All this is why you turn down the radio when looking for an address in the dark.
Wait, what?!? I have never turned the radio down when looking for an address in the dark. Is that a thing?
Actually it is, though probably not universal. Jeff Foxworthy (clearly an authoritative citation) made a joke about it: "Why do men turn down their radio down when they look for an address?" Difficult pattern recognition - driving in a downpour, looking for signs in the dark - consumes a lot of cognitive resources, and reducing competing sensory input (radio, wife (assuming you are REALLY listening and not just saying 'uh huh, uh huh')) helps.
From your link: "Usage notes: "jive" and "jibe" are frequently used interchangeably in the U.S. to indicate the concept "to agree or accord". However, while one recent dictionary accepts this usage, most sources consider this an error."
So it should be considered optional for Grammar Nazi's to point out.
Cognitive load. Experienced drivers dont spend much cognitive load to drive in normal conditions. Listening to music, not much. Listening to someone talking, lots. Driving fast, heavy traffic, navigating new routes, and poor conditions consume significantly higher load. All this is why you turn down the radio when looking for an address in the dark. It also makes an excellent excuse to tell the wife and kids to shut up ("Hey put a sock in it, I've never walked this way to the fridge before").
He meant "the land of the free homes". Or is it "home of the land-free braves"? Im pretty sure there is a housing bubble and/or American Indian joke in there somewhere.
A more practical scenario is Oath of Fealty by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle (no surprise), where a utopian arcology is built adjacent to a dystopian urban slum. Their conclusion was that the arcology can only be successful when both benefit, despite the perceived unfairness. The practical concepts of Elysium are ridiculous, its a thinly veiled metaphor to make a political statement about rich people being evil and the poor deserving unlimited free health care. Sound like any administration we know?
Silly question! Holographic projections with resistive force fields for feedback. Saw them on TV. Im pretty sure they use green zero-point energy somehow.
It was released so quietly 5 1/2 years ago that no one cared. But form a new startup to use this old abandoned unsupported and extremely limited data, do some slashvertising, and... oops no one cares.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul...
I assumed 'pirateat40' is a reference to Jimmy Buffett "A Pirate Looks At 40". The line "Made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast" probably applies to Shavers.
I didnt buy the high power ones, but I admit I didnt spend a lot on either set. Some of it was they just didnt last (battery, quality, charge, ruggedness) but also I just dont like the look and the light dispersal pattern. Could be the shape of the walk isnt conducive. A few 20W halogens angled up into trees looks so much better and provides (I think) better ambient light. If you have a model number or link to something that worked well for you I'd take a look though. Thanks!

Investigated? He funded the research!
So you're saying its now a white flag? How freaking appropriate.
When all you do is watch, you also quit doing anything. That'sa shatload of people doing nothing.
killing machines ... that can model human thought

"supersoldier," in a way that will compromise the long term health or well being of he human being.
I think the idea is to compromise the health of the other human being.
Wait, there's a difference between governments and corporations??
Showed up in Wikipedia around June 2012, references a draft specification from June 11 2012. So yeah its been around for over a year.
You can probably get one cheaper at the Estate Sale
It *is* practical, if you are a narcissistic, sociopathic, self-anointed demigod, bent on showering the world with your Putin-esque, machismo mojo.
So, for politicians, CEO's and actors?
Sure! Please forward your name, social security number, and bank information and I'll have the funds transferred to, er, from Nigeria immediately.

Mount them backwards and use them as keyboard shelves. The guts may be worthless but metal is metal.
Dont get me started on the holodeck - anyone that didnt immediately think of the pr0n potential knows nothing about people.

Meh. You say "criminal" I say "profitable", just semantics.

The latter two, what would you replace them with?

No problem. I'll need your name, address, social security number, and bank information to get the transfer from Nigeria going.
Yet investing in something that *depends* on the stupidity of others is probably a good strategy.
