Robots probably cost a lot less in the long run. Think of the industrial horse farms that would be needed to supply the military. A small assembly line could crank out thousands of these a month.
Plus, if it breaks a leg, you don't have to waste the ammo to shoot it.
"Of course, I would fucking hope the average person has saved enough money to cover one month's worth of expenses just for an emergency."
ROFL. You seem to be seriously out of touch with "average". The AVERAGE person lives paycheck to paycheck and can't pay every bill every month, the AVERAGE person knows how far behind you have to be with company x before they shut off service.
Well, then the AVERAGE person should cut back so they can live within their means, or get a better job.
Actually, folks have been asking for a redesign for a long time. However, it mostly centered around being able to use unicode and being able to go back and edit posts. I haven't seen comments on either of those requested changes.
Well, I looked at the new design, and my thought is that I'm going to miss Slashdot. Not only did I find it awful to look at, when I tried to click on the "we'd like your thoughts on it, too." link to let/. know, it tried to open Outlook, which I never use and will never use. Anyone who expects me to use Outlook is so out of touch that there seems no point in telling them not to fix something that isn't broken.
All Slashdot is doing is using a mailto: link. It's your own computer that's telling you to use Outlook to open it, not Slashdot.
In essence, each unit of currency loaned into existence causes inflation by increasing the money supply ("printing money") and by increasing the amount of money owed (monetary demand to pay off the interest).
Maybe it does cause inflation, and maybe it doesn't. The key factor here is that currency is the medium of exchange of wealth (goods and services). If the interest rate is less than the growth of wealth, you get a situation where the goods per dollar rises - deflation. If the interest rate is higher than the growth of wealth, you get a situation where the goods per dollar falls - inflation.
Speaking as someone who has never owned, nor been inside a convertible, I would assume that top up means doors locked also. I imagine that assumption would be fairly common among the general population. So, it would still be slash and grab. I would even expect the occasional lithoclavic or concrete key access (brick/rock through the window). Now, maybe the kind of people who burgle cars know to check the doors to see if they are unlocked.
I don't know how the airlines work, but I could picture a pilot making several flights in a day, on different planes, instead of there-and-back-again journeys. Instead of doing New York to Chicago, then turning around and doing Chicago to New York, a pilot could do New York to Chicago, Chicago to Salt Lake, Salt Lake to Los Angeles, to Dallas, to Atlanta, to New York; sometimes doing training flights as a co-pilot, sometimes as the main pilot.
In such a case it would be helpful if the pilot had a personal device so that she could maintain an itinerary, study up on the planes she's going to be flying during her layovers, etc, rather than one that had to be turned in at the end of the flight. Mind you, the update/charge/clean concept has much merit as well.
They should have named it Phoenix. Reading from The Fancy Article: "Cygnus spacecraft are designed to burn up in Earth's atmosphere at the end of their missions." It may go up all strong and regal, but it comes back as ashes.
Sadly, it does nothing to prevent another planeful from taking off. You need to target the airport that is allowing them to get off the ground in the first place: the patent system.
Ball play? It hasn't landed me any jobs, nor made it easier to handle real life. Imagine if all the money spent on sports facilities and coaches had gone to better libraries, labs and teachers...
How would you classify your fitness level compared to others in your line of work?
But the United States was supposed to be different to the hundreds of abusive governments that had preceded it.
And who believed that?
The bulk of everyone who immigrated to the US: the ones fleeing persecution from their own governments, like the Cubans who float or swim across to Florida; idealistic people who read the Declaration of Independence; the soldiers who volunteered to fight Hitler. In fact, I'd say that it was the prevailing attitude of the bulk of the country right up until Kennedy was shot.
I ran a website with comments before. If it were debate, or trolls, I might have left it up. However, 99.9% of the comments were knock-off drug ads, even with a captcha system. I shut down the comments too.

It looks like a cheap ass blog...
It looks like a cheap what now?

What a modest proposal.
Just like the proposal to institute "daylight saving" time... and we all know how that joke turned out.

Ironic that the Swiss are doing this, one of the few landlocked countries in the world.
Ah! That would account for the absence of the Swiss Navy Knife.
I like the picture of the guy hanging off the robot as it hangs on the underside of a horizontal I-beam. Reminds me of the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXZv2KZKCCo>old krazy-Glue commercial.
You don't dare to call it intelligent design, do you?
Who're you callin' intelligent?

This actually looks really unusable

You can't do that. School boards will never allow it. Peanut butter kills five year olds.

Wayback machine?
Oh, I noticed. But I played a mean game of Ballblaster back in the day, so I'm used to moving goalposts.

Don't care about Excel, but OneNote is why I'd buy it
Also available for...android phone
A free Microsoft account is required to use OneNote for Android phones
Sigh! Yet another tracking app. I wish the open source community would make a OneNote replacement.
How exactly is Gnome remotely like either OS X or Windows other than at some extremely superficial level?
All most people see is the superficial level. That's the entire point of a desktop/GUI.
