permanent root.
Reminds me a little of the proboscis they bolt to the front of some heavy armament today to deal with land mines and such, and in a slightly different way, the cages they build around Strikers to deal with RPGs...

Gartner predicted the fall of Linux during the SCO days...
And let's not forget the flying cars.
Can it be box trained?
Paris Hilton already has an order in to add one of these to her collection of purse pets.
Let's just not do it. There is no real reason to send humans to Mars.
Now, establishing a real and long term presence on the Moon has real actual benefits.
I always think of Space 1999...

Along with that, I think somebody should point out that fuit juice is almost as bad as soda.
I see you drink Kool-Aid.

Why, IRAN managed to hijack a US drone...

The airforce just banned women from f-35 flights without being directly gender discrimitory .
Women are not banned from the F-35. ALL PEOPLE under 136 pounds are.
This is an engineering issue that will be solved in due course, like all complex engineering issues.

This will NOT happen. As well, it will be many many many years before man sets foot on Mars (lack of compelling reasons, money, technology...)
Uber is going down on so many governmental levels. Competing with Uber? Competing to be knocked down and told to go away.

What, exactly, is useful about memorizing facts, in a world where any fact you want is at your fingertips on demand?
New facts are built on a foundation of old facts, and if you don't know them, the new facts will not get built.

How Can NASA's Road To Mars Be Made More Affordable?
By not sending people when there is no compelling reason to.

Sure, it's old technology, old engineering. But so is ENIAC...
