Since not everyone went to Sunday School, TFS is referencing Genesis chapter 1 verse 1.

I'd read you the verse proper, but since verse 2 hasn't been quoted yet, it's too dark to read...

The *real* solution is in beta by Google right now. The self driving car.

This country is so big that mass transit will never cover more than a small fraction of the nation. Commuting is a boring chore, and many folks like myself welcome the day when we can do what we want to be doing rather than driving.

OK, level with us. What do really you think the odds are of you succeeding in getting this craft into stable earth orbit?

Another question - who owns it now? Are there any space equivelents to water based flotsam and jetsam?

It's symbolic, as has been shown with many other petitions that the president has ignored, but here goes:

Because of the deaths she's directly & indirectly caused. All because she needed a reason to explain away her child's mis-diagnosis of autism.

Ah, so this explains why Silicon Valley is located in France.

Seriously, if someone wants to work crazy hours, why not let them?

I had that phase in my career, and it paid off. I'm in a different phase now. I just choose not to work after hours. If my employer didn't like that, I'd have found a better job by now. Same thing for travel - I used to travel a ton. Now I don't want to, and so I found a place to work with no travel. I'm a grownup, I can take care of myself, thank-you-very-much.

In other words, there's too many governemnt regulations to have new competition, therefore the solution is to add more government regulations.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the solution is to allow very small startups the ability to compete in individual buildings and small cities.

This technology crops up every few years, but never catches on.

VirtualBoy, anyone?

There's a killer app out there somewhere, but I don't think we've found it yet.

This means my next Keurig will be a Keurig-compatible machine, sans-DRM.
I can't imagine anything they could possibly add to the "pods" to warrant moving way from all of the clone pods & machines. (Freshness date chips? Custom brewing settings?)

I smell a failing business model brewing...

This.

I'd go one step further, and say that auto manufactures shouldn't even try - because they can't keep up with today's pace of change.

Just give me a dashboard touch screen that mirrors my phone/tablet/widget. Total pass-though. Then I can pick my platform & apps. Everyone wins.

During peak load, the utility ran peaker plants. This isn't unusual.

Now, running a high cost peaker for 15 hours, that's noteworthy.

For an all-time high, you want a combination of a large number of devices, over a long period of time.

I'd say cell phones would do nicely. Probably something that runs often on all cells everywhere. Maybe something that sync's with cell towers, or handles jumping between towers.

Maybe text message handling code. How many texts are sent per day?

So... more realisting simulations yield more realistic results?

I suspect there's a film at 11.

Hoax News isn't all that bad to me. What really grinds my gears are the Troll News sites. Start with The Onion, then make nothing but "news" posts designed to incite the demographic & political leaning of your choice. Most of them try very hard to hide that they are parody sites.

It's just evil. They are getting clicks & advertising hits by trolling people, most of whom never catch on. I don't get why making a mockery of Grandma & getting her worked up over fake posts about the pope would be a good idea...
