1. Don't put any RED LEDs in robots. With only blue LEDs, they can't flip the evil bit (This is exaustively demonstrated by that Will Smith movie that wasn't based on Isaac Asimov's I, Robot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343818/ [imdb.com])
Are you telling me that movie was about robots? I could have sworn it was about sneakers and insurance--stuff like that.
Let's just completely ignore any research that shows the negative effects of the "Chronic use of marijuana" and make a big deal about one single study that says it can improve learning memory. Sorry hippies, but the party is over.
I say it's high time to say "f u" to the legal language and make it a requirement that all contracts be brief, to the point and in plain language
The problem with plain language is that it's vague - that's why contracts are long-winded. I could see requiring a definition of all terms that are used in a way that differs substantially from normal parlance. Outside of weird usage, most contracts are just boring.
I've always believed they should be required to provide a plain language version with the original contract, even if the plain language version isn't legaly binding.
I for one will never pay a monthly subscription for a game. Its like those music services where you get unlimited songs, but only while you pay; you stop paying, you lose everything. It doesn't make much sense to me. At $15 dollars a month and $50 upfront cost, it costs almost 400 dollars to play for 2 years. Is WoW really worth that much?
People whose eyes have no red cones can wait for the plain paper hardcover edition, just like blind people wait for the spoken edition.
How would you like it if you lived in a world and you looked up in the sky and all you saw was pizza?
How about instead, this damn city start following federal law and install talking robotic heads at the top of all stop lights which will inform the colorblind: stop, go, beware.

So, will my DVD's stop working when it dies? I just got MacGyver season 3!
On the first day, God said: "Object o = new Object();" and it was good!
On the moon, Slashdot nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with moon rocks!
My lead helmet gives me +6 defense to invasive radio signals!
Too bad I don't have mod points, because that is the most insightful post I have ever read! I almost feel bad hijacking your topic to mention it.
Mountain Dew wont really shrink your nads, but we all know Dr. Thunder is the best.

I spend more than that on beer every month.
WTF?? How does making two buttons look like one, make this more intuitive? Elegant, maybe; intuitive, no fucking way.
When will I get mod points? That is as about as insightful as you can get on this topic
such a good cause too. :|
He showed you his linux! Maybe, he wants to be more than friends. ;)
I'll buy your rock.
Those damn terrorists will stop at nothing to rob us of our freedoms. The terrorists came up with the patriot act, right?
There are easier ways to write a grammatical sentence.
You forgot to mention eliminating a 25lb book bag. 'Course, upside is a lighter bag, downside is less exercise for the kids. Hmmm....
These days, kids are fat enough as it is!
I'm puzzled by the whole hoopla of transparancy. Besides being a 'cool feature', how does it help me in becoming more productive?
Creature comforts don't need to improve your productivity.
