Mostly dead is a little bit alive. A little bit alive they can work with.
But does it have a wheelbarrow? That would be something.

Exactly! Why would Slashdot ever carry a story about Leonard Nimoy? Wasn't he in some westerns, like Gunsmoke and The Virginian? Anything else that we should know about? Did he ever travel? Any famous treks to relate that nerds would care about?
Well, he was a TV star. So when he was trekking around the Wild West doing those westerns you list, I suppose we could say he was a star trekking.
So wait, you're saying that narrow corporate interests were trying to push their own inferior solution in place of a technically superior system strongly preferred by the userbase? There seems to be something vaguely familiar about this scenario, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
You must be thinking of Windows Metro!

Who says he let his hair and beard grow long? What evidence from the skeleton would have led to this conclusion?
They found a selfie on a nearby fossilized cellphone.
In discussions about government spying and surveillance, there is often a vocal group who says "if you don't have anything to hide, then this spying should not bother you."
Answer: "So, if that is the case, then you won't mind giving me your name and address and phone number. After all, `if you don't have anything to hide, then this spying should not bother you'."
You forgot some pertinent facts: The U.S. has a long history of funding terrorists, supporting coups, and undermining democracies.
Yes, but they are OUR terrorists, OUR coups, and OUR ENEMIES' democracies.
And we are RIGHT!
Moral choices are so much easier when your country is always right. It's practically like you don't even need to think.
Didn't Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" sing a song called "Moon Rover"?
That's the first thought I had when I saw this topic.
99.28% of visitors arrive directly at the site, and only 7.7% arrived from Google
But what about the other -6.98% ?
Clearly they left the site.
There's a reason people have generally looked up to the US.
Odd. I thought we foreigners all looked up to Norway as the best country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index#2013_report
You there, little boy, I bet you could use Web 3.0!
Web N is so passé. Web N+1 is much better.
There. I have achieved eternal oneupmanship.
"I'm the world's leading researcher in the field of slugs' and sandcastle worms' "
just got replaced by:
"My research is used by heart surgeons to save lives and ease recovery"
Yep, someone's life just got a lot easier at parties...
I dunno. I'm sure the slug and sandcastle worm guy would be a greater hit at some parties. Little kids love slugs and worms.
If a self-driving car can't avoid an impending incident there is no way I will believe a human could.
We're headed down the freeway. Up ahead I see some teenagers standing on an overpass holding something large and watching cars pass underneath. I recognize a potential dropped rock and change lanes to get away from it. Will the computer do that?
All your problems aer easily solved: computerised people!
Not to be confused with this link to when we discussed these predictions on Slashdot, back in August. Really, I'm surprised Asimov didn't predict that we'd still have dupes in 2014.
No, Slashdot back then was just predicting this discussion today. It is truly amazing the foresight that Slashdot has: it often can predict a discussion weeks before it even happens, and even give samples of what that future discussion will be like. Amazing.
Sad, isn't it? We live under far worse tyranny today than we did under King George III.
You could always revoke the Declaration of Independence.
