So, a rich guy in his early 40's has a clone made, lobotomized, grown to teenage years using electrical stimulation of muscles to keep it from wasting away, then has his head put on it when his ticker starts to give out in his late 50's... it would take a couple years of rehab to get the new body up to speed but if you don't have a family history of Alzheimer's or other mental degradation, this might really be viable*...
*this option not available to people that don't own legislators...
From TFA: "Engineers later confessed that system resets had occurred during pre-flight tests. They put these down to a hardware glitch and returned to focusing on the mission-critical landing software"
Very surprised by this... even if a hardware glitch, wouldn't you want to track that down before launch? Especially since in the harsh space environment (bit flops even with hardened RAM/CPU), you want your hardware to be as reliable as possible.
Perhaps they were thinking about that sweet sweet mileage charge for a service call?
Maybe it should be Motorola, Solutions? Actually, I'm betting this was a failure at the local level, a couple of techs or more likely a middle manager that spreads their people too thin...
I'm wondering why there are still any unsolved major crimes.
Movies have taught the master criminals to MAKE SURE James Bond is dead before doing a 5 minute monolog about their dastardly plan... Also to avoid the use of highly flammable stuff when constructing a secret lair.
They're still working on that small issue of knowing only "where exactly the data is" or "what the data is"... on the plus side all you need do to flip a bit is observe it (but beware of infinite recursion). Personally I'm looking forward to the "Schrodinger Class" of processor... in spite of the strict No Refunds policy for open boxes.
Kirk: Scotty, the Penis Enlargement ads are overwhelming the system, we need more power! Scotty: Captain, I'm giving you all we've got! We even added Viagra to the Di-lithium crystals but now they're poking holes in the containment vessel! Oh, If only someone had not answered that ad for Hot Green Babes! Kirk: Err... yes... a mystery...
I'd like to get more information about these worlds before I die. Also, I'd like to know if I would really get my own planet if I went "Full Mormon" so I can prepare accordingly.
I too have questions. I need to know if high speed internet is available (tcp over warp?)... although with a bunch of wives I could just stage my own girl on girl action...
The first thought I had... rocket fuel! I live close enough to the old PEPCON site that we could smell it in the air, fortunately not so close as to hear it.
"This will probably be the last telegram ever sent in the world. However, telegrams are still relevant in this vast country"
Probably isn't news.
Well, it could be an opportunity for a ground breaking new "Email via Hand Delivery" patent! Also, they could train delivery persons to "sing" the email to the recipient, thus helping employ some of the people that just "couldn't make it" in Bollywood...
Of course that breaks down a bit when encountering hermaphrodites or asexuals (biological ones, we're not discussing sexual orientation), but those are such a vanishingly small percentage of the population that it's unlikely the database would be coded to handle them anyway.
So, they won't be recoding Match.com? Hermaphrodites getting together could make for some serious hookups... vapor lock, even...
If you use both isMale and isFemale they can be Boolean and you have all bases covered. 1 and 1 for hermaphrodites, and 0 and 0 for asexuals... anybody else should be a 0 and 1 or 1 and 0.

Blame Geert Wilders!
Blame one far-right candidate for the actions of the entire government? I don't think so, the problem is systemic.
See, I would have gone with "the problem is chronic"...
A nooner with someone of decreased stature...
For what it's worth, let's remember that digital has the word digit in it and analog has the word anal in it.
Sure, but if you put them together and you get the dreaded "Stinky Pinky"!

Call it LinXP?
I read anoxia as anorexia.
90% of all species died... but they were looking very stylish right up to that point...

I, for one, resent the fact that you completely omitted ass-hats!
When you put on the nose,
It grows and grows.
But when you put on the hat,
Well fuck, that's that!
In any case we're all Bozos on this bus.
In case you don't get the last bit, these dudes were talking about computer controlled interactive holograms in a 1971 comedy album...
and you are an asshole......
Maybe, but he's not calling himself an OS...

Gives a whole new meaning to "terminated before completing probationary period"...

...a sub-par hermaphrodite laptop/tablet to go with it (Surface)...
They knew people were going to say it could go fuck itself... so this is really a time saving feature...
Searching "Clinkle tinkle"... Oddly no rule 34 stuff yet.

We can't stay young for long, but we can be immature just as long as we like...
Also, 40 is not the new ANYTHING, it's just fucking 40.
