    Honda's Exoskeletons Help You Walk Like Asim

    Is this some sort of racial slur?

    Hmm, you need to bazooka some trucks and get your GTA stars up to 3 for any decent response.

    You forgot about wife bot.

    "These new aluminum footgear were in actuality 50% off, so I am conserving money."
    "Ah, this power supply? I have possesed it for years."
    "No I do not know who recorded over the football game. Is it possible it was the roomba?"

    Not that I'm telling you something you don't know but the first three are typically high in saturated fat and wrapped (or underlayed) with highly processed white flour bread products. Apart from any added veggies, there's very little there nutritionally. Relatively healthier than the other three but by no means good for your health.

    Ummm, worms mostly.

    That's what he just said. What are you trying to contradict exactly?

  8. Re:all hail the future on Self-Powered Parts Are the Future · · Score: 1

    That's not the future, that's mescaline.

  9. Re:Achievements... on American Business Embraces 'Gamification' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Am I only the one who doesn't need a pat on the back every 5 minutes in order to enjoy something or derive satisfaction from it?

    Be honest, you've been checking back every five minutes to see if your post is +5 Insightful yet...

    But to run Wing Commander on modern hardware, it doesn't need to be optimal. 80/20 rule dude.

    They are trained for safety and security purposes, including crashes and hijacking.

    Maybe so but on Ryanair, they are mostly trained to sell you stuff.

    Careful there comrade, they're listening. (After all, they are the FCC).

  13. Re:The Red Button on Ideas For a Great Control Room? · · Score: 1

    You need a PA system for when clients are visiting. It has to play random panicky announcements such as:

    "Doctor, the test subject has escaped!"

    or

    "Containment breach in Sector G!"

    I think yes, as is "begs the question"...

    Oh really, I could care less...

  18. Re:Tethers and such are not a way to clean up. on 9 Ideas For Coping With Space Junk · · Score: 1

    The rate of orbital decay should eventually (years, decades, centuries) take care of everything in low earth orbit. So if we can stop putting stuff up there which doesn't decay well, eventually we should have less stuff overall. Maybe.

    The various space junk are like people and teeth. If you ignore them for long enough, they'll eventually go away.

  19. Re:So? on Wired Youths In China & Japan Forget Character Forms · · Score: 1

    If I were a counselor, I'd say that the use of "trying" in a sentence implies expected failure.

    Yes, thanks very much Yoda.

    Let's say there is no cake, in fact the cake is lie. You go down to your local bakery and buy one (confidently or unconfidently). What then?

  22. Re:So? on Wired Youths In China & Japan Forget Character Forms · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd point out that Korea went from the nation in south-east Asia with the lowest literacy rate to the nation with the highest within a few decades of abandoning the Chinese ideographic writing system in favour of a phonographic one.

    That's fascinating. I'm trying to learn Kanji but it might be more achievable (for me personally) to convince Japan to change their writing system.

    More generally, we Slashdotters suck at laundering.

    On second thoughts, for an Apple Exec, that kind of prison probably won't be such a bad gig.

    Well, the kind of prison he's going to, he's definitely going to have to diversify. At least on some of his lifestyle choices...
