Comment Beer accident? (Score 1) 317

Only time I've ever lost a computer was when a friend of mine managed to empty a pint of beer down it's keyboard. It was a laptop, so the beverage also soaked the hardware underneath. Hence my vote for natural distaster.

Lol, just watched the video montage he did of the stunt. Some minutes into the video, after showing a couple of hundred faces, he ponders "Would people look different if I showed them how the computer sees them?" - or in other words "Would people react differently if I showed them I was taking pictures of them?"

As predicted - most did. Next he says "Most just hit escape".

Couldn't help but laugh at his naivety. Of course people would hit escape - they don't want their picture taken you twat!

I couldn't agree more. I'm totally convinced we'll see a flourishing private space industry well before we're dead. Astroid mining, harvesting solar energy .. something like that must become a motivator for entrepreneurs and investors sooner or later. And the baby steps taken during the tourism era could provide the fuel to the industry's growth through innovation and cost efficiency.
