I can see valid points in there but in general I disagree.
1. You completely agree that it's only free if your time is worth nothing. That's a moot point, since most people will have some time that's "worthless". It shouldn't take more than "3-4" hours to build a PC, if you don't have that much free time in the week I don't envy you regardless of how valuable your time is.
2. Yes the AC comment was stupid. However,
It was great back then because of the sense of awe, accomplishment and discovery, but when it comes to usability and ROI, those times blow
Reading that I’m left thinking that you’re a bit jaded on the subject (forgive me if I’m wrong). It’s not difficult to build a computer nowadays, and I find it all a little boring now myself, but I would still recommend that any “young guns” who have an interest in computers should build or at least open one and have a look inside.
Graphics card companies always try to outperform their competitors. You can do that on price only, but no one is going to buy a new card that's exactly as powerful as the one you already have only cheaper. For that reason I suspect the current trend to continue.
I don’t fully agree with you. The aim is to create a humanoid robot, and that goal necessitates the solving of several problems of modern AI. This will take a long time (and ASIMO may not be the platform to do it), but long before then, much of what they learn in the process will find its way into practical products.
I don’t like your analogy. It compares communication between people to the issuing of commands to a phone, I don’t see how that clarifies anything. It also appears to be somewhat of a straw man.
Your reply to my post attacks the man, not the argument. That makes you about as valuable to/. as the troll you replied to in the first place.
I feel my inner geek die a little more every time I see a post like yours modded up. Drivel is not an appropriate response to flamebait, the site has moderators to take care of that. You should focus your energy in responding to posts that merit or warrant response. BTW
Do you intentionally only communicate between other people using morse code via hand signals
I haven't a clue on the numbers but I suspect you'd need to dig something like this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir_mine only much bigger to have any hope of draining the pressure. Not sure anyone is going to pay that kind of bear tax.
I'm sure it could be done, but it wouldn't be trivial. For cabins of a reasonable size, I'm thinking something like a 737, a single parachute would probably not be feasible for size reasons (I'm just guessing here though), and with multiple parachutes it would have to get more complicated. In the end it would be risk versus reward. Cost of development would be very high assuming you actually wanted to test it, and it wouldn't instill confidence in people to know that hey we felt an accident was so probably that we spent all this money on parachutes.
hmm, you could put some radioactive waste in the center of a huge balloon. As the air in the balloon heated up you would let air out of the balloon until the pressure stabilized and lift was achieved.
Sugar free candy isn't really candy though, so it's difficult to do a fair control that way. My nephew might have just gone bleck horrible candy. I was of course half joking before, although his party was real and he did go nuts during it. He lay down on the floor and span in circles after eating cake, something he didn't do even when opening presents. But I can't imagine he would have gone as crazy if we'd just sneaked loads of sugar into his regular food on a quiet day. So I figure it's a myth, but that doesn't necessary change the fact that when you give candy to a kid he's likely to go a bit crazy.
I conducted an experiment on this very topic at my 3 year nephew’s birthday party. After administering the sugar he went nuts. I didn’t use a very large sample set but the results were fairly conclusive none the less.

Where can you buy this kinky American freedom armor?

They're not so good with stairs though.
I'm genuinely impressed, that's faster than a lot of people are able to jog at.
So you're suggesting God has bad aim?
In space, no one can hear your woosh
You've attacked the man again, and even raised me another straw man, you are no my foe hehe.

A phone is a tool, it is not “people”.
I'm certain it is possible, but you trivialise the problem so much you appear to be a troll...

The books won't weigh much if they've been digitised, especially if you zip them.
I won't argue what he will or won't be if he doesn't kowtow to you, but your post is far more trollish.
I guess the answer to has it been invented yet is always yes, here's the link

I'm going to print the worlds smallest violin and play it just for you, troll.
I wonder then has anyone patented designer hermit shells for pets, it seems like the logical next step.

I've just gotten a image of this huge airship on fire with an even bigger parachute dragging it upwards under the updraft from the fire.
It was a homemade Thomas the Tank Engine cake, powerful stuff.
