Do you think he meant the Camargue?

Wouldn't it be smarter to discuss this "one dumpster" issue with people at your office and potentially have that changed?

I thought Fox was the ultimate source of artificial intelligence...

So would a powerful electromagnet yeah?

No fair! They changed the outcome by measuring it!

Reminds me of an old joke:

Q: What's the punishment for polygamy?

A: Multiple wives.

True indeed. He could have said: The "N Word".

I was thinking along the same lines regarding the transporter.

Wouldn't it be great to transport food, agricultural machinery, etc (that's a BIG etc btw ;) to people in impoverished countries?

The mind boggles at how much the world would change. No more need for road/rail/air transport of goods/people, cutting down pollution and transport times significantly. It would also make space exploration a lot simpler: even if the transporter has a limited range (which I'm guessing it does), a series of them on spacecraft along the path to the destination would allow us to beam large groups of people onto other planets.

Beam me up!

Indeed! As Louis CK says, "Even a single-edged sword is a double-edged sword"

I can't vouch for the validity of this, but this is a fun read if your appetite was piqued by PopeRazto's post:

http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/religion/aleister-crowley/

You should find the Charlie Manson easter egg there, and a lot of the other twisted stuff mentioned in PopeRazto's post.

I'd recommend taking it all with a grain of salt, and reading this stuff at home, not at work :)

Heh, and here I was about to violently disagree with your post. I'm glad it was a joke, and can't believe I missed it. Emulator, tape, sign-off... lol.

I too am scared by the fact it was modded Insightful. Hum.

Although unintentional, it made your .signature appropriate :)
