Oddly, by 'mailing-in' his voice over Ford nailed the exact inflection needed to make Deckard sound disconnected and dispassionate. He hated the work and did it to satisfy his end of his contract, exactly what his character was doing.

You can't really blame the governments for their response. Most agencies are only authorized to punish citizens, not ask them for help.
Remember the Air Force Axiom; when the only tool you have is a multi-warhead thermo-nuclear ICBM, all your problems look like the Soviets invading West Germany.
One problem here might be that the researches looked at people who survived gaining x-pounds as though they had always weighed x-pounds. Between my twenties and forties I gained about forty pounds. I had a heart attack due to the imbalance between my "good" cholesterol and my "bad" cholesterol. I would not have had the heart attack if I had eaten low-fat foods and exercised regularly. a good diet and exercise program would also keep me from being obese as a side effect. Looking at people who are obese as if they were born that way is wrong. For example, if someone can survive gaining enough weight to make them obese then they do not have, for one thing, a genetic predisposition towards a cholesterol imbalance.
[T]hat will be a huge step for the industry, considering that not so long ago supercomputers filled up enormous rooms or even entire buildings. Every freakin' time.
This does not need to be censorship. It could be that the proposed law simply needs to be tweaked to define which sort of blogs need oversight. As the lines between online magazines/newspapers and blogs blurs it becomes important to define the new criteria of what is and is not a "trusted" new source. Although the proposed law seems to attack all blogs, I think it could be tweaked to define a certain type of blog that fits the definition of a news source rather than an opinion source.
The simplest solution is usually short-sightedness or fuzzy thinking rather than an evil plot.
The dangers of nuclear science are more to do with mismanagement and a lazy operating culture--which are thankfully not fundamental physical issues but rather human ones that can potentially be fixed. An optimist. How quaint. I, as a pessimist, prefer to believe the readily available and observable facts that those problems can't be engineered out of any system to the point that it becomes fool proof. I'm not saying we shouldn't do all we can to move to nuclear power, I'm just saying it will be very risky no matter what we do.
Really don't know what design world you live in, but around the big old (and I do mean OLD) world of printing, where desktop publishing first started, most designers/prepress/premedia/editing/monkeys use OS X, not PCs. PCs are reserved for sales/customer service/accounting/shop floor/IT.
That may be the real reason Adobe wants to migrate apps. Running code on OS X and Windows (and Linux, too) would be much easier if the apps were web based rather than proprietary.
Naw! What you REALLY want to know is HOW MS will license the products. MS wouldn't bother to buy the companies if it could just release the open source product under a proprietary license, now would it.

For those of you that don't get the joke Hi. You must be new here. This is the updated humor-free Slashdot where everything is deadly serious and irony will get you modded down.
But, good luck with that whole "joke" thing, whatever that means.
Not news for nerds. News for economists, maybe. And I guess you could call economists nerds, sort of, but not in the IT way. So, no, not news for nerds.
Stuff that matters? Yeah, I guess, sort of. But not from an IT perspective, or even the persective of someone who is more concerned about computers than money.
The Internet still seems to regard censorship as damage and route around it. Still? Like censorship has been embraced by the rest of the world and the backwards hicks on the internet haven't caught up yet.
Gosh, you're so right. This isn't a Republican issue. How could we ever place any blame there? We should all blame the, er, um, someone else. Because BLAMING someone will fix the f**king system.
Baaaa. Baaaaa.
Just stand in the corner and the powers that be be over to sheer you later.
Its official. The US of A is now an Official Police State (TM). Soon you will all be given your Federal IDs and fingerprinted at birth. This will stop the terrorists.
That's right you sheep, just stand there and take it.
Exactly, but I would argue that two of your examples are skewed.
1) The demand for tea did not in fact result in the tea tax being so prominent in American text books. In fact the tea tax is mentioned because the wealthy land owners of the British colonies (heareafter called "the Founding Fathers") wanted to pass the tax THEMSELVES (to pay for a war they funded) and the King wouldn't let them. This lead to several pointless "declarations" and finally a small war. It is always about money.
2) No one invaded any country to sell tea. Yes tea was sold but but the real money in China was in opium. Ditto India, by the way. Propaganda has been around for a loooooooong time.
So, tea was important but coffee breaks weren't very common - or thermoses or facilities to boil water in mills and factories. Unless you have the workers chewing the tea I can't see that they would have much of a chance to consume it until they dragged their weary bones home to sleep on their straw beds. And then it would just keep them up.
But if a chip can filter content on the internet/cell phone/whatever based on some settings then it can be made to record that content and possibly where it came from and what (or who) filtered it.

Thank you, asshat. I do in fact know ALL of this because it was verified by my cardiologist.
Go play doctor with people who know less than you, if you can find one.

Apparently you've never been to a Taco Bell.
Yeah, sure. Make fun of the poor Americans and their so-so educational system.

I think the first metaphor is perfectly accurate, provided you image the haystack to be the size of the known universe.

Hey, I want an electric car from an American manufacturer (like GM) and I want it to be in its third generation by now.
Too bad for me, huh?
