    to be fair, NASA is sitting about where NASA was 50 years ago. their idea of advancement now is a rocket just about as powerful as the Saturn V was.

    it's likely that religion is so successful because it deals with arseholes effectively.

    reason and empathy doesn't cut with some people, and the fear of being fucked up for eternity by a malevolent power that sees your every move can be a good substitute for reason and empathy, at least in these cases.

    of course, the rest of this religion stuff is not much use.

    to be honest, having a 2 month old at home during the christmas rush is more than a little stressful.

    this guy's biggest problem is anger management. even if he read back his emails to himself with his "douchebag filter" enabled, this would not be a problem.

    the fact that he can type up such incoherent rage to a customer and actually hit "send" amazes me. he needs a punching bag in the office or something.

    true dat. as much as i hate to say it, LV is barking up very much the wrong tree in this case.

    let's save our righteous anger for when WB actually do something wrong, or we'll all look like idiots.

    hence the engineers creating designs which are redundant enough to survive mediocrity.

    i am in the film industry, and the only reason this hasn't come out yet is that Michael Bay is too busy. ...btw, there's an anime called "Steins;Gate" that has plenty of irrational LHC fears in it.

    even if MS wrote the software, it'd definitely be well in the top 2 percentile as far as driving skills go.

    i think you, like the USPTO, have confused "invented" with "implemented".

    it's the implementation of a blindingly obvious idea. it's not (or should not be) patentable in any way.

    i believe word processing software does this with spell checkers.

    the first example of a realtime spell checker i encountered in 1997 with MS Word.

    autofill has been in all browsers since about that time as well.

    google does the same as you type into the search box.

    Apple are full of the worst kind of shit in this case.
