I would watch that cartoon if it were done properly. Unfortunately, I bet the villains will be two dimensional with unrealistically evil intentions, like the polluters in Captain Planet.
I'm rather glad it turned out that way because she is popular at school and I know she won't suffer some of the cruelty my wife did as a child growing up slightly different to the other girls in her class.
I hope that's true, but popular kids can be just as cruel to each other.
I came from the days before they made female looking faces with lipstick and long eyelashes. The basic emoticon-like smiley face could be male or female. The major identifier of gender was the hair. If you wanted a female police officer, take a male one and swap out the hair.
Or maybe you don't. Leave the hat on, and just SAY that is a female officer. What? Can't women wear hats? Gender was left to the kids' imaginations. And isn't fostering imagination what Lego's about?
The way I see it, this move kills creativity and entrenches the preconceptions of how a woman "should" look like more than it would encourage girls to be interested in science.
Agreed. The latest trend for "feminizing" minifigs has been to draw curvy figures in paint on the female bodies. It gives the image of a woman with a skinny body drawn on her T-shirt.
The governments are licking genitals and taking pictures? I believe it. This is already happening in the United States. The NSA is contracting to certain disreputable film studios based out of Los Angeles.
Why go to all that trouble when there are elected officials texting pictures of their privates for free?
We would have found [FTL travel] by now if someone has discovered it in the future.
That assumes future sapient species would be willing to share their time travel tips. Would you let a chimpanzee be in charge of launching a Saturn V rocket?
Well, space is a whole mess of nothing. If nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, no reason it can't expand faster than the speed of light. Also, that's faster than light where "faster" is measured in spacetime. Stretch the spacetime and light travels differently than it did.
Because wages are generally only a fraction of the cost of goods sold, raising wages doesn't result in anywhere near as much of an increase in prices.
But raising wages across the board for all minimu wage workers in an area can raise the prices of goods and services because part of the pricing structure is "what people are willing/able to pay". Gas stations in affluent areas have higher prices. I expect dramatic price increases on food and shelter. Of course they'll blame it on Google busses.
2. None of the people involved has a background in education, child development, psychology, etc.
Like the jackasses who have been steadily ruining education for decades? Children have been learning to read from non-education-specialists for hundreds (if not thousands) of years.
Because your car can only hold so many gallons. If a fuel only cost $0.001 per gallon so filling up a truck would cost only $0.02 to fill, but the imaginary fuel only got 2 MPG, no one would buy it. Having a range of (less than) 40 miles is too limiting.
I remember using phoenix style joysticks for descent with a million buttons. The new descent will be made for consoles, and will lack every good option. It will probably also lack flares.
Knowing the ending of a movie does not make it bad. The concept of Palpatine/Sidious duality with an "I win either way" was good, but unfortunately wasn't implemented fully until the clone wars TV show. Likewise, the tragic downfall of Anakin could have been excellent movie material, even (nay, especially) if you knew the outcome. Instead, we have a Jedi who decides to murder at the drop of a hat when a Sith Lord offers to heal his wife. The alluded-to storyline where Anakin might be the experiment of Darth Plageius (who could create life in the womb of a virgin) was never fleshed out, and could have helped fracture him and define his new persona: "you were Sith from the start". It could have been an epic tragedy, instead, it was a tragic failure.
the people who grow the food you eat need a way to find the best market to sell the food that they grow.
Maybe I don't want them to find the best market. Maybe I'd rather they sell to the market I buy food from. They are the people who grow the food I eat after all.
Forget the perp. That GPS pill bottle has to remain active all the time. So while it's not being stolen, the police are tracking the location of the PHARMACY. 24/7! They never don't know where the pharmacy isn't!
Put those bad puppies in every desktop and server you own. You'll have mad case-mod cred with your friends when they see you lock your screen then "whoop wheep" turn on the alarm with your key ring fob. Bonus points for a remote start or spinners. Hydraulics seem like a great idea, but only if you're totally solid state. Even then, your heat sink needs to be on the smallish side.

Heck, one of my first programs mimicked an insensate child. Here's some of the responses:
And I'm sure it used fewer lines of code.
In a 250 sq foot apartment, you don't even need the IR extenders. The IR will bounce off the walls easily enough.
I propose today to be Fridayday. A day to celebrate Friday.

Do you think T-Mobile will continue that policy once the Sprint purchase of T-Mobil completes?
I doubt it. It's strange that you were modded down for a marginally on-topic question that is a real (and timely) concern.

I enjoy having my steak prepared the same way every time, but I would balk at eating a 100% reproduced steak.
Cue people responding with bad, successful ideas. (Seriously, I'm interested).
Corn Flakes. They were designed to induce chastity. Terrible implementation, but wildly successful product.
It's like a flying segway!

Then also include stickers from popular civil rights lawyers? "Protected by suits"

That's because you've never seen a horse's check book.
I've seen it sometimes switch back to iMessage randomly as if it were testing (and sometimes it won't failover). Not quite foolproof.
Sure, its write up on there websight.
