I was never an Ayn Rand fan, but she nailed that one. I leave it others to argue whether it was actual prescience or the "stopped clock" effect.
Heck, as much as I loved it, I'd like to see someone reboot Reboot. Vastly better CGI today, and lots more fodder for the silly puns and inside jokes. Having the characters show up in a casual game would be awesome.
Enzo: We do what now? Bob: You click the cow. Dot:...and? Bob: I think that's it. Enzo: How do we beat the user? Bob: I think the user... is the cow. Dot: So how do we end the game and get out of here? Bob: I... um... ah! Glitch! Captive bolt pistol! Cow: Zoinks!
I have mixed feelings on the ST reboot, but I have to admit destroying Vulcan was pretty ballsy, and Quinto was a good Spock.
A fun thing to do would be, if they know they are doing the final film of the new canon, have them stop the villain of the first film from going back in time, and the last scene is a clip from ST-TOS, the original time line having reasserted itself.:)
you can always get a racetrack-ready Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid, which has a single energy-storage flywheel that can give you a 160 HP burst of power when you need a little extra oomph.
But you won't find me protesting. I'm of the opinion that this is how we should've handled the "war on terror" all along - as more of a police action against individuals and groups, because you can't wage war on an idea.
Soon after 9/11, there was a politician or maybe someone in the military who talked about how the game was afoot against terrorists globally now, and we and our allies come out of the night without warning and bring the terror back to them. They'd never know when or where the next strike was coming from. A highly focused and covert effort was implied. Terrorist training camps up and running one day would be graveyards by the morning, and you wouldn't even know who exactly did it.
And then, well, things went the way they did. I can't even find the quote in web search.
There have been several informative studies which have shows that an increase of carbon dioxide intake (through soda) leads to an increase in obesity, diabetes and overall ill-health.
I'm sure the high sugar content has nothing to do with it.
Yeah, but I'm an engineer, and a good one. Even if I decide something can't be done, if enough people repeat that back to me, I start to think, well, wait a minute... maybe it can...:) But at the moment I got nothin'. What few nascent ideas I have eventually need sizable funding. I'd rather find someone like minded with a more.... marketable past, and just run the campaign. I'd take a crack at that tomorrow if someone offered.

One vote for stopped clock.

Oh, stuff it. Some day you purists will learn that the street finds its own uses for things, and that it's OK to do so.

Actually, it's judo. It takes the power of the streisand effect and uses it against itself. Masses will come to the twitter, and see the *apologies*.
Seriously? Here? If you say so.
These days a fetus is lucky to even have a crack at life.
Or a life of crack.

Thank you!

I'm always willing to give a reboot a chance.

You might be right. I just remember it coming to a real head in the 90s.
If you could herd a hundred cats,
Well, now, *there's* your problem.
Are you taking the Prius battery into account?
What do cost calculations of projects have to do with an understanding of Go?
Nothing. It's one of those things people say because they think it makes them sound smart.
It's like how MBAs in the 1990s made sure they were seen reading Tzu's The Art Of War.

Disco Stu would like to know more of this "radiation boogieman".
It's still empty calories to process.
8 fps, and that's on an older work laptop without a fancy graphics card and loaded with lots of crap in the background.
So just hacking into a system would NOT merit an armed response. Might merit a retaliation in kind, however.
Oh for pity's sake, don't confuse the kiddies with facts. They need to go through their little "rebel army" phase.

And your proof is?
Hey, he knows what he knows!
You have to draw a reasonable line somewhere.
Anything not encased in a Slaver stasis field can be considered vulnerable.
GITMO will soon be filled to capacity with chan-tards perhaps?
Well, damn, you just changed my mind. I now *support* the Pentagon on this. :-)

So is this a call to belch more?
My 8 year old Airport base station dying, that's what killed it.
You don't say Canada is a Member State of America do you?
We tried, but now Canada won't return our calls. I thought the dinner went well. Probably needed flowers as well.
