Oh come on. You just know some bozo will figure out how to modulate the power laser so you can enjoy 101 strings doing songs you used to love until you just fucking jump instead of waiting for the rescue...
Conversely, the 'brights' (don't tell Dawkins about this!) would be producing lots more free-radicals than normal. I sure hope they also have more efficient repair mechanisms in place to mop them up.
If this was common I'm sure we would soon have some sort of discrimination against "brights" for mucking up the gene pool... a great time to take up the old Three Mile Island chant
Current impressions of the job market aside, why would someone qualified for a profession who can earn upwards of $100,000 per year, work in PC repair, where even the better management jobs pay less than half that?
Because they get to steal photos and documents, as well as login details for email and bank accounts... I'm pretty sure they don't report the revenue from those activities either, so it's like an untaxed bonus. Education alone does not insure honesty or integrity.
I reinstall, get all the updates, patches, drivers and what not installed and then make a disk image... that saves a lot of time later, especially if you have people that constantly mess up their system. They have a problem, you save what data they have and slap the image onto the drive, then update it and yes, make a new image of the clean, updated install.
Welcome, visitor from the past! In this futuristic year of 2009, people who are not nerds are actually USING COMPUTERS! Also, WOMEN are allowed to VOTE and WEAR PANTS.
Oh sure, but let them vote to wear no pants and the wheels come right off the whole system... Pity... I for one would have welcomed our bottomless female overlords...
it's like renting a car for a week, but if you cancel within 24 hours you get to keep the car.
Hey, let's work some bailout money into that deal... Then you rent the car for a week, cancel in 24 hours, and you get to keep the rental company... but you have to pay everyone involved a bonus for doing such a good job.
Shoot for simple complexity and you most likely end up with something that's simply complex...

The particulars about how those rights are protected will have to change over time, as the culture and technology change. Those can be individual laws and court cases, but probably shouldn't be in a constitution.
That's exactly right! One of the things that really pushes my buttons is when someone says that the US Constitution's Second Amendment is about muskets and black powder rifles, and does not apply to modern guns. The fact is that the founding fathers had just defeated the former lawful government of their area using the best and latest technology available to them. Long Rifles were cutting edge tech, they were not available to the lawful army in mass, and they were used to great advantage by the rebels whenever possible. The point is that the amendment does not try to outline technical methods and specifications, it just delineates the right of the populace to bear arms. That's how you write something like this, it helps to insure it's durability.
All in all, they did a fair job for the time and place they were in, I hope Nepal does as well or better in their endeavor.
Yes, but every few months they'll release a new version and the old version refuses to update. At least, that's how it always worked for me.
I agree. Also, each new version seems to be slower, bigger, and more naggy about purchasing an upgrade. A couple weeks ago I switched to Avast4 free edition. I had used it back in Win98 days and it seems to be doing a good job with less system overhead.

You actually hit it right on the head. The next thing is personal, targeted messaging to deliver ads. That "guy" will be your phone, and it's going to remind you of all the opportunities to spend money that are in close proximity to you. I'm sure some doughnut chain will lock down the use of Homer Simpson saying "Doughnuts, ahhwggrrrdroollll." And every fast food place will be bombarding you with their jingle. Then advertisers will find a way to justify sending blanket text messages in a given radius (perhaps buy paying telcos a flat rate and charging the receiving party nothing) saying it is freedom of speech and you could opt out if you wanted to... A dumb phone may be a smart thing soon.
That's right, but the yardstick to measure intelligence is subjective. The Bovine-Human communication work group was just dealt a severe blow when three of it's best researchers were eaten at a barbecue...
Besides, it's stupid to think that Armstrong and Aldrin wouldn't have messed up the first footprint since it was, you know, right at the bottom of the ladder and in a high traffic area.
Also, there was a lot dust flying when they did a vertical launch to rejoin the command module. Apollo 11 did not leave a TV camera behind, but other trips (when we sent rovers) did. Apollo 17 looks like what I would expect from this operation, and I would not expect a footprint just below the rockets to survive...
After bitterness, the next problems redefined will be sourness (just not liking anyone) and saltiness (liking everyone enough to want to sleep with them... and telling them).

Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.
Even Napoleon had his Watergate.
Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.
He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.
I always thought that record would stand until it was broken.
I just want to thank everyone who made this day necessary.
I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?
I never said most of the things I said.
I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering that question.
If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's gonna stop 'em.
If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be.
If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer.
If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.
It ain't over till it's over.
It ain't the heat, it's the humility.
It gets late early out there.
It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.
It's like deja-vu, all over again.
