It could also be used to burn off the excess sugar as bio-luminescence to be the light of the party.

Sorry, the joke had to be made.

How can computers be so alien to us when we've designed them? No, alien isn't quite the right word to use here, but rather lacking in development. You might say they are a proto-intelligence; all we've been doing, for the past 50+ years, is building the foundation for real artificial, rational thought.

You can't label something "alien" simply because you don't recognize it.

This must be that "transparency" I've been hearing so much about.

Is certainly why many went to Android. While I do know a few android power users, most got an Android because the did not need most of the features of a smart phone.

I'm curious; what can iphone do that android can't?

Are you kidding? I hear there's some great hiking up along the border.

( god damn retards )

No, I'm the poor bastard that continually gets sucked into meeting after meeting with ignorant salesdrones spouting nonsense like "Internet of Things" and "Clouds" ( when they, themselves, haven't got a god damned clue what they're saying ), wasting time I should be spending on actual IT work.

Ah, but if I don't go to it and correct the bullshit as it happens, it will have time to implant itself into management's head, and by the time I become aware of it it's already gained enough momentum to be called a "Project".

So I guess we've moved on from "TEH CLOUDS" to "The internet of things"?

Fucking shoot me.

Because he's a politician. By that very definition, he is not to be trusted. His motivations and intentions are suspect, and always will be.

Trust a politician, and you get what you deserve.

Well, I think it might be more accurate to say that he *gave* a valid reason, but I hardly expect that was his primary motivation.

Still, the enemy of my enemy and all that..

Not that I'm opposed to any of those necessarily, but #3 is unworkable. Who calls for the No Confidence vote?

cannabis is remarkably easy to grow. It's a weed, probably literally.

Checkmate, suckers.

Perhaps if you all show enough deference, I'll take you with me to the top.

Shouldn't that result in the patches being released for anyone to use?

AHAHAHAHA, sorry. Had to make the joke.

...but this is SyFy, it'll end up being some kind of wrestling show.

Granted, probably with a bad paranormal twist.

How do you suppose they advertise this? "Need subjects for really cool study! $10s and all the ice cubes you can eat! Must have own gun/knife."
