As researchers in this field, we have heard the expression "Fusion is 50 years away and always will be" more times than we would like to admit. The implication of this statement is that no real progress has been made in the field, which is simply not true!
True dat. The expression is now "Fusion is 49 years away"
Hey, hey, I tease. They're big boys with big toys and can take it.
I know they are hated, too, but I love the Fry's by my work over any Best Buy. Still have individual electronic parts. An entire aisle of just motherboards on one side and cases on the other. Porn aisle displayed proudly front and center. There's a corner with multimeters and oscilloscopes.
And they route everyone in line past about 1200 feet of last minute impulse snack items. I know that's usually seen as an underhanded technique, but it's so over the top at Fry's it achieves awesomeness.
The one near me was the opposite. They scuttled like roaches in the light. If you did manage to find a living human, the depth of their knowledge was, yes, the big glowy things are televisions and, yes, you can buy one.
The ST series could have been nice, but they made it and... did nothing. They never evolved it anywhere. Say what you will about the current OS players, but at least things are always evolving and growing as they duke it out.
I had an ST with the little box by David Small that turned it into a Mac. I used that for a year and then said WhyTF am I bothering with this hybrid monster and just got a Mac IIsi. I was pursuing my Master's degree at the time at USC, and they had amazing discounts for students an Apple stuff. Actually, on all stuff. I got Photoshop at 80% off.
The screens will display "local neighborhood information, including lists of nearby restaurants, store sales in the area, traffic updates, landmark information and safety alerts — in multiple languages.'
My goodness, that will be *very* nice for the hour they last before being broken, stolen, covered in graffiti and/or soaked with urine.
There was one like that for the first Bush. The story was that he was in a supermarket and was amazed at the bar code scanners (which had been around for a while) and so he was out of touch. Turns out he was at a demo of a new scanner at a convention that could read really mangled bar codes. If anyone cares, snopes has the details.
My only question is WTF happened to that scanner? My state of the art supermarket's scanners still crap out with even slight crumples in the code.

Yeah! And it's totally correlated with that gauge thing! Weird!
Either a TARDIS arriving sound or warp engine.
BTW, there's a gauge on most cars that tell you how fast it's going. Just tossin that out there FYI.
...um... yay? I guess?
It's about 24 feet of subway in Los Angeles, or a mile of above ground high speed (some day) rail connecting two ghost towns.

I saw something. Might have been a phoenix down.
Can we all just admit NOW that the PS4 was a failure?
Psst! Doctor! Too early!

The mod system really needs error bars.

Well, I'm in the libertarian camp on drugs. ;-)
Oh, I grant that point, but it's still better than sitting in a lab staring at the wall.
How could this happen?
The people in charge don't give a shit.
Next silly question.

'It's hard to know what's causing the low repurchase rate.
You could try, oh, maybe, *asking* them why not?

I know you say that to get a rise of out Christians,
Actually, no, I didn't, as shown by my comments above how Jesus != zombie, IMHO.
Unless you meant the Celestia part because some evangelicals consider unicorns evil.
Not in god mode, no.
Weren't the faith healers using wireless audio decades ago so assistants could feed them information about the people they were "healing?"
I think we're misusing the word zombie here.
It's my understanding that a resurrection is a complete respawn with original stats.
I'm hoping you aren't a statistician.
Wait, which religion has a zombie god? That sounds awesome! I might convert from Celestia worship for that.

While I agree that the "great love" stuff is nauseating hyperbole
Am I the only one who finds it flat out creepy? It has an evangelical taint to it.
I was well connected to the people who matter to me before Google. I must be a wizard or something.
