God help the users if German developers and engineers modify the software. It will all run perfectly until someone makes a trivial human mistake.
Sorry, just trying to get over my BMW/VW nightmares. The flashbacks are terrible.

Which sort of implies that we, like the Romans and the British, are diverting just a wee bit too much of our resources on military activity, eh?
You can't have everything.

1) Virtually every Western democracy has public health care (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_health_care).
2) By some miracle, they manage to pay for it.
3) By and large, if you read the blogs of people actually living in those countries, they appear reasonably happy with their imperfect but functioning health systems (http://www.thehealthcareblog.com/the_health_care_blog/international/).
So, the opponents are essentially claiming that America is too "special" (i.e. lame) to do what virtually every other country can do. That may not be what they say, but that's what they imply.
Of course, I was six at the time, and the buildings were only suitable for ants, grasshoppers and spider and snails. Admittedly I also had significant compatibility and upgrade problems which were quickly fixed with a "light spanking" patch.
would help the kids enormously. Hell, it would help us *all* enormously. I'm not holding my breath on that one though. I mean, "im not holding mi breth on that wun tho."
Ha! You pinkos! I bet you want ALL charging systems to work on 60 cps 120 volt AC current. At least one of them should only be straight 36 amp DC current and the other should actually *mix* AC and DC on the same line, thus working against itself during each AC cycle. By golly, not *THAT'S* American!
Am I going to spend a lot of time on a 7 year old's game PC protecting it from being added to the botnet army of darkness on its latest evil crusade for human souls? Frankly, why the hell would I care?
A lot of *closed* source coders seem to avoid UI aspects and usability like a plague. In summary: "Almost all coders seem to avoid UI aspects and usability like a plague"
I think it would be cool enough if he could just go back in time, eh? AND he could start a really neat weekly science fiction drama (starring Barack Obama as "Time President!")
Instead of this "Our Moon!, Our Mars!" "First!" crap, then they might be taken more seriously than a bunch of footballers trying to win the championship.
Near earth orbit living environment for hospitals, enhanced communication satellite networks, space-based solar power, zero-g industries. The list goes on. If NASA was engaged in these useful and profitable activities, nobody would think of shutting them down. Their job is done. Let private industry take over.
Ha! You spoiled whippersnappers were lucky enough to have plasma! Well, back in my day, all we had was *nothing* and I mean *nothing!* Just a bit empty black hole full of entropy. Then it exploded. And that's the we we LIKED it!

"Mental disorder" is a socially defined entity. Many cases are borderline. Being extremely asocial, or having Aspergers are two examples.
Then there are those unstable enough to voluntarily seek public office......
What could go wrong?
Wouldn't you have one if you could afford it?

Any questions?
I remember CDs. They made such pretty coffee coasters after I burned all their music to my MP3 player.
Of course, I was six at the time, and the buildings were only suitable for ants, grasshoppers and spider and snails. Admittedly I also had significant compatibility and upgrade problems which were quickly fixed with a "light spanking" patch.
Well, it IS and ISN'T in a quantum state. Any more questions?

No, sadly, I altered the outcome by letting her observe me.

That's stretching it. Are senators "people?" What about representatives? Or Wall Street bankers? Or economists?
And the FAQ should be in the manual.
I think you just proved JeremyGNJ's point without even meaning to.

Your DNA will be assimilated into the collective. Your life as you know it has ended. From now on, you will service us.
But you do get to wear a really cool monocle.
We simply cannot sustainably survive on one planet unless we're willing to have a nuclear war to kill a few billion people.
Or we're willing to make contraception easy and cheap worldwide.
Beats nuke war. Cheaper than space funding too.
