Comment What kind of UFO investigator? (Score 1) 56

The actually unidentified flying object investigator that you want to figure out if something was an odd atmospheric phenomenon, something civilian, a foreign spy craft, or one of your own that wasn't supposed to be seen... or the kind who thinks he's Fox Mulder and wants to prove little green (or grey) men have nothing better to do than fly across light years of space to buzz rural closeted homosexuals and give them dreams of being sodomized by sex toys?

At least in the US, young people are wealthier than they ever have been.

Wow! Do you REALLY believe that? Sure, my son makes more dollars than I did at a similar point in my life... but the dollars... they just don't go anywhere near as far. It was the same with myself and my own father. I made more than he and his wife did at a similar point in life and I was very much not better off than they were. (both father and his wife had a masters degree, not blue collar work)

A former president has every reason to lie. He is not free to share classified information, nor in a position to declassify it.

A former president used to be a president, and on the way out the door they could have declassified anything they wanted to. None of them did. Left, right, or center, none of them. Many joked about asking about UFOs once they got into office.

They can be processor, they can be storage, they can be combined to create more efficient transistors, they can handle more than binary states. They're essentially a hardware-implemented neural net node and I am still waiting to see someone manage to use them for that.

I suppose a Venus-tolerant surface probe would be pretty impressive too. Or a home computer that didn't fry itself if the cooling fan seized.
