It's a cool balloon launch yeah, but joining Elon in outer space is kind of farfetched.
But who knows, after that you might invent the warp drive and embark on a 5 year mission to explore strange new worlds and boldly go where no man has gone before.
of the telephone convo. Comcast like most others of its ilk record all conversations and should be easy enough to get with a court ordered discovery during a lawsuit. Should be a slam dunk case.
Unless this guy wasn't telling the truth and he really did invoke his employer's name while ranting at some poor Comcast employee ("F**k you, do you know who I am? I'm the CXX at YYY!") Then he won't sue.
Then they should release this right away. A lot of people would jump at the chance to be free to do other things during highway driving. I'd love to watch a movie during the 3 hour drive to the ski resort.
And think of an automated RV that drives itself on highways! These things spend like 90% of their time on the road on highways anyways.
If I had read the whole thing I'd probably be dead by now.
Lot of blathering about what's "fair". Wishing for "Climate Justice". Carbon allocation according to need (presumably at the diktat of the author and his friends). The whole thing is just so far out there on the Marxist scale, it would scare even socialists like Nancy Pelosi.
To kill oneself when one has a healthy body is an insult to everyone with aging/ailing bodies who are still fighting to survive. It's an affront to God (if you're religious) or a cowardly waste of life force (if you're not).
Suicide *can* be an honorable exit, but you had better be facing some really serious charges (like plotting a coup against the Emperor, you failed, but if you off yourself then Caesar will leave your family alone). Suiciding just because you lost money on your internet startup is pretty damn lame.
Now if you're old and in failing health, that's a different story. It was said that men of Numenor had the ability, when their time came, to lie down peacefully and join his ancestors. Also the Jedi were known to have this power.
If your code is old enough to be checking for Windows 9x, chances are you're really asking "am I running under NT, or 9x?"
A relatively recent program designed for XP or Vista could be checking for Windows 9x during install, like if (OS.name.StartsWith('Windows 9')) {print "Your computer is too old, please upgrade to XP"}
Why is there no media outrage at the low male attendance at fashion colleges? There's a pretty big one around here called FIDM, and all I saw walking around campus were females.
Shouldn't the diversity crusaders be making waves calling for more male enrollment in fashion?
Or should they STFU and accept the fact that males and females tend to like different things, and short of forcing students into majors they don't like, you're never gonna get perfect diversity?
Not too long ago some tectonic events raised the land under Gibraltar and the Med was cut off from the Atlantic. Turns out, the freshwater flows from rivers into the Med is nowhere near enough to sustain its current size. Without a water connection to the Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea dried up.
It can happen again at any time. The Mediterranean's existence is always in danger.
(and no, carbon emissions and AGW had nothing to do with it)
rabies virus, it could result in the infected person becoming insane and attacking everyone that he sees. But unlike regular rabies, you don't have to get bitten to become infected... Ebola can be transmitted simply by touching someone. This could result in extremely rapid disease transmission, perhaps triggering a worldwide pandemic.
If this happens, millions of Resident Evil fans all over the world will be writhing on the floor in full nerdgasm.
It seemed obvious to me, even when I was young, that lots of practice is important in mastering a skill.
But it also seemed obvious that having innate talent is just as, or more important than practice. Guy with 90 IQ is never gonna be a chess grandmaster or a nuclear physicist, even after 10,000 hours or 100,000 hours.
Or maybe I'm not a genius and these are pretty damn obvious points that should occur to anyone looking without blinders on (e.g. religious liberal belief that every child is a precious flower equally capable of anything as every other child)

Form an evil syndicate and take over the world, of course.
these weren't cybercriminals, just criminals. They physically broke open ATM machines.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Nobody can compete with Francis Underwood! Well you can, but you might die in a mysterious subway accident.

My dog never went to school, maybe that's why he's so curious about everything passing in front of our house.

Launch the mission in autumn. Send bears. Natural organic hibernation to Mars!

Windows: Next Generation
Can be shortened to WiNG
Maybe even a flying wing logo. (man oh man why didn't I become a genius advertising guru instead of a loser IT geek)
And the version after this could be called Windows into Darkness
X-Men and X-Com blow away all of those in coolness. And fun.
