Oh wait, I just noticed his "degrees" are all honorary degrees from no-name colleges. I guess he didn't have generous committees after all (or any committees at all, for that matter). Now if you'll excuse me, I have an honorary badge that I got from the cops when I was a kid--and somewhere there is a crime to stop.
Oh, bullshit. The "singularity" isn't happening is anything close to an exponential manner. Technological advances in many fields have essentially stagnated in recent decades (transportation, space travel, power generation, etc.). In other fields, we are progressing, but hardly at an "exponential" rate (medicine, biology, etc.). Communications is the only field that has progress at anything close to an exponential rate over the last few decades.
We're not even CLOSE to anything resembling some magical singularity.
Actually, I don't particularly like either party (I'm a Jesse Ventura man, myself). But I definitely don't want to waste another minute in that abomination of a war in Iraq. And McCain has stated unequivocally that he WILL NOT LEAVE until we achieve victory. Since victory is unachievable in Iraq, this means 4-8 more years in Iraq if McCain wins.
Better tell your Clinton friends to take a LONG HARD LOOK at the alternative. 4-8 more years of Iraq, world hatred, and the continuing decline of the economy is a BIG price just to pay for a little spite.
Hillary (like Bill) is hyper-ambitious and a sore loser. Right now she's still steaming and trying to plot a new course for the only person she ever cared about in this election (herself). She'll be back in a new form soon enough (no doubt trying to strong-arm her way into the VP spot).
Further reports indicate that communication with the Penn State research station that unearthed the bacteria broke off shortly after the discovery. Another nearby research station is planning an expedition to the site, however, after discovering one of the Penn State sled dogs wandering into their camp.
"This is a great discovery. There is nothing at all to worry about." said the oddly-behaving scientist who discovered the sled dog.
Sure it cost his shareholders billions, sure he's going to lose his job and be sued into oblivion for gross mismanagement, sure he will be lucky to make it out of the shareholder's meeting without being tarred and feathered. But the important thing is that he stood up to Bill Gates, stuck out his tongue, and yelled "I DON'T LIKE YOU!"
Yes, because acknowledging something that's obvious to anyone who isn't deaf, dumb, and blind--and is a long-standing Hollywood joke--makes one a racist, homophobe, anti-semite and whatever other politically correct curse word I can make up on the fly (oh wait, I forgot misogynist and ageist). It's all part of my campaign to restart the Holocaust by acknowledging that most of the producers and studio heads in Hollywood are Jewish. Hollywood, it turns out, is a great place to put in the ovens.
Yes, I'm a Nazi because I point out that Hollywood is dominated (and has been from it's creation) by Jewish producers, writers, and studio heads. What a startling revelation!
I myself moved into the glorious world of film promotion after advancing through the ranks. My first job was as a hooker cleaner for John Landis. Oh, how I miss those simpler times.
And the only credit he deserves on "Sling Blade" is "recognizing the feature film potential of something that had already been done as a play and short film years earlier." It was nice that he was able to help Thornton secure some money from Miramax for it, but "Sling Blade" belongs ENTIRELY to Thornton and always did.
In the government's defense, the helicopters are actually alien craft, not CIA. And if you would stop being such a big pussy about the anal probe, they could finish their job and go away.
Slashdot can't be shut down. The software behind it became self-aware years ago. It sneaks around on the internet and hides out on various servers. "Commander Taco" is, in fact, just an alias for the software, which killed the real Commander Taco in 2001 (rumor has it that his body is hidden deep within the steam tunnels of Redmond Washington, dressed in clothing that was already out of style even then).
It's basically only a matter of time before the fear-mongers and political demagogues in the U.S. and elsewhere outlaw any form of encryption that doesn't include a backdoor for the NSA and other "trusted" government agencies. There has already been evidence of commercial encrytption (such as Windows encryption) including such backdoors. And when the commercial companies all cave, how long do you think it will be before the government comes after the open source projects too?

That many degrees and he's still stupid enough to think he can accurately predict the future? He must have had some very generous committees.
And that is why you fail.
Actually, having the grand wizard of the KKK speak at E3 would at least liven things up a bit. It's become a damn snore-fest recently.
Depends on the audience he's addressing.
Obama will get us out of Iraq. But he's not a mindless pacifist (no reasonable leader ever should be). There's a big difference.
We're not even CLOSE to anything resembling some magical singularity.
I hate naysayers such as you. Now if you'll excuse me, my robotic butler is informing me that my space elevator car to moonbase 23 has arrived.

I think George W. has pretty much ended the Bush legacy. It will be a long time before voters can even stomach the thought of another of his ilk.

No, they were clean when they went in. I had to clean them AFTERWARDS.

Because I really don't want to waste my time even trying if I have to throw in some fake Yiddish colloquialisms to even get my calls returned.
Like most Americans since the 80's, I've always assumed I would be killed by Keifer Sutherland one day anyway.
No, it means that you don't trust either party.
